The first release candidate of the LinuxForHealth FHIR Server (formerly the IBM FHIR Server).

This version of the LinuxForHealth FHIR Server supports HL7 FHIR versions 4.0.1 and 4.3.0.

This release introduces support for HL7 FHIR version 4.3 (sometimes called "R4B") and removes support for select 4.0 resource types that have been removed in the specification.

It also introduces experimental support for:

  1. the Citus distributed PostgreSQL backend for scale-out scenarios; and
  2. asynchronous search parameter indexing for improved ingestion performance

Both of these experimental features have important limitations to be aware of:

  1. Citus search limitations
  2. Async indexing impacts data consistency

The full release notes for this release candidate have been merged into the official 5.0.0 Release.
