    BI Platform 2.0 Milestone 3 is Available

    The next major version of the Pentaho BI Platform is nearing completion. Milestone 3 is your opportunity to try out the new features and provide feedback in time for the Release Candidate.

    The BI Platform has been extensively refactored in order to make it easier for developers to understand, modify, embed and extend. The plug-in layer has been improved so creating and deploying server plug-ins is much easier. A new user console makes navigating and managing your content much more intuitive. The new administration console simplifies deploying and configuring your server. Lots of UI enhancements to Report Designer and meta data now has row level security. A complete list of new features and bug fixes by product is available in JIRA.

    Product naming in 2.0 has changed. Community Edition (CE) refers to the open source products and Enterprise Edition (EE) is the new name for an enhanced version of the Pentaho subscription. Details about the Pentaho Enterprise Edition and the new features and services it includes are available here.

    Download Version 2 now!
    - BI Server
    - Report Designer
    - Metadata Editor
    - Design Studio

    A special 2.0 Testing Forum has been set up for people to share their experience with version 2. Please use the forum to let us know what configuration you are running (operating system, database, browser, etc.) and whether you found any issues or not. We are aggressively moving toward a Release Candidate (RC1) in early October, all feedback is helpful even if you had no problems.
