We've just uploaded a webcast of the new DataCleaner 1.4 which provides a long awaited update for the old 0.4 webcasts! Go enjoy the webcast - and be sure to download the newest version of DataCleaner. Over and out!

I'm please to announce the release of DataCleaner 1.4! This is a release that we feel will satisfy a lot of users with improvements and fixes for a lot of issues. Here's a very short compilation of changes, for more details, take a look at the ... [More] roadmap. Replaced "Repeated values" profile with better and more advanced "Value distribution" profile. Dictionary matcher drill-to-details options. New application logo. Lots of small bugfixes and UI beautifications. Lots of sample dictionaries and regexes.

After some considerations about the future of DataCleaner, we've updated the roadmap to reflect our current plans for the direction of development. We are planning on releasing DataCleaner 1.4 by the end of the month and after that two new ... [More] milestones have been added: DataCleaner 1.5: The main focus of this release is to provide a command line interface for our data quality framework. This means that users will be able to easily create batch jobs that they can schedule using their favorite scheduler. Other features will also include Pattern Finder improvements and a couple of new profiles. DataCleaner 1.6: We have a lot of suggestions that have been filling up our backlog. DataCleaner 1.6 will be all about getting everybody's needs into the application before we get ready to begin the webapp. Some of the exciting features of DataCleaner 1.6 will be relationship profiling and exporting of results.

Great news everybody. The Open Source Days '08 conference in Copenhagen will feature a so-called Lightning Speak by Kasper Sørensen on the topic of DataCleaner and the eobjects.org community. We're really happy to get the message of DataCleaner ... [More] out to more people and a conference like this is an ideal spot for demonstrations, discussions and experiences. Read more about the lightning speak at Kasper's blog: http://kasper.eobjects.dk/2008/09/presenting-datacleaner-at-open-source.html [Less]

During the last year eobjects.dk have grown rapidly and attracted a lot of attention both from Denmark where the community was originally founded, but also internationally from users and contributors in all parts of the world. We believe that this ... [More] world wide interest in eobjects should be reflected in the website name and address, which is why we have acquired the eobjects.org domain name as of today! Eobjects.dk will still prevail and the domain names are exact aliases but forward on we will undergo a gradual name change from .dk to .org. This will be reflected in several matters; The official name of the website will change to eobjects.org. For the sake of compatibility we will not change the package names of our java classes just yet. Only major version releases will include such changes (ie. wait for DataCleaner 2.0 and MetaModel 1.1). The same principle goes for our Maven artifacts. In time they will probably change though, but this also depends on the repository crew at apache. We are happy that we now have a domain name that symbolize the international appeal of our software and we hope that it will enforce the community with a likewise global culture and sense of vitality.

We're happy to announce that MetaModel 1.0.7 has just been released! The new release should be a drop-in replacement with minor improvements and bugfixes: Improved memory handling and fixed a very slight memory leak (#191). Added support for RIGHT ... [More] JOIN when using the embedded query engine (#175). XML support have been improved with more precise column types (#176). You can download the new MetaModel at our google code download site. For all you maven people out there, here's the update to your POM: <dependency> <groupId>dk.eobjects.commons</groupId> <artifactId>MetaModel</artifactId> <version>1.0.7</version> </dependency> Enjoy.

We've released a development/snapshot release of DataCleaner 1.4 in order to get early reactions for all the improvements and new features as well as supporting our users with up to date functionality. In my own opinion the development release is ... [More] just as stable and "safe to use" as 1.3, but of course it lacks a bit of the manual testing that we put into the real releases. You can download the development release at our sourceforge download site. Here's a short list of fixes since DataCleaner 1.3: Better memory handling and garbage collection Reference columns in drill-to-details windows Better error handling when loading schemas Quoting of string values in visualized tables (in order to distinguish empty strings and white spaces) New profile: Value Distribution, which is an improved version of the Repeated Values profile. The Value Distribution profile has an option to configure the top/bottom n values to include in the result. Better control of profile result column width. Bugfix: Copy to clipboard functions now work properly. Bugfix: Scrollbars added to visualized tables. Take a look at the roadmap for more current developments of DataCleaner. [Less]

After a great deal of work we're happy to announce the launch of the new eobjects.dk website at our new server host! Thanks to Copenhagen Business School we now have a much better bandwidth available as well as more powerful hardware. Take a look ... [More] around - a lot of things have changed, but the important stuff is still the same. The most remarkable change is probably what you're looking at right now - the News page! With the News page we'll be sure to keep you updated with all that goes on at eobjects.dk - project releases, roadmap changes, events, visions and goals etc. etc. There's a new left-hand side menu to ease navigation. We've created a new Docs page and a Downloads page for quick access to common inquiries. You'll also notice that the projects have been highlighted in the menu to give a better overview of our work. For contributors and developers, the Hudson continuous integration is still not migrated yet. So we hope you have patience and discipline to live without CI for a couple of days. We hope that you like the new website. If there's anything you'd like to comment on or anything that doesn't work as it should, please don't hesitate to go to the discussion forums and point it out for us! We will then make sure that the new website lives up to all the hopes we have for it. [Less]
