Security fixes, no-code mapping, and a major step away from the legacy Open Source Mirth Connect engine.
MONTGOMERY, AL / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2025 / Innovar today announced the release of BridgeLink 4.5.4, the latest version of its open-source integration engine, purpose-built for healthcare organizations that need the flexibility of open source – without sacrificing enterprise support, security, or vision.
This release introduces long-requested community enhancements, critical security patches, and the Dynamic Lookup Gateway (DLG) – a game-changing feature that redefines how organizations manage value mapping in modern healthcare integration.
“BridgeLink isn’t just another fork – it’s the only open-source interface engine built for enterprise use. With the introduction of the Dynamic Lookup Gateway, we’re making a bold move away from the legacy Mirth Connect engine and toward a modern, full-featured integration platform. This release marks a turning point – not just in features, but in vision.”
– Loyd Bittle, CEO of Innovar
Critical Security Updates & Community Collaboration
BridgeLink 4.5.4 includes essential security patches, resolving long-standing vulnerabilities that have gone unaddressed in the legacy Open Source Mirth ecosystem. The release also integrates a number of pull requests from the community, previously stalled in upstream repositories – demonstrating Innovar’s commitment to the open community with enterprise-grade accountability.
Introducing the Dynamic Lookup Gateway (DLG)
DLG empowers healthcare integration teams to:
-
Build and manage lookup tables without writing code
-
Use standardized lookup mappings dynamically with our API’s
-
Replace brittle SQL and hardcoded value transforms in your interface
-
Migrate mapping environments effortlessly with JSON/CSV exports
-
Boost performance with optional in-memory caching
The feature is fully integrated into the BridgeLink Admin UI.
Built for Organizations That Need Confidence and Continuity
While other open-source interface engine projects thrive on community contributions and informal support, BridgeLink pairs that spirit with the structure enterprises require – including responsive support, long-term planning, and production-grade reliability.
With version 4.5.4, Innovar continues its work modernizing the open-source Mirth Connect foundation – evolving it into a full-featured integration platform ready for the demands of today’s healthcare environments.
