### [`v0.8.0`](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/releases/tag/v0.8.0)
[Compare Source](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/compare/v0.8.0...v0.8.0)
#### \[0.8.0] - 2026-02-12
> \[!CAUTION]
> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT for Multi-Instance Deployments**: This release includes database schema changes; multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployments must update all instances simultaneously rather than performing rolling updates, as running mixed versions will cause application failures due to schema incompatibility between old and new instances.
> \[!WARNING]
> ⚠️ **Long-Running Database Migration**: This release includes a migration for the `chat_message` table that can take a significant amount of time to complete, especially in larger deployments with extensive chat histories. Please plan for adequate downtime and allow the migration to finish completely without interruption.
##### Added

##### Changed
- ‼️ **Database Migration Required** — This release includes database schema changes; multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployments must update all instances simultaneously rather than performing rolling updates, as running mixed versions will cause application failures due to schema incompatibility between old and new instances.
- ⚠️ **Chat Message Table Migration** — This release includes a new chat message table migration that can take a significant amount of time to complete in larger deployments with extensive chat histories. Administrators should plan for adequate maintenance windows and allow the migration to complete fully without interruption. Running the migration with insufficient time or resources may result in data integrity issues.
- 🔗 **Prompt ID-based URLs.** Prompts now use unique ID-based URLs instead of command-based URLs, allowing more flexible command renaming without breaking saved links or integrations. [#​20945](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20945)

##### Changed
- ‼️ **Database Migration Required** — This release includes database schema changes; multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployments must update all instances simultaneously rather than performing rolling updates, as running mixed versions will cause application failures due to schema incompatibility between old and new instances.
- ⚠️ **Chat Message Table Migration** — This release includes a new chat message table migration that can take a significant amount of time to complete in larger deployments with extensive chat histories. Administrators should plan for adequate maintenance windows and allow the migration to complete fully without interruption. Running the migration with insufficient time or resources may result in data integrity issues.
- 🔗 **Prompt ID-based URLs.** Prompts now use unique ID-based URLs instead of command-based URLs, allowing more flexible command renaming without breaking saved links or integrations. [#​20945](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20945)

##### Changed
- ⚠️ This release includes a major overhaul of database connection handling in the backend that requires all instances in multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployments to be updated simultaneously; running mixed versions will cause failures due to incompatible database connection management between old and new instances.
- 📝 Administrators who previously used the standalone "Markdown (Header)" text splitter must now switch to "character" or "token" mode with the new "ENABLE\_MARKDOWN\_HEADER\_TEXT\_SPLITTER" toggle enabled, as document chunking now applies markdown header splitting as a preprocessing step before character or token splitting. [Commit](d3a682759f), [Commit](18a33a079b), [Commit](08bf4670ec)
- 🖼️ Users no longer see the "Generate Image" action button in chat message interfaces; custom function should be used. [Commit](f0829ba6e6)
- 🔗 Administrators will find the Admin Evaluations page at the new URL "/admin/evaluations/feedback" instead of "/admin/evaluations/feedbacks" to use the correct uncountable form of the word. [#​20296](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20296)
- 🔐 Scripts or integrations that directly called Image Generation, Web Search, or Audio APIs while those features were disabled in the Admin UI will now receive 403 Forbidden errors, as backend permission enforcement has been added to match frontend restrictions. [#​20471](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20471)
- 👥 The default group sharing permission changed from "Members" to "Anyone", meaning users can now share content to any group configured with "Anyone" permission regardless of their membership in that group. [Commit](ca514cd3ed)

##### Changed
- ⚠️ This release includes a major overhaul of database connection handling in the backend that requires all instances in multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployments to be updated simultaneously; running mixed versions will cause failures due to incompatible database connection management between old and new instances.
- 📝 Administrators who previously used the standalone "Markdown (Header)" text splitter must now switch to "character" or "token" mode with the new "ENABLE\_MARKDOWN\_HEADER\_TEXT\_SPLITTER" toggle enabled, as document chunking now applies markdown header splitting as a preprocessing step before character or token splitting. [Commit](d3a682759f), [Commit](18a33a079b), [Commit](08bf4670ec)
- 🖼️ Users no longer see the "Generate Image" action button in chat message interfaces; custom function should be used. [Commit](f0829ba6e6)
- 🔗 Administrators will find the Admin Evaluations page at the new URL "/admin/evaluations/feedback" instead of "/admin/evaluations/feedbacks" to use the correct uncountable form of the word. [#​20296](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20296)
- 🔐 Scripts or integrations that directly called Image Generation, Web Search, or Audio APIs while those features were disabled in the Admin UI will now receive 403 Forbidden errors, as backend permission enforcement has been added to match frontend restrictions. [#​20471](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20471)
- 👥 The default group sharing permission changed from "Members" to "Anyone", meaning users can now share content to any group configured with "Anyone" permission regardless of their membership in that group. [Commit](ca514cd3ed)
