The Apache Hop PMC and community are pleased to announce the general availability of Apache Hop 2.17.0. This 2.17.0 release is the result of a massive effort by the Apache Hop community and contains about three months of work on 194 tickets.
The Hop Orchestration Platform, or Apache Hop, aims to facilitate all aspects of data and metadata orchestration. Hop is an open source data integration platform that is easy to use, fast and flexible. Hop aims to be the future of data integration. Visual development enables developers to be more productive than they can be through code. Our Design once, run anywhere workflows and pipelines can be designed in the Hop Gui and run on the Hop native engine (local or remote), or on Spark, Flink, Google Dataflow or AWS EMR through Beam. Lifecycle Management enables developers and administrators to switch between projects, environments, and purposes without leaving your train of thought. A number of highlights in the 2.17.0 release are: * Lots of UI changes and improvements: ** File explorer and design perspectives have been merged ** Projects and environment dialogs have been moved to the bottom left ** Settings perspective was redesigned ** Error highlighting * Improved git support: ** Git support is now available for projects that live in a subfolder of a git repository ** Changed files are now automatically staged ** The git-diff view now has color-coding * MongoDB, Neo4j and lots of other upgrades * New and improved documentation and translations, with Portuguese (Brazil) no longer in beta * Community growth The release is available for immediate download at: https://hop.apache.org/download/ For more details please take a look at the release announcement at: https://hop.apache.org/blog/2026/02/hop-2.17.0/ Thanks to all involved, Bart Maertens on behalf of the Apache Hop PMC
