Details

Microsoft has published change logs detailing updates for a specific build (20190904-4) of fhir-server. Key additions include the $versions endpoint (#632), which enables clients to query the server's supported versions, and support for conditional create/update operations (#610). These enhancements improve data integrity and client compatibility. Other technical improvements involve adding Mediatr notifications for API responses and Cosmos DB operations (#618) and strengthening error handling for export requests (#596). Furthermore, security considerations were addressed by removing the caller IP address from default logging due to its classification as PII (#616).

These changes aim to enhance the robustness, usability, and security of the FHIR server.
