Firely rebranding

Command line arguments

By popular request, Forge now supports opening profiles via the command line argument. You can specify one or more file paths on the command line (surrounded with quotes if necessary):

   Forge.exe [file] [file] [file] ...

During startup, Forge will try to open all the specified files one by one.

Other new features

  • Auto-generate slice names for complex extension child elements When you add a new child element to a complex extension, Forge will now automatically generates a unique slice name for the extension element (of the form "elemNNN"). Users are encouraged to update the generated default value to a more descriptive name.

  • Add validation for empty slice names According to FHIR, all slice elements, including complex extension child elements, must be assigned a slice name. Forge now validates required slice names and generates a warning when a required slice name is empty or missing.

  • Add validation for duplicate slice names According to FHIR, slice names of sibling elements must be unique. Forge now validates slice names of sibling slice elements and generates a warning in case of duplicate slice names.

FHIR API

Upgrade to FHIR API library for .NET version 0.95.0-alpha1.

Stability update that provides some bugfixes for the snapshot generator.
