External viewer integration
Default data viewer can be supplemented with QlikView or MS Excel, allowing users to view node output data in their chosen tool.
Future releases may provide integration with additional tools, including user-defined ones

Drag-and-drop file acquisition
Files may now be dragged from Windows Explorer directly onto the BRE canvas
File Extension Node Created Notes
*.brd BRD File Configured to read the input file
*.csv CSV File Configured to read the input file
*.xls, *.xlsx Excel File Configured to read the input file
*.txt Delimited File Configured to read the input file, using a single “Data” column for the header. If a field delimiter is specified, this “Data” value should be cleared from the optional FieldNames parameter in order to properly parse the data.
*.sql DB Query Configures SqlQuery parameter with the source SQL script
*.brn <Node> Adds the node to the current graph, as in previous versions
<Directory> Directory List Configured to read the input directory, with file pattern “*.*”

Help system enhancements
Unification– All help topics now use the same top-level menu for accessing each of the major
help components (e.g. BRE, BRAINscript).
Multimedia tutorials– New tutorials for several activities have been added. These tutorials include tech
notes, graphs, data, and video content.
HTML rendering improvements– Help uses a new style sheet which makes help easier to read and to navigate.
8
Node Editor enhancements
Node parameter groups now have logical names (e.g. “General”, “Optional”, not just “Parameters 1”, “Parameters 2”) which may be user-configured
Node parameters now provide visual cues when they are not satisfied by valid input values
Node execution status is displayed in main window
9
Excel node enhancements
Excel File (acquisition) node now supports large XLSX inputs without memory issues, and Output Excel (publishing) node can now output to XLSX format in addition to XLS
Excel Output node can update existing sheets, allowing users to configure complex pivots, charts, or other views and have them refreshed by new LAE output data sets
New Append Excel node can add new data to an existing sheet, add new sheets to an existing workbook
10
Extended environment support
VMWare/Linux deployment configuration is now officially supported
Red Hat Linux 6 is now a supported operating system
Java 1.7 is supported for Linux/Solaris server installations
11
License administration enhancements
Server connection license allocation has been simplified. Server administrators may allocate seats simply by moving users into licensed groups, removing the need for individual users to obtain and activate their own licenses.
License activation has been automated, removing the need for users to visit the License Activation Center website and download license files when they wish to install/renew software.
The server software now verifies that the core count on the hosting machine matches the L-CPU allocation in the license. Customers can now be certain that their deployments comply with their contracted computing capacity. Virtualization may be used to apportion the appropriate capacity from host machines.
