#InterSystems Official

When IRIS 2023.2 reaches general availability, we’ll be making some improvements to how we tag and distribute IRIS & IRIS for Health containers.

IRIS containers have been tagged using the full build number format, for example 2023.1.0.235.1.  Customers have been asking for more stable tags, so they don’t need to change their dockerfiles/Kubernetes files every time a new release is made.  With that in mind, we’re making the following changes to how we tag container images.

Major.Minor Tags:  Containers will be tagged with the year and release, but not the rest of the full build number.

The third developer previews of InterSystems IRIS^® data platform, InterSystems IRIS^® for Health, and InterSystemsHealth Connect™ 2026.1 have been posted to the WRC developer preview site.  Containers can be found on our container registry and are tagged latest-preview.

These developer previews includes the dropping of Mac Intel support starting from 2026.1.0, and the adding back of Windows Server 2019 support to 2026.1.0.

Initial documentation can be found at these links below:

• InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2026.1 | Documentation Home Page
• HealthShare Health Connect 2026.1 | Documentation Home Page

The Interoperability user interface now includes modernized user experiences for the DTL Editor and Production Configuration applications that are available for opt-in in all interoperability products. You can switch between the modernized and standard views. All other Interoperability screens remain in the Standard user interface. Please note that changes are limited to these two applications and we identify below the functionality that is currently available. 

To try out the new screens prior to upgrading, you can download the 2025.

The 2025.1.3 maintenance releases of InterSystems IRIS^® data platform, InterSystems IRIS^® for Health, and InterSystems Health Connect™ are now Generally Available (GA).

IPM version 0.10.5 has been released on January 15, 2026. This new version contains a ton of improvements and bug fixes so be sure to check it out either directly from the GitHub page or from the Community Registry!

Hi,

We’re launching an Early Access Program for an upcoming Table Partitioning feature that will help IRIS customers manage very large tables, and distribute row data and associated indices across databases and storage tiers. Table Partitioning cuts deep into the core of IRIS relational data management, so we want to make sure we get things right through working with a few engaged customers who can provide feedback on the initial deliverables, and fine-tune as needed.

Hi community!

I am excited to say that since the beginning of this year we have published many of the client SDKs for InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS for Health and Health Connect to the corresponding external repositories (Maven, NuGet, npm and PyPI).

In review of the previous quarter, several notable developments were highlighted that remain relevant for this quarter’s report.

• Beginning with 2025.3, OpenSSL 3 will be standard across supported platforms; SUSE 15 sp6 becomes the required OS for organizations utilizing SUSE.
• For 2025.3, revised minimum CPU specifications will take effect.
• Windows Server 2016 will not be supported in 2025.3.
