Renku 0.22.0 Released

Hello Renkuers! renkulab.io has been updated to version 0.22.0!

This release introduces a simplified and more powerful search, now powered by the Renku Knowledge Graph. Use the single integrated search bar to discover projects and datasets across Renku.

For your projects show up in this new Knowledge Graph search, your projects need to have the Knowledge Graph activated. But don’t worry- if this isn’t the case with any of your projects, you’ll get a message on your dashboard when you log in (see below) with a link to activate them.

Plus, after a few months away, Project and Dataset images are back! Upload an image to your project or dataset (via the Settings menu) to add some pop to your Renku project. You’ll notice this change comes with a more compact look to Project and Dataset page headers, too.

Read on for more detail on improvements and bug-fixes included in this release.
