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.
