0.9.5

Added

• 🛡️ Redirect-based SSRF protection. All outbound HTTP requests now block 3xx redirects by default via a new AIOHTTP_CLIENT_ALLOW_REDIRECTS environment variable, preventing redirect-based SSRF where a public URL silently redirects to internal addresses (RFC 1918, loopback, cloud-metadata endpoints). Affected call sites include web fetch, image loading, OAuth discovery, tool server execution, and code interpreter login. #24491
• 🛡️ Iframe content security policy. Administrators can now configure a Content-Security-Policy for all srcdoc iframes (Artifacts, tool embeds, file previews, citation modals) via the IFRAME_CSP environment variable, restricting what LLM-generated or user-uploaded HTML can load and execute inside previews. Commit
• 🎛️ Granular markdown rendering controls. Users can now independently disable Markdown rendering for user messages and assistant responses from Interface settings, preventing unintended formatting when pasting text that contains Markdown-sensitive characters. Commit
• 🔧 Terminal proxy response headers. Administrators can now inject custom response headers into terminal proxy responses via the TERMINAL_PROXY_HEADERS environment variable (JSON object), enabling deployment-specific security headers like sandbox policies for proxied content. Commit
• 🔌 Channel streaming and tool support. Mentioning a model in a Channel now streams responses in real time and supports the full chat completion pipeline, including native and default function calling, built-in tools (web search, image generation), user tools, MCP tools, filters, and RAG knowledge injection — the same capabilities available in standard chats.

Fixed

• 📝 Notes create and open reliability. Creating new notes and opening existing notes no longer fails with a TypeError caused by is_pinned being passed to the SQLAlchemy model on create, and passed twice to NoteResponse on read. #24484, #24486
• 🔐 Skill public sharing permission enforcement. Creating or updating skills now filters access grants through the sharing.public_skills permission, preventing non-admin users from making skills publicly accessible without the required permission. #24494
• 🔐 Calendar public sharing permission enforcement. Creating or updating calendars now filters access grants through a new sharing.public_calendars permission, preventing users from making calendars publicly readable or writable without explicit admin-granted sharing permission. #24493
• 🔐 Feedback user attribution spoofing. Submitting evaluation feedback can no longer forge the user_id field through mass-assignment, preventing authenticated users from attributing ratings to other users and corrupting Elo leaderboard rankings and admin feedback exports. #24508
• 🛡️ Image URL redirect-based SSRF. Chat messages containing image URLs no longer follow 3xx redirects to internal addresses during base64 conversion, closing the most reachable redirect-based SSRF variant that required no special permissions or feature flags. #24524
• 🛡️ Collection write access on file processing. The process_file and process_files_batch retrieval endpoints now enforce collection write-access checks before embedding content, preventing authenticated users from injecting file content into another user's knowledge-base collection. #24524
• 🔐 Tool source code update authorization. Updating a tool's Python source code now requires workspace.tools or workspace.tools_import permission, preventing users with only a write-access grant from overwriting executable tool code while still allowing metadata edits. #24513
• 🔐 Channel message ownership enforcement. Updating or deleting messages in group and DM channels now requires message ownership, preventing channel members from tampering with or silently removing other members' messages. #24506
• 🔐 Channel pin write permission. Pinning and unpinning messages on standard channels now requires write permission instead of read permission, preventing read-only users from modifying pinned content. #24521
• 🛡️ Image generation URL validation. Generated image URLs are now validated through validate_url() before fetching, aligning the defense-in-depth posture with sibling image-loading paths. #24518
• 🔐 Model params exposure for read-only users. The per-model API endpoint now strips the params dict (including system prompts) from responses to callers without write access, preventing read-only users from viewing admin-curated model configuration. #24525
• 🛡️ URL parser SSRF bypass. URL validation now rejects backslash, tab, CR, and LF characters that cause urllib and requests/aiohttp to disagree on the target host, closing a parser-confusion SSRF bypass. #24534
• 🛡️ Profile image MIME-type allowlist. Serving profile images from data URIs now enforces a strict MIME-type allowlist (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP by default, configurable via PROFILE_IMAGE_ALLOWED_MIME_TYPES) and sets X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, preventing stored-XSS through SVG or other executable content types. Commit
• 🔐 File ownership in folder and knowledge attachments. Attaching files to folders or knowledge bases now verifies per-file read access, and folder file lists in chat middleware are filtered to entries the caller can read, preventing unauthorized file content from being injected into RAG context. Commit
• 🔐 Shared chat access for owners and admins. Chat owners can now view and clone their own shared chats without requiring an explicit access grant, and administrators can manage shared chat access controls on any chat. Commit, Commit
• 🧵 Legacy chat history self-healing. Loading legacy conversations now automatically detects broken parent-link graphs in migrated message records, merges missing messages from the embedded JSON history, and backfills them to the normalized table so future loads use the fast path without data loss. Commit
• 🎛️ Filter selector reactivity. Model filter checkboxes now derive state reactively from the current filter list and selected IDs instead of capturing a one-time snapshot at mount, so checkboxes update correctly when model contexts or filter configurations change at runtime. Commit
• 🌐 Portuguese (Brazil) translation updates. Translations for newly added UI items were added along with a consistency pass across existing entries. #24503

Changed

• 🧹 Removed unauthenticated retrieval status endpoint. The unauthenticated GET /api/v1/retrieval/ status endpoint has been removed as dead code — retrieval configuration is already available through authenticated admin endpoints. #24497
• 📋 PR template issue requirement. Pull requests now require a linked Issue or Discussion reference, ensuring better traceability for all contributions. PRs without a linked issue or discussion may be closed without review.

0.9.4

Fixed

• 📜 Chat scroll position on load. Opening a chat conversation now reliably scrolls to the bottom of the message history, fixing a regression caused by content-visibility: auto where estimated element sizes prevented the initial scroll from reaching the true bottom.

0.9.3

Added

• 🔇 Voice Mode mute control. Voice Mode now includes a dedicated mute toggle with an "M" shortcut and auto-unmute after assistant playback, so you can prevent accidental interruptions from background noise without leaving the call overlay. Commit, #23832

• ⚡ Faster chat history loading. Chat history maps now load from normalized message records when available, reducing overhead for large conversations while preserving fallback behavior for legacy chats. Commit, #23159
• 🗑️ Delete from conversation menu. You can now delete the current conversation directly from the chat menu with a confirmation step, so cleanup is faster without searching through the full chat list. Commit, #24329
• ⬆️ Scroll to Top shortcut. Long conversations now include a Scroll to Top action in the chat menu when you are away from the top, making it much faster to jump back to the beginning of a chat. Commit, #24133
• 📅 Calendar creation flow. Users can now create calendars from a dedicated modal and a quick-add action in the calendar sidebar, making calendar setup faster from the calendar workspace. Commit, Commit
• 🧭 Unified model unload controls. Administrators can now unload running models from the model selector across supported providers, with loaded-state indicators shown for Ollama and llama.cpp models. Commit
• ⚡ Health check responsiveness. Health and readiness probes now avoid blocking database calls and skip sync session commit handling on probe paths, improving responsiveness and reducing false unready transitions during database pressure. #24380, #24384
• 🎛️ Playground controls panel. The Playground now includes a dedicated Controls toggle so you can adjust parameters like temperature and related settings per chat run without changing model-level defaults. Commit, #24103
• 🎙️ STT file extension controls. Administrators can now configure which audio file extensions are accepted for speech-to-text uploads, helping enforce safer and more predictable upload policies. Commit
• 📷 Remembered call camera selection. Voice call overlay now remembers your last selected camera and restores it automatically when available, so you do not need to reselect it every time you start voice mode. Commit, #24416
• 👥 User group prompt variable. System and template prompts now support the "{{USER_GROUPS}}" variable, which expands to the user’s group memberships so prompts can adapt to role- or access-based context automatically. Commit, #24462
• 🔐 Public chat sharing permission control. Administrators can now control whether users are allowed to create publicly shareable chats through a dedicated permission setting. Commit
• 🔐 Profile image forwarding control. Administrators can now disable external profile image URL forwarding with the "ENABLE_PROFILE_IMAGE_URL_FORWARDING" setting to prevent browser metadata leaks to third-party servers. #24420
• 🏷️ Dynamic header template variables. Administrators can now use chat, message, and user template variables in custom connection and tool server headers so each request can carry per-conversation context automatically. Commit, #24164
• 🛂 MCP OAuth server URL setting. Static OAuth tool server setups can now define a separate OAuth server URL, making discovery and client registration work when authentication endpoints are hosted separately from the tool server URL. Commit, #24164, #24216
• ⚡ Faster memory query performance. Per-user memory lookups and deletions now run much faster at scale because the memory user filter is indexed for existing and new installations. Commit, #23836
• 🚀 Smarter function dependency installs. Function dependencies are now skipped when they were already preinstalled and unchanged, reducing first-load delays and repeated package installation churn after startup. Commit, #24166
• 🔎 Brave LLM Context web search. Administrators can now choose Brave LLM Context as a web search provider to retrieve richer grounded passages with a configurable context token budget. Commit, #24120
• 🗂️ Open Terminal date sorting. Open Terminal now includes sort controls for name and date, with directory-first ordering and modified-time visibility to make file browsing faster. Commit, #24425
• 🎤 Voice mode prompt toggle. Administrators can now explicitly enable or disable the Voice Mode custom prompt behavior from Interface settings, giving finer control over how voice replies are guided. Commit
• 🧮 LaTeX copy shortcut. You can now click rendered LaTeX expressions to copy the raw formula to your clipboard, making it easier to reuse equations outside chat. Commit, #24244
• ✨ Smoother rich text editing. The message composer now defers formatting toolbar refresh work to the next animation frame, reducing typing jank while formatting controls stay accurate. Commit, #24013
• 🖼️ Arena model profile images. Arena models can now reliably display configured profile images instead of falling back to the default icon. Commit, #24412
• 🔄 Replaceable tool embed updates. Pipes and Tools can now overwrite previously emitted rich-UI embeds in-place by passing a replace flag on the embeds event, enabling live dashboards and progress panels that update without stacking duplicate entries.
• ✏️ Assistant response editing and continuation. You can now edit and restructure assistant output items — including reasoning blocks, tool calls, and text content — from a dedicated editor view, and continue generating from the edited state so the model receives full prior context.
• 🔄 General improvements. Various improvements were implemented across the application to enhance performance, stability, and security.
• 🌐 Translation updates. Translations for Chinese, Catalan, Filipino, and Korean were enhanced and expanded.

Fixed

• 🧵 Background code execution reliability. Code execution no longer hangs indefinitely when you switch conversations or browser tabs during a run, and disconnected or inactive sessions now fail with a clear timeout error instead of endless processing. Commit, #24089
• 🎙️ Voice recording MIME fallback support. Voice recording now tries a broader set of browser-supported audio formats and resets halted audio playback cleanly, improving microphone capture reliability in browsers where recording previously failed to start. Commit, #24162
• 🧠 Direct-connection task generation reliability. Title, tags, follow-up, emoji, query, and related task-generation endpoints now work correctly when chats use direct-connection models instead of failing with model-not-found errors. Commit, Commit, #24092
• 🔧 Parameterized URL tool readiness. New chats now wait for model defaults to finish applying before auto-submit, preventing early requests that can miss configured external tools. Commit, #24176
• 🚦 MCP cleanup response reliability. Successful native MCP tool calls no longer get replaced by a 500 "No response returned" error during cleanup, so valid chat responses are now returned consistently. #24105
• 🧵 Active task state recovery. Chat input no longer stays blocked by unrelated background tasks after a response is already complete, and interrupted assistant replies are now marked done more reliably. Commit, #23264
• 📌 Per-user note pinning behavior. Pinned notes are now tracked per user instead of with a shared note-level flag, so one person’s pin changes no longer affect everyone else. Commit
• 🧱 Custom header value coercion. Custom header values are now converted to text before requests are sent, preventing request failures when non-text values are configured. Commit, #24164
• 🔗 HTTP share link copy fallback. Copy Link now works reliably on HTTP deployments by using a selection-based fallback when secure clipboard APIs are unavailable. Commit, #24135
• 🧵 Regeneration loading lock recovery. Chats no longer get stuck in a permanent loading state after failed regenerations because invalid message-tree references are repaired before rendering. Commit, #24424
• 📸 Complete chat image capture. Downloaded chat snapshots now include all messages more reliably through visibility overrides and layout timing improvements during capture. Commit, Commit, #24088
• 🗓️ Calendar deletion lock handling. Calendar deletion now avoids SQLite write-lock contention by revoking calendar access grants in a separate transaction after calendar and event removal. Commit
• 🧩 Filter and internal tool coexistence. Internal tools now remain available when filters add provider-native tools, so filter-added tools no longer replace the built-in tool set during request processing. Commit, #24237

• 🌍 Web search proxy compatibility. DuckDuckGo search now respects configured proxy environments more reliably, and trust-env behavior defaults to enabled so proxied web loading does not fail unexpectedly. Commit, #23810
• 🧾 Final markdown render flush. Streaming markdown now forces an immediate final parse when generation completes, preventing stale or partially rendered final output. Commit, #24088
• 🛡️ Webhook avatar URL validation. Channel webhook profile image URLs are now validated before saving, preventing invalid or unsafe avatar URLs from being accepted. #24370
• 📝 System prompt editor scroll stability. Editing large system prompts no longer jumps the page back to the top, so you can continue editing long model prompts without losing your place. Commit, #23999
• 🔎 Knowledge content search matching. Knowledge file search now matches both file titles and file content, so relevant files are easier to find even when the keyword is not in the filename. Commit, #24297
• ⚡ Faster prompt tag loading. Prompt tag filters now load much faster for non-admin users by fetching only accessible tags directly, avoiding per-prompt permission checks and unnecessary prompt data loading. #24287, #24258
• 🧾 Citation overflow badge readability. Citation overflow badges now keep multi-digit counts readable in a single compact bubble, preventing wrapped or cramped display when many sources are attached. Commit, #24391
• 🌐 Yandex result parsing guard. Yandex web search no longer fails when some XML fields are missing in individual results, so valid search responses continue to return usable sources instead of dropping to no results. Commit, #24243
• 🎧 Safer voice transcription uploads. Empty or failed voice conversions are now rejected with a clear error instead of continuing as malformed audio, reducing failed transcription attempts from corrupted or near-empty recordings. Commit
• 🎚️ Safer chunked STT processing. Chunked transcription now limits worker concurrency when no external STT engine is configured, reducing failed transcription behavior caused by overly parallel local processing. Commit
• 📈 Imported chat analytics coverage. Imported ChatGPT conversations now carry proper model and timestamp metadata and reliably write imported messages into analytics-backed storage, so imported chats are reflected correctly in Admin Analytics totals and model usage views. Commit, #24263
• 📎 Knowledge collection persistence. Knowledge collections selected with the chat input selector now remain attached after reloads and chat switches, so attached context no longer disappears between sessions. Commit, #24142
• 🧹 Embedding model name trimming. Embedding model names entered in Documents settings now automatically trim surrounding whitespace, preventing silent embedding failures caused by accidental trailing spaces. Commit, #24090
• 🔊 PCM TTS playback compatibility. Text-to-speech audio returned as PCM is now converted to MP3 before delivery, so speech playback works correctly with providers that return raw PCM audio. Commit, #24143
• 🪟 Windows PostgreSQL startup compatibility. Windows pip installs using PostgreSQL now start reliably with psycopg async by using a compatible event loop policy instead of the default Proactor loop. Commit, #24152
• ⏱️ MCP OAuth timeout control. OAuth token exchanges for MCP tool server connections now respect the configurable client timeout setting, reducing callback failures with slower providers. Commit, #24138
• 📄 PDF text search restoration. PDF previews now include a proper text layer so browser text selection and find-in-page search work again instead of rendering only image-like pages. Commit, #24149

• ☁️ OneDrive option visibility. OneDrive personal and business upload options now appear only when their respective client IDs are configured, preventing unavailable options from showing in attachment menus. Commit, #24411
• 🧠 Reasoning content leakage prevention. Tool-call round-trip messages no longer wrap reasoning text in <think> tags inside the content field, preventing raw markup from leaking into chat output for models whose templates don't strip think tags (e.g. Gemma 4). #23844
• 🖥️ Terminal sidebar auto-open guard. The terminal sidebar no longer auto-opens on chat load when OpenTerminal is disabled, because stale terminal IDs saved on models or in localStorage are now validated against available terminal servers before use.
• 🔁 Single-confirmation connection deletion. Deleting OpenAI, Ollama, tool server, and terminal server connections now shows exactly one confirmation dialog instead of two, because redundant outer confirmation wrappers were removed from all connection components.
• 🧵 Reliable background task cleanup. The chat task lifecycle now deregisters completed tasks before checking for remaining siblings, eliminating the off-by-one timing issue that could leave the stop button stuck or dismiss the sidebar activity spinner too early.

Changed

• ⚠️ Database Migrations: This release includes database schema changes; we strongly recommend backing up your database and all associated data before upgrading in production environments. If you are running a multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployment, all instances must be updated simultaneously, rolling updates are not supported and will cause application failures due to schema incompatibility.
• 🚪 Signout request method. The signout endpoint now requires POST instead of GET, so custom clients and integrations must update logout calls accordingly. #24420

0.9.2

Added

• 🧠 PaddleOCR-vl document extraction. Administrators can now use PaddleOCR-vl as a content extraction engine for document processing, with configurable API URL and token settings in document retrieval configuration. #23945

• ⏰ Calendar event reminder customization. Calendar events now support a configurable reminder_minutes parameter, allowing models to set custom reminder durations instead of the default 10-minute notification.
• 🔑 Custom API key header. Administrators can now configure a custom header name for API key authentication via the CUSTOM_API_KEY_HEADER environment variable, enabling compatibility with reverse proxies that use the Authorization header for their own authentication.
• 🔌 OAuth session disconnection. Users can now disconnect OAuth sessions for specific providers (e.g., MCP connections) through a new API endpoint, enabling cleaner re-authentication workflows.
• 📚 Source overflow indicator. The Sources button now shows a +N badge when more than three sources are available, so hidden sources are clearly indicated in chat responses. #23918
• ⚡ Model list performance. Model list API responses now strip base64 profile image data from paginated results, and model tags are fetched via a dedicated efficient query instead of loading all models. This significantly reduces payload sizes and improves workspace Models page responsiveness.
• ⚡ Model avatar cache reuse. Default model profile images now redirect to a shared static path instead of reading files from disk per-request, reducing repeated I/O and improving loading efficiency when multiple models use the fallback icon. #24015
• 🚀 Faster splash image loading. Splash screen images are now prioritized earlier during page load with preload links, improving first-load LCP behavior and reducing delayed image discovery. #24011
• 🧵 Streaming markdown performance stability. Streaming responses now stay more memory-efficient by preventing repeated cleanup callback registration during markdown updates. #24048
• 📊 Telemetry gauge reliability. OpenTelemetry user gauge callbacks now use synchronous database queries directly, eliminating cross-thread async bridging issues that could cause silent failures in metric collection.
• 🔄 General improvements. Various improvements were implemented across the application to enhance performance, stability, and security.
• 🌐 Translation updates. Translations for Finnish, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), and Dutch were enhanced and expanded.

Fixed

• 🔧 MCP task cancellation stability. Interrupted MCP tool calls no longer cause CPU spikes or runaway cleanup behavior. MCP client disconnection now runs in the same asyncio task as connection, respecting cancel scope constraints, and chat-active events are properly shielded during cancellation.
• 🧠 Persistent chat skill injection. Skills mentioned in persisted chats now inject into the system prompt reliably. Skill ID extraction from <$skillId|label> message tags is now handled server-side, and tags are stripped before messages reach the model.
• 🗄️ Async database driver migration. The async database backend now uses psycopg (v3) instead of asyncpg, eliminating brittle SSL parameter translation and supporting native libpq connection strings including sslmode, options, and target_session_attrs without any stripping or conversion.
• 🐳 Docker ARM64 reliability. Docker images built for arm64 via QEMU cross-compilation no longer produce 0-byte corrupted Python dependencies. UV_LINK_MODE=copy is now set in the Dockerfile to force reliable file installation.
• 🛠️ Throttle request handling. Request handling no longer fails when user activity status updates are throttled with a non-zero interval. #23979
• ✍️ Rich text extension conflicts. Rich text editing no longer triggers duplicate extension conflicts for lists and code blocks, improving editor stability. #24009
• 🔇 Fetch URL null content guard. The fetch_url built-in tool now safely handles None content returned by web loaders instead of crashing with a TypeError.
• 🌐 OAuth discovery fallback. OAuth protected resource discovery now falls back to well-known RFC 9728 URIs when the WWW-Authenticate header doesn't contain a resource_metadata link, improving compatibility with more MCP server implementations.
• 🔐 Session token resolution. Session user endpoints now gracefully handle missing Authorization headers by falling back to cookie and request state tokens, preventing errors when used behind forward-auth proxies.
• 🚫 Direct API error responses. Chat completion requests without a WebSocket channel (direct API calls) now return proper HTTP error responses instead of silently returning null on failure.
• 📡 Cancelled response stream cleanup. Cancelled chat generation now explicitly closes the upstream response body iterator, preventing orphaned async generators from spinning in anyio internals.
• 🔒 Model profile image path safety. Model profile image endpoints now validate and sanitize static asset redirect paths, preventing path traversal through encoded dots or malicious URL patterns.
• 📊 RAG template validation UI. The Documents settings page now displays a warning when RAG templates contain multiple [context] or {{CONTEXT}} placeholders, helping administrators avoid accidental redundant context injection.
• 🧩 Automation model detection. The create_automation tool now correctly detects the current model ID even when model_id is not yet set in metadata, falling back to the model dict.
• 🔄 MCP resource content handling. MCP tool results with the resource content type are now correctly detected and their resource.text payload is extracted, instead of being silently ignored.
• 🔄 Ollama and OpenAI metadata forwarding. Ollama and OpenAI proxy routes now forward request metadata to downstream handlers, ensuring consistent context propagation.
• 🧹 Browser-native message virtualization. The custom JavaScript-based message culling system (spacers, height caching, scroll listeners) was replaced with CSS content-visibility: auto, letting the browser natively skip rendering of off-screen messages without destroying component trees. This eliminates scroll jump artifacts and mount/destroy thrashing while preserving memory efficiency in long conversations.
• 📻 Redis notification compatibility. Redis pub/sub now handles missing or incompatible client_name support more gracefully, preventing connection errors with certain Redis configurations.

Changed

• ⚙️ psycopg v3 async driver. The async database driver has been migrated from asyncpg to psycopg (v3). This is a transparent change for most deployments, but custom connection strings with asyncpg-specific parameters may need adjustment.
• 🔑 Brotli dependency update. Brotli has been updated to address CVE-2025-6176.
• 🖥️ Windows startup script. The Windows startup batch script has been updated for improved compatibility.

0.9.1

Fixed

• 🐛 Missing aiosqlite dependency. Fixed a startup crash (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aiosqlite') when installing Open WebUI via pip or uv by adding the missing aiosqlite package to pyproject.toml. The dependency was listed in requirements.txt but not in the published package metadata, so it was not installed automatically. #23916
• 🐛 Missing asyncpg dependency. Added the missing asyncpg package to pyproject.toml to prevent the same startup crash for PostgreSQL users. Like aiosqlite, it was present in requirements.txt but absent from the published package dependencies.

0.9.0

[!CAUTION] ⚠️ Database Migrations: This release includes database schema changes; we strongly recommend backing up your database and all associated data before upgrading in production environments.

0.6.26

[0.6.26] - 2025-08-28

Added

• 🛂 Granular Chat Interaction Permissions: Added fine-grained permission controls for individual chat actions including "Continue Response", "Regenerate Response", "Rate Response", and "Delete Messages". Administrators can now configure these permissions per user group or set system defaults via environment variables, providing enhanced security and governance by preventing potential system prompt leakage through response continuation and enabling precise control over user interactions with AI responses.
• 🧠 Custom Reasoning Tags Configuration: Added configurable reasoning tag detection for AI model responses, allowing administrators and users to customize how the system identifies and processes reasoning content. Users can now define custom reasoning tag pairs, use default tags like "think" and "reasoning", or disable reasoning detection entirely through the Advanced Parameters interface, providing enhanced control over AI thought process visibility.
• 📱 Pull-to-Refresh Support: Added pull-to-refresh functionality allowing user to easily refresh the interface by pulling down on the navbar area. This resolves timeout issues that occurred when temporarily switching away from the app during long AI response generations, eliminating the need to close and relaunch the PWA.
• 📁 Configurable File Upload Processing Mode: Added "process_in_background" query parameter to the file upload API endpoint, allowing clients to choose between asynchronous (default) and synchronous file processing. Setting "process_in_background=false" forces the upload request to wait until extraction and embedding complete, returning immediately usable files and simplifying integration for backend API consumers that prefer blocking calls over polling workflows.
• 🔐 Azure Document Intelligence DefaultAzureCredential Support: Added support for authenticating with Azure Document Intelligence using DefaultAzureCredential in addition to API key authentication, enabling seamless integration with Azure Entra ID and managed identity authentication for enterprise Azure environments.
• 🔐 Authentication Bootstrapping Enhancements: Added "ENABLE_INITIAL_ADMIN_SIGNUP" environment variable and "?form=true" URL parameter to enable initial admin user creation and forced login form display in SSO-only deployments. This resolves bootstrap issues where administrators couldn't create the first user when login forms were disabled, allowing proper initialization of SSO-configured deployments without requiring temporary configuration changes.
• ⚡ Query Generation Caching: Added "ENABLE_QUERIES_CACHE" environment variable to enable request-scoped caching of generated search queries. When both web search and file retrieval are active, queries generated for web search are automatically reused for file retrieval, eliminating duplicate LLM API calls and reducing token usage and costs while maintaining search quality.
• 🔧 Configurable Tool Call Retry Limit: Added "CHAT_RESPONSE_MAX_TOOL_CALL_RETRIES" environment variable to control the maximum number of sequential tool calls allowed before safety stopping a chat session. This replaces the previous hardcoded limit of 10, enabling administrators to configure higher limits for complex workflows requiring extensive tool interactions.
• 📦 Slim Docker Image Variant: Added new slim Docker image option via "USE_SLIM" build argument that excludes embedded AI models and Ollama installation, reducing image size by approximately 1GB. This variant enables faster image pulls and deployments for environments where AI models are managed externally, particularly beneficial for auto-scaling clusters and distributed deployments.
• 🗂️ Shift-to-Delete Functionality for Workspace Prompts: Added keyboard shortcut support for quick prompt deletion on the Workspace Prompts page. Hold Shift and hover over any prompt to reveal a trash icon for instant deletion, bringing consistent interaction patterns across all workspace sections (Models, Tools, Functions, and now Prompts) and streamlining prompt management workflows.
• ♿ Accessibility Enhancements: Enhanced user interface accessibility with improved keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, and screen reader compatibility across key platform components.
• 📄 Optimized PDF Export for Smaller File Size: PDF exports are now significantly optimized, producing much smaller files for faster downloads and easier sharing or archiving of your chats and documents.
• 📦 Slimmed Default Install with Optional Full Dependencies: Installing Open WebUI via pip now defaults to a slimmer package; PostgreSQL support is no longer included by default—simply use 'pip install open-webui[all]' to include all optional dependencies for full feature compatibility.
• 🔄 General Backend Refactoring: Implemented various backend improvements to enhance performance, stability, and security, ensuring a more resilient and reliable platform for all users.
• 🌐 Localization & Internationalization Improvements: Enhanced and expanded translations for Finnish, Spanish, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Chinese, including missing translations and typo corrections, providing a more natural and professional user experience for speakers of these languages across the entire interface.

Fixed

• ⚠️ Chat Error Feedback Restored: Fixed an issue where various backend errors (tool server failures, API connection issues, malformed responses) would cause chats to load indefinitely without providing user feedback. The system now properly displays error messages when failures occur during chat generation, allowing users to understand issues and retry as needed instead of waiting indefinitely.
• 🖼️ Image Generation Steps Setting Visibility Fixed: Fixed a UI issue where the "Set Steps" configuration option was incorrectly displayed for OpenAI and Gemini image generation engines that don't support this parameter. The setting is now only visible for compatible engines like ComfyUI and Automatic1111, eliminating user confusion about non-functional configuration options.
• 📄 Datalab Marker API Document Loader Fixed: Fixed broken Datalab Marker API document loader functionality by correcting URL path handling for both hosted Datalab services and self-hosted Marker servers. Removed hardcoded "/marker" paths from the loader code and restored proper default URL structure, ensuring PDF and document processing works correctly with both deployment types.
• 📋 Citation Error Handling Improved: Fixed an issue where malformed citation or source objects from external tools, pipes, or filters would cause JavaScript errors and make the chat interface completely unresponsive. The system now gracefully handles missing or undefined citation properties, allowing conversations to load properly even when tools generate defective citation events.
• 👥 Group User Add API Endpoint Fixed: Fixed an issue where the "/api/v1/groups/id/{group_id}/users/add" API endpoint would accept requests without errors but fail to actually add users to groups. The system now properly initializes and deduplicates user ID lists, ensuring users are correctly added to and removed from groups via API calls.
• 🛠️ External Tool Server Error Handling Improved: Fixed an issue where unreachable or misconfigured external tool servers would cause JavaScript errors and prevent the interface from loading properly. The system now gracefully handles connection failures, displays appropriate error messages, and filters out inaccessible servers while maintaining full functionality for working connections.
• 📋 Code Block Copy Button Content Fixed: Fixed an issue where the copy button in code blocks would copy the original AI-generated code instead of any user-edited content, ensuring the copy function always captures the currently displayed code as modified by users.
• 📄 PDF Export Content Mismatch Fixed: Resolved an issue where exporting a PDF of one chat while viewing another chat would incorrectly generate the PDF using the currently viewed chat's content instead of the intended chat's content. Additionally optimized the PDF generation algorithm with improved canvas slicing, better memory management, and enhanced image quality, while removing the problematic PDF export option from individual chat menus to prevent further confusion.
• 🖱️ Windows Sidebar Cursor Icon Corrected: Fixed confusing cursor icons on Windows systems where sidebar toggle buttons displayed resize cursors (ew-resize) instead of appropriate pointer cursors. The sidebar buttons now show standard pointer cursors on Windows, eliminating user confusion about whether the buttons expand/collapse the sidebar or resize it.
• 📝 Safari IME Composition Bug Fixed: Resolved an issue where pressing Enter while composing Chinese text using Input Method Editors (IMEs) on Safari would prematurely send messages instead of completing text composition. The system now properly detects composition states and ignores keydown events that occur immediately after composition ends, ensuring smooth multilingual text input across all browsers.
• 🔍 Hybrid Search Parameter Handling Fixed: Fixed an issue where the "hybrid" parameter in collection query requests was not being properly evaluated, causing the system to ignore user-specified hybrid search preferences and only check global configuration. Additionally resolved a division by zero error that occurred in hybrid search when BM25Retriever was called with empty document lists, ensuring robust search functionality across all collection states.
• 💬 RTL Text Orientation in Messages Fixed: Fixed text alignment issues in user messages and AI responses for Right-to-Left languages, ensuring proper text direction based on user language settings. Code blocks now consistently use Left-to-Right orientation regardless of the user's language preference, maintaining code readability across all supported languages.
• 📁 File Content Preview in Modal Restored: Fixed an issue where clicking on uploaded files would display an empty preview modal, even when the files were successfully processed and available for AI context. File content now displays correctly in the preview modal, ensuring users can verify and review their uploaded documents as intended.
• 🌐 Playwright Timeout Configuration Corrected: Fixed an issue where Playwright timeout values were incorrectly converted from milliseconds to seconds with an additional 1000x multiplier, causing excessively long web loading timeouts. The timeout parameter now correctly uses the configured millisecond values as intended, ensuring responsive web search and document loading operations.

Changed

• 🔄 Follow-Up Question Language Constraint Removed: Follow-up question suggestions no longer strictly adhere to the chat's primary language setting, allowing for more flexible and diverse suggestion generation that may include questions in different languages based on conversation context and relevance rather than enforced language matching.

This enables users to stop ongoing generations promptly and preventing network timeouts during lengthy preprocessing phases, thus significantly improving user experience and responsiveness.
• 📁 Asynchronous File Upload with Polling: Implemented an asynchronous file upload process with frontend polling to resolve gateway timeouts and improve reliability when uploading large files. This ensures that even lengthy file processing, such as embedding or transcription, does not block the user interface or lead to connection timeouts, providing a smoother experience for all file operations.
• 📈 Database Performance Indexes and Migration Script: Introduced new database indexes on the "chat", "tag", and "function" tables to significantly enhance query performance for SQLite and PostgreSQL installations. For existing deployments, a new Alembic migration script is included to seamlessly apply these indexes, ensuring faster filtering and sorting operations across the platform.
• ✨ Enhanced Database Performance Options: Introduced new configurable options to significantly improve database performance, especially for SQLite. This includes "DATABASE_ENABLE_SQLITE_WAL" to enable SQLite WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) mode for concurrent operations, and "DATABASE_DEDUPLICATE_INTERVAL" which, in conjunction with a new deduplication mechanism, reduces redundant updates to "user.last_active_at", minimizing write conflicts across all database types.
• 💾 Save Temporary Chats Button: Introduced a new 'Save Chat' button for conversations initiated in temporary mode. This allows users to permanently save valuable temporary conversations to their chat history, providing greater flexibility and ensuring important discussions are not lost.
• 📂 Chat Movement Options in Menu: Added the ability to move chats directly to folders from the chat menu. This enhances chat organization and allows users to manage their conversations more efficiently by relocating them between folders with ease.
• 💬 Language-Aware Follow-Up Suggestions: Enhanced the AI's follow-up question generation to dynamically adapt to the primary language of the current chat. Follow-up prompts will now be suggested in the same language the user and AI are conversing in, ensuring more natural and contextually relevant interactions.
