InterSystems is pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.1 are now available on all supported platforms.

This followup announcement adds all the OpenVMS versions that were excluded in the announcement last week.

InterSystems is pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.1 are now available as maintenance releases.

For a complete list of the corrections in 2016.1.1, please review the release notes.

Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.1 are available now for the same platforms as 2016.1.0, with the following exceptions:

• OpenVMS is not available yet.  It will be announced separately.

• Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for Power System-64 is now dropped. 

The complete set of supported platforms, including specific point releases and/or patches, is detailed in the Supported Platforms document.

On June 7th we'll be releasing two new views of content that will allow you to rapidly see what's new on the site as well as identify content that has gone unanswered. The next step for this (after this release) will be to add in personalization so that you can filter content based on your tag and member "following" preferences.

I am pleased to announce the field test of Caché and Ensemble 2016.3 -  with many new improvements.

The product team at InterSystems looks forward to your participation in the field test and feedback over the coming months.

Some of the more signification changes in 2016.3 are new RESTful APIs for iKnow and broader APIs for programmatic control of multiple servers (enterprise manager).  As always, there are a host of scalability and performance improvements, including improvements to the core database and SQL.  And hundreds of smaller improvements and corrections.

Developer Community was refreshed on May 30th with the following new features and fixes:

1. Formatting of postings in My Collaborations and My Content has been improved

2. Browse by Tag now has filtering options for New, Highest Rated and Unanswered posts

3. Full paging is back on the home page

4. Browse by Tag now includes child tags. Example - posts tagged only with "MDX", which is a child tag of "DeepSee", will appear when using Browse by Tag and viewing DeepSee content

5. Browse by Member is now available.

Now that 2016.1 has been released I would like to draw everyone's attention to the Ensemble release notes that describes the new features.

I am happy to share the news that Zen Mojo 1.1.1 has been released. This release includes many improvements and bugfixes, the most important are:

• Multiple improvements for the offline bundle generation, e.g. subfolders are correctly copied to the target folder
• Optimizations for the dojo library, including a reduced load time by prepackaging required widgets into a single JS file
• The utility functions $show and $hide are now supported by the dojo and chart.js plugin
• Zen Mojo now stops event propagation by default.

At the end of this year support for OpenSSL 1.0.1 will end. InterSystems has started the process to move to OpenSSL 1.0.2 and use the 1/28/2016 release (1.0.2f) for verification and product inclusion. I will update this post once InterSystems  decided which versions will receive  support for OpenSSL 1.0.2.

I am happy to announce the immediate availability of  Caché and Ensemble 2016.1.

The highlights of 2016.1 are

• Significant improvements in JSON support
• Continued advances in SQL performance
• Database scalability improvements
• New REST services for DeepSee

These and other new features are summarized in this video introduction to 2016.1

For complete technical details of what’s changed in 2016.1, review the Caché release notes and the Ensemble release notes.  

With this release we've done a few things with subscriptions

1. Exposed personalization settings so you can control how and when you receive the email subscription notifications. See the image below

2. The ability to selectively subscribe to email notification for content by Tag. At the top of the "Browse by Tag" page there is a new link to Subscribe with Email.

3. Made RSS feeds available for content based on Tag and based on Group. At the top of the "Browse by Tag" and "Browse by Group" pages you will see the RSS link.

4. The ability to subscribe/unsubscribe to individual posts.

Here are a few other changes and updates coming in this release.

1. When making a new post, the Related Topics (tagging) is now required. We are doing this because we want to add more features to the site and need the content organized by tag for more granular navigation, cross-linking and page customization. We will create a posting in Developer Community Feedback so that tags can be discussed and we'd be happy to adjust what tags are available now.

This is the first of several postings on the release coming March 15th

Questions vs. Articles

We now have the ability to distinguish, at posting time, between a "Question" and an "Article". These two types of postings will exhibit different behaviors that we think will optimize the experience of the user.

InterSystems is pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2015.1.4 are now available as maintenance releases.
For a complete list of the corrections in 2015.1.4, please review the release notes.

Caché and Ensemble 2015.1.4 are available today for the same platforms as 2015.1.3.
The complete set of supported platforms, including specific point releases and/or patches, is detailed in the Supported Platforms document.

We released another set of improvements this week and will continue pushing out fixes and features in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you for using the InterSystems Developer Community and please continue providing feedback.
