# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

## v2.1.2 — 2026-03-26

### Fixes

- **DT/DTM invalid value preservation** — invalid dates (e.g., `20240230`, `20250229`)
  and malformed DTM values are now preserved in an `original` field instead of silently
  dropping to nil. Prevents clinical data loss on dirty feeds during typed round-trip.

## v2.1.1 — 2026-03-26

### Fixes

- **Strict repetition validation** — non-repeatable fields with illegal repetitions
  (e.g., `M~F` on PID-8) are now caught in strict mode as errors and in lenient
  mode as warnings. Previously silently accepted.

## v2.1.0 — 2026-03-26

### Full v2.5.1 Segment Catalog

- **16 new segments**: ABS, AFF, BTX, EQL, ERQ, NCK, NDS, NSC, NST, ODS, ODT,
  PRC, QRI, RMI, SPR, VTQ — completing the official v2.5.1 segment index
- **152/152 v2.5.1 segments** in catalog, all typed (115 fully, 37 partial)
- **89/89 v2.5.1 data types** implemented
- SCD/SDD marked as v2.6 extensions
- Fixed unused alias warning in DLT type

## v2.0.0 — 2026-03-25

### Full Standard Coverage

- **84 new segments** — all remaining v2.5.1 standard segments
- **35 new data types** — all remaining v2.5.1 data types
- **66 raw holes filled** across 13 segments
- Segment coverage: 136/136 → 152/152 (after v2.1.0 corrections)
- Type coverage: 89/89 (100%)

## v1.4.6 — 2026-03-25

### Fixes

- **Nested composite validation** — `semantic_blank?` now recurses into nested
  structs. `[%XPN{family_name: %FN{}}]` is correctly detected as blank for
  required-field checks.
- **Strict mode unsupported structures** — `validate(msg, mode: :strict)` now
  returns errors (not warnings) for unsupported message structures.

## v1.4.5 — 2026-03-24

### Fixes

- **Escape.decode/2 crash** — malformed hex escapes (`\XGG\`, `\X4Z\`) no longer
  raise `FunctionClauseError`; invalid hex bytes gracefully terminate decoding
- **parse(validate: true) warnings** — now returns `{:ok, msg, warnings}` when
  validation produces only warnings (was silently discarding them as `{:ok, msg}`)
- **Empty string required fields** — `""` on required fields now caught by validation
  (was passing as non-blank)
- **MLLP connection stop reason** — telemetry now carries actual reason (`:closed`,
  `:timeout`, `:message_too_large`, `{:error, reason}`) instead of always `:normal`
- **Getting-started guide** — install `~> 1.4`, fixed `CX` field name (`id` not `id_number`)
- **README TLS example** — uses `HL7v2.MLLP.TLS.mutual_tls_options/1`
- **OBX moduledoc** — removed stale claim that ED/SN/RP are raw (they're typed)
- **PRD** — marked as historical

## v1.4.4 — 2026-03-24

### Fixes

- **ADT structure definitions** — 8 structures corrected against v2.5.1 spec:
  A09, A12, A15, A16, A21, A24, A37, A38 had incorrect NTE (removed) and
  missing OBX/DG1 (added). Structural validation now matches the standard.
- **Coverage metrics** — `mix hl7v2.coverage` now shows fully typed vs partially
  typed segment split. `--detail` flag shows per-segment field completeness.
- **Builder moduledoc** — clarified as low-level constructor (does not validate)

## v1.4.3 — 2026-03-24

### Fixes

- **Structural validator strictness** — unknown non-Z segments are no longer silently
  consumed during matching. They now stop the matcher and are flagged as leftover
  warnings (e.g., ACC in an ACK message is now caught).
- **ADT_A02** — added OBX and PDA per v2.5.1 spec (were missing)
- **ADT_A03** — added NK1, VISIT group, AL1, GT1, INSURANCE group, ACC, PDA
  per v2.5.1 spec (was incomplete)
- **Canonical aliases** — added A29, A32, A33 → ADT_A21 (were falling through)
- **Conformance roadmap** — updated to current state

## v1.4.2 — 2026-03-23

### MLLP Hardening

- **`max_message_size` option** — configurable buffer limit for both MLLP
  server connections and client recv loops (default: 10 MB). Connections
  exceeding the limit are closed with telemetry and logging. Protects against
  memory exhaustion from misbehaving or malicious senders.
- **`handler_timeout` option** — configurable timeout for handler execution
  (default: 60 s). Handlers that exceed the deadline are killed via
  `spawn_monitor`/`Process.exit(:kill)`; the connection continues accepting
  new messages. Telemetry event emitted on timeout.

### Property Testing

- Added delimiter-aware generators (`gen_hl7_field/0` family) that produce
  fields with repetitions (`~`), components (`^`), and sub-components (`&`).
  Two new property tests verify round-trip idempotency for structured messages
  and individual structured fields.

### Documentation

- **Escape sequence behavior** documented in `TypedMessage` moduledoc and
  README Scope section: typed field values preserve HL7 escape sequences
  literally; users must call `HL7v2.Escape.decode/2` explicitly.

### Stats

2,383 tests (303 doctests + 32 properties + 2,048 tests), 0 failures

## v1.4.1 — 2026-03-23

### Fixes

- **Raw parser/encoder round-trip data corruption** — fields with mixed-structure
  repetitions (e.g., `a~b^c`) were silently corrupted: the encoder misidentified
  repetitions as components, encoding `a~b^c` as `a^b&c`. The parser now normalizes
  each repetition to a list, making the representation unambiguous. This also fixes
  the same ambiguity in the typed parser (mixed repetitions were collapsed into a
  single garbled composite value).
- **`HL7v2.type/1`** — now returns `{:ok, typed}` instead of raising `MatchError`
  on conversion failure. Aligns with the library's error-tuple convention.
- **README/CHANGELOG accuracy** — stale segment counts, stale ROL example (was shown
  as raw tuple but is typed since v1.2.0), missing changelog entries, UB1/UB2
  disclosure (mostly raw shells).

### Stats

2,376 tests (303 doctests + 30 properties + 2,043 tests), 0 failures

## v1.4.0 — 2026-03-23

### Pharmacy, Documents & Adverse Reactions

- **9 new segments**: RXO (Order, 25 fields), RXE (Encoded Order, 44 fields),
  RXD (Dispense, 33 fields), RXA (Administration, 26 fields), RXR (Route, 6 fields),

  Dispense), MDM_T02 (Document Notification and Content)
- **Segment coverage**: 52/136 (38.2%, up from 31.6%)

### Fixes

- **Atom leak in structural validator** — segment IDs from untrusted input were
  converted to atoms via `String.to_atom/1`. Now uses string-based MapSet comparison.
- **Strict mode field cardinality** — field cardinality overflow escalated to `:error`
  in strict mode (was always `:warning` regardless of mode).

## v1.1.0 — 2026-03-23

### Positional Structural Validation

- **Rewritten structural validator** — state-machine-style positional matcher that walks
  the segment stream against the structure AST. Replaces flat deduplicated checks.
  - Handles segments in multiple groups (ROL in PATIENT, VISIT, PROCEDURE, INSURANCE)
  - Validates repeating groups per-occurrence (A39 PATIENT requires PID+MRG each time)
  - Ordering enforced naturally by sequential walk
- **ADT_A01**: Added OBSERVATION group (OBX+NTE) per HL7 v2.5.1
- **ORU_R01**: Added SPECIMEN group (SPM+OBX+NTE) per HL7 v2.5.1
- **Type catalog**: Added 5 missing v2.5.1 types (CD, DLT, DTN, ICD, MOP) — 89 total
- **Type coverage**: 48/89 (53.9%, corrected from inflated 57.1%)
- 10 new structural validation tests

### Stats

## v1.0.0 — 2026-03-23

### M6: Conformance Platform

- **HL7 table validation** — 20 coded-value tables from HL7 v2.5.1 (administrative sex,
  patient class, message type, processing ID, acknowledgment codes, observation status,
  value types, identifier types, and more). Opt-in via `validate(msg, validate_tables: true)`.
- **Table-aware field validation** — 11 coded fields checked against their HL7 tables:
  MSH-9.1, MSH-11.1, MSH-12.1, MSH-15, MSH-16, PID-8, PV1-2, PV1-4, MSA-1, OBX-2, OBX-11
- **Tables API** — `HL7v2.Standard.Tables.valid?(table_id, code)`, `validate/2`, `get/1`
- 26 new table validation tests

### Stats

  ACC (Accident)
- **Segment coverage**: 29/136 standard segments (21.3%, up from 15.4%)
- **647 declared fields** across typed segments
- All segments referenced in ADT/ORU/SIU message structure definitions are now
  typed (except ROL, DRG, IN2, IN3 which are lower priority)

## v0.8.0 — 2026-03-23

### M4: Datatype Expansion

- **TQ type** — Timing/Quantity (12 components) — closes raw holes in OBR-27, ORC-7, SCH-11
- **ELD type** — Error Location and Description (4 components) — closes raw hole in ERR-1
- **SPS type** — Specimen Source (7 components) — closes raw hole in OBR-15
- **TM type** — Time primitive (HH[MM[SS[.SSSS]]][+/-ZZZZ]) — added to OBX-5 dispatch
- **Raw holes**: 6 → 1 (only OBX-5 remains, by design — uses dispatch)
- **Type coverage**: 48/84 standard types (57.1%, up from 52.4%)
- 56 new tests + 25 new doctests

### Stats

1,795 tests (266 doctests + 30 properties + 1,499 tests), 0 failures

## v0.7.0 — 2026-03-22

### M3: Structural Validation

- **Structural validator** — `HL7v2.Validation.Structural` checks segment ordering,
  group anchors, and cardinality against group-aware message structure definitions.
  Replaces presence-only validation for all 20 supported message structures.
- **Strict/lenient modes** — `HL7v2.validate(msg, mode: :strict)` treats ordering and
  cardinality violations as errors. Default `:lenient` mode reports them as warnings.
- **Order checking** — Detects when segments appear in wrong order relative to the
  abstract message definition (e.g., OBX before OBR in ORU_R01)
- **Cardinality checking** — Flags non-repeating segments that appear multiple times
- **28 structural tests** — Positive and negative cases for ADT_A01, ORU_R01, ORM_O01,
  SIU_S12, ACK, ADT_A39 including missing anchors, wrong order, duplicates, Z-segments

### Stats

1,700 tests (241 doctests + 30 properties + 1,429 tests), 0 failures

## v0.6.0 — 2026-03-22

### M2: Standard Model

- **HL7v2.Standard** — Single source of truth for HL7 v2.5.1 metadata: segment catalog
  (~136 entries), type catalog (~84 entries), capability tiers (`:typed` / `:unsupported`)
- **MessageStructure** — Group-aware abstract message definitions for 20 structures
  (ADT A01-A39, ORM_O01, ORU_R01, SIU_S12, ACK). Includes groups, anchors, cardinality
  and optionality per the HL7 v2.5.1 abstract message definitions.
- **Coverage ledger** — `HL7v2.Standard.Coverage` computes typed segments, raw holes,
  unsupported types, and coverage percentages
- **`mix hl7v2.coverage`** — Prints human-readable coverage report to stdout
- **Conformance tests** — `test/hl7v2/conformance/` with structure metadata validation
  (27 tests) and fixture round-trips for ADT_A01, ORU_R01, ORM_O01, SIU_S12, ACK
- **MessageDefinition** now delegates to MessageStructure for presence validation,
  extracting required segments from group-aware definitions

### Stats

1,672 tests (241 doctests + 30 properties + 1,401 tests), 0 failures

## v0.5.6 — 2026-03-22

### Fixes

- **DTM encode precision** — DateTime/NaiveDateTime encode now caps fractional seconds
  at 4 digits per HL7 v2.5.1 spec (was emitting up to 6, which the parser couldn't
  re-parse)
- **fetch/2 raw tuple bounds** — `fetch(msg, "PR1-99")` on raw tuple segments now
  returns `{:error, :field_not_found}` instead of `{:ok, nil}` for out-of-range fields
- **Type count** — README: "43 v2.5.1 types + legacy TN" (TN is deprecated, not in the
  v2.5.1 data-structure catalog)
- **Implementation plan** — Marked as historical reference, no longer claims "COMPLETE"

## v0.5.5 — 2026-03-22

### Fixes

- **fetch/2 component bounds** — `fetch(msg, "PID-5.99")` now returns
  `{:error, :component_not_found}` instead of `{:ok, nil}` for out-of-range
  component indices on typed fields
- **MRG/RGS tests** — Added parse/encode/round-trip tests for both segments
  (were at 0% coverage). Added SIU^S12 integration test with RGS.
- **Parser docs** — Changed "preserves the original wire format exactly" to
  "canonical round-trip fidelity" (line endings are normalized to CR)

## v0.5.4 — 2026-03-22

### Fixes

- **Validation return shape** — `validate/1` now returns `{:ok, warnings}` when only
  warnings are present, instead of treating warnings as errors. Warnings-only results
  no longer block `parse(..., validate: true)`.
- **Install snippet** — README updated from `~> 0.1` to `~> 0.5`
- **Segment count** — README now says "21 standard segments + generic ZXX" (was counting
  ZXX as a standard segment)
- **Raw tuple access** — README now documents that component/repetition selectors are not
  applied to raw tuples (only typed segments get full descent)
- **Segment reference** — docs/reference/segments.md now says "13 of 21" segments
  documented (was claiming all 22)

## v0.5.3 — 2026-03-22

### Additions

- **MRG segment** — Merge Patient Information (7 fields), registered in typed parser.
  ADT^A39-A42 merge workflows now fully typed end-to-end.
- **OBX dispatch** — Extended value_type_map with CQ, MO, DR, XON, CP, FC, TN. All
  implemented types now available for OBX-5 dispatch.

### Fixes

- **Builder separator** — `Message.to_raw/1` now derives separators from MSH instead
  of hardcoding defaults. Custom-delimiter builder messages encode correctly.
- **NM whitespace** — `original` field now preserves raw wire value including any
  whitespace for lossless round-trip. `value` field still uses trimmed+normalized form.
- **README accuracy** — 22 segments (was 21), ~95% coverage (was 95%+), explicit note
  about raw holes (TQ, SPS, ELD fields)

## 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 clarify scope (no ordering/group/cardinality)
- **Docs accuracy** — Fixed DICOM PS3.x citation in message-structures.md (was wrong
  standard), updated README coverage numbers

## 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
