Hi Everyone,

Today marks a big milestone for HAPI, with the release of version 2.0 of
both the HAPI Java API and the HAPI TestPanel (well, technically it was
yesterday, but we had some issues with syncing this release to the central
Maven repo).

The new release comes packed with tons of bugfixes, plenty of new features,
and improvements. See the
Changelog<http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/changes-report.html>for
information on everything that is new in the API, and the TestPanel
Changelog <http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/hapi-testpanel/changes-report.html>for
changes there.

One thing to note: Migrating to the new version of the Java API should be
very straightforward, but there is one notable difference to watch out for:
As of version 2.0 the logging abstraction layer has changes from
commons-logging to SLF4J <http://www.slf4j.org/>, so you will need to
include the SLf4J API JAR on your classpath. You will probably want to
include an adaptor to an underlying logging framework as well. Maven users
can copy the updated POM dependency snippets from
here<http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/using_maven.html>.
Non-Maven users will find the new requirements in the "hapi-all" bundle on
the Download <https://sourceforge.net/projects/hl7api/files/hl7api/2.0/>area.

Thanks to everyone who contributed! In particular, this release features a
huge set of contributions from Christian Ohr, who cleaned up a lot of old
codebase, modernized the SimpleServer, and replaced the logging framework.
We also had all kinds of useful contributions from all over the world over
the last year. It's great to see how the HAPI community continues to gain
traction after a decade!

Cheers,

James
