 # Changelog
-## Unreleased
-
-## 1.0.3 (2026-06-12)
-- Search: filter results by type — knowledge entities, ingested content, or both
-- Admin: choose the local FastEmbed model from the admin UI; changes save immediately and apply after restart (re-embeds when the vector dimension changes)
-- Performance: pooled FastEmbed workers and batched embedding generation for faster ingestion and search
-- Performance: lower search and chat latency from backend allocation and retrieval optimizations
-- Fix: modal dialogs (scratchpad editor, admin prompts, entity creation) open and close more reliably
-- Fix: improved knowledge-entity relationship suggestions when creating entities manually
-- Fix: API key revocation now correctly clears the stored key
-
-## 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

-## Noteworthy Features
-
-- **Search & Chat Interface** - Find content or knowledge instantly with full-text search, or use the chat mode and conversational AI to find and reason about content
-- **Manual and AI-assisted connections** - Build entities and relationships manually with full control, let AI create entities and relationships automatically, or blend both approaches with AI suggestions for manual approval 
-- **Hybrid Retrieval System** - Search combining vector similarity & full-text search
-- **Scratchpad Feature** - Quickly capture thoughts and convert them to permanent content when ready
-- **Visual Graph Explorer** - Interactive D3-based navigation of your knowledge entities and connections
-- **Multi-Format Support** - Ingest text, URLs, PDFs, audio files, and images into your knowledge base
-- **Performance Focus** - Built with Rust and server-side rendering for speed and efficiency
-- **Self-Hosted & Privacy-Focused** - Full control over your data, and compatible with any OpenAI-compatible API that supports structured outputs
-
-## The "Why" Behind Minne
-
-For a while I've been fascinated by personal knowledge management systems. I wanted something that made it incredibly easy to capture content - snippets of text, URLs, and other media - while automatically discovering connections between ideas. But I also wanted to maintain control over my knowledge structure.
-
-Traditional tools like Logseq and Obsidian are excellent, but the manual linking process often became a hindrance. Meanwhile, fully automated systems sometimes miss important context or create relationships I wouldn't have chosen myself.
-
-So I built Minne to offer the best of both worlds: effortless content capture with AI-assisted relationship discovery, but with the flexibility to manually curate, edit, or override any connections. You can let AI handle the heavy lifting of extracting entities and finding relationships, take full control yourself, or use a hybrid approach where AI suggests connections that you can approve or modify.
-
-While developing Minne, I discovered [KaraKeep](https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep) (formerly Hoarder), which is an excellent application in a similar space – you probably want to check it out! However, if you're interested in a PKM that offers both intelligent automation and manual curation, with the ability to chat with your knowledge base, then Minne might be worth testing.

 ## Quick Start
 
-The fastest way to get Minne running is with Docker Compose:
-
 ```bash
-# Clone the repository
 git clone https://github.com/perstarkse/minne.git
 cd minne
 
-# Start Minne and its database
+# Set your OpenAI API key in docker-compose.yml, then:
 docker compose up -d
 
-# Access at http://localhost:3000
+# Open http://localhost:3000
 ```
 
-**Required Setup:**
-- Replace `your_openai_api_key_here` in `docker-compose.yml` with your actual API key
-- Configure `OPENAI_BASE_URL` if using a custom AI provider (like Ollama)
-
-For detailed installation options, see [Configuration](#configuration).
-
-## Features in Detail
-
-### Search vs. Chat mode
-
-**Search** - Use when you know roughly what you're looking for. Full-text search finds items quickly by matching your query terms.
-
-**Chat Mode** - Use when you want to explore concepts, find connections, or reason about your knowledge. The AI analyzes your query and finds relevant context across your entire knowledge base.
-
-### Content Processing
-
-Minne automatically processes content you save:
-1. **Web scraping** extracts readable text from URLs
-2. **Text analysis** identifies key concepts and relationships
-3. **Graph creation** builds connections between related content
-4. **Embedding generation** enables semantic search capabilities
-
-### Visual Knowledge Graph
-
-Explore your knowledge as an interactive network with flexible curation options:
-
-**Manual Curation** - Create knowledge entities and relationships yourself with full control over your graph structure
-
-**AI Automation** - Let AI automatically extract entities and discover relationships from your content
-
-**Hybrid Approach** - Get AI-suggested relationships and entities that you can manually review, edit, or approve
-
-The graph visualization shows:
-- Knowledge entities as nodes (manually created or AI-extracted)
-- Relationships as connections (manually defined, AI-discovered, or suggested)
-- Interactive navigation for discovery and editing
-
-### Optional FastEmbed Reranking
-
-Minne ships with an opt-in reranking stage powered by [fastembed-rs](https://github.com/Anush008/fastembed-rs). When enabled, the hybrid retrieval results are rescored with a lightweight cross-encoder before being returned to chat or ingestion flows. In practice this often means more relevant results, boosting answer quality and downstream enrichment.
-
-⚠️ **Resource notes**
-- Enabling reranking downloads and caches ~1.1 GB of model data on first startup (cached under `<data_dir>/fastembed/reranker` by default).
-- Initialization takes longer while warming the cache, and each query consumes extra CPU. The default pool size (2) is tuned for a singe user setup, but could work with a pool size on 1 as well.
-- The feature is disabled by default. Set `reranking_enabled: true` (or `RERANKING_ENABLED=true`) if you’re comfortable with the additional footprint.
-
-Example configuration:
-
-```yaml
-reranking_enabled: true
-reranking_pool_size: 2
-fastembed_cache_dir: "/var/lib/minne/fastembed"  # optional override, defaults to .fastembed_cache
-```
-
