# Changelog
## Unreleased

## 1.0.2 (2026-02-15)
- Fix: edge case where navigation back to a chat page could trigger a new response generation
- Fix: chat references now validate and render more reliably
- Fix: improved admin access checks for restricted routes
- Performance: faster chat sidebar loads from cached conversation archive data
- API: harmonized ingest endpoint naming and added configurable ingest safety limits
- Security: hardened query handling and ingestion logging to reduce injection and data exposure risk

## 1.0.1 (2026-02-11)
- Shipped an S3 storage backend so content can be stored in object storage instead of local disk, with configuration support for S3 deployments.
- Introduced user theme preferences with the new Obsidian Prism look and improved dark mode styling.
- Fixed edge cases, including content deletion behavior and compatibility for older user records.

## 1.0.0 (2026-01-02)
- **Locally generated embeddings are now default**. If you want to continue using API embeddings, set EMBEDDING_BACKEND to openai. This will download a ONNX model and recreate all embeddings. But in most instances it's very worth it. Removing the network bound call to create embeddings. Creating embeddings on my N100 device is extremely fast. Typically a search response is provided in less than 50ms. 
- Added a benchmarks create for evaluating the retrieval process
- Added fastembed embedding support, enables the use of local CPU generated embeddings, greatly improved latency if machine can handle it. Quick search has vastly better accuracy and is much faster, 50ms latency when testing compared to minimum 300ms.
- Embeddings stored on own table.
- Refactored retrieval pipeline to use the new, faster and more accurate strategy. Read [blog post](https://blog.stark.pub/posts/eval-retrieval-refactor/) for more details.

## Version 0.2.7 (2025-12-04)
- Improved admin page, now only loads models when specifically requested. Groundwork for coming configuration features.
- Fix: timezone aware info in scratchpad

## Version 0.2.6 (2025-10-29)

- Fix: default name for relationships harmonized across application

## Version 0.2.5 (2025-10-24)
- Added manual knowledge entity creation flows using a modal, with the option for suggested relationships

## Version 0.1.4 (2025-07-01)
- Added image ingestion with configurable system settings and updated Docker Compose docs.
- Hardened admin flows by fixing concurrent API/database calls and normalizing task statuses.

## Version 0.1.3 (2025-06-08)
- Added support for AI providers beyond OpenAI.
- Made the HTTP port configurable for deployments.
