Packed with enhancements and fixes, this CKAN version is the most performant ever.
The CKAN Tech Team is happy to announce the release of the latest CKAN stable version, CKAN 2.11.
Packed with a ton of improvements and fixes, CKAN 2.11 brings new features and performance enhancements to make it more robust, secure and faster. Check out some of the highlight below, but do check the CHANGELOG and the Migration notes for more details:
In addition to the latest stable release, we have also released CKAN 2.10.5, that includes fixes for three published security advisories. The latest patch release is the only one supported by the CKAN team, so users are strongly encouraged to upgrade. For details on how to upgrade, see the following links depending on your install method: Upgrading CKAN.
In accordance with our release policy, the supported CKAN versions by the Tech Team going forward will be the latest 2.10 and 2.11 patch releases (currently 2.10.5 and 2.11.0). All users are encouraged to upgrade to these versions following the upgrading guides linked above.
Important security patches for the 2.9 version will still be available in a community fork maintained by Derilinx, which can be found in this repo. The CKAN 2.9.12 patch release includes the security content from 2.10.5.
As ever, if you want to get in touch, you can create a Discussion on the Github repository or join the Gitter channel.
CKAN 2.12 solves the large dataset download problem. A 13-million-record dataset that took 30 minutes — or timed out — now downloads in 2 minutes.
The Open Knowledge Foundation and datHere have announced a collaboration focused on advancing open, FAIR, and AI-ready data infrastructure. This post provides context on how the work relates to CKAN and the broader open data ecosystem.
