iRODS 5: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
DescriptionWith the bones of the software turning 30 this year, the iRODS Consortium is pleased to present iRODS 5. iRODS 5 provides a new process model with standard service manager communication and faster startup, a unified server configuration file, modernized TLS support, access time tracking, delay rule locking, and a new GenQuery parser. These changes, along with the use of distribution-provided packages for many underlying libraries, show a continued commitment to open-source, production-ready, backwards-compatible, policy-based data management.

Alongside the server updates, multiple updates to client libraries and client applications provide new ways to interact with the existing iRODS ecosystem. These include updates to the HTTP API, OpenID Connect support, the S3 API, Cyberduck, an MCP server, Metalnx, the Zone Management Tool, and more.

The iRODS platform is ready to provide the foundation of your enterprise analytics and AI integration efforts. Build on what is already proven.
