Updated release cycle
As discussed on the development mailing list, the Apache Hop project is moving to a quarterly release cycle. This means that this release comes quite quickly after 2.13 and is therefore quite small. The next release will be 2.15, which is scheduled for August 2025.
Mail server metadata type
Apache Hop now supports a new metadata type for Mail Server. This allows you to connect to a mail server and send emails from Apache Hop workflows and pipelines.
The actions and transforms that use this metadata type are: * actions: Mail Get Mails (POP3/IMAP) * transforms: Email messages input Mail
To support this new metadata type, the integration tests were updated and extended and now use Apache James as a mail server.
Various improvements and fixes
-
metadata fetch for query operations is now faster
-
the file explorer perspective now shows different colors for stages files
-
the Text File Input transform new has a new option to show file contents from and to a range of lines, instead of just the first lines of a file.
-
Hop Web has a fix in the error logging widget
-
deleting an environment now correctly clears all variables for that environment
-
a fix was added to the "Inherit all variables" option in the pipeline executor transform.
