Dear community,
Alain and myself are pleased to announce that Orthanc 1.12.8 is now available!
This new version includes many changes that aren’t directly visible to end users but that will enable new use cases in plugins. In particular, the plugin SDK now allows developers to associate attachments with custom data, and to manage key-value stores and queues directly in the Orthanc database. A new version of the PostgreSQL plugin implementing these primitives will be released in the coming days.
The first plugin to benefit from these improvements will be the “advanced storage plugin”, which will supersede the current folder indexer plugin and which will soon be released. The new SDK primitives will also be used in the near future to store annotations on whole-slide images.
Here is the link to the full release notes, which also include a list of the various fixes. Version 25.6.2 of the official Windows installers and Docker images already ships with Orthanc 1.12.8.
Enjoy,
Sébastien-
