Topic: Announcements Simplifier.net, incl. Forge and Firely Term...

Thought I'd start one thread/topic on our announcements, instead of creating new ones all the time :slight_smile:

:down: Here we'll post announcements on new releases of the Simplifier Suite, including FHIR collaboration and publishing platform Simplifier.net, FHIR profile editor Forge and command-line FHIR tool Torinox.

Probably best to put discussions in other, separate threads in #tooling.

:new: So here's the first update in the thread: Simplifier, Forge and Torinox now all support the latest FHIR versions (technical correction versions 3.0.2 and 4.0.1) and has all the FHIR packages (also created outside our platform) available to you!

Read more on how to take advantage of this in my blog post: https://blog.fire.ly/2020/04/08/the-most-exciting-updates-and-integrations-to-simplifier-in-2020/

:info: If your project depends on the mirrored packages of the FHIR spec (simplifier.core.stu3 or simplifier.core.r4) now would be a good time to update them to the official packages hl7.fhir.r3.core or hl7.fhir.r4.core (depending on your FHIR version). This will also allow you to update your own resources to FHIR 4.0.1.

There's a new release out from all the Forge versions and Simplifier.net, to coincide with the Connectathon this week!

Highlights:

• Forge for FHIR R5 Preview #2 (the connectathon version)
• Implementation Guides referring to specific packages
• Validation page remembers your content, for easy iterations

Full details: https://simplifier.net/organization/firely/news/87

We've just released Quality Control in Simplifier.net, which includes:

• Validation of a full FHIR project against the FHIR specification and profiles
• And validation against custom business rules, specified in FHIRPath

:check: Examples and more info here: https://fire.ly/2021/03/04/quality-control-how-to-validate-full-fhir-specifications-in-one-click
Addition of Quality Control to Firely Terminal and for GitHub Actions pipelines: soon.

Other new features:

• Tree-rendering of FHIR examples/instances
• Embedding of Simplifier.net Snippets
• Editing of FHIR package release notes
• Portal overview of all organization-level teams you are a part of
• Page Alert: A project-level banner (Manage > Settings > Page Alert)
• Rendering of markdown in resource descriptions

:fire: Firely Terminal 2.1 is out now! Install/update instructions

Major improvements

• Run Quality Control (FHIR validation + custom business/profiling rules validation) on the command line or in CI/CD pipeline
• Get nonzero exit codes when providing the --fail parameter, for all your pipeline logic (like on the validate, check (Quality Control) or snapshot generation commands)
• Powerful querying over FHIR resources with FQL
• Easier synchronization of your Simplifier.net projects with local folders
• Settings for loglevels (silent, brief, normal, detailed, debug)
• Resolving within subdirectories
