Something cool for the winter
The latest version of KNIME Analytics Platform has just been released and, just like in previous years, there is something for everyone.
There is a number of new utility nodes (in particular Dean’s much wanted Multi Column Math Formula and a new Window Loop Start node) and we have also upgraded the text mining extensions and REST nodes. Continuing to integrate interesting tools and data sources, we have added Keras support to the Deep Learning mix, a number of nodes to access Google Sheets, and advanced work on our H2O integration. Another big emphasis has gone into a number of new JavaScript Visualization nodes such as a new Data Explorer, as well as Table Editor and Word Cloud nodes.
All details on this release can be read in this summary as well as in the more detailed changelog. However, the best way to really check it out is by downloading KNIME Analytics Platform. Simply go to File → Update KNIME to get the latest version, or download and install from here.
In the final chapter of our move to open source all KNIME Analytics Platform extensions, the KNIME Big Data Extensions are now open source as well: You can have parts of your workflows blend data on your favorite big data environment and train models using Apache Spark.
We didn’t stop there though. We have also re-structured KNIME Server - our commercial offering. KNIME Server extends the power and flexibility of KNIME Analytics Platform beyond individual data scientists to everyone in your company, providing various collaboration, deployment, and automation functionalities.
Don't forget to mark your calendars for the KNIME Spring Summit in Berlin, March 5-9, 2018.
Wishing you Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year!
The KNIME Team
