### Overview of the release

Release 1.9.0 includes development of changes and guidance to the cancellation workflows {{pagelink:core-SPCancellation-1.3.0, text:standard pattern for BaRS cancellation}} to support searches with demographics. Following user feedback, it also introduces a search capability to the Implementation Guide and simplifies versioning by reducing the concurrent versions of Core from three to two: 1.0.7 and 1.3.0. There have been improvements to Help and Support, Application 6 use-case descriptions alongside bug fixes and corrections throughout the guide. Google Analytics has been implemented on the Simplifier site to track site usage and inform future development.
Release 1.10.0 includes a change to the accepted NHS number verification statuses included in the BaRS standard for applications 1-4. It also includes details of a standard pattern for updates and clarifications to the BaRS Foundation Standard, alongside bug fixes and corrections throughout the guide.
Following user feedback, the content in About BaRS, steps for technical deployment and instructions for connecting to our environments are restructured and simplified.

A clinical safety assessment of the scope of this release has determined that it has not significantly changed the clinical safety profile of the BaRS. No new hazards have been identified in this release. The latest version of the BaRS clinical safety case and hazard log can be downloaded from the <a href= "https://digital.nhs.uk/developer/api-catalogue/booking-and-referral-fhir/onboarding-support-information#hazard-log-and-clinical-safety-case-report-cscr-" target="_blank"> BaRS FHIR API onboarding support information page </a>.
