SocketReader ver 1.2.3 released

Sebastian Weigmann — Sun, 08 Sep 2013 18:35:55 -0000

Dear Community,

in this release, a bug has been fixed where FileReader threads would stop reading new messages from files after they hit a "Permission Denied" error. Now, FileReader threads will try again in the next cycle, until the file was successfully read. Only queues affiliated to a stalled FileReader thread were affected by this bug. All other threads and queues still worked as intended.

Please support us and our project by critizising, testing, reporting bugs and donating!

Thank you,
The socketReader Project Team

SocketReader ver 1.2.2 released

Sebastian Weigmann — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 21:12:01 -0000

Dear Community,

in this release, a bug has been fixed where, when both "ignorenacks" and "nacksonly" were set to True, an incoming NAK was written to the file system twice. If you do not use any debug options, this release has no effect on your installations.

Unit tests have been added to aid in testing socketReader. If you are interested, you are very welcome to write and submit additional tests.

Sincerely yours,
The socketReader Project Team

SocketReader ver 1.2.1 released

Sebastian Weigmann — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 22:34:17 -0000

Dear Community,

the last release lacked of some vital functionality when making use of the new debug options. This bug has been fixed.

A new debug option "ignorenacks" is available for the Hl7Transmitter connector. When set to True, socketReader will, upon receiving a NAK, silently discard the NAKed message and continue with sending the next message in queue. When set to False, socketReader will resend the NAKed message until an ACK will be received for it.

If you like to report a bug, contribute, comment or suggest, please send an email or drop a ticket.

Sincerely yours,
The socketReader Project Team

SocketReader ver 1.2.0 released

Sebastian Weigmann — Sat, 29 Jun 2013 19:59:28 -0000

Dear Community,

this new version of SocketReader includes new options to activate / deactivate the use of acknowledgments as well as several debug options to help with network integration. Also, a bugfix is included which fixes a nasty fault making SocketReader use up all available file handles when it has run for an extended time. For older versions, a restart fixes the situation.

If you like to report a bug, contribute, comment or suggest, please send an email or drop a ticket.

SocketReader ver 1.0.4 released

Sebastian Weigmann — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 11:32:06 -0000

Dear Community,

a new version of socketReader is out.

SocketReader 1.0.4 is the first version including distinct versions for 32Bit and 64Bit operating systems. You will find both versions within the release packages for your OS. This will mostly benefit the Linux community which now can use an all-in-one executable file for 64Bit Linux systems.

Code changes include a minor bug fix regarding unreliable shutdown in some circumstances.

SocketReader 1.0.4 binaries were successfully tested on these operating syetems:

Windows 7 64Bit
Windows XP 32Bit
Debian Linux Squeeze 64Bit and 32Bit
Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS 64Bit and 32Bit

Special thanks go to Rich Erlichman for his extensive testing.

The Linux binaries were built against Debian Linux Squeeze i386 and x68_64 architectures. They are expected to work on other *nix distributions as well if they run on i386 or x86_64 architectures and use packages with the same or newer versions than Debian Linux Squeeze.

To run the source code version on *nix systems, you need Python 2.7.3 with the sqlite3 and configparser packages installed on your system. Running the source code on Windows needs the Windows version of Python 2.7.3 installed, along with the matching release of pywin32.

If SocketReader is useful to you, please consider to support this project by making a donation.

Sincerely yours,
The socketReader Project Team

SocketReader ver 1.0.3 released

Sebastian Weigmann — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:10:49 -0000

Dear Community,

this release fixes a bug which manifested when fixing up messages.

BUGFIX: When transmitting via socket HL7 messages which do not have the fields MSH-15 and MSH-16, socketReader would partially crash upon writing values to them. This nasty bug has been fixed.

Sincerely yours,
The socketReader Project Team

socketReader and MS Windows 64Bit

Sebastian Weigmann — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 09:19:40 -0000

Dear Community,

today, I was advised that the socketReaderService.exe would not run on MS Windows 7 64Bit. This is probably due to the pywin32 add-on I used to interface with the Windows Service API. The command line socketReader.exe seems to run fine, but it does not use the Windows Service API.

For the time being, I have no means to repackage and test socketReader for 64Bit Windows. Please use Linux or Unix instead or fall back to Windows 32Bit installations.

Please be advised, that socketReader is NOT TESTED for use on 64Bit Windows operating systems.

Sincerely,
The socketReader dev team.

Sebastian Weigmann — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:18:23 -0000

Dear Community,

with this release, we fix a nasty bug which has been present since the very first release of socketReader:

BUGFIX: HL7-ACKs were not labelled as ACKs in MSH-9. This has been fixed.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Sincerly yours,
The socketReader Project Team

SocketReader ver 0.4.0 released

Sebastian Weigmann — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:25:33 -0000

Dear Community,

the socketReader Project Team proudly announces the release of socketReader 0.4.0 (beta). With this release, a major milestone on the road to our first gold release has been reached.

This release features customizable message routing between the supported connectors. This means users can configure socketReader to receive messages from socket and write them to the file system -- and vice versa! On top of that, m:n routing is supported, meaning that multiple message sources can have their data delivered to multiple destinations. Many such communication paths can be configured and be used in parallel now by only one instance of socketReader.

Please take the time and leave us some feedback at:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=316605&atid=2080710

If you encounteted a bug, we will be more than happy if you tell us about it. Please submit your bug reports to:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=316605&atid=1331725

We hope you enjoy this new release as much as we enjoyed developing and testing it.

Sincerly,
Your socketReader Project Team
