Workaround

This validator corrects for a fix made in tx.fhir.org where xml, json, and ttl
are no longer erroneously considered to be valid mime type codes. These are considered
correct codes in the specification for versions R2-R5, but theyre not. This
is corrected in R6 - see FHIR-48679 (Issue with invalid MIME types).
As tx.fhir.org is now correctly saying they are not valid mime types,
this release of the validator contains special logic to treat them as
valid mime types for R2-R5.
This means that if you are validating either CapabilityStatements or TestScripts,
this validator is somewhat of a manatory upgrade, though you have another choice:
use the policy advisor framework to turn off validation of the relevant elements.
Note the policy regarding FHIR Validator upgrades can be found here:
https://confluence.hl7.org/spaces/FHIR/pages/35718580/Using+the+FHIR+Validator#UsingtheFHIRValidator-LimitationsofUse:

older versions of the validator may suddenly stop working due to forced upgrades to the various system and network infrastructure components that the validator depends on (typically due to security notifications).
For further discussion, see chat.fhir.org.

Announcement

This release marks the beginning of a process of refactoring the HAPI core code.
We are trimming and refactoring the core model code to reduce dependencies. As part
of this, we will be culling all the old unmaintained code in the older versions. In
addition, we will be moving all the terminology, rendering, view definition, and
validation related code to a new partner package for R4, R4B, and R5.
This change is planned for July 2025. This release starts the process of marking the
code with annotations to indicate its proposed fate:

• @deprecated classes will be deleted in July 2025 unless users raise issues with that
• @MarkedToMoveToAdjunctPackage is code that will move the other package
• Code with no annotations will not move or be deleted

Validator Changes

• Add HL7 CodeSystem display and definition checks
• Add Matchetype validator
• Add http://hl7.org/fhir/tools/StructureDefinition/snapshot-base-version to snapshot generation
• Optimize the JSON parsing in NpmPackageIndexBuilder.seeFile (#1898) (faster loading)
• Fix stack crash when structure definitions are circular
• Fix error reporting duplicate contained IDs when contained resources are sliced by a profile
• Allow cardinality changes in obligation profiles (but not recommended)
• Fix bug with wrongly processing -ips#(v) parameter
• Add underscore to regex to be able to use underscore in Bundle URLs

Other code changes

• Refactor FileUtilities and other Utilities classes
• fix element order in Element.forceElement()
• fix NPE in patient renderer
• Resource Factory updates for loading generated resources in IG publisher
• Fix intermittent thread issue in Date rendering
