Label Studio 1.7 Release Notes

The Label Studio 1.7 Open Source release now supports larger audio files, millisecond-level controls, and an advanced rendering engine among new features that put Label Studio at the forefront of data labeling for audio files. This release also introduces simplified ways to deploy and manage your Label Studio application using full infrastructure provisioning with Terraform scripts and scalable service management on Kubernetes with Helm Charts deployment.

New Feature and Enhancement

Label Studio 1.7.0 includes the following new features and enhancements.

• Starting with this release, you can install Label Studio to your cloud infrastructure using the Terraform scripts and Helm Charts.
  • Introduce Terraform modules for provisioning Label Studio/Label Studio Enterprise on Amazon Web Services(AWS).
  • Launch the Heartex library for Kubernetes infrastructure using the Kubernetes Helm charts. Now, you can scale your Label Studio deployments with Kubernetes and Helm orchestration features.
• The audio labeling platform introduces the enhancements of the audio player with the ability to annotate audio files up to two hours in length, provide fine-grain annotation controls, and implement an efficient rendering engine that displays the audio waveforms while remaining performant, even with large, and multi-hour audio files. You can now play and navigate through an audio waveform by precisely managing the labeled regions. Regions and relations are simple to manage and manipulate on the audio waveform and interface.
