Finding the Newest KNIME Release

NodePit lists every KNIME release with its date. A script can use this to check whether a new version is out, or to ask for the nodes of a specific version.

Ask for the versions

The list has one entry for each release and platform, so ask for your platform and pick the entry with the highest version number. Do not go by the date: KNIME keeps releasing bugfix versions of older releases, so the most recent date can belong to an older version.

curl -s "https://nodepit.com/api/versions?os=linux&arch=x86_64" \
  | jq -r '.items | max_by(.version | split(".") | map(tonumber)) | "\(.version), released \(.releaseDate)"'

Leave out os and arch to see the releases for every platform. Each entry also has the download address of the release for that platform.

Use the version

The other endpoints take the major and minor number as knimeVersion: 5.12 for the release 5.12.0. To see what a node looked like in an earlier release, add the parameter to the request for the node. See Concepts.

With an AI assistant

Ask a connected assistant:

What is the latest KNIME release, and when did it come out?

It looks up the versions and answers with the newest one. See Connecting an AI Assistant if you have not connected one yet.
