4. New Direct Access gateway version 1.6.7
Direct Access gateway 1.6.7 introduces new capabilities and resolves several issues, including security vulnerabilities.
Support for automatic port allocation when working with process isolation

9. Data products catalog
With Qlik Talend Cloud, users can unlock data value through data products, a unique product-centric approach to streamlining end-to-end data management.
Product-centric approach in data management
Data products are valuable because data product teams can quickly produce high-quality, curated, domain-centric data assets, that can be easily accessed by data consumers and leveraged in several business use cases across the organization. This closes the gap between what data producers are putting together and what data consumers need. Just like real products, data products are built iteratively and have a lifecycle – from creating a data product to managing the quality of the data product, activating it into the data marketplace, and deactivating it when they are no longer needed.
Key Features
Qlik Talend Cloud brings together an integrated data management experience – from data integration to transformation, data quality, and governance. The data product catalog in Qlik Talend Cloud offers several key capabilities to manage the data product lifecycle end-to-end.
