InterSystems IRIS & IRIS for Health 2024.2 Developer preview update

An updated developer preview of InterSystems IRIS 2024.2 and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2024.2 has been posted to the WRC developer preview site.  This release contains a few noteworthy changes:

• Containers – we skipped containers for the previous preview, but we’re including them this time.  In a future preview, we’re planning to switch these to use the Ubuntu 24.04 base image.
• Ubuntu 24.04 support – this preview includes support for the brand-new Ubuntu 24.04 operating system.  We will be dropping support for Ubuntu 20.04 in a later preview.
• Windows Installer upgrades – this preview includes changes to the Windows installer.  The only thing you should notice is that it runs faster, but if you find any problems, do please let us know.
• Studio is now installed separately – starting with IRIS 2024.2, Studio no longer comes with the IRIS kit on Windows.  By now, most customers have switched to using Visual Studio Code.  If you want to still use Studio, it is available to download separately from the WRC.
