INCEpTION 24.3
We are pleased to announce the release of INCEpTION 24.3.
INCEpTION is an extensible web-based collaborative environment for text annotation. It integrates machine-learning-basyed annotation support, knowledge base management and corpus building into a single comprehensive platform.
This is a bug fix release.

Important upgrade notes
Removal of ElasticSearch support from binary distribution: Support for ElasticSearch has been broken since v24.0. We had upgraded several essential libraries in INCEpTION to a version that the ElasticSearch version we had been using so far was no longer compatible with. Unfortunately, the license of newer versions ElasticSearch is no longer an OSI-approved open source license. The code that enables connecting to ElasticSearch repositories is still present in the INCEpTION GitHub repository. It has been fixed by upgrading to a recent non-open-source ElasticSearch release. However, the code is no longer part of the binary releases. If you need it, you have to build from source and explicitly add a dependency to it to the inception-app-webapp module. OpenSearch is an open source fork of ElasticSearch and support for it will be provided as part of the upcoming INCEpTION v25.
Please check the upgrade notes [8]
An in-place upgrade from INCEpTION 24.2 to 24.3 is possible.
Back up your data before the upgrade [4].
If you upgrade from a version older than 24.0, please check the release notes for INCEpTION 24.0 [7].
