KNIME Report Designer released

26 November, 2009 - 15:59 — knime_admin

We have just released the free KNIME Report Designer for KNIME, the proven user-friendly and comprehensive open-source analytics platform.

You can now use KNIME's powerful workflow editor to load, preprocess, transform and analyze your data, and the Report Designer plug-in to create sophisticated reports including individually formatted charts, tables and other data overviews. KNIME Report Designer is based on BIRT, the Business and Reporting Tools Eclipse project, therefore enabling access to the wealth of reporting tools from this environment.

Details on KNIME Report Designer can be found on the new reporting website. You can download KNIME 2.1.1 combined with the Report Designer or if you want to add the Report Designer functionality to an existing KNIME installation, please upgrade to KNIME 2.1.1. and then follow the update instructions. To get you started on KNIME Report Designer you can find a Quickstart Guide as well as a number of movies providing you with an introduction to the use of KNIME Report Designer.

KNIME 2.1.1 released

26 November, 2009 - 15:49 — knime_admin

We have just released KNIME 2.1.1.

This a a small bug fix release which addresses some features needed for KNIME Report Designer and fixes a number of smaller bugs in KNIME itself. For a detailed list of changes see the changelog.

KNIME 2.1.0 released

23 October, 2009 - 18:25 — knime_admin

We have just released version 2.1 of KNIME, the most user-friendly and comprehensive open-source data integration, processing, analysis, and exploration platform. KNIME 2.1 is available for download and is, starting with this release, covered by GPLv3 (see license for details).

(If you are new to KNIME, you can find a few short movies showing KNIME in action.)

This new version includes - among many improvements under the hood - several exciting additions:

Time series support:
KNIME 2.1 introduces a set of nodes for handling date and time values within KNIME workflows.
Web services:
a new node is now available on KNIME labs that allows users to feed data sets to arbitrary web services. This expands the use of KNIME far beyond the built-in functionality and makes a vast amount of additional online functionality accessible from your KNIME workflows.
Image and text processing modules:
in addition to the already published text processing nodes, now a large collection of nodes to process images can also be downloaded from KNIME Labs
PMML support:
after offering beta functionality in version 2.0, KNIME now offers full PMML support (both as producer and consumer) for PMML.
Asynchronous and scalable data handling:
the KNIME data caching mechanism, which allows data sets limited only by available external storage space to be processed, is now handling data I/O asynchronously, hence further accelerating KNIME data handling.
R integration:
R nodes in KNIME can now also be used to produce and consume predictive models, making it even easier to include existing IP in the form of R-scripts when upgrading your business process to KNIME.
Database connectivity:
the universal database connectors and "in DB operation" KNIME nodes also support the new date and time types.
Expanding OS Support:
the vintage Linux (32/64 bit) and Windows (32 bit) versions are now complemented by a Windows 64 bit version and an experimental build for Mac OSX.
Some additional enhancements are:
  • Undo/redo functionality for the workflow editor
  • Various new processing and analysis nodes, e.g. a new set of PCA nodes
  • Weka Model Reader and Writer nodes
  • LibSVM integration
  • Workflow Directories
  • ...
