We've got some gifts for you to make your Kraken experience even more merry and bright, including the ability to refresh datasets on demand as well as five shiny new data connectors that we think are way better than golden rings. Enjoy!

Updates in this release

If you have data loaded into Kraken and you later make changes at the source, such as adding a column to your Snowflake table, changing a column type in your SQL Server view or adding rows of data to your CSV file, the Data Refresh option allows you to ensure you're using the latest data for your analyses and predictions. Click here to get all the details.
When selecting an apply dataset to run predictions in Kraken, the old "grid preview" has been replaced with the same three options you have when training a model: Schema view Data view Exploratory data analysis with Data Explorer
We've implemented an all-new Amazon S3 connector that is more robust - and flexible - than before, now allowing you to specify the geographic region of your S3 bucket. Along with the S3 connector, we have released four additional "flavors" of S3 connectivity, including: DigitalOcean IBM Cloud Object Storage MinIO Qlik (on-prem, SaaS and QCS) via Amazon S3

• We've also implemented various bug fixes as well as performance and interface improvements.

Reminder: If Kraken is misbehaving, check KIKI first.

Registered Kraken users have access to KIKI, a.k.a. "Kraken Important Known Issues". If you're experiencing an issue with Kraken, KIKI is your first stop to determine if we're aware of the issue. Where possible, we provide suggested workarounds while we work to eliminate issues. KIKI will be updated as we eliminate issues through Kraken product updates, as well as when new issues are identified.
