Change Log

0.5.0 - September 2020

  • Upgrade to python-hl7 v0.4.0 * Trailing carriage return in Message now passed along per Message Construction

    Rules. Requires python-hl7 v0.4.0.

    • MSH.9.1.3 (“ACK”) added

  • Dropped support for Python 2.7 & 3.4. Python 3.5 - 3.8 now supported.

0.4.1 - July 2016

  • Added IHL7Receiver.getTimeout() interface method. Receivers can return an integer TCP connection idle timeout in seconds.

0.4.0 - June 2016

  • Ported to Python 3.4. Support for Python 2.6 dropped. Currently supported platforms are Python 2.7 & 3.4. API remains the same, mostly test changes to more explicitly indicate bytestrings vs unicode strings. Also needed to convert to use zope.interface’s @implementer() class advice instead of the implements().
  • Use tox as primary test runner.
  • Distribute Python wheel.

0.3.0 - November 2014

  • Renamed project from twisted-hl7 to txHL7, to be in line with twisted’s Community Code recommendations.

Warning

Please update your project to use the txHL7 import instead of twistedhl7 and replace “twisted-hl7” with “txHL7” in your setup.py or requirements.txt.

If you perform a pip uninstall twisted-hl7, ensure you do it before installing txHL7, since both packages use the twisted/plugins/mllp_plugin.py twisted plugin, otherwise the twisted-hl7 uninstall will remove txHL7’s version of the plugin.

0.2.2 - November 2014

  • Add a description to setup.py. Thanks Low Kian Seong <https://github.com/lowks>`_

0.2.1 - November 2014

0.2.0 - September 2014

  • Abstract message into a separate class that is responsible for building ACK. This makes txHL7 useable with other HL7 parsing frameworks. Requires a new IHL7Receiver.parseMessage() interface method.
  • Add message implementation based on python-hl7, using the new ACK functionality in 0.3.1
  • Upgrade to latest python-hl7, v0.3.1, for ACK creation

0.1.0 - August 2014

  • twistd plugin. Thanks to Andrew Wason
  • Upgrade to latest python-hl7, v0.3.0, for correct MSH indexing

Warning

python-hl7 v0.3.0 breaks backwards compatibility.

0.0.3 - March 2012

  • Convert to unicode. As soon as a message string is assembled, decode into unicode, using the codec specified by the implementation of IHL7Receiver.getCodec(). When writing an ACK, the message is re-encoded into that codec.

0.0.2 - September 2011

  • ACK^001 for acknowledging messages (adds python-hl7 dependency)
  • Add errBack for catching unhandled errors that responds with reject (AR) ACK.

0.0.1 - September 2011

  • Initial basic MLLP implementation
