Upgrading from 0.7.7

• Keycloak chart dependency has been upgraded from 4.10.2 to 9.8.1, check out the instructions on how to upgrade aspects not covered by default in the Renku chart. Most notably, keycloak values are less nested, so at the level of the Renku chart values, keycloak.keycloak.X.Y becomes keycloak.X.Y.

If the Renkulab deployment includes keycloak, the values file should be modified as follows:

• DELETE - the section keycloak.keycloak.persistence has been removed. Database connection details are specified through the keycloak.extraEnv and keycloak.extraEnvFrom blocks. See the Renku values file for reference.
• EDIT - keycloak.keycloak.username has been moved to global.keycloak.user.

Finally, before applying the helm upgrade, the Keycloak statefulset should be deleted.

Version 0.7.7

Version 0.7.4

This is a patch release that includes a change in notebooks and some improvements to the Knowledge Graph.

Version 0.7.3

This release contains some very nice improvements to the file and datasets management and visualization as well as project migrations.

New features

• Dataset removal A dataset can be now removed from a project, either from the UI or with the Renku CLI.

• Pinned environments image A project can pin interactive environments to a specific image, independent of the content of the project. This can be useful for situations like courses where everyone should use the environment defined by the instructor. To take advantage, see the renku configuration file documentation.

• Project migration Project migration has been improved, allowing users to migrate the template, Dockerfile and Renku version with just one click. Information about the latest and current Renku CLI and template versions are displayed in the Status section of a project. Additionally, a migrationscheck command is available in Renku CLI.

Improvements

• Dataset upload When uploading files, a progress bar is displayed.

• Dataset visualization For a better experience on dataset listing inside projects, description and author list have been cropped. The full content of both is still available when accessing the dataset.

• File preview Preview of C++ and Fortran files is supported.

• File download Files can be downloaded from the Renku UI.

• Autosaved work Commits with autosaved content are marked with * and dialog is more specific.

• Autosave git LFS When a session is closed and work is automatically saved, large files are added to LFS according to the project's settings see renku config documentation.

• Core Renku CLI commit messages are shortened to 100 characters for readability.

• New projects Templates to create new projects now use the new Renku CLI version 0.12.2 by default.

Fixes

• Auth credentials: the way Renku environments handle git credentials has been improved.
