BridgeLab 1.8.1

BridgeLab 1.8.1

HL7/FHIR editor for healthcare integration professionals.

A maintenance release for managed and hospital installations: IT gets
another switch, the app opens fewer doors by default, and the manual
works everywhere.

Fixed

• The manual opens with its content on every platform. Help →
  Manual (F1) opened its own window from a temporary in-memory address
  created by the main window; on Linux that window stayed empty. The
  manual is now a page of the app itself, loaded the same way on
  Windows, macOS and Linux, in your language and with your own keyboard
  shortcuts.

For IT departments

• Usage statistics can be forced off for a whole machine. They are
  already off unless a user turns them on; now an administrator can
  guarantee it with the environment variable
  BRIDGELAB_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1, or "disable_telemetry": true in the
  same policy.json used for the update check (%ProgramData%\BridgeLab\,
  /Library/Application Support/BridgeLab/, /etc/bridgelab/). Nothing
  is sent then, and Settings → Privacy shows the box locked with the
  reason.

Changed

• The MLLP listener listens on this computer only by default
  (127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0). Starting a listener no longer opens
  a port to the whole network. To receive a feed from another machine,
  click Accept connections from other machines (0.0.0.0) under Bind,
  or type an interface address; a hint under the field always says which
  of the two is in effect. If you receive feeds from other hosts, check
  this setting once after updating.

Security

• A content security policy for the app window. The window now loads
  only the app's own code, and may contact nothing on the internet but
  api.github.com for the new-version check. Licence activation and the
  opt-in statistics run in the native part of the app and are
  unaffected. The website FAQ "Does BridgeLab connect to the internet?"
  lists every connection the app makes on its own.

Upgrading

Nothing to do, apart from the listener note above if you receive feeds
from other machines. Your data, settings and licence are untouched.

Downloads

See the assets below for installers for Windows, macOS (Intel and Apple
Silicon), Linux, and the bridgelab-cli binaries.
