First Release Candidate for 1.2.0

General remarks:

• This is a pre-release for DSF 1.2.0 do not use in production.
• DSF v1.2.0-RC1 is not compatible with DSF Ping Pong v1.0.0.0, upgrade the Ping Pong plugin to v1.0.1.0-RC1.

Features:

• The BPE server config parameter dev.dsf.bpe.fhir.server.organization.identifier.value (environment variable DEV_DSF_BPE_FHIR_SERVER_ORGANIZATION_IDENTIFIER_VALUE) was not needed and has been removed.
• Start and continue events for processes are now executed on a separate thread pool enabling concurrent execution of processes using "non async" process tasks.
• The special java StatusClient used for docker health checks has been replaced with curl.
• A new environment variable SERVER_CONTEXT_PATH was added to the reverse proxy docker image. The new environment variable can be used to configure the reverse-proxy path that gets delegated to the DSF FHIR app server.
• The FHIR server config parameter dev.dsf.fhir.server.roleConfig (environment variable DEV_DSF_FHIR_SERVER_ROLECONFIG is now optional and the validation of the config YAML has been improved.
• Java dependency have been upgraded where possible.

Bug Fixes:

• Literal block scalars can now be used with the environment variable DEV_DSF_PROXY_NOPROXY.
• The websocket connection to the DSF FHIR server no longer disconnects if long-running "non async" process tasks are executed. By handing over incoming Task and QuenstionnaireResponse resources to a separate thread-pool, the websocket client thread is immediately freed and able respond to websocket ping-frames keeping the connection from timing out.

Known Compatible Process Plugins:

• DSF Allow List v1.0.0.0
• DSF Ping Pong v1.0.1.0-RC1

1.1.0 - UI and Other Improvements

General remarks:

• This is an update for the new 1.0.0 DSF and not compatible with 0.9.x and older version developed at highmed/highmed-dsf.
• To Update an existing 1.0.0 installation, please see the 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0 Upgrade Guide.
• For a fresh deployment, follow the installation instructions.

Features:

• Changes to the DSF FHIR server user interface (UI): While instantiating Task resources via the UI, input elements with cardinality 0..* or 1..* can now be added/removed dynamically. Placeholder attributes of input elements can be copied into the value attribute using a button. The user interface now supports dark and light themes selected based on operating system preferences or user selection. New UIs have been added for Task and QuestionnaireResponse search-bundle results.
• Search parameters can now beused more than once to perform AND queries. Descriptions for the history _at and _since parameters was added to the capability statement (/metadata) and help UIs.
• The unique criteria of the OrganizationAffiliation authorization rule was reworked. Different endpoint can now be configured for different roles of a member organization within a parent organization.
• For easier debugging, a custom User-Agent Header (DSF/${version}) is now send by the DSF webservice and websocket clients.
• The access log pattern of the DSF FHIR reverse-proxy now includes the user-agent header and client certificate subject DN string. An environment variable to configure the mod_ssl parameter SSLVerifyClient has been added to the DSF FHIR reverse-proxy. This environment variable can be used to make client certificate non mandatory in order to used local OIDC authentication.
• Java dependency have been upgraded where possible.

Bug Fixes:

• Input elements are now always shown within the Task user interface of the DSF FHIR server.
• Process Plugin API: The Implementation of the OrganizationProvider.getOrganization(Identifier) method was fixed and now returns the correct results.
• Process Plugin Loader: A check for the existence of a NamingSystem version property was removed since NamingSystem resources in FHIR R4 do not support the version property.

Known Compatible Process Plugins:

• DSF Allow List v1.0.0.0
• DSF Ping Pong v1.0.0.0
• MII Feasibility v1.0.0.0

1.0.0 - Major Release

General remarks:

• This is a major DSF release not compatible with 0.9.x and older version developed at https://github.com/highmed/highmed-dsf

Features:

• OpenID Connect authentication for local users is now available for the FHIR server, which is acting as an OIDC client authenticating users for the HTML frontend via Authorization Code Flow.
• OAuth Bearer Token Authentication supports clients in directly interacting with the FHIR rest webservice.
• Authorization extensions were added to ActivityDefinition resources which allow plugins to configure execution of processes for users.
• The FHIR _summary parameter is available as defined by the specification.
• The DSF FHIR docker image contains a default "external" bundle.xml file to create the local Organization and Endpoint resources and therefore no longer needs to be mounted via a docker-volume.
• The process plugin API has been redesigned. Process plugins are now build for a specific API version that will be supported across future DSF versions.
• A new HTML view allows starting processes via Task resources with status draft.
• The authorization rule for draft Task resources was modified to allow creation of Tasks even if the Task would not be allowed to be executed.
• A business-key input parameter is automatically added via DSF BPE server TaskHandler if not set by user, so that executed processes can be traced better.
• Two new organization-roles are now available: DTS, UAC.
• The helper classes for Task and QuestionnaireResponse resources have been adapted to the new process plugin API.
• The documentation generator can now be used as a maven plugin using compile-time only annotations.
• The code base has been migrated to Java 17 and uses the new dsf.dev namespace.
• The Jetty config properties are now aligned with all other existing dev.dsf... properties.
• A common forward proxy server config with config parameters for: url, username, password and a no-proxy list is available and can be accessed via the process plugin API.
• The database migration steps have been streamlined as much as possible because there is no backwards
  compatibility with 0.9.x and older versions.
• Maven modules are now released via maven central.
• Self hosted runners are now provided to circumvent RAM and CPU shortages in GitHub hosted runners.

Removed:

• It is no longer possible to define dependencies between processes.
• It is no longer possible to deploy processes as folders.
• FHIR Metadata resources, profiles and authorization rules only needed for HiGHmed processes have been removed.
• Modules that are not considered as core modules of the DSF but are process specific have been removed: dsf-consent, dsf-mpi, dsf-openehr, dsf-pseudonymization, dsf-bpe-webservice-client
• The deprecated organization-type CodeSystem and ValueSet have been removed.
• The plugin folder has beed hidden from standard deployments. Processes should be released as fat-jars containing the "old" plugins.
• The VM-based test-setup has been removed in favor of the docker-based test-setup.
