Dear Community Developers:
The official release for KNIME Analytics Platform 5.4 is planned for December 6th 2024.
Assuming that your extension is working with KNIME Analytics Platform 5.3, there is not much to do except:
- Create a new branch of your repository, e.g.
releases/5.4 - Change
knime.versionto5.4in the pom.xml. - Send us an informal email to community-contributions@knime.com containing the branch name.
However, some API changes from 5.3 to 5.4 might be interesting to you (adjusted from this preview post):
- If used,
org.apache.commons.commons-ioneeds to be explicitly set in yourMANIFEST.MF(because it is no longer re-exported fromorg.knime.core). - The (deprecated) method
NodeFactory#addLoadedFactorieshas been filled in empty. 3rd party must register nodes via extension points. - Authentication popups provided by the Eclipse platform are suppressed globally. If an extension needs the popup to provide username and password authentication, set the Java system property
knime.auth.popups.allowedtotrue.
If your extension is not working with KNIME Analytics Platform 5.3, please take a look at this forum thread, it explains the necessary steps to make your extension compatible.
Any further questions regarding extension development for 5.4 or help required? Please ask in this forum thread or send us an email!
Best regards
Steffen
