14.0 RC2
Notes
Custom code-based devices (C#, HL7 Tx v2, Transform device) now inspect your code for the [ClientRunnable(true)] attribute. New devices automatically have this attribute added (but set to false) because we've seen a few too many dangerous situations where you do not want your custom code executing on the client side, i.e. sending data / writing files / database records etc. during the configuration and testing phase. Your existing devices will need to have this attribute added if you want to let them run client-side.
The HL7 transform v2 device now requires quotes when adding string parameter values. This allows you to differentiate between null (which is a completely blank input), an empty string (""), a literal string (@"\r\n" -> \r\n) and standard string ("\r\n" -> CRLF). No changes are required to existing configurations - quotes will automatically be added.
In the HL7 transform V2 device, you can jump to the corresponding table / code by clicking the corresponding icon:
Alerts have been fixed in this release. Please ensure your system settings include a proper email target.
The authentication defect (CNXN-2282) has been fixed. Please upgrade to this version if your environment uses group-level authentication.
Integrator
We have released a specific version of Integrator which matches with this release. If you are testing/using integrator, please upgrade both Connexion and Integrator.
Integrator uses a new "Mongo Queue Device" available in the "Remote Integrator" category. This device currently targets the integrator only and is not expected to work in Connexion without prior configuration. You can create and edit your integrator channels using this queue device in Connexion per normal, it simply won't function as a queue within Connexion.
Breaking Changes
Please see the breaking changes list here: Connexion.Core Interface Changes.
Additionally, an error was found in the HL7Segment class. The Fields property returned an IList<HL7Field>, where it should be returning an HL7FieldCollection. Since HL7FieldCollection is-a IList<HL7Field>, this should not cause any functional problems.
New Features in this Release
Resolved | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Suggestion | System Device - It would be nice to be able to receive an error message if the diskspace drops below a certain level | |
Suggestion | Better notification of expiring connexion systems | |
Suggestion | Plugin Manager - Should show the fully qualified assembly name | |
Suggestion | Queue - Bulk Export to File - Need option to add Message Framing characters to wrap each message | |
Suggestion | Queue - Bulk Export to HL7Spy - Framing characters need to wrap each message so that they can be read by HL7Spy | |

Suggestion | Client - It would be nice if the client remembered the last tab/channel that was selected and brought that tab/channel back on client restart | |
Suggestion | HL7TransformDeviceV2 - Clicking on the Map Table in the transform list should bring up the Table for editing | |
Suggestion | HL7TransformDeviceV2 - TransformFuctions should treat string parameters as if they were escaped c# strings | |

Suggestion | Log when free disk space is less than 5 GB | |
Suggestion | Log an event when message(s) are purged from the queue. | |
Suggestion | File writer device doesn't expose any event hooks |
