6.2.0 Release (March 2021) - Concrete domain authoring support and semantic update fix

This release adds authoring support for concepts using concrete domains including updates to the MRCM endpoints.

This release also includes an important fix to the semantic index update process. Before this fix fictitious transitive closure loops could appear in the semantic index after upgrading an extension, which caused inconsistent behaviour in hierarchy browsing and ECL results. The admin rebuild semantic index function can be used to heal existing indexes with this problem.

Breaking

The following minor breaking changes were made in this maintenance release.

  • Removed deprecated code-system 'migrate' function in favour of 'upgrade' function. The migrate function was never implemented completely and has been deprecated for over a year.

    • Add user global-roles to single branch response.
  • Admin commit-rollback function now automatically removes any code-system version created by the commit.
  • Authoring
    • New validate flag in concept save and update function. Provides the ability to combine Drools validation and save functions into a single API call for a cleaner design and slight performance improvement. New flag defaults to false so as not to break existing implementations.
    • Integrity check now includes attribute type concepts from concrete attributes.

Fixes

  • Fix semantic index update function:
    • Rebase/upgrade no longer causes fictitious semantic index loops.
    • Include conflicting manually merged concepts in semantic update.
  • Fix #207 ignore ECL characters in HTTP params for Tomcat 9.

    • Make classification save function fail gracefully when semantic loop found.
    • Better handling of language refset members to remove duplicates during branch merging.
    • Fix regression: classification changes not logged in traceability.
    • On extension upgrade duplicate component removal use effective time to pick latest inferred relationships rather than version control dates.

4.4.0 Release - 2019-10-11 - International Authoring platform using Snowstorm

Since 4.1.0 we have made many minor and patch releases during preparation for another Snowstorm milestone. I am very pleased to announce that we have now gone live with Snowstorm as the Terminology Server for the SNOMED International Edition Authoring Platform!

As usual we have also had plenty of engagement from the community with many questions, issues and pull requests coming through. Thank you.

Please note the new approach to importing and upgrading extensions. The Code System migrate function is now deprecated in favour of the new upgrade function. Code System branches should be created directly under MAIN rather than under a version branch. For example MAIN/SNOMEDCT-US. Using the upgrade function Snowstorm will rebase the Code System branch to the a specific point on the timeline of the parent branch where the requested version was created, without having to use release branches like MAIN/2019-07-31.

I hope you find this release useful and as always please just reach out or raise an issue if you have questions.

Features

  • New approach to upgrading extensions using Code System upgrade function. (Migrate function now deprecated).
    • This allows extensions to live directly under the main International Edition branch rather than under a version branch.
  • Concept attributes and axioms sorted in all hierarchies using International Authoring Team's preferred order for best readability.
  • Description search language filter.
  • Pull request #77 AWS ElasticSearch request signing.

4.1.0 Release - 2019-08-07 - Public API supporting the SNOMED browser

This major version includes the API for the SNOMED International public SNOMEDCT browser! The browser descriptions endpoint is now faster and includes the full set of aggregations and filters to support the browser search.

Another new feature is enhanced character matching for non-english languages. Diacritic characters which are considered as additional letters in the alphabet of a language can be added to configuration to have them indexed correctly for search. For example the Swedish language uses the characters 'å', 'ä' and 'ö' as additional letters in their alphabet, these letters are not just accented versions of 'a' and 'o'. Thank you to Daniel Karlsson for educating us about this and providing an initial proof of concept.

Thank you to everyone who asked questions and provided feedback during another great release.

Note: The old public browser API project "sct-snapshot-rest-api" has now been archived in favour of the Snowstorm terminology server.
