• Tool Server Loading and Visibility Restored: Resolved an issue where connected tool servers were not loading or visible, restoring seamless integration and uninterrupted access to all external and custom tools directly within the platform.
• Redis User Session Reliability: Fixed a problem affecting the saving of user sessions in Redis, ensuring reliable login sessions, stable authentication, and secure multi-user environments.
• Asynchronous Chat Payload Processing: Refactored the chat completion pipeline to return a response immediately for streaming requests involving web search or tool calls. 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.

• Update ollama to 0.11.7

[Package Updates]

[2.16.5]

• Update open-webui to 0.6.26
• Full Changelog
• 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 SupportA: 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.
• 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.
