KNIME Business Hub 1.3 Release Notes ​

KNIME Business Hub 1.3.0 ​

(released April 03, 2023)

Important installation notes ​

  • With the release of KNIME Business Hub 1.3.0 new security features are introduced regarding executor communication. For this reason, KNIME Business Hub requires every executor to be on Analytics Platform version 4.7.1 or higher. You can find a list of the available executor images here.
  • With this release we changed the istio configuration of two services, to allow them to see the IP of the caller if the request is coming from within the cluster. This can cause those two services (keycloak-proxy, s3-proxy) to not start up in some scenarios, with a "too many open files" error in the istio-proxy container of those pods. This can be fixed by increasing the open file limit on the host VM, e.g. by running the following command: sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=8192.
  • The KOTS App Manager is now on version 1.96.3. This new version fixes an important bug, so it should be updated before updating to KNIME Business Hub version 1. 3. To do so use the following command: curl -sSL https://kurl.sh/knime-hub | sudo bash.
  • If you haven’t updated to KNIME Business Hub 1.2.0, yet, you need to follow update guide in the 1.2.0 changelog before updating to 1.3.

New features ​

Molecule sketcher Use the new Molecule Widget (Labs) node to accept molecule input from your users. With this new node we made the integration of different sketchers easier and allowed to provide different sketchers also for KNIME Analytics Platform. In this release the ketcher sketcher is included. Additional sketchers will follow in the upcoming releases.
