DataCleaner 2.1 released

[Kasper Sørensen]

Hi everyone,

DataCleaner 2.1 is out! Here's the press release:

We're happy to announce the release of DataCleaner 2.1! This is a quite significant release and something that we hope users will recognize as a step forward from the 2.0 versions.

The major news in DataCleaner 2.1 are:

• There was a lot of work done on the user interface (see media page):
  • We decided to remove the left-hand side window containing environment configuration options.
  • Instead all these options have now been moved to the job building window so the user only has to focus on a single window for all the interactions needed to build a job.
  • The welcome/login dialog has also been removed in favor of a more discrete panel that can be pulled in or hidden from the main window.
  • Datastore selection and management is considered the first activity in the application, which is why it is also the first step to handle in the main window.
• You can now stop jobs in case you decide to change something before it is done.
• Bar and line charts were added to a lot of the analysis result screens, including String analyzer, Number analyzer, Date/time analyzer and Weekday distribution (see media page).
• All "preview data" windows now contain paging controls so you can move backwards and forwards in the data set.
• Most common database drivers (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server and Sybase) have been added to a default set of drivers.
• Configuration of the Quick analysis function in the Options dialog.
• Various minor bugfixes.
• Transformer for extracting date parts (year, month, day etc.) from date columns.

We hope you enjoy DataCleaner 2.1. Please head over to the downloads page to get it!

Hopy you're all happy with it. Share your thoughts!

Best,
Kasper
