Features

Device API

The new Device API will enable desktop applications to securely connect to Halo Cloud with a different authentication workflow, which is based on the standard JWT protocol. This will enable integrators with desktop applications to avoid proxying all API requests through their cloud.

Improvements

Improvements to Halo GUID and hostname sync

Previously, it was possible for a practice's Halo GUID and hostname to be different in Halo Cloud and Halo Link's registry entries. This created two issues:

  • For Bp Premier, the Halo GUID in the registry at a practice may not be the Halo GUID assigned to that practice by Halo Cloud after server changes. This issue did not cause service disruptions but it did mean that the local Halo GUID would be different to the Halo GUID integrators should use for routing queries.
  • For Zedmed and D4W, server changes such as database additions, removals, or changes were not automatically detected. This required manual intervention to trigger Halo Link to detect the changes and resync with Halo Cloud. New or changed databases would not be available for querying until this manual step was completed, and removed databases would appear available though queries would fail.

This version includes an improvement which solves both of these issues, by ensuring that Halo Cloud and Halo Link resynchronise each time Halo Link starts up. This results in two behavioural changes:

  • For Bp Premier, practices may notice the Halo GUID in the Halo Link registry change after a restart. This is intended, though it should only happen after server changes.
  • For Zedmed and D4W, database changes should now be automatically detected on Link restart. New or updated databases will receive a new Halo GUID, which integrators will need to fetch.
