Download

The new version can be downloaded from our website [3].

Deprecations

  • The UIMA CAS JSON format has switched to a new implementation/format and can now not only be exported but also imported. If you rely on being able to export the old format, you have to re-enable it by adding ui.json-cas-legacy.enabled=true.
  • The default PDF support has been upgraded. Existing PDF documents imported with the old support can still be edited, but newly imported PDFs use the new support. If for some reason you need to be able to import PDFs using the old (buggy) support, you have to re-enable it by adding ui.pdf-legacy.enabled=true.

Important upgrade notes

Please check the upgrade notes [8]

An in-place upgrade from INCEpTION 23.11 to 24.0 is possible.

Back up your data before the upgrade [4].
