The second release of Pentaho -I’m still not at ease calling it Vantara- that is made every year, has finally came on December 2nd 2018. It almost seems like a Christmas present to BI enthusiast.
Pedro Alves published (link) a summary that list interesting improvements to Big Data functionality, PDI has a Python Executor and a Jupyter (feed) Integration. CDE can also create push-based streaming dashboards. There are lots of improvements to steps, even BA user capabilities and support of OpenJDK 8 JRE in server in these release.
