Roadmap

Mirth Connect 2.0
  • Channel hot-deploy – Adds the ability to make changes to individual channels/interfaces and re-deploy them without affecting the entire configuration and deploying all channels. This is especially useful for modifying channels after they are already in production.
  • Rewritten Web Service/SOAP Connector and HTTP Connector – Better envelope generation and more features.
  • Component updates – Update underlying libraries and technologies that Mirth Connect uses. Java 1.6+ will now be a requirement of Mirth Connect. Performance will be better and more stable than ever.
Mirth Connect 2.1
  • User Roles – The ability to assign specific privileges to a user or group of users in Mirth Connect. Some possible roles might be read-only (only seeing messages and deployed channels), operator (read-only with the ability to start/stop a channel and reprocess a message), developer (can create and modify channels, but not users or settings), and administrator (no restrictions).
  • Auditing – In addition to user roles, a more advanced auditing system will be included with audit trails of individual users.
  • Statistics and message history reporting – Report generation for statistics, including time based metrics about message history for the Mirth Connect Server, individual channels, and individual connectors.
  • Document reporting – Report generation for specifications about a specific interface in Mirth Connect. This will help in generating document specifications for interfaces created in Mirth Connect.
  • Profile based message validation – Allow automatic validation of messages based on a specific profile or message specification such as HL7v2.5.
  • Advanced Alerting – The ability to do state and metrics based monitoring globally or by channel. For more information, see Improving Mirth Connect Alerts: Request for Feedback.
