Hello community developers,
KNIME Analytics Platform 5.3.0 comes with lots of improvements:
- Continued improvements to the UI/UX of KNIME Analytics Platform
- New Expression node for data manipulation with AI assistance
- More nodes available in the modern UI
- Google Ads integration for marketing analytics
On a more technical note, we have also updated the version of several software packages that the Analytics Platform is built upon. First and most importantly, we updated the underlying Eclipse version to 2024-03. While at it, we also updated several other software packages.
This may require developers of community extensions to adapt their code to the new environment (target platform). We compiled the most important changes to the target platform to help you making your extensions compatible with KNIME Analytics Platform 5.3.0.
Bundle Renames
A couple of software packages (bundles) have been renamed, such that you have to update your manifest files. Some bundles have undergone major version updates, in which case the version constraints of your dependencies need to be relaxed. Most of the updates should require no changes to the source code.
