Fixed

🔄 Tool call response token duplication was fixed by removing redundant message history additions in non-native function calling mode, resolving an issue where tool results were included twice in the context and causing 2x token consumption. #19656, Commit
🛡️ Web search domain filtering was corrected to properly block results when any resolved hostname or IP address matches a blocked domain, preventing blocked sites from appearing in search results due to permissive hostname resolution logic that previously allowed results through if any single resolved address passed the filter. #19670, #19669
🧠 Custom models based on Ollama or OpenAI now properly inherit the connection type from their base model, ensuring they appear correctly in the "Local" or "External" model selection tabs instead of only appearing under "All". #19183, Commit
🐍 SentenceTransformers embedding initialization was fixed by updating the transformers dependency to version 4.57.3, resolving a regression in v0.6.40 where document ingestion failed with "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'" errors due to a bug in transformers 4.57.2. #19512, #19513
📈 Active user count accuracy was significantly improved by replacing the socket-based USER_POOL tracking with a database-backed heartbeat mechanism, resolving long-standing issues where Redis deployments displayed inflated user counts due to stale sessions never being cleaned up on disconnect. #16074, Commit
👥 Default group assignment now applies consistently across all user registration methods including OAuth/SSO, LDAP, and admin-created users, fixing an issue where the "DEFAULT_GROUP_ID" setting was only being applied to users who signed up via the email/password signup form. #19685
🔦 Model list filtering in workspaces was corrected to properly include models shared with user groups, ensuring members can view models they have write access to through group permissions. #19461, Commit
🖼️ User profile image display in preview contexts was fixed by resolving a Pydantic validation error that prevented proper rendering. Commit
🔒 Redis TLS connection failures were resolved by updating the python-socketio dependency to version 5.15.0, restoring support for the "rediss://" URL schema. #19480, #19488
📝 MCP tool server configuration was corrected to properly handle the "Function Name Filter List" as both string and list types, preventing AttributeError when the field is empty and ensuring backward compatibility. #19486, Commit, Commit
📎 Web page attachment failures causing TypeError on metadata checks were resolved by correcting async threadpool parameter passing in vector database operations. #19493, Commit
💾 Model allowlist persistence in multi-worker deployments was fixed by implementing Redis-based shared state for the internal models dictionary, ensuring configuration changes are consistently visible across all worker processes. #19395, Commit
⏳ Chat history infinite loading was prevented by enhancing message data structure to properly track parent message relationships, resolving issues where missing parentId fields caused perpetual loading states. #19225, Commit
🩹 Database migration robustness was improved by automatically detecting and correcting missing primary key constraints on the user table, ensuring successful schema upgrades for databases with non-standard configurations. #19487, Commit
🏷️ OAuth group assignment now updates correctly on first login when users transition from admin to user role, ensuring group memberships reflect immediately when group management is enabled. #19475, #19476
💡 Knowledge base file tooltips now properly display the parent collection name when referencing files with the hash symbol, preventing confusion between identically-named files in different collections. #19491, Commit

📦 Knowledge API batch file addition endpoint was corrected to properly handle async operations, resolving 500 Internal Server Error responses when adding multiple files simultaneously. #19538, Commit
🤖 Embedding model auto-update functionality was fixed to properly respect the "RAG_EMBEDDING_MODEL_AUTO_UPDATE" setting by correctly passing the flag to the model path resolver, ensuring models update as expected when the auto-update option is enabled. #19687
📉 API response payload sizes were dramatically reduced by removing base64-encoded profile images from most endpoints, eliminating multi-megabyte responses caused by high-resolution avatars and enabling better browser caching. #19519, Commit
📞 Redundant API calls on the admin user overview page were eliminated by consolidating reactive statements, reducing four duplicate requests to a single efficient call and significantly improving page load performance. #19509, Commit
🧹 Duplicate API calls on the workspace models page were eliminated by removing redundant model list fetching, reducing two identical requests to a single call and improving page responsiveness. #19517, Commit
🔘 The model valves button was corrected to prevent unintended form submission by adding explicit button type attribute, ensuring it no longer triggers message sending when the input area contains text. #19534
🗑️ Ollama model deletion was fixed by correcting the request payload format and ensuring the model selector properly displays the placeholder option. Commit
🎨 Image generation in temporary chats was fixed by correctly handling local chat sessions that are not persisted to the database. Commit
🕵️‍♂️ Audit logging was fixed by correctly awaiting the async user authentication call, resolving failures where coroutine objects were passed instead of user data. #19658, Commit
🌙 Dark mode select dropdown styling was corrected to use proper background colors, fixing an issue where dropdown borders and hover states appeared white instead of matching the dark theme. #19693, #19442
🔍 Milvus vector database query filtering was fixed by correcting string quote handling in filter expressions and using the proper parameter name for queries, resolving false "duplicate content detected" errors that prevented uploading multiple files to knowledge bases. #19602, #18119, #16345, #17088, #18485
🆙 Milvus multitenancy vector database was updated to use query_iterator() for improved robustness and consistency with the standard Milvus implementation, fixing the same false duplicate detection errors and improving handling of large result sets in multi-tenant deployments. #19695

Changed

⚠️ 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.
👮 Channel creation is now restricted to administrators only, with the channel add button hidden for regular users to maintain organizational control over communication channels. Commit
➖ The active user count indicator was removed from the bottom-left user menu in the sidebar to streamline the interface. Commit
🗂️ The user table was restructured with API keys migrated to a dedicated table supporting future multi-key functionality, OAuth data storage converted to a JSON structure enabling multiple identity providers per user account, and internal column types optimized from TEXT to JSON for the "info" and "settings" fields, with automatic migration preserving all existing data and associations. #19573
🔄 The knowledge base API was restructured to support the new file relationship model.
