# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
## v0.5.2 — 2026-03-22
### Fixes
- **Subcomponent separator** — Non-default sub-component separators (e.g., `$` in
MSH-2 `^~\$`) now preserved through typed round-trip. Previously hardcoded as `&`
in 15 composite type modules. Uses process-dictionary-scoped separator context
threaded from the Separator struct through segment parse/encode.
- **RGS typed parsing** — RGS segment now registered in typed parser (was defined
but not dispatched, so SIU messages returned raw tuples instead of structs)
- **ADT_A12** — ADT^A12 (Cancel Transfer) now correctly mapped to ADT_A12, not ADT_A09
- **Presence validation** — Renamed "structure validation" to "presence validation"
throughout docs to honestly describe what it does (no ordering/group/cardinality)
- **Docs accuracy** — Fixed DICOM PS3.x citation in message-structures.md (was wrong
standard), updated README coverage numbers to honest counts
## v0.5.1 — 2026-03-22
### Fixes
- **ORM_O01 / ORU_R01** — PID is now optional (patient group is optional per spec)
- **SIU_S12** — RGS required as resource group anchor; PID now optional; AIS optional
within the resource group
- **Primitive extra components** — Non-conformant input like `M^EXTRA` on primitive
fields now preserved through typed round-trip instead of being silently truncated
- **Canonical structure mappings** — Added ADT^A12 and SIU S18-S24 to match the
documented reference
## v0.5.0 — 2026-03-22
### Conformance Hardening
- **Extra fields preservation** — Typed segments now capture fields beyond the declared
count in `extra_fields`, preventing silent data loss on messages with trailing standard
fields (e.g. OBX-20 through OBX-25)
- **MSH-2 validation** — Reject malformed encoding characters: overlong (6+), field
separator collision, duplicate delimiters
- **CNN type** — Composite Number and Name without Authority (11 components, flat HD)
- **NDL type** — Name with Date and Location (11 components with CNN sub-components)
- **OBR fields 32-35** corrected from XCN to NDL per HL7 v2.5.1
- **NM lexical preservation** — `original` field preserves raw wire format (`+01.20`
round-trips as `+01.20`, not `1.2`)
- **DTM offset preservation** — Malformed timezone offsets preserved instead of silently
dropped
- **Message definition completeness** — Canonical structure mapping moved to single source
of truth in `MessageDefinition`
### Stats
44 type modules (36 composite + 8 primitive), 20 segments + ZXX, 1,620 tests, 0 failures
## v0.4.0 — 2026-03-22
### Ergonomics & Polish
- **`~h` sigil** — Compile-time validated HL7v2 path access (`~h"PID-5.1"`)
- **`fetch/2`** — Error-returning path access (`{:ok, value}` or `{:error, reason}`)
- **String.Chars protocol** — `to_string/1` on RawMessage, TypedMessage, and Message
- **Truncation character** — v2.7+ 5th encoding character support
- **Wildcard paths** — `OBX[*]-5` returns all OBX observation values, `PID-3[*]` returns
all repetitions
- **Copy mode** — `parse(text, copy: true)` prevents GC pressure on long-lived messages
- **Unknown segment handling** — ZXX pass-through for vendor Z-segments and unrecognized
standard segments
- **Benchmarks** — Parse/encode throughput benchmarks
### Fixes
- 4 rounds of analyst review fixes: honest scope claims, data correctness bugs, doc
accuracy, fetch/2 error semantics
### Stats
42 type modules, 20 segments + ZXX, 1,470 tests, 0 failures
## v0.3.0 — 2026-03-22
### Type Coverage Push
- **16 new composite types** — XCN, CP, MO, FC, JCC, CQ, EIP, DLD, DLN, ERL, MOC, PRL,
AUI plus others; 97% of segment fields now typed (up from ~60%)
- **Path-based access API** — `HL7v2.Access.get(msg, "PID-5.1")` for field/component/
repetition extraction
- **Message structure definitions** — 9 message types (ADT_A01-A04/A08, ORM_O01, ORU_R01,
SIU_S12, ACK) with required/optional segment rules
- **Property-based tests** — 25 StreamData properties for parser/encoder round-trip
- **Coverage** — 81% to 96%+ with 244 additional tests
- **ExDoc** — Module groups, getting-started guide, hex.pm package metadata
### Stats
42 type modules (34 composite + 8 primitive), 20 segments + ZXX, 1,132 tests, 0 failures
## v0.2.0 — 2026-03-22
### Feature-Complete MVP
- **20 typed segment structs** — MSH, EVN, PID, PV1, PV2, NK1, OBR, OBX, ORC, MSA, ERR,
NTE, AL1, DG1, IN1, SCH, AIS, GT1, FT1 via DRY behaviour macro; plus ZXX generic
Z-segment
- **Typed parser** — Raw message to typed segment struct conversion with OBX-5 VARIES
dispatch
- **Message builder** — `HL7v2.Message.new/3` with auto-populated MSH (timestamp, control
ID, version, processing ID)
- **ACK/NAK builder** — `HL7v2.ack/2` with sender/receiver swap
- **Validation engine** — Opt-in required-field and segment-presence checks
- **MLLP transport** — Ranch 2.x TCP listener, GenServer client, TLS/mTLS support
- **Telemetry** — Instrumented parse, encode, and MLLP operations
- **26 base type modules** — 12 primitives (ST, NM, SI, ID, IS, TX, FT, TN, DT, DTM, TS,
NR) + 14 composites (CX, XPN, XAD, XTN, CE, CWE, HD, PL, EI, MSG, PT, VID, CNE, XON,
FN, SAD, DR)
### Stats
26 type modules, 20 segments + ZXX, 319 tests, 0 failures
## v0.1.0 — 2026-03-22
### Initial Release — Core Parser
- **Separator parsing** — Field, component, repetition, escape, sub-component delimiters
from MSH
- **Escape/unescape** — Full HL7v2 escape sequence handling (`\F\`, `\S\`, `\R\`, `\E\`,
`\T\`, hex `\Xhh\`, `\Cxxyy\`, `\Mxxyyzz\`)
- **Raw parser** — Lossless message parsing with CR/LF/CRLF line-ending normalization
- **Encoder** — Wire-format serialization with iodata performance and trailing-empty
trimming
### Stats
Core foundation, 45 tests, 0 failures
