The Albany Gazette - Innovar Releases BridgeLink 4.5.4 - The Only Enterprise-Grade Open Source Interface 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.
