#Release

The Cogs.JsonClass library is now available in the Cogs project on GitHub.

https://github.com/SeanConnelly/Cogs

Please see the README and the /docs folder on how to use the class.

Overview

The Cogs.JsonClass class provides a one step serialisation and deserialisation to and from Caché registered and persistent classes. It is not dependent on any other code and should be compatible with older versions of Caché.

The unit tests have been included in the update, but until I release the dependent Touchstone unit test solution it won't be possible to run these tests.

InterSystems is pleased to announce the availability of the following maintenance releases:

• Caché and Ensemble 2017.1.1
• HealthShare Health Connect v15.021 on core technology 2017.1.1

Caché and Ensemble are available on the same platforms as 2017.1.0, except as noted below

• The full list of corrections can be found in the release notes.
• The version number of the kits for these releases is 2017.1.1.111.0
• Oracle Solaris 10, 11 for SPARC-64 and Oracle Solaris 10, 11 for x86-64 are not yet approved.

HealthShare HealthConnect v15.021 on core technology 2017.1.1.111.

We at George James Software are pleased to announce the release of version 2.6 of Serenji, our editor and debugger for Caché, Ensemble and HealthShare.
The main enhancement in 2.6 is the ability to run on a Linux <edit> or OS X </edit> workstation using Wine 1.8. More release details are here.
This is a free upgrade to users already holding an activation key. For new users a free 30 day evaluation period is granted upon installation.

It's almost a year since I have published a series of articles explaining how to configure Cache instance as a client / resource server / authorization server. By that time, the implementation of OAuth 2.0 was still a pre-release software.

With the advent of Cache version 2017.1 a lot has changed. OAuth 2.0 implementation is fully completed and supported. Numerous new features were added (e.g. dynamic client registration)  - see release notes here for full details - and configuration pages have been redesigned to a great extent as well.

Hi, Community!

Please meet  a new Developer Community UI release with new features and some bugfixes.

With this release we changed a color scheme to meet corporate colors more. 

We introduced browser notifications not to miss new posts on Developer Community. They would pop up only if you turn them on and only if you don't see the Community at the moment. 

Also we introduced the special inverse color for accepted answers. Like here:

Dear question authors! Please mark answers as accepted to make the world better (of course if there is an answer, you can accept).

We also fixed a few bugs.

Now if you want to ping a member with email notification, just place in the post (or comment) following:

@name.surname

Once it is published, a member would get the email notification that he was mentioned in particular post/comment.

So, that's how I'm mentioning myself here: @evgeny.shvarov.

Have a great weekend!

Hi, Community!

Here are some news on Developer Community enhancements.

In March we fixed a lot of bugs and rearranged the notification system, so I hope you'll be happy with it now.

Enhanced content of the notification

With this new release in every email notification you'll see the reason, why did you get this particular notification and the option to unsubscribe of this types of notifications.

The notification will indicate whether you are subscribed to everything, or to particular group/tag, post or you got the message because you are following some member.

Hi, Community!

We have a new release here!

What has been introduced:

1. Better notifications

With this release I hope you will turn on back the email notifications because every new notification today in the beginning of itself will tell first, why did you get it describing the exact reason you got this particular notification.  And if you don't want this type of notification to be delivered anymore click unsubscribe link in the notification and it will lead to the settings of this very type to alter.

Also, I can indeed recommend digest mode (Use Subscriptions/Overview to turn it on).

I am pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2017.1 Release Candidate versions are now available for all platforms.

We appreciate the many customers who have downloaded, tried it, and given us feedback over the past few months.

Some things not in the original field test that you may want to check out include:

• Ubuntu is now a full production platform.
• OpenID Connect now supports JWKS with OpenID Connect Discovery and OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration.

There have been over 300 additions and corrections since the beginning of Field Test.

InterSystems is pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.3 are now available as maintenance releases.

For a complete list of the corrections in 2016.1.3, please review the release notes.

Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.3 are available on the same platforms as 2016.1.2.  The complete set of supported platforms, including specific point releases and patches, is detailed in the Supported Platforms document.

The HealthShare team will announce availability of its products separately.

The build corresponding to this release is 2016.1.3.306.0

Hi Community!

In this release we turned off the digest mode for all the members (until it would be fixed) and fixed the Update notifications: now this settings can be found in the same place for all the members: Subscriptions/Content types tab.

Meet in this small release the new very valuable feature: marking answers as "true" answers.

If you are an author of the question now you can choose the right answer if there are more than one and mark it with the green checkbox. Like it is shown here:

If there are more than one answer, the "true" one will be shown topmost.

Those of you who keep an eye on developments in the mainstream of IT will be aware that a major upheaval has been occurring over the last 5 or so years, in which JavaScript has exploded in popularity and importance.  Largely as a result of its server-side incarnation - Node.js - it has broken free of just being the scripting language that you use in web browser, to becoming the world's most popular language and enterprise technology of choice.

As soon as I started playing about with Node.

This announcement is to inform clients about changes in our 2016.2 and 2016.3 field test programs.  

The 2016.2 field test has been extended in order to address important syntax changes related to JSON. Simply stated, the JSON syntax introduced in 2016.1 had several inconsistencies that we did not want to perpetuate.   This is now addressed and the updated 2016.2 field test will be published today.  Concurrently, the syntax changes and guidance for developers will be posted on the Developer Community shortly. JSON is critically important to our Caché roadmap.

Hi!

We updated the DC a bit.

Member's answers

With this release, you can see the answers on the member's page too.

E.g. see the answers by Timothy Leavitt. 

Post updates don't move the post to top

So we can fix the tags, spelling and make other updates to the post and it would not be moved to top anymore. 

Now only new answers and comments move the post to the top of the feed.

RSS and other bug fixes

Now bugs for RSS feeds are fixed.

Also, Votes renamed to Rating and has the color indication now. Green means good!

Stay tuned for the next DC improvements!

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Atelier 1.0

This is the debut release of our new Eclipse based plugin for developing code on Cache and Ensemble.

Highlights include

•     Integrated Source Management
•     Debugging
•     Context based documentation
•     Server Side browsing of multiple systems
•     Compilation and Testing facilities

Atelier will be released independently of various server releases. The first versions of Cache and Ensemble that fully support Atelier are 2016.2 and higher. Facilities within Atelier itself will manage updating as we make newer versions available.

It feels like a couple of months since the last update (1.0.255) to the Field Test version.

November 22, 2016 – Alert: Database Integrity on UNIX^® and Linux Platforms

This defect affects Caché, Ensemble, and HealthShare distributions beginning with Caché version 2012.1. It is only a possible risk on UNIX and Linux platforms that are using asynchronous I/O for database writes. The following table specifies if asynchronous I/O is always on or optional for the affected platforms and releases:

I am pleased to announce the field test of Caché and Ensemble 2017.1, including many new improvements.
