Release 2.5 ( November 2020)

Below are the highlights of the 2.5 release:

  • The following improvements to the presentation-server user interface:

    • The Type Explorer UI

      • supports options to show/hide deprecated types and/or deprecated attributes. Please refer to the Type Explorer help.md for details.
      • preserves the user-selected focus type across reloads of type information from the repository server.
    • The Repository Explorer UI

      • has the Enterprise option enabled by default. It can be disabled to perform more specific, localized queries.
      • now indicates whether an instance was returned by an enterprise or local scope operation against its home repository or is a reference copy or proxy.
      • has a user-settable limit on the number of search results (and a warning to the user if it is exceeded)
      • now colors nodes based on their home metadata collection's ID. This previously used metadata collection's name but a metadata collection's name can be changed, whereas the metadata collection's ID is permanent.
      • has improved help information covering search
    • The Dino UI

      • displays a server's status history in a separate dialog instead of inline in the server details view.
  • The following improvements to the repositories:

    • The Graph Repository

      • find methods have reinstated support for core properties, previously temporarily disabled due to property name clashes that are now resolved
  • A new type 'OpenMetadataRoot' has been added as the root type for all Open Metadata Types. See the base model

  • The admin services guide has some additional information on configuring TLS security

  • Improvements to the gradle build scripts, but at this point it remains incomplete and build of egeria still requires maven

  • Bug Fixes

  • Dependency Updates

Release 2.3 (September 2020)

New capabilities & Major changes

  • A new Presentation Server User interface has been added, making use of React & Carbon
    • Presentation Server is still in development
    • For developers not contributing to Presentation Server, running in a container under Kubernetes or docker-compose is the easiest way to get started
    • See the last section of the Presentation Server README for instructions on running Presentation Server
    • For contributors, The Presentation Server README also documents 'Configuring the Presentation Server' - this is done automatically in our k8s/compose environment. However
      if doing this manually note (4th point) that the environment variable is called EGERIA_PRESENTATIONSERVER_SERVER_<ui server name> where
      the <ui server name> is the tenant's serverName.. The examples in the document are correct.
  • The Dino User Interface for presentation server now allows an Egeria operations user to display a graph and details of Egeria resources including
    platforms, servers, services and cohort memberships.
  • Type Explorer & Repository Explorer, previously found in the Polymer based UI, are now available
    in Presentation Server.
  • Raise a github issue or Contact the Egeria team via slack at slack.odpi.com if you experience issues or have questions.

  • Bug Fixes & ongoing feature work

Release 2.2 (August 2020)

Below are the highlights of this release:

  • Additional connectors are now placed in our assembly under server/lib without dependencies. If you need to use a connector that requires additional dependencies that are not already part of the server chassis, you will need to add those libraries here.
  • The docker image has been updated to use a later openjdk alpine base image due to incompatabilities with our JanusGraph support in the old images for java 8.
  • In the VDC chart, 2 new values have been added, 'ibmigc.connectorversion' and 'atlas.connectorversion'. In this release these are set to use the 2.1 connectors, since the connectors run to a different release cycle than the main Egeria code. Once new connectors are released you can update these values to get the latest connectors
  • Further code to support lineage has been added, but in this release it remains in development and is not yet ready for use in production.
  • User interface improvements.
  • Ongoing bug fixes and refactoring especially in subject-area omas.

Known Issues

  • In the VDC helm chart, the Apache Atlas initialization job fails to complete. This is due to a problem with the Apache Atlas server and Apache SOLR. See https://github.com/odpi/egeria/issues/3587 for more information.

Dependencies

  • Spring Boot is updated to 2.3.3 .
