v0.9.0

Released 2026-10-03. Two themes: things people make (artifacts, files, memory, long conversations) and things operators need (compliance, backups, observability).

For peopleCopy Anchor Link

• Artifacts. HTML pages, SVG images, Mermaid diagrams and long documents from replies are kept as versioned artifacts. Tool-capable models create and revise them; you watch them being written in a panel that opens beside the conversation on wide screens, take them full screen (also on phones and share links), browse versions, copy, download, and edit documents directly. Pages run in a sandboxed frame with no network access. See Artifacts.
• Export as Word, PDF, PowerPoint or Excel from replies and document artifacts. See Exporting as files.
• User memory, opt-in for the instance, the role and each person, with remember and forget for tool-capable models, Memory updated with Undo, and never in temporary chats. See Memory.
• Long conversations are summarised in the background instead of losing their oldest turns, without making anyone wait; Summarise earlier messages now asks for one. See Long conversations.
• Meaning-based search for project files, and optional reranking, when your institution sets them up.
• A live reasoning preview: three lines under Thinking… while a model thinks.
• A hint to connect a connector above the message box.
• Replies show their parts in the order they were written (reasoning, tool steps, text), also in share links and Markdown exports.

For administratorsCopy Anchor Link

• Compliance export and legal hold: audit events, and optionally content, exported as verified JSON Lines to S3 exactly once; holds that pause retention and deletion for named people. See Compliance.
• Automated backups: a daily, verified pg_dump to S3 with a manifest of file objects and daily and weekly retention. See Backups.
• Webhooks for audit events, signed with HMAC-SHA256 and retried. See Observability and webhooks.
• Embeddings and reranking on Providers & Models. See Embeddings and reranking.
• New switches: Artifacts per role, User memory for the instance and per role, Summarise long conversations and Editorial diagrams on General.
• Web searches that time out are retried once; connector token refresh is coordinated across replicas.
• Project search adds only relevant passages, so an unrelated question adds none.

For operatorsCopy Anchor Link

• Metrics at /metrics when METRICS_TOKEN is set, and OpenTelemetry traces when OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set.
• The API image includes the PostgreSQL 17 client tools for backups.
• Artifact frame headers: if you run your own proxy, see Reverse proxy.
• File exports need up to two CPU cores and about 1.2 GB extra memory per API replica at peak.

FixesCopy Anchor Link

Scrolling past the end of a conversation no longer carries the message box off screen; Stop and Send icons are visible on the neutral theme; highlighted code follows OCI's theme rather than the system's; the cursor stays in the message box when starting from the home page; the first message no longer sits under the top bar on phones.

Upgrading from v0.8.0Copy Anchor Link

Migrations 0028 to 0034. Read the v0.9.0 upgrade notes first: 0034 locks the audit log while it numbers existing entries, and upgrading straight from v0.7 needs the old replicas stopped before migrating. New optional environment variables: METRICS_TOKEN, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_SERVICE_NAME, BACKUP_PG_BIN_DIR. Meaning-based search needs pgvector.

Removed: the unused user_preference.boring_mode column (migration 0031).

Known limitationsCopy Anchor Link

Planned for v0.10, and shipped in v0.10.0:

• Legal hold does not yet pause project file deletion or usage-record pruning, and deletions are not exported as compliance events.
• Backups list file objects rather than copying them; protect files with bucket versioning or volume snapshots.
• Exported PDFs cover Western European characters only.
• The artifact panel cannot be resized, and reloading during a very long artifact may not resume its stream.
• A summary someone asked for that fails in the background is not reported.
