#Release

Below is an update to the IRIS release calendar for 2026 and an early look at the planned changes for 2027. The key takeaway for 2026 is that maintenance release numbering will differ slightly from prior years.

2026: IRIS 2026.1 maintenance release numbering

• July 2026: first maintenance release for IRIS 2026.1 (planned version: 2026.1.4)
• October 2026: next maintenance release (planned version: 2026.1.5)
• February 2027: following maintenance release (planned version: 2026.1.6)

This numbering change prepares us for the expanded maintenance cadence planned for 2027.

In v2026.2 (currently available as a Developer Preview), we are adding a feature that can help in a FHIR Endpoint SMART/OAuth authorization - more out-of-the-box flexibility in audience value validation.

InterSystems has released IAM 3.10.0.9, which is a maintenance release of IAM 3.10 that includes significant fixes, including fixes for security vulnerabilities.

For those of you running older versions of IAM, we encourage you to start planning your upgrade. Customers upgrading from versions of IAM earlier than 3.10 must get a new IRIS license key to use IAM 3.10.  

IAM is an API gateway between your InterSystems IRIS servers and applications, providing tools to effectively monitor, control, and govern HTTP-based traffic at scale.

A very important feature for HL7 FHIR has been introduced with the release of v2026.1 - the support for SMART on FHIR v2 fine-grained granular Scopes.

This enables you to be much stricter and more accurate in the access you provide to the data in your FHIR repository.

Part of this new support is to refuse requests that don't match the scopes, but an even more interesting ability is to filter the results according to the provided scopes.
