InterSystems WRC has investigated several issues of process failure that can be attributed to a recent change in Red Hat Linux.
A new feature implemented in RHEL V7.2 (systemd-219-19.el7.x86_64) can cause O.S. IPC (Inter-process communication) semaphores to be deallocated when a non-system RHEL user logs out (system users, i.e. with a UID number < 1000, are excluded)
I'm pleased to see this in the documentation of the just-published 2017.1 Field Test of Ensemble:
"In certain circumstances, it is useful to create namespaces that are not enabled for Ensemble. In this release you can do this by clearing the Make this an Ensemble namespace checkbox when creating a new namespace. "
We at George James Software recently released a new version of Deltanji, the native source code management tool for Caché, Ensemble and HealthShare.
Version 6.1 includes several enhancements, including easy creation of labels. Bulk transfer of large codesets is also now available from the browser UI.
A perpetually free "install and go" Solo Edition of Deltanji is available. Licenses can be purchased for other editions that provide more advanced code management and deployment features.
Deltanji is compatible with Atelier. It can also manage external files.
I am happy to share the news that Zen Mojo 1.1.2 has been released. This release includes a critical fix for Firefox that we had to get out as fast as possible. No other changes are included to allow easy upgrades. We recommend upgrading to this release if you are running on Zen Mojo 1.1.1.
All upcoming Caché and Ensemble releases will ship with Zen Mojo 1.1.2.
InterSystems has corrected a defect that may result in missing updates when utilizing Caché online backup.
This defect is present in all Caché and Ensemble versions 2015.1.x, 2015.2.x and 2016.1.x, and all HealthShare distributions based on those versions. It affects all platforms and operating systems except backups of OpenVMS cluster databases.
Caché 2015.2 announced support for TLS v1.1 and v1.2. In this version, the SSL/TLS configuration page provides checkboxes for TLS v1.1 and v1.2, which allows the versions to be configured individually. This allows sites to, for example, require TLS v1.2 only.
Additionally, some earlier versions of Caché provide undocumented support for TLS v1.1 and v1.2, specifically Caché 2014.1.3 and above and 2015.1, on Windows, Linux and Unix.
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.
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.
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.
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
Steve Glassman is on vacation today so in his place I wanted to announce the availability of a new kit for the 2016.2 Field Test. The kit details are: 2016.2.0.665.0
There is a wide range of changes to the 2016.2 Field Test, 145 of them in total. You can find a complete listing here:
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.
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.
In this release we added new functionality that marks postings with either a "new" icon or an "unread" icon depending on when you came to the site last and the age of the postings.
Here are the rules as currently implemented:
- If a user hasn't viewed content which was posted less than 2 weeks ago, then the label "new" is displayed.
- If the user hasn't viewed content which was posted more than 2 weeks ago then the label "unread" is display.
I am pleased to announce that Caché and Ensemble 2015.2.3 are now available as maintenance releases. For a complete list of the corrections in 2015.2.3, please review the release notes.
Caché and Ensemble 2015.2.3 are available now for the same platforms as 2015.2.2
The complete set of supported platforms, including specific point releases and/or patches, is detailed in the Supported Platforms document.
