Bug fixes
Fix "Add" extension element toolbar button for complex extensions
In the previous release, Forge would generate a runtime exception when trying
to add a new element to a complex extension using the "Add" toolbar button.
The Add command has now been fixed.
Fix incomplete element expansion
In some circumstances, Forge would not fully expand all the child elements of a profile.
Specifically, Forge would not further expand any child elements of a nested BackBoneElement
(e.g. Careplan.activity.detail). This has now been fixed.
Improvements:
Implement support for Google Analytics
Hyperlinks to external websites (such as Simplifier, Profiling Academy and Firely website)
now provide custom query string parameters that specify the application name (Forge) and
version number to Google Analytics. These metrics allow us to improve our products and service.
We collect and aggregate only application-specific metrics.
The collected metrics do not identify you personally.
This release lets you pin canonical references when creating a package, locking each one to the exact version it resolved to so your packages stay reproducible. Simplifier honours the version in a reference when resolving, with two new quality-control rules to help you pin safely. On top of that, the platform has moved to .NET 10, alongside a set of UI improvements and bug fixes.
The 2026 Simplifier User Survey is now open, and we need your input. Tell us which tools and features drive real value in your FHIR workflow, and where the platform can do better. It only takes a few minutes, and your response shapes what we build next.
Use this new skill to combine Firely Terminal with your AI-driven workflows to give your agent real tools to perform FHIR validation and not just guess.
This latest Forge 2026.1.0 release introduces significant updates, focusing on advanced modeling capabilities, more robust validation, and improved package management to enhance your profiling workflow.
The latest Simplifier.net release revolves around safety and productivity. While we have implemented new measures behind the scenes to protect accounts, we introduce important innovations for professionals in metadata management, validation and user-friendliness. In this note we explain the improvements and outline what they mean for your FHIR projects.
New on Firely: a deep‑dive blog and whitepaper on how FHIR Obligations sharpen the long‑standing Must Support flag into explicit, actor‑specific, and machine‑readable conformance rules—moving interoperability from narrative intent to testable behavior in real‑world FHIR implementations.
You can now use the new Firely .NET Validator everywhere, simplify your canonical resolving and use the improved project editor. Interested in SSO? Reach out!
