#Release

InterSystems is pleased to announce the general availability of:

• InterSystems IRIS Data Platform 2024.1.0.267.2
• InterSystems IRIS for Health 2024.1.0.267.2
• HealthShare Health Connect 2024.1.0.267.2

This release adds support for the Ubuntu 24.04 operating system.  Ubuntu 24.04 includes Linux kernel 6.8, security improvements, along with installer and user interface improvements.  InterSystems IRIS IntegratedML is not yet available on Ubuntu 24.04.

Additionally, this release addresses two defects for all platforms:

• A fix for some SQL queries using “NOT %INLIST” returning incorrect results.

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.
