This release represents a complete overhaul of the internal IBM FHIR Server component that was used within IBM Watson Health, including:

• high-performance JSON and XML parsers and generators for readings and writing FHIR objects
• a high-performance FHIRPath engine that operates directly over the model and supports both instance validation and search parameter extraction
• an updated JDBC schema and database utilities for deploying a Db2 multi-tenant schema in under 2 minutes
• numerous changes to support a combined score of 98% compliance on the AEGIS Touchstone Basic and Advanced test suites
• significant cleanup and refactoring to reduce the surface area of the server implementation
