Critical Regression in KNIME 5.4.4 – Workflow Produces Different Results Compared to 5.4.3

Hello,

I’d like to report a critical issue I’ve encountered in KNIME Analytics Platform 5.4.4. I have been running the same workflow unchanged for some time, and after upgrading from 5.4.3 to 5.4.4, I observed that it now produces a different output—despite no modifications to the workflow or its settings.

Environment

• KNIME Analytics Platform 5.4.3 → Workflow runs correctly

• KNIME Analytics Platform 5.4.4 → Workflow yields inconsistent/different results

• Workflow has remained identical; data inputs, node configurations and overall structure have not been altered.
