What's New in RapidMiner Studio 8.1.0?

Released: February 06th, 2018

The following describes the bug fixes in RapidMiner Studio 8.1.0:

Added Auto Model feature, a new working mode for rapid creation, comparison, and exploration of new models. It can be found as a new view at the top.
Added a powerful global search functionality which can be found in the top-right corner and activated via Ctrl+F shortcut. You can currently search for operators, repository contents, UI actions, and Marketplace content. See the documentation for more information if you are interested in more complex and powerful search queries (e.g. finding data/models that contain a specific attribute, or were last modified before a certain date, etc).

New Process Templates upgraded to use the latest operator versions.
Read Excel now allows sheet selection by name.
Read CSV, Read XML and Read Excel have a new expert parameter read all values as polynominal, which allows the user to disable type guessing.
Hide passwords in the Password Manager dialog and store them with a stronger encryption.
Seach Twitter and Get Twitter User Statuses added support for 280-character tweets.
All Twitter operators moved from numerical to nominal attributes for user and status IDs.
Made the Views display at the top more dynamic on resizing to prevent squashed GUI elements for low(er) resolutions and to show more views for high(er) resolutions. To achieve this, both the Undo and Redo buttons for process editing were removed. You can still undo/redo via the top Edit menu, or by pressing Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y, or even via the new global search by searching for Undo or Redo.

Unsigned 3rd party extensions can now call ParameterService#setParameterValue(String, String) without causing a SecurityException
Please note: We have accumulated lots of outdated code over the years. Anything that is annotated with @Deprecated will be removed at some point in the future. Removal will start with RapidMiner Studio 9.0, so please prepare your extensions by not using any deprecated code anymore. JavaDoc will help guide you to replacement classes/interfaces/methods.
