What's an antonym to "legacy"?

I am struggling to find out what the best and shortest way is to describe the opposite of a legacy system (especially in software architecture, where legacy means the system used previously).

I need to use it in software so I can create methods such as:

find_legacy_record and find_[opposite of legacy]_record

I tried looking in a thesaurus for synonyms of old, but nothing really fit well with my use.

Legacy is a good term in programming, because you're less likely to confuse it to something else (old can also mean a previous state of the record, not necessarily belonging to an old system).

Legacy (adj.) means “inherited”.¹ Legacy systems, for example, are the systems we inherited. In the software industry, it often has a negative connotation that the thing is obsolete (but not always²). An antonym would refer to recent innovations, so for that we would use terms such as:

• cutting-edge systems
• the latest systems
• mainstream systems
• modern systems
• present-day systems
• state-of-the-art systems
• trendy systems³

Each of these has a unique shade of meaning and you would simply pick the one that is closest in meaning to what you intend.

Footnotes

¹ “legacy”, Collins Free Online Dictionary. This entry includes several examples of legacy as a noun modifier. These examples show that legacy always connotes inheritance, but the connotation of obsolescence comes from context. For instance, a legacy moon is apparently an astrological phenomenon:

high legacy software support costs —Computing (2010)
the hope of securing legacy gifts —The Sun (2016)
something for the legacy committee to consider —Times, Sunday Times (2012)
still using army legacy computer systems —Times, Sunday Times (2013)
a legacy moon suggests something —The Sun (2010)

² Stanley Quayle, “Ticketmaster and its ‘old’ system”, VMS Spoken Here. Sometimes, according to Mr Quayle, “legacy means stuff that just works”.

³ Italicized terms collected from the entry “cutting edge”, Thesaurus.com.

Some possibilities are:

• current
• active
• present
• no additional word, just call it find_record

Greenfield is a term that describes a software system that's starting out entirely new. Not an exact match, but I can't think of anything better.
