General Updates

MindsDB uses the Lightwood ML engine by default unless specified differently in the CREATE MODEL statement. As such, we keep improving it. Now, the Lightwood engine is at version 23.5.1.0. Learn more by following the Lightwood docs.

We’ve also made updates to the LangChain ML engine.

The support for Python version 3.7 is dropped. Currently, MindsDB requires Python 3.8 or 3.9.

The REST API endpoints are now well-documented. You can use it to manage databases, tables, models, views, and more. Check out our REST API docs here.

We’ve created a cache for data handlers that keeps connections opened during TTL time from the handler's last use.

As MindsDB grows, we continuously update the documentation. We’ve made a major restructure to our docs, including dividing them into sections for better readability.

REST API Endpoints

We’ve got new REST API endpoints for databases and views.

You can now fetch all databases connected to MindsDB using the GET /api/databases endpoint. We provide the POST and PUT endpoints to create or update a database. And to delete a database, you can call the DELETE /api/databases/<database_name> endpoint, passing your database name.

The same goes for views. You can fetch, create, update, or delete them using the REST API endpoints. All these endpoints include a project name where the view resides. For example, to get a single view, you can call the GET /api/projects/<project_name>/views/<view_name> endpoint. To learn more about MindsDB projects, check out our docs here.
