IRIS for Health 2019.1 provides the following new capabilities:
Starting with 2017.1, InterSystems is adding Ubuntu (64-bit) as a third linux server platform. Prior to 2017.1 Ubuntu was already available as a development platform and customers could use InterSystems distributions build for SUSE to run on Ubuntu. As a result there are a few license key implications for 64-bit linux versions starting with Caché and Ensemble 2017.1:
a) Customers using RedHat will observe no changes
b) Customers using InterSystems products(1) for SUSE on SUSEÂ will need new license keys (no charge)
c) Customers using InterSystems products(1) for SUSE on Ubuntu will need new license keys (free of charge for 12 month(2))
(1) Caché, Ensemble, HealthShare, and TrakCare
(2) Starting with the Release of 2017.1
Caché 2018.1.2 and Ensemble 2018.1.2 maintenance releases are now available.   Â
InterSystems is currently verifying InterSystems IRIS 2019.1 with Windows Server 2019. This work is scheduled to complete by the end of January  2019. In the second half of this month InterSystems will add Caché/Ensemble 2018.1.2 to be verified on this platform.
As we get closer to the completion of those tasks, I will update this post with information on release dates, and which products and version will support Windows Server 2019.
InterSystems has corrected a defect that impacts the use of X.509 private keys stored in Caché, Ensemble, and Health Connect, but only in 2018.1.1, on any platform.
This defect does not affect new installations of 2018.1.1, only upgrades to that version. It affects WS-Security, not SSL/TLS Configurations.
InterSystems has corrected a defect that can result in data integrity problems in environments that use InterSystems mirroring in conjunction with parallel dejournaling. This problem exists for currently released Caché and Ensemble versions beginning with 2017.2 and for InterSystems IRIS Data Platform version 2018.1.
Breaking news!
InterSystems just announced the availability of the InterSystems IRIS for Health™ Data Platform across the Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure marketplaces.
With access to InterSystems unified data platform on all three major cloud providers, developers and customers have flexibility to rapidly build and scale the digital applications driving the future of care on the platform of their choice.Â

InterSystems is adopting a new approach to releasing InterSystems IRIS. This blog explains the new release model and what customers should expect to see. We laid this out at Global Summit at the end of the InterSystems IRIS roadmap session  and have received a lot of positive feedback from customers.
With this new model we offer two release streams:
1) An annual traditional release that we call EM (for Extended Maintenance)
2) A quarterly release that is tagged CD (for Continuous Delivery) and will be available only in a container format.
The Atelier 1.3 stable release update site (https://atelier.artifactoryonline.com/atelier/updates/stable/1.3/) has been updated to 1.3.117.
For the best upgrade experience, InterSystems suggests that you install Eclipse Photon fresh before installing Atelier 1.3.
New Features
Enhancements & Fixe
InterSystems IRIS Data Platform™ version 2018.2 is now available as a preview release. This is the first release in our new quarterly continuous-delivery (CD) release stream. (Check out the announcement about InterSystems’ new release cadence for InterSystems IRIS)
InterSystems is pleased to announce that InterSystems Caché and Ensemble 2018 are now released!
New in these releases are features that improve security and operations, including:
· Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) support
· Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) integration
· Integrated Windows Authentication support for HTTP
· SSH enhancements
Atelier has reached a threshold of feature completeness. Atelier 1.3 which is currently in flight will mainly focus on supporting the latest release of Eclipse Photon. After release, Atelier and Studio will continue to receive critical software corrections.
As previously announced, 2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS 8.4-1H1 is the final major version of Caché and Ensemble. 2017.1 will not be available for VSI OpenVMS versions beyond 8.4-1H1.
Maintenance releases of 2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS may be announced but only to deliver critical corrections. 2017.1 on VSI OpenVMS will be the Minimum Supported Version from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020. After December 31, 2020, no further maintenance releases will be made available. Â
Stable Releases of the Atelier plugin are now available from the Eclipse Marketplace. Just search for Atelier on the Eclipse website (https://marketplace.eclipse.org) or - even better - in the Eclipse IDE.
This is an convenient way to install this plugin, because you no longer have to enter the URL.
Project related quality assurance efforts have revealed a number of concerns for the current release of 2017.1.0 and 2017.1.1 on all OpenVMS platforms. In certain situations, the impact can be severe. InterSystems will address these issues with the upcoming 2017.1.2 release, and in the meantime, will remove all 2017.1.x kits for OpenVMS from our Download Servers.ÂIf you have immediate needs correcting existing deployments of this version, please contact the InterSystems WRC (support@intersystems.com).Â
July 27, 2017 – Alert: Linux Defects Can Corrupt Mirror Copies of Journal Files
InterSystems has encountered defects in Linux which can corrupt copies of journal files that are generated on a mirror backup or async member; this occurs only in certain specific configurations. The original mirror journal file created on the primary member is not affected.
The risk is only exposed in Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions beginning with version 2017.1.0. The risk only exists on Linux and only if a backup or async mirror member is configured to use the rtkaio library
June 26, 2017 – Alert: Data Corruption with Mixed Endian Mirror Shadowing
InterSystems has corrected a defect that may result in corruption of Unicode data on a shadow system whose source is an async mirror member.
This defect affects all currently released Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions beginning with version 2012.2.0. All platforms and operating systems are affected.
In order to be exposed to the risk the configuration must include mirror primary and async members, and a shadow of the async member. Additionally, the async member must be of different endian than both the primary mirror member and the shadow.
   Primary (endian X) -> Async (endian Y) -> Shadow (endian X)
In the above configuration, some Unicode strings greater than 255 characters on the shadow member may be corrupt for databases that are shadowed from the async
