Changelog

v1.0.59 June 10, 2026

Send Profiles & Conditional Unique Values

added Save connection profiles in the Send window — pick a saved profile instead of retyping the host, port, and timeout every time.

added Send profiles can be edited and deleted, and the profile you used last is selected automatically the next time you open the Send window.

added Show unique values for a field restricted by a condition on another field — for example, list the unique OBX-3 observation types only where OBX-6 (units) is "mL".

added The "Show Only Checked" and "Exclude Checked" buttons in the unique-values list honor an active condition, so the resulting filter matches on the same segment line.

added New "Show where field exists" right-click option — quickly narrow to just the messages where a chosen field has a value.

improved Filtering to selected values from the unique-values list now appears as a single, clear filter chip you can remove in one click.

v1.0.58 June 3, 2026

Message Editing, Session Restore & Refreshed Help

added Edit messages in place: right-click a field or segment in the HL7 Message, Tree, or Table view to duplicate, delete, or add one.

added Adding a field opens a dialog with a separate, clearly labeled box for each component — named for the field and the message's HL7 version.

added HL7 Pulse now reopens the files you had open when you last closed it, automatically on the next launch. You can turn this off in Settings -> Display Options.

improved Reopening your last session is fast — files are restored from the previous session instead of being re-imported, and your in-session edits are preserved.

improved The in-app Help (press F1) has been thoroughly rewritten and expanded, including a full guide to the Interface Planner, and corrected to match the current app.

improved The Help window has a cleaner, more professional layout that is easier to read in both light and dark themes.

improved Smoother startup animation.

v1.0.57 June 1, 2026

Live Transfer Speed & Filter Tweaks

added Live network speed is now shown in the Send window while transmitting HL7 messages, so you can see the current transfer rate as messages go out.

added Live network speed is now shown in the Receive window while listening for incoming HL7 messages.

added When a filter or search is active, the message count now shows what share of all messages match (for example, "99% of total transactions").

added Right-click an active filter to copy its value to the clipboard, so you can quickly reuse it in another tab's search or field filter.

improved The status-bar network speed indicator now reflects HL7 messages sent and received over the network, not just remote file transfers.

improved AI spec extraction in the Interface Planner starts faster by removing a short startup delay before each run.

Smoother Tabs & Imports

improved Interface Planner: AI-powered features now connect through a more secure proxy at hl7pulse.com instead of fetching API credentials to the client. Includes stricter per-account usage limits to keep the service available for everyone.

Interface Planner — Smarter Mapping & Hybrid Extraction

added Interface Planner: hybrid spec extraction — a deterministic rule-based pass reads the field structure (paths, names, optionality, event-type scoping) from your spec document, then a focused AI call adds only the value sets and notes. Faster, more accurate, and correctly scoped per event type (no more ORM-only fields like OBR/OBX/ORC appearing in ADT analyses)

added Interface Planner: every field row on the Results & Report view now shows its mapping rule on the right — Conditional Loop Mapping (orange ↻ — loop through the field's repetitions), Conditional Transaction Mapping (purple ⇉ — only forward values that the destination accepts), or One-to-One Mapping (green → — direct copy). Same callouts now appear in the PDF report so the printed spec doc reads as a complete mapping reference

added Interface Planner: "Mapping Conditions" summary panel at the top of Results & Report lists every conditional rule across the plan in one place, grouped by event type. Updates live when you toggle ID Type checkboxes

added Interface Planner: ID Type Code checkboxes on CX/XCN fields (PID-3, PV1-7, ORC-12, OBR-16, ROL-4, etc.) — tick EMPI/MRN/NPI/PROVID/LLDOC/etc. to define which repetition gets mapped; the rule appears live on the data row's right pane and is saved across plan reloads and re-analyze runs

added Interface Planner: per-sub-component breakdown for CX/XCN fields — when the spec says PID-3, you now see PID-3.1 (ID number), PID-3.4 (Assigning Authority), and PID-3.5 (Identifier Type Code) as separate rows. Filter checkboxes appear only on the discriminator sub-components (.4 / .5 for CX; .9 / .13 for XCN); the rule lands on the data row (.1)

added Interface Planner: "Re-Extract Spec" button on Step 2 lets you re-run extraction against an existing plan without starting over. Your event-type connection names and interface name are preserved

added Interface Planner: discreet "Experimental feature — still in development" notice on the planner's landing screen so users know the tool is under active development; hover for a feedback prompt

improved Field-filter scan progress bar now smoothly animates between updates instead of snapping between large jumps

improved Interface Planner: the "Next" button is disabled while extraction or analysis is running so you can't advance to the next step with a half-populated field list

improved Interface Planner: ID Type Codes are now extracted for every CX/XCN spec field — even single-instance ones like a sole PV1-7 attending doctor — instead of being silently dropped when the source had only one repetition

improved Interface Planner: the spec extractor handles every common HL7 path notation — dots, dashes, underscores, or any mix (PID.3.1, PID-3.1, PID-3-1, PID_3_1, PID_3-1) — and recognizes digit-suffix segments (IN1, PV1, PD1, AL1) as one token

improved Interface Planner: segment-level spec rows like "IN1 Insurance R For ADT^A08 messages" or "GT1 Guarantor O" are now picked up by the extractor — previously these were silently skipped because they had no field index

v1.0.54 May 19, 2026

Smarter Advanced Search & Steadier Progress

added Advanced Search phrases are now highlighted in the raw HL7 message viewer, with a different color for each search group — matching the regular search experience

improved Advanced Search with Field = "(Any Field)" now matches your value against every field in the segment (and its components/subcomponents) — for example, searching MSH for "A03" finds messages where A03 is the trigger event in MSH-9.2

improved Progress overlay shows the message count below the bar instead of inline in the title, so the title no longer jitters as the count grows — and the count keeps smoothly ticking while "Preparing messages for searching" runs

fixed Various bug fixes and stability improvements

v1.0.53 May 18, 2026

Faster Indexing & Smarter Progress

added Predictive progress bar during "Preparing messages for searching" — instead of sitting still between updates, the bar now smoothly slides forward to hint where the next jump will land

added Ctrl+A pressed anywhere on a document tab (messages grid, parsed tree, table) now selects the entire raw HL7 message, ready for right-click → Copy

improved "Preparing messages for searching" finishes significantly faster, especially on large imports

improved Importing large HL7 files is noticeably faster overall

v1.0.52 May 8, 2026

Custom Field Columns & Multi-Select Copy

added Custom field columns in the messages list — click "+ Column" to pick any HL7 field present in your messages and show its value as a column. Right-click the column header to remove it.

added New "Time" column shows when each message was sent (MSH-7), formatted as a friendly date and time

added Hold Shift or Ctrl to select multiple messages, then right-click → Copy to copy them all at once

improved HL7 Notation analysis now shows a real progress bar with a Cancel button instead of an indeterminate spinner
