Merry christmas! Today we announce the release of DataCleaner 2.4, which marks a huge joint effort by the community and the team at Human Inference to bring together the best ideas of both open source and cloud-based Data Quality.

This new release adds support for dBase and MS Access databases! It also includes fixes for a variety of minor bugs and updated libraries.

We're happy to announce the release of DataCleaner version 1.5.1. This release is a minor release, nevertheless containing a few nice features - especially for the users who are enjoying the exporting features that was introduced in 1.5:

* An additional HTML export format have been added to the built-in export formats (usable when exporting Profiler results in the desktop app and when executing the runjob command-line tool).
* The export format is now choosable directly in the desktop app.
* Four new measures where added to the String Analysis profile: avg. chars and max/min/avg white spaces. ... [read more](/p/datacleaner/news/2009/04/datacleaner-151-released/)

"Finally!" one might say. And this is definately what is going through my head right as I write this news-item. Finally, DataCleaner 1.5 has been released! Once again the effort to bring about the best open source data quality solution is bearing fruit.

The new release is definately one of the most significant ones in the history of DataCleaner. The overall goal of the release has been to step up from the shadows of the "small tools" pool and mark DataCleaner as an enterprise-ready application for profiling and validating datastores of all kinds - both in scheduled mode, on servers and in an intuitive desktop environment.... read more

Go download the release candidate and use it as an opportunity to influence the development process by posting your comments on the DataCleaner forum.... read more

As we're moving steadily along towards the release of DataCleaner 1.5 we are fixing a few bugs and enhancing a lot of features. This leads to the desire to release our work since practically nothing has undergone changes that could destabilize the application since the 1.4 release. So today we're releasing DataCleaner 1.5 "snapshot". This also marks the first release under our new LGPL license.... read more

We've made a principal decision at eobjects.org to change the preferred license of our projects from the Apache License 2.0 to the Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

The main difference between the two licenses are that the LGPL requires any modifications to be contributed back to the Open Source community (ie. licensed under a similar license; LGPL or GPL). The eobjects.org projects are gaining the obvious advantages of the LGPL by ensuring that improvements are submitted back to the projects. This also means that we don't risk that anyone sell modified versions of our projects. It is still just as appropriate to use the projects as a part of commercial applications, but any modifications must be contributed back to the community.... read more

I've just updated subversion with the latest version, 0.2, of
DataCleaner-gui which has substantial differences from 0.1:

• Change of technology from Swing to JavaFX. For people who want a quick
  JavaFX introduction I can recommend these ressources:
  • A useful wiki: http://jfx.wikia.com/wiki/
  • Language reference:
    https://openjfx.dev.java.net/JavaFX_Programming_Language.html
  • API documentation: https://openjfx.dev.java.net/nonav/api/index.html
• Instead of dedicating the GUI to a single task it is now based upon
  InternalFrame's which provide the ability to do many thing at the same
  time with different windows (aka internal frames)
• Several minor enhancements in UI: "About" dialog, "Licence" dialog,
  seperate "open database connection" and "open file" dialogs.... read more
