0.47.0ο
This release expands Renkuβs cloud storage functionality in two key ways: First, mounted storages are now read and write, so you can use mounted storage as an active workspace for your data in a RenkuLab session. Second, we have expanded the cloud storage services you can integrate with RenkuLab. You can now mount not only S3 buckets, but also WebDAV-based storages and Azure Blobs.
If you use SSH sessions via the CLI, you can use cloud storage there too! Configure cloud storage for your project on RenkuLab.io, and those storages will be mounted in your remote session. Support for cloud storage in local Renku sessions is still on our roadmap.
This release also adds the ability to change which resource class your session uses when you unpause the session, in case the original resource class is now full.

Individual componentsο
0.42.0ο
Renku 0.42.0 allows RenkuLab administrators to easily manage user resource pools via an Admin Panel built into RenkuLab.
User resource pools are a way to manage the compute resources accessible to groups of RenkuLab users for interactive sessions.
From the new Admin Panel, admins can create resource pools, set their max resource quotas, customize the session classes
available within pools, and add users to pools. Admins can access the new Admin Panel by navigating to the account icon
in the top right in RenkuLab and selecting βAdmin Panelβ. To access the Admin Panel, a user must have the renku-admin role
delegated to them in Keycloak.
In addition, the login screen was updated to better space components on smaller screens and fix minor visual glitches.

Individual components:ο
0.41.1ο
Renku 0.41.1 is a bugfix release to patch a bug found in the data service which prevented
new users from being created due to a db migration problem.
Individual componentsο
0.41.0ο
Renku 0.41.0 adds new functionality for configuring external storage in projects! Users can now
configure external storage to be mounted automatically in their sessions. The settings are persisted for the project,
but access control is managed by the provider of the storage, not by Renku. This means that for restricted
data sources, users must enter credentials separately. This first implementation only supports S3-compatible storage,
but we will add support for additional providers soon.
Lastly, with this release administrators can configure the RenkuLab homepage to highlight chosen projects.
A note to Renku administrators: this release includes breaking changes in our Helm chart values file.
Refer to the Internal Changes section below for more details.

Internal Changesο
This release is a breaking change to the Helm values file and it requires minor edits to the following field:
ui.homepageremoved the unusedprojectsfield and added theshowcasefield.amalthea.scheduler.*deprecates all existing child fields and adds new child fields. If you are not defining these fields in your values file then you are using the default Kubernetes scheduler and this requires no action. But if you are defining a custom scheduler in your deploymentβs values file then this requires additional edits to your values file so that you can retain the same functionality as before.the
crcfield in the values file has been renamed todataService, all child fields remain the same functionally and by name.
For more details on the Helm chart values changes please refer to the explanation in helm-chart/values.yaml.changelog.md.
In addition to this, other notable changes include:
add node affinities and tolerations for resource classes
persist cloud storage configurations at the project level

0.39.1ο
Renku 0.39.1 fixes bugs in the Helm chart introduced by 0.39.0.
Internal Changesο
This introduces changes in the templates and values file of the Helm chart from 0.39.0 that were causing the Helm upgrade operation to fail.
0.39.0ο
Renku 0.39.0 moves all renku component Helm charts to one single chart that now resides in this repository.
After initial testing we have noticed a bug in this version of the Helm chart. If you have already deployed this version simply
upgrading to 0.39.1 will fix things. If you have not yet deployed this version then skip it and go straight to 0.39.1.
The reason for the bug is that we replaced the spec.selector.matchLabels field of two important deployments in the Gateway
because of this the two components do not upgrade and the whole Helm upgrade operation fails.
Also, with the next releases we will adopt a specific way of versioning the helm chart. Namely:
Patch changes (i.e.
0.50.1->0.50.2) indicate that there are NO changes in the Helm chart and that only application level bug fixes are present in the new release.Minor version changes (i.e.
0.50.2->0.51.0) indicate that there are NO changes in the Helm chart and that only application level new features and/or application level breaking changes are present.Major version changes (i.e.
0.50.0->1.0.0) will be reserved for changes in the Helm chart, either when the values file changes or when the Helm templates change.
Please note that this is a breaking change to the values file and it requires three minor edits to the following fields:
graph.jena.*moved tojena.*notebooks.amalthea.*moved toamalthea.*notebooks.dlf-chart.*moved todlf-chart.*
For more details please refer to the explanation in helm-chart/values.yaml.changelog.md.
Internal Changesο
There are now no more separate Helm charts for the core, notebooks, graph, UI and gateway components. All the Helm templates have been moved into the main Renku Helm chart in this repository.

Individual componentsο
0.37.0ο
Renku 0.37.0 introduces a new feature to pause sessions and later resume them exactly where you left off. All of your work in progress, including files, data, and environment changes not saved to git, are resumed right as you left them.
This feature replaces RenkuLabβs branch-based auto-save mechanism. Most users do not have to do anything to transition from auto-saves to persistent sessions. However, if your last session went into an auto-save, you can still retrieve that work by using Start with Options and selecting your most recent auto-save branch. If your project contains auto-save branches that you do not need anymore, you can safely delete them.

for the CRC has not been added yet but it will be added in a future release.
Currently, the only way for administrators to interact with the CRC service is
through the swagger page which can be found at the path
/swagger/?urls.primaryName=crc%20service appended to the base URL of a Renku
deployment. A Renku administrator is any user who has the renku-admin realm
role. Assigning users to this role can be performed by the Keycloak
administrator via the Keycloak UI or API.
The CRC service also brings changes to the user interface for launching sessions, specifically when it comes to selecting compute resources for a specific session. With this version we have grouped different pre-set configurations of memory, CPU, RAM and GPU in resource classes. Resource classes are further grouped in resource pools and users are asked to select the resource pool and class they wish to use when they launch a session rather than separately specify memory, CPU, RAM and GPU requirements. The selection for the amount of disk storage required is also changed but now has more freedom than before. Users can now select disk storage with a slider that only has a maximum limit and no pre-set steps. For projects where the users have specified resource requests in the project settings the UI will provide hints as to which resource classes are suitable based on the settings. When the quick launch button is used to start a session the closest equal or greater resource class based on the project settings will be automatically selected.
Apart from the changes needed to support compute resource access features, support has also been added for common R file extensions.
This release also includes a hotfix for an issue with the horizontal scaling of the core-service where users could get redirected to the wrong service instance and subsequent requests to the core-service would fail due to partial cache misses.

More info can be found on release notes of specific components:
0.12.1ο
Minor release to align Sentry configurations across the components. It includes a few minor bug-fixes.
0.12.0ο
This is an important upgrade that enables v1.0 of renku-python (renku CLI) to work with the renku web interface, renkulab. The upgrade requires regenerating the metadata in the knowledge graph, which means that for a period of time, searching and accessing datasets and lineage information will be limited and incomplete. The metadata regeneration is done automatically and doesnβt require any action from you.
Updating projectsο
You might be prompted to update your project to the new version of Renku. As a general rule, this update should take less than 30 seconds, and we will provide an estimate of the time required. The update will migrate the metadata for your project and, for most projects, update the base image and the version of the Renku CLI used in interactive sessions. For large projects with thousands of commits or many renku workflows, we recommend doing the migration manually. Please donβt hesitate to reach out or open an issue if you encounter problems or are unsure how to proceed.
Most importantly, from this point on, new projects created on renkulab will use renku
CLI >= v1.0. We therefore strongly urge all users to have a look at the myriad of
excellent new features that this major release enables by checking out the
renku-python release notes.
This release completely changes the storage and generation of the knowledge graph metadata,
with vastly improved performance and functionality. We have gone to great lengths to
ensure a smooth transition for older projects and for continuity in the CLI, but
please report issues on discourse or
GitHub.
We hope you like the new features - if you have further questions suggestions for improvements, let us know!
Detailed release notes follow below.

Administratorsο
BREAKING CHANGES: carefully plan the outage for this upgrade. Because of the underlying changes to the knowledge graph structure, the entire KG has to be rebuilt. Based on our experience, this is orders of magnitude faster than in earlier iterations, but depending on the number of projects it could still take some time. The platform will be usable during this time, but KG features may not fully work (e.g. dataset search)
(gateway/notebooks) partial support for custom CA certificates
0.11.3ο
Minor release fixing a bug in the acceptance tests.
0.11.2ο

Upgrading from 0.9.3ο
BREAKING CHANGES!! The admin should plan and warn users ahead of time that their sessions will be terminated when doing the upgrade. The new Loud statuspage component introduced in 0.9.3 can help get the message across.
The use of Amalthea and removal of Jupyterhub will require some changes. Namely: - All references to Jupyterhub in the
values.yamlhave been removed and are not required anymore. - Amalthea is installed from a separate helm chart which is now a dependency of therenku-notebookshelm chart. - Several new sections have been added to thevalues.yamlfile which are required by Amalthea. Please refer to the renku values file for more details.Some older images with Rstudio will open Rstudio in a directory one level above the repository. This can be fixed by upgrading to a newer version of the base image in the Dockerfile in the relevant renku project.
This version is not backward compatible with the user sessions from older versions. During the deployment the admin should clean up all remaining user sessions and then deploy this version.
Anonymous sessions do not require a separate namespace and renku-notebooks deployment, if enabled in the values file they now run in the same namespace as regular user sessions.
0.9.3ο
This is a very minor release that allows messages about maintenance and downtime to be displayed more prominently in the UI. This way the interruptions from upcoming releases can be more effectively communicated to users.
Improvementsο
UI: possibility to make maintenance/downtime notifications more prominently shown. To use this feature, the admin needs to create a new statuspage component called Loud and thick when wanting the message to appear more prominently.
0.9.2ο
This is a bugfix release that includes various minor fixes: templates and core use a new bugfix CLI version, as well as other fixes for external to SDSC deployments and improved login style.
Improvementsο
Sessions: make enforced limits configurable when using
emptyDirdisk space.
Bug Fixesο
Templates: Renku and custom templates updated to use Renku
0.16.2(should fix pyshacl and renku conflicting dependencies).Renku core / CLI: pin pyshacl to version
0.17.0.post1.Login: make social identity providers style match internal ones.
UI: configurable welcome page for external deployments.

0.8.4ο
This version of Renku introduces the ability to use persistent volumes for user sessions. This is optional and can be enabled in the values file for the helm chart. In addition to enabling this feature users have the ability to select the storage class used by the persistent volumes. We strongly recommend that a storage class with a Delete reclaim policy is used, otherwise persistent volumes from all user sessions will keep accumulating.
Also, unlike previous versions, with 0.8.4 the amount of disk storage will be strongly enforced, regardless of whether persistent volumes are used or not. With persistent volumes users will simply run out of space. However, when persistent volumes are not used, going over the amount of storage that a user has requested when starting their session will result in eviction of the k8s pod that runs the session and termination of the session. Therefore, admins are advised to review and set proper options for disk sizes in the notebooks.serverOptions portion of the values file.
Improvementsο
UI: Add banner advertising new version to logged-in users and various improvements in the new canary deployment itself.
Environments: Ability to use persistent volumes for user sessions.

Upgrading from 0.8.3ο
When upgrading from 0.8.3 the following steps should be taken based on whether you would like to use persistent volumes for user sessions or not:
Use persistent volumes:
Edit the notebooks.userSessionPersistentVolumes section of the values.yaml file changing the enabled flag to true and selecting a storage class to be used with every user session. It is strongly recommended to select a storage class with a Delete retention policy to avoid the accumulation of persistent volumes with every session launch.
Review and modify (if needed) the disk request options in the values.yaml file.
Review and modify (if needed) the the server defaults in the values.yaml file. These will be used if a specific server options is omitted in the request to create a session and should be compatible with any matching values in the serverOptions section. It also allows an administrator to omit an option from the selection menu that is defined in the serverOptions section and have renku always use the default from the serverDefaults section.
Do not use persistent volumes:
Review and modify (if needed) the disk request options in the values.yaml file. Please note that if a user consumes more disk space than they requested (or more than what is set in the serverDefaults of the values file) then the userβs session will be evicted. This is necessary because if a user consumes a lot of space on the node where their session is scheduled k8s starts to evict user sessions on that node regardless of whether they are using a lot of disk space or not. This sometimes results in the eviction of multiple sessions and not the session that is consuming the most storage resources.
Review and modify (if needed) the the server defaults in the values.yaml file. These will be used if a specific server options is omitted in the request to create a session and should be compatible with any matching values in the serverOptions section. It also allows an administrator to omit an option from the selection menu that is defined in the serverOptions section and have renku always use the default from the serverDefaults section.
0.8.3ο
This is a bugfix release that includes fixes to Knowledge Graph. For more details please check the renku-graph 1.36.6 release notes.
0.8.2ο
This release includes a beta version of the new user interface for Renku. Over the next few releases we will gradually phase out the old user interface. However, for the time being you can use both. Simply switch between the two by clicking the link on the Renku home page.

Upgrading from 0.7.7ο
Breaking change Keycloak chart dependency has been upgraded from 4.10.2 to 9.8.1 which will trigger an irreversible database migration, check out the upgrade instructions for more details.
Most notably, keycloak values are less nested, so at the level of the Renku chart values, keycloak.keycloak.X.Y becomes keycloak.X.Y. You can also check out the instructions on how to upgrade aspects not covered by default in the Renku chart.
If the Renkulab deployment includes keycloak, the values file should be modified as follows: * DELETE - the section keycloak.keycloak.persistence has been removed. Database connection details are specified through the keycloak.extraEnv and keycloak.extraEnvFrom blocks. See the Renku values file for reference. * EDIT - keycloak.keycloak.username has been moved to global.keycloak.user.
Finally, before applying the helm upgrade, the Keycloak statefulset should be deleted.

0.7.2ο
This release brings several smaller improvements and bug-fixes, the most notable of which are:
New featuresο
Datasets Add new fields and the possibility to edit existing fields to the web UI.
Knowledge Graph Improve information flow related to KG integration and Renku version updates in the UI.
Fixesο
Project creation: improve name validation, the handling of non ASCII characters and a bug which led to failures when fetching the available templates.
Graph processing: fix a bug in prioritizing events for processing.
For details check out the individual component updates.
0.7.1ο
This release features an update to the default project templates, bumping the default renku CLI version to ``0.12.0` <https://github.com/SwissDataScienceCenter/renku-python/releases/tag/v0.12.0>`_ and some backend bug fixes.
Fixesο
Graph building: several improvements to graph building, including a fix for metadata compaction in renku-core that caused some entities to not get processed.
0.7.0ο
This release brings a lot of important new features to both Renkulab and the Renku CLI. Itβs our best one yet!
New featuresο
Project templates: you can now create custom templates for your projects and use them on project initialization. Great for groups or courses! See the docs for more details.
Datasets: you can now search for datasets and import them into projects directly from the Renkulab web UI. The dataset import and creation flow has also been much improved thanks to changes in the core service backend. Note that importing datasets from other renku projects from the UI currently works only for datasets in public repositories.
Data import: files can be imported into datasets directly from a URL.
Project migration: the metadata of renku projects occasionally changes. In order for all the components to work well together, the metadata must be kept in sync. Previously you needed to do this manually with the CLI but now itβs as easy as clicking a button.
Template simplification: We have decoupled the CLI version from the base image and made it easier to override in your own environments. See the project template README for details.
Improved editor: All text editing components are using an enhanced editor that allows seamless switching between WYSIWYG and markdown.
renku save: the Renku CLI now features a
savecommand that simplifies the process of committing and pushing your project to the server.
Improvementsο
Dataset deletion: Datasets used to stick around even after getting deleted from the project. This has now been fixed and deleted datasets no longer appear in the dataset listings.
git credentials: the interactive sessions now handle your git credentials in a way that allows you to seamlessly access any of your private repositories on renkulab from within an interactive session.
git hooks in interactive sessions: git hooks were not previously installed per default in interactive sessions, which meant that some nice features like automatically pushing large files to LFS did not work correctly. This has now been corrected and should hopefully save many repositories from improperly handled data!
graph redesign: Under the hood, the renku-python library has a completely redesigned knowledge graph model. This enormous effort doesnβt translate to user-visible improvements yet, but theyβre coming in the next release!
Many other improvements and bug fixes across all of the renku components, which have significantly improved the stability of the entire platform!
Upgrading user projectsο
To upgrade your existing renkulab project to the latest images, the easiest is
if you copy/paste a Dockerfile that suits your project
(python/R/Bioconductor) from the renku project templates repository.
Note that even if you upgrade the image, the project in the repository will still
need to be migrated. You can do this on the command line by running renku
migrate in your project or follow the instructions in the UI when prompted.
Changes and improvements in the platform deploymentο
Breaking change: Postgresql chart: we have switched to the Bitnami version of the Postgresql helm chart - this requires a manual intervention when upgrading from renku
