Official announcements about events and product releases, alerts and statements from InterSystems Corporation authorities.
An updated developer preview of InterSystems IRIS 2024.2 and InterSystems IRIS for Health 2024.2 has been posted to the WRC developer preview site. This release contains a few noteworthy changes:
When IRIS 2023.2 reaches general availability, we’ll be making some improvements to how we tag and distribute IRIS & IRIS for Health containers.
IRIS containers have been tagged using the full build number format, for example 2023.1.0.235.1. Customers have been asking for more stable tags, so they don’t need to change their dockerfiles/Kubernetes files every time a new release is made. With that in mind, we’re making the following changes to how we tag container images.
InterSystems has corrected an issue that can cause a small number of SQL queries to return incorrect results. See below for the specifics on impacted queries.
This issue exists in the listed versions of the following products:
