Added

🎨 Redesigned interface. Open WebUI has been visually rebuilt from the ground up. All aspects of the User Interface, from the chat view to the admin panel. Now with a narrower conversation column, lighter typography, tidier spacing, consistent menus and dropdowns, clearly outlined text boxes, and settings rearranged. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, #27178, Commit, Commit

🤖 Sub-agents. Administrators can now enable sub-agents, which let a model hand parts of a task to background helper agents that run their own tool-driven conversations and report results back into the chat, tuned through new "ENABLE_SUBAGENTS", concurrency, iteration, and system-prompt settings. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

📂 Folder pages. Opening a folder now takes you to its own page, where its chats load a page at a time, can be sorted by title or last updated, and you can start a new chat straight from the folder. Commit

⏲️ Chat timers. The assistant can now set a timer that brings a prompt back into the conversation later, after a delay or at a set time, and can drop it automatically if you read the chat or reply before it fires. Commit

🔔 Notification targets. Notifications now have their own settings tab where you can send them to several webhook destinations, each picking which events it wants, from chats finishing or failing to channel messages and calendar alerts, with a test button and a choice between always notifying or only when you are away, and any webhook you already had is carried over for you. Commit, Commit, Commit, #24750

🗯️ Full replies in channels. A reply from the assistant in a channel is now saved and shown in full, with its reasoning, tool calls and other structured parts, where it previously came through blank. Commit, #26720, #27409, #26707, #26656

📣 Notifications from the assistant. The assistant can now send you a notification itself when something is worth your attention, so a long task can reach you after you have moved on to something else. Commit, Commit

🌎 Share a chat with anyone holding the link. A shared chat can now be set to Open so it opens without signing in, with visitors no longer bounced to the sign-in page on their way to it, which administrators must first allow through a new "Chats Open Sharing" permission that stays off by default, and such pages ask search engines not to index them. Commit, Commit

🔖 Chat variables. A model's system prompt can now declare fields such as text boxes and dropdown lists that you fill in for a conversation, with the values saved alongside the chat and carried over when it is forked or cloned. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, #26915

🗄️ LDAP group synchronization. Administrators can now map LDAP groups to Open WebUI groups from the authentication settings, with optional automatic creation of missing groups, so a user's group memberships are kept in step with the directory each time they sign in. #27263, #18015

👥 Restrict sharing with groups. Admins can now stop resources from being shared with entire groups through a new "USER_PERMISSIONS_ACCESS_GRANTS_ALLOW_GROUPS" permission, which stays enabled by default so existing group sharing keeps working untouched. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, #27124

🤝 Shared folder collaboration. People with access to a shared folder can now use its files and system prompt as knowledge in chat and, with write access, rename and manage the folder, all according to their read or write permission. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

👁️ Chat previews in the sidebar. Hovering a chat in the sidebar now shows a compact preview of its recent messages, so you can find the conversation you want without opening it. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

🕗 Local message timestamps. Message timestamps now appear on hover in your device's local date and time format, with the full weekday and date shown in a tooltip. Commit, Commit

📇 User variables. You can now store your own values in account settings, such as your role or how you like answers written, and a model's system prompt can insert them wherever they are needed. Commit, Commit, Commit

🧺 Automations that file their chats away. An automation can now be pointed at one of your folders, from the dialog, the editor or by asking the assistant, so each run lands there instead of loose in your chat list, and the folder is cleared automatically if it is later deleted. Commit, Commit, Commit

🔵 See what you have not read yet. Folders in the sidebar now carry a count of chats with something new in them, a folder's own page marks unread chats with a dot, shows a spinner on any still generating, clears the dot as you open one, and keeps itself up to date as replies finish elsewhere, unread chats sort to the top of a folder, and you can mark a single chat unread again mark everything in a folder read, or mark every chat read at once from the sidebar. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

🗜️ Compact a chat on demand. Typing a compact command in a long conversation now summarizes the earlier turns straight away, instead of waiting for it to happen automatically once the conversation grows past the threshold. Commit, Commit

🌿 Fork a chat. Every response now has a fork button that copies the conversation up to that point into a new chat which remembers where it branched, so you can carry on down a different path without touching the original. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

📌 Pin the conversation map. The chat overview now has a pin control that stops it recentring on the newest message, so you can keep looking at the branch you were reading while a reply comes in. #25736

📊 Chat status at a glance. The slash menu now shows how full the context window is, and a new status command opens a panel with context usage, queued messages, running tasks, and the chat ID. Commit, Commit

🎹 Customizable keyboard shortcuts. Most keyboard shortcuts can now be rebound to key combinations of your choosing in settings, which saves them to your account, warns you when two actions share a combination, and offers a reset to the defaults, with moving to the previous or next chat and opening the controls panel available to bind as well. Commit, Commit, #26624

⌨️ Turn keyboard shortcuts off. A new switch in the keyboard settings disables every configurable shortcut and hides its hint, so combinations that clash with your browser or operating system pass straight through. #27300, #1008

⌨️ Skills in slash commands. Typing a slash in the message input now lists your skills alongside your prompts, grouped under headings and with descriptions on hover, so you can attach a skill without leaving the keyboard. Commit

📎 Attach anything with the at menu. Typing an at sign in the message input now searches your folders, knowledge collections, and individual files as well as your models, and pasting a link offers it as a web page or YouTube attachment. Commit

📝 Chat with a note. Chatting with a note now gives you the full chat experience, including model choice, tools and file attachments, alongside suggested prompts, a button to insert a response straight into the note, edits that appear in the note as the assistant makes them, and as many separate conversations per note as you want to keep. Commit, Commit

↕️ Sort your lists. The notes, prompts, models, knowledge, skills, tools and functions lists can now be sorted by title or by when they were last updated, in either direction, by clicking the column headings. Commit, Commit, #27457, #27456

🗒️ Notes without stored contents. A note whose contents were never filled in now opens and saves normally instead of failing. Commit

📄 Note attachments. Notes now have an upload option in their menu and show attached files above the note itself, where you can open or remove them, instead of only accepting files dropped onto the page. Commit, Commit

🗂️ The assistant can search your attachments. A new Files capability lets the model list the files attached to the chat and search them by meaning or by exact text, and read the parts it needs, rather than having their whole contents pushed into the conversation up front, and knowledge collections or notes attached to a chat are now announced to the model so it can query those the same way. Commit, Commit, #26711, #27232, #26708

🔎 Search in the attachment menu. The attachment menu now lets you search your knowledge bases, notes, files, and chats instead of scrolling to find them, with matching text shown for chats. Commit

⚗️ Default file upload mode. You can now choose in settings how attached files are handled by default, rather than picking that on each upload. #20900, #18431

⬇️ Response auto-scroll toggle. A new interface setting lets you stop the view following a reply as it is written, so you can read earlier text while generation continues. Commit, #26826

📜 Client certificates for SearXNG. Web search can now present a client certificate to a SearXNG instance that requires one, through new "SEARXNG_CLIENT_CERT_FILE" and "SEARXNG_CLIENT_KEY_FILE" settings. Commit, #26992

🔭 OpenSERP web search. Web search can now run against a self-hosted OpenSERP instance, which returns results from several major search engines without any API key, configured through a new "OPENSERP_BASE_URL" setting. #27437, #27438

🥇 Model order as a setting. Administrators can now set the order models appear in through a new "MODEL_ORDER_LIST" variable, so the arrangement survives a restart on instances that do not persist configuration. #27420, #27206

⏱️ Idle cap for streamed replies. Administrators can now set an "AIOHTTP_CLIENT_STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT" that ends a streamed reply when the provider stops sending anything for that long, instead of holding the connection open until the overall timeout expires. Commit, Commit

🖼️ Media types an extraction engine may handle. Administrators can now list which image and video types the configured content extraction engine is allowed to process, instead of media being passed to it only when the engine is the external one, so an engine with its own text recognition can take images. Commit, #26940, #14768

🧵 Where a channel reply lands. Administrators can now choose whether a reply to a mention posts in a thread under that message or straight into the channel. Commit, #27410

📚 Limits for knowledge tools. Administrators can now set how much a knowledge search or file view may return, how many files one search may scan, and how many matches are reported, and a knowledge command's whole output is now capped so a single call cannot flood the conversation. Commit, #27524, #27327, #26139

🎛️ File streaming chunk size. Administrators can now tune how large each chunk of a streamed file transfer is through a new "AIOHTTP_FILE_STREAM_CHUNK_SIZE" setting. Commit

🪛 Model for summarizing long chats. Administrators can now pick a dedicated model to write context compaction summaries, separate from the task model, with the conversation's own model used when none is chosen. #26806, #27051

📏 Context compaction token cap. Administrators can now set a "Token Cap" that limits how high per-model context compaction thresholds are allowed to reach, giving finer control over long-conversation summarization. Commit, Commit, Commit

⚖️ Retained messages after compaction. Administrators can now set what share of recent messages survives when a long conversation is summarized, between a tenth and half of it. Commit, #27050

🧠 Memory as a per-model capability. Whether a model receives your stored memories is now a switch on the model itself, so it can be left on for everyday assistants and off for ones that should start from nothing. Commit, #26861, #18610

☑️ Searchable model pickers. When editing a model, the Tools, Skills, Knowledge, Voice, Filters and Actions pickers now let you search and toggle items in place, select or clear them all at once, and see what is active at a glance. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, #26758

🎚️ Switch for single sign-on. OAuth and OIDC now have their own on and off switch in the authentication settings, matching the LDAP one above it, so sign-in through a provider can be turned off without clearing the configuration. #26988

🖲️ One sign-in attempt at a time. The sign-in, sign-up and LDAP form now disables its buttons while a request is in flight, so a slow response no longer turns repeated clicks or Enter presses into several concurrent attempts. #27416, #27264

🛂 Trusted clients for token exchange. Administrators can now list which OAuth clients may have their tokens exchanged for a session, through a new "OAUTH_TOKEN_EXCHANGE_TRUSTED_CLIENT_IDS" setting, so a token a person obtained by signing in to an unrelated application of the same provider can no longer be turned into a session as that person. #27546, Commit, Commit

🚪 Throttle for token exchange. Administrators can now cap how often the OAuth token exchange endpoint may be called from one address through new "OAUTH_TOKEN_EXCHANGE_RATE_LIMIT" and "OAUTH_TOKEN_EXCHANGE_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW" settings, which bound automated attempts with leaked or guessed tokens and stay off until set. Commit

🔏 PKCE for every sign-in provider. The code challenge setting now applies to Google, Microsoft and GitHub sign-in as well as OpenID Connect, so the same protection covers every provider. Commit, #27302

🔤 Embeddings through the OpenAI-compatible API. Integrations built on OpenAI client libraries can now create embeddings through the Ollama proxy, so embedding requests go through the same sign-in and model access rules as chat instead of needing direct access to Ollama. #27332, Commit, #27328, Docs:#1331

🎚️ Passthrough parameters per connection. Administrators can now list request parameters that a connection should receive untranslated, under a new Advanced section in connection settings, so provider-specific options reach the upstream API intact. Commit

🅰️ Anthropic requests passed straight through. Requests to the Anthropic-compatible API aimed at an Anthropic or LiteLLM connection now reach the provider untouched rather than being translated on the way, and LiteLLM is selectable as a connection type. Commit

💭 Reasoning in Anthropic responses. Responses from the Anthropic-compatible API now carry the model's reasoning as thinking blocks, in both streamed and complete responses. Commit

🧩 Structured output through the Anthropic-compatible API. Requests can now ask for a JSON schema or JSON object response and set a reasoning effort, which are carried through to the upstream model. Commit

🪧 Group names in forwarded headers. Custom headers on a connection can now carry the groups a person belongs to, by name or by id, so an upstream service or gateway can apply its own rules per group. #27236, #26834

🪪 User identity forwarded to Mistral OCR. Document extraction through Mistral OCR now carries the requesting user's identity when user info forwarding is enabled, so a gateway in front of it can attribute requests per user like other outbound integrations already do. #27253, #27250

🔢 Anthropic token-counting endpoint. The Anthropic-compatible API now offers a token-counting endpoint, so integrations can check how many input tokens a request will use before sending it. Commit, Commit

🖲️ Terminal instructions read fresh. The instructions a terminal server provides are now fetched for each request, so changing them on the server takes effect immediately instead of after re-saving the connection or restarting. #27242

🖥️ Live terminal server policies. Administrators can now read an orchestrator terminal server's current policy and lifecycle settings directly in connection settings rather than relying on a locally cached copy. Commit, Commit

🌍 Model privacy at a glance. Admins can now make a model public or private straight from its menu in the model list, where each model is marked as public, shared, or private. Commit

📈 Personal usage dashboard. A new Usage tab in settings shows your own activity over time, including a token-activity heatmap, current and longest streaks, lifetime and peak token counts, your longest active chat, and your most used models and tools. Commit

🧠 Memories in settings. Your memories are now listed directly in personalization settings where you can search, add, edit, and remove them, instead of being tucked behind a separate manage dialog. Commit

💾 Import notes and automations. Notes can now be brought in from text and markdown files, and automations can be exported and imported as files, so you can move them between instances. Commit, Commit

🧮 Counts in the tabs. The workspace tabs now show how many models, knowledge bases, prompts, skills, and tools you have, and the admin tabs do the same for users, groups, leaderboard entries, and feedback, so you can see the size of each section without opening it. Commit, Commit, Commit

🧾 Group permissions at a glance. The groups list now shows whether each group uses custom or default permissions, without opening it. Commit, Commit

📤 Streamed file transfers. Uploading a model, pipeline or audio file now sends it in chunks instead of holding the whole thing in memory, and reading and writing files no longer blocks other requests, so large transfers no longer spike memory or stall the server. Commit, #27351, #27349

🧰 Built-in tool descriptions built once. The descriptions handed to the model for the built-in tools are now worked out once at startup rather than rebuilt on every message. Commit, Commit, #27374, #27396

🪺 Records read without a double pass. Loading a model, tool, prompt, skill, note, knowledge base, channel or calendar no longer converts the record twice on the way out. Commit, #27377

🔧 Faster tool and knowledge base listings. Listing tools no longer loads each one's full source, and working out which tools and knowledge bases you can see takes a single check rather than one per item. #27387

🧊 Quicker collection checks on Chroma. Checking whether a collection exists now asks for that one collection instead of listing them all, which grew slower with every knowledge base and file. Commit, #27394

🔠 Tokenizer loaded once. The tokenizer used to split documents is now kept after first use rather than being loaded again for every file. Commit, #27394

📗 Faster knowledge base file lists. Opening a knowledge base now loads just the file names and details instead of the entire extracted text of every document, so large collections appear almost instantly. #27386, #26144

🗝️ Faster file access checks. Working out whether you can open a file no longer scales with how many workspace models and knowledge bases exist, so opening files and listing folder contents stays quick on large instances. #27383

🕰️ Faster automation scheduling. Working out when an automation that repeats every few minutes or hours runs next is now near instant, instead of taking twenty seconds or more and slowing further each year. Commit, #26954

📁 Faster folder loading. Your folder list no longer runs a separate lookup for every folder to check where it sits, so it loads in a single pass. Commit

🎯 One round of requests per folder click. Selecting a folder in the sidebar now fetches the folder, the folder tree, and each expanded folder's chats once instead of two to four times. #27540, #27539

🎧 No wasted work when nobody is listening. Updates for a chat whose tab has been closed, or for requests made through the API, are no longer packaged up only to be discarded, which matters most on long streamed replies. #27366, Commit

📑 Cheaper audit logging. With audit logging on, each request is no longer authenticated a second time just to record the log entry, so audited instances carry noticeably less overhead. #27373

🪧 Cheaper tagging after each reply. Saving the tags generated for a conversation now updates just that field instead of loading, rewriting and re-reading the whole conversation, which cost more the longer the chat. #27382

✍️ Faster saves across the app. Saving a chat, note, prompt, tool or user setting no longer re-reads the record it just wrote, so writes finish sooner, most noticeably on long conversations. #27381, #27379, Commit, Commit

🛢️ Less database overhead per request. SQLite installations no longer run a connection check before every database call, and requests that never touch the database skip the bookkeeping that used to run regardless. #27385

⚡ Faster memory lookups. Stored memories are now indexed so retrieving them stays quick as the number you have grows. Commit, #26957

🪪 Fewer checks before a reply starts. Working out whether you may use a model now looks up the model and your group memberships once instead of repeating both, including for every model a workspace model is built on. #27378

👤 Lighter user activity checks. Checking whether someone is currently active now reads only that timestamp rather than their whole profile, including their profile image. Commit, #27224

📨 Fewer settings lookups when sending a message. Sending a chat message now reads the settings behind tools, file retrieval, voice, skills and the code interpreter in fewer trips to the database, so replies start sooner. #27223

🪄 Lighter conversion for Ollama requests. Preparing a request for an Ollama model no longer copies the entire conversation before sending it, which cost more with every message and repeated on each tool-call round. #27371

🦙 Fewer settings lookups on Ollama requests. Ollama chat, generation and embedding requests now read their connection settings once instead of up to four times, so each request reaches the server sooner. #27226

🧹 Less repeated work on every response. Security headers are now worked out once at startup rather than rebuilt for each response, and ordinary page requests skip the redirect handling they never needed, so responses carry less overhead. #27229

🚀 Lower per-request overhead. Requests no longer each perform a settings lookup before they are handled, trimming a little latency from everything the app does. Commit, #27395, Commit, Commit, #27227

💨 Leaner filter handling while streaming. Filters applied to a streaming reply no longer re-read their settings and each plugin's full source from the database for every chunk, so responses with filters enabled cost the server far less work. #27228, #27372, Commit, Commit, Commit, #27392

🚦 No filter bookkeeping without filters. Streamed API responses only build up the full reply for outlet filters when the model actually has one configured, instead of doing it for every request. Commit, #27391

✂️ Cheaper tag detection while streaming. Watching a reply for reasoning and code blocks now examines only the newly arrived text rather than rescanning the whole answer on every chunk, so a long answer no longer costs progressively more as it grows. #27360

🌊 Steadier long responses. Building up a streamed reply no longer costs more work as it grows, so long answers keep pace instead of slowing down toward the end. #27231, #27359, Commit, #27390

📦 Faster JSON handling as an option. Administrators can now switch the whole application to a faster encoder through a new "ENABLE_ORJSON" setting, covering request bodies, responses, upstream provider payloads and live updates, where the encoding of live updates was the largest single cost on the workers handling them in clustered deployments; it stays off by default because the faster encoder is stricter about what it accepts. #27583

⚙️ Faster Redis handling. The compiled "hiredis" parser now ships as a dependency and is used automatically, so deployments backed by Redis spend noticeably less processor time reading responses. #27282

🔗 Fewer Redis round trips per chat. Deployments backed by Redis now look up the model and connected sessions once per request instead of twice, and fetch the model list in a single call. #27225

🛰️ Fewer Sentinel lookups. Redis Sentinel deployments no longer ask which server is the primary and open a fresh connection before every single command, which had caused heavy connection churn and stalls under load. Commit, #27213, #27210

📡 Lighter live connection handling. Typing indicators, shared document edits and reconnections no longer re-read your account or copy the full participant list each time, and idle sessions are no longer rewritten every few seconds. Commit, #27393

🏎️ Faster chat search on PostgreSQL. Searching chats on PostgreSQL now reads from the message table instead of unpacking each conversation's stored data row by row, so results stay quick as your history grows. Commit, #27221

⚡ Lighter model lists. Model lists no longer carry embedded profile images in their data, so they load faster. Commit, Commit

🏗️ Fewer queries when building the model list. Assembling the model list now makes fewer database round trips and no longer fetches every plugin's source code along the way, so it comes together faster. Commit, #27389

🪶 Model lists without knowledge text. Model lists no longer include the extracted text of files attached to a model as knowledge, so they stay small regardless of how large those knowledge bases are. Commit, #27287

🔛 Functions can react to being switched on or off. Two new events fire just before a function is enabled or disabled, and the function being enabled receives its own event even though it is not active yet, so it can run whatever setup or teardown it needs. Commit, #26754, #26748

🔛 Multiple choice settings in plugins. A tool or function can now offer a setting where you tick several options from a list, fixed or worked out at the time it is shown, instead of asking you to type a comma-separated list of allowed values. #26884, #26848

🔌 Disable plugins entirely. Administrators can now completely turn off the built-in Tools and Functions plugin surfaces through a new "ENABLE_PLUGINS" setting, which hides them across the workspace and admin areas and removes their execution paths. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

🧵 Lighter chat listings and search. Building a page of chat search results or a folder listing no longer copies each full conversation to read its title and dates, so those pages come together faster and use far less memory while they are built. #27388

📮 Name lookups off the thread pool. Looking up a hostname no longer occupies one of the limited threads shared by every other piece of blocking work, so model calls, searches, page fetches and tool calls stop queueing behind each other once a few lookups are slow. #27440

🥬 Faster web page parsing. Pages pulled in by web search and web retrieval are now read with a faster parser, cutting roughly a tenth off the time spent on a ten result search. #27439

🧭 No pointless lookups when filtering search results. Filtering web search results against a domain list no longer resolves every result to an address first, which had turned a three second search into half a minute wherever the resolver was slow or a name did not resolve. Commit, #26920

🚄 Leaner passthrough streaming. Responses the server only relays now go straight through in whole network reads instead of being split line by line, roughly halving the work spent shuttling a streamed reply on those routes. #27384

🧶 Web page parsing off the critical path. Reading those pages no longer holds up everything else on the server, so other people's replies, live updates and health checks keep flowing during a search instead of stalling for a second or more. #27446

🈶 Faster uploads of non-English text files. Working out the encoding of an uploaded text file now samples the part that needs it rather than scanning the whole file, taking a four megabyte Japanese or Chinese document from several seconds down to well under one. #27445

♿ Improved UI accessibility. Keyboard and screen reader users can now tell which chat in the sidebar is the one being viewed, open reasoning and detail blocks in a response, expand sidebar sections and open a folder without a mouse, sort the admin user list from the keyboard and hear which column it is sorted by, open a dropdown and its submenus with the keyboard, close them again with Escape and land back where they started, hear which value a dropdown is set to rather than only its label, hear what each admin settings switch, group permission toggle, checkbox, API key field and advanced model parameter slider controls, have the message box announced by its placeholder instead of as an unnamed field, press Enter on Cancel in a confirmation dialog without triggering the delete, reach the regenerate control, jump straight past the sidebar to the conversation with a skip link, hear what an icon-only button does across chat, calls, file previews, modals and the admin pages rather than an unlabelled button, placeholder text, section headings, field descriptions, inactive tab labels, timestamps, counters and icons are now readable against their background when High Contrast Mode is on, and sidebar buttons across notes, automations, the playground, and admin pages announce whether they open or close the sidebar. #27510, #27513, #27503, #27494, #27491, #27490, #27489, #27488, #27555, #27556, #27554, #27558, #27501, #27492, #27509, #27502, #26769, Commit, Commit, #26768, #26770, Commit, Commit, Commit, #27508

🔄 General improvements. Various improvements were implemented across the application to enhance performance, stability, and security.

🌐 Translation updates. Slovenian is now available, and translations for English (UK), Finnish, German, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil) and Portuguese (Portugal) were enhanced and expanded.

Fixed

🛡️ Security Advisory: This release includes security and access-control fixes. We recommend updating production deployments at your earliest convenience. Not all security fixes in this version may be enumerated in the fixed section. Some may be withheld for a short time to give administrators time to upgrade. Advisories

🔒 Terminal file preview isolation. Previewing an HTML file in the system terminal now runs it in an isolated context by default, closing a cross-site scripting hole that could expose your login session or, for privileged accounts, run code on the server. #26907

➗ Malformed maths in a message. Maths that fails to render is now shown as plain text rather than being placed into the page as markup, closing a way for a crafted formula in a chat, channel or shared conversation to run code in the browser of anyone reading it. #26718

🔩 Updated file upload parsing library. The library that parses file uploads and form submissions has been updated to a release that addresses a security advisory affecting that parsing path. #26991

🛑 Deactivated accounts lose live access. Real-time connections now apply the same role check as the rest of the application, so an account moved out of the user or admin role can no longer keep its channels and shared notes open on an existing token. #27537

🛅 Writing into someone else's chat. Completion and action requests now confirm you own the chat they name before anything is written to it, so a filter or action can no longer be pointed at another person's conversation. #27486

🎟️ Ollama version no longer readable anonymously. Reading the configured Ollama backend's version now requires signing in, closing a route that let anyone learn the version in use and count how many backends are configured. #27199

🔐 Folder sharing permission. The folder sharing setting in default and group permissions now saves instead of being silently discarded, so allowing or restricting folder sharing actually takes effect. #27296, #27120

🔕 Webhook permission enforcement. People without permission to use webhooks can no longer save webhook notification destinations to their settings, so the permission is enforced when settings are saved rather than only reflected in the interface. #27297, Commit

🛎️ Stopping someone else's generation. Deleting a chat now checks who you are before anything is cancelled, so knowing another person's chat id no longer lets you cut off their reply or title generation on a request that is refused anyway. #27006

🚥 Automation limits in chat. Automations that the assistant creates or reschedules on your behalf now respect the same maximum count and minimum interval as the ones you set up yourself, instead of being able to exceed both. #27523, #27121

⏲️ Cancelling someone else's timers. Marking a chat as read now only clears your own pending timers on it, instead of clearing everyone's, which had let another person's scheduled prompt be silently cancelled without them being told. #27472

🗑️ Deleting a shared folder's subfolders. Deleting a folder is now limited to its owner or an administrator at every level, so someone with write access to a shared folder can no longer delete a subfolder and take the owner's chats with it. #27003

📕 Tool source shown to people who can only use it. Opening a tool you were given read access to no longer returns its source code, which read access was never meant to include. #27005

🎯 Model settings in the list endpoint. Listing models no longer includes each one's parameters and system prompt for people with read access only, matching what opening a single model already returned. #27004

🖌️ Image generation and web search without permission. Turning on image generation or web search through the older request format now checks your permission first, so someone denied those features can no longer trigger them, and the billing that comes with them, by asking for that format. #26703

🎗️ Terminal single sign-on tokens. The token forwarded to a terminal server for single sign-on is now taken from your own session on the server rather than from a header the browser supplied, so a caller can no longer send someone else's token in its place. #26719

🫗 Web search results scoped to you. The temporary collections holding a web search's pages are now tied to the person who ran the search, closing the one place where that scoping was not applied. #26706

🧺 Knowledge base cleanup reaching other collections. Tidying up a knowledge base now acts only on files and folders that belong to it, so someone with write access to one knowledge base can no longer delete folders or search data belonging to another. #26722

⌛ Searches that could stall the server. A search pattern inside knowledge base commands now runs under a time budget, so a pattern that would take minutes to evaluate can no longer hold up everyone else on the instance. #27471

🚫 Disabled terminal servers are refused. A terminal connection an administrator has turned off can no longer be reached by browsing its files, opening a session, or calling its tools, rather than only disappearing from the interface. Commit

🧫 Files attached to a shared folder. Adding files to a folder is now refused unless the folder's owner can read them, and a folder's files are checked against what its owner can still read before they are used as knowledge in chat, so a collaborator can no longer place files into someone else's folder or keep serving files the owner has since lost access to. #27464, Commit

🧷 Knowledge claimed by a direct connection. Files listed as knowledge on a model supplied by the browser for a direct connection are now filtered against your own access before anything is retrieved, so a crafted request can no longer pull in documents you cannot otherwise open. Commit, #26723

🪜 Reaching a restricted model through a shared one. A shared workspace model can no longer be used to reach an underlying model the person could not otherwise use, which previously slipped through when that model had no entry of its own. #26905, #26900

🖌️ Shared image checkpoint changes. Only administrators can now change the instance-wide Automatic1111 checkpoint, so an ordinary image generation request no longer switches the image model for everyone. #27244

💬 Channel message ownership. Only the author of a channel message, or an administrator, can now edit or delete it, instead of anyone able to post in that channel. #27197

🗄️ Chats shared with an administrator. An administrator can now open a chat that was deliberately shared with them even when broad admin access to other people's chats is turned off, instead of being refused a chat any other recipient could read. #27127

📓 Notes in folder knowledge are access checked. Notes attached to a folder are now filtered against your own access before the list reaches the assistant, rather than relying on later checks further along. #26739

🧱 Code interpreter module blocking. Modules an administrator has blocked for the code interpreter are now actually blocked, and other imports inside interpreter code work again. #27245

📉 Charts in the code interpreter. Code that draws a chart now runs in the default code interpreter setup, instead of failing with a syntax error unless file persistence was turned on. #26800, #26660

🎬 Chat action availability. Chat actions can no longer be triggered when they are disabled, not assigned to the model in use, or on a model the caller cannot access, matching the actions the interface actually offers. #27243

🗨️ Response text where it was missing. Assistant replies are no longer stored without their text, so copying, exporting, searching and reusing a conversation return the reply instead of nothing. Commit, #26799, #26436

🧪 Filter edits that survive a reload. A change a filter makes to a finished response is now saved with the conversation, instead of showing on screen and reverting the next time the chat is opened. #27414, #27017

📃 Action functions receive the response text. Running an action on a response now passes the assistant's text to the function, instead of handing it an empty message. #26798, #26672

🍎 Blank messages on Safari. Assistant responses no longer render as empty in Safari and on iPhone and iPad, where a browser painting bug left on-screen messages unpainted. #26805, #26712, #26844

➡️ Prompts opened from a link. A prompt passed in through a link that sends automatically now waits for tool servers to finish loading, so external tools are available on that first message instead of the model reporting it has none. Commit, #24176

🪟 Tool result prompt submission. Interactive tool result embeds that send a prompt back to the chat work again, showing the confirmation dialog before submitting instead of silently doing nothing. #26914, #26912

📻 Live updates in a second tab. Opening Open WebUI again while already connected now joins the new tab to your event stream, so notifications and chat updates reach every open tab instead of only the first one. Commit

🔁 Connection recovery on new chats. Chats started from the home page now recover automatically after a dropped connection, such as from mobile backgrounding, a VPN or IP change, or waking from sleep, instead of getting stuck loading until a manual refresh. #26913, #26844

🪫 Terminal choice cleared on load. Your selected terminal is no longer dropped while the list of terminals is still loading, so it survives a page refresh. Commit, Commit, Commit, #26775, #26677

🔌 Dropped sessions during keepalive. Live connections no longer break on a routine keepalive check, which had cut the session so that anything the server needed to run in your browser failed afterwards, most visibly the code execution tool reporting the client as disconnected on every run. #27553, #27550

✂️ Context compaction turn boundaries. Long-conversation compaction now summarizes only completed earlier turns instead of sometimes cutting through the middle of a single turn, keeping the current turn's tool calls and results intact. #27035, Commit, Commit

🪆 Summaries on a direct connection. Summarizing a long conversation on a direct connection can now use the configured summary model rather than being limited to the connection's own model. #26806

🪟 System prompt through compaction. The system message now stays at the front of the conversation when a long chat is summarized, instead of being folded into the summary and lost from that point on. Commit, Commit, Commit, #26713, #26710

🧷 Context compaction continuity. After a compaction, the retained recent messages now stay in the prompt on every following turn instead of disappearing after the first, preserving conversational continuity and prompt caching. #27037, Commit, Commit

🔟 Context size after tool calls. The context meter and long-conversation compaction now read the size of the latest request rather than adding up every call in a tool loop, and understand the counts reported by Ollama and llama.cpp as well as the OpenAI-style ones, so compaction no longer fires far below its threshold, or never at all, and the usage shown is no longer inflated. Commit, Commit, #27031, #26752, #24410

💭 Reasoning that arrives late or empty. Reasoning sent by a provider after the answer has started is now shown in its proper place above the answer rather than appended after it, and reasoning notes carrying nothing no longer open an empty thinking block. Commit, #26687, #26645

📐 System prompt lost during tool calls. A model's system prompt now stays in place through every round of tool calls, instead of being dropped after the first one and, with memories enabled, replaced by the memory block alone. #26857, #26836

🪶 Memories from structured replies. A reply delivered as structured output is now read when memories are reviewed after a turn, so nothing worth remembering is skipped just because of how the answer arrived. Commit, #26705, #26651

🎲 Stable skill ordering. Skills available to a model are now listed in the same order on every request, instead of shuffling between requests and quietly defeating prompt caching. Commit, #26986

🛑 Stopping an answer the moment it starts. Each answer in a chat now carries its own task identifier from the first event onward, so stopping one immediately after sending no longer misses. Commit

⏸️ Deleting while a reply is being written. The delete control is now hidden on messages while a response is generating or a task is running, so a conversation can no longer be left with the finished reply detached from the messages before it. Commit, #26668

🎁 Feedback while a download is prepared. Downloading a file or folder from the terminal now tells you it is being prepared, will not start the same archive twice if you click again, and reports a failure instead of quietly giving up or leaving a preview spinning. #27421, #27055

📥 Moving an archived chat into a folder. Moving an archived chat into a folder now takes it out of the archive so it appears there, and the folder's contents refresh straight away after a move from the menu. #27485, #27484

📜 Chats past the first sixty in a folder. Folder listings now page through every chat instead of stopping at a fixed limit, so older chats no longer appear to vanish from a folder once it grows past sixty. #26786, Commit

📌 Sidebar highlight follows the open chat. The sidebar no longer keeps a chat highlighted after you move to another page, so deleting or archiving it there no longer throws you back to a new chat, and cloning no longer leaves two chats looking selected. #26977

🔀 Sidebar ordering during replies. Background updates such as follow-up suggestions, sources, and status no longer bump a chat to the top of the sidebar or change its last-updated time, and neither does saving a chat's variables or settings, nor the automatic title generation on a new chat. Commit, Commit

🖱️ One hover preview at a time. Moving between chats in the sidebar, or between avatars in the admin user list, channel messages and member lists, no longer leaves an earlier preview open behind the new one. #27549, #27548, #27578, #27577

✨ Folder lists no longer flash. Clicking a folder title in the sidebar no longer empties the chat lists of your expanded folders for a moment before they reappear. #27535, #27533

🫧 Flickering sidebar rows. Moving the pointer across a chat in the sidebar no longer makes its title and timestamp flicker in and out, or draw the timestamp underneath the action buttons. #27474, #27473

⭐ Rating scale in multi-model replies. The rating scale in the feedback panel is no longer cut off when several models answer side by side, so every score can be picked. #26846

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Duplicate models side by side. Adding the same model twice in a side-by-side chat now keeps each column's own answer after a reload, instead of every column collapsing onto the first one. #26980

⬅️ Back button after opening admin or workspace. Going back in the browser now returns you to the page you came from, instead of being pushed forward again to where you just were. #27478, #27477

🎛️ Typing a top_k value. The top_k box in advanced parameters now accepts whole numbers up to its limit and rejects anything else, instead of letting the slider and the box disagree over what is allowed. Commit, #26669

🌙 Date pickers in dark mode. The calendar and clock icons on date and time fields are now visible in dark mode, across the calendar, automation schedules, account settings and analytics. #27275, #27274

🪞 Settings content stays inside the window. Long chat titles in Archived Chats now shorten with the full title on hover, and the admin analytics tables and chart no longer stretch past the edge of the settings window. #27306, #27305, #27329

🔗 Settings links that open in place. A link to a settings tab now opens it without a page refresh, and the Add Terminal button in the terminal menu goes straight to the Integrations tab instead of flashing the admin panel and doing nothing. #27552, #27551

🎰 Model choice on a fresh chat. Starting a new chat now falls back to your default model when the previous selection is no longer available, instead of leaving the picker empty, while a model named in the link still wins. Commit, #26697

📱 Model selector on small screens. The model list now stays fully on screen and sizes itself to the space available, instead of running past the edge or hiding behind the on-screen keyboard on phones. Commit, Commit, Commit

📲 Sidebar stays open over the calendar. Opening the calendar from the account menu on a phone now closes the sidebar, as every other entry in that menu already did. #26979

🗓️ Automation dialog on narrow screens. The buttons along the bottom of the automation dialog now sit on their own row on a phone, instead of the schedule and model pickers wrapping and pushing Cancel into the middle. #27027

📐 Input menu with keyboard open. The message input's attachment menu now stays on screen and resizes to fit when the on-screen keyboard is open on mobile, instead of running off the edge. Commit

🎈 Dropdowns that follow their content. A menu now stays in place as its contents grow or shrink, instead of running past the edge of the screen when a submenu swaps in taller content, and no longer bounces as it opens. #27460, #27458

🧾 Attachment menus load once. Opening a submenu of the attachment menu now requests its list a single time instead of twice. #27461, #27459

🔦 Chat search on PostgreSQL. Searching your chats now finds matches in current conversations on PostgreSQL setups, instead of only matching chats still stored in the older format. Commit

🧲 Search quality with prefix-based embedding models. Memories, knowledge base descriptions and searches against an external vector database now carry the query and content markers your embedding model expects, so results are no longer quietly worse than they should be on models that rely on them. Commit, #26958, #26353

🥄 Counting matches in knowledge base commands. Piping text into a search inside knowledge base commands now honours the count and filenames-only flags, instead of returning the matching lines regardless. #26721, #26715

🔍 Knowledge base file search. Searching inside knowledge base files now returns matching lines with correct line numbers, and patterns that list alternatives separated by a pipe find matches instead of silently returning none. #27249, Commit, Commit, #26795, #26781, #26744

🖨️ PDF text recognition. The text recognition package is now included again, so the application starts and PDFs with image text extraction enabled upload correctly instead of failing. #26851, #26646, #26994

🧿 Mistral OCR on a stock install. Extracting documents with Mistral OCR now works out of the box, instead of failing on a missing name resolution library that the code assumed was present. #27440

📧 Outlook message uploads. Uploading a .msg email now works, where it previously failed because the package it relied on could not be installed alongside the rest of the application at all. #26704, #26690

🖇️ Uploads with PaddleOCR-VL selected. With PaddleOCR-VL chosen as the document loader, only PDFs and images now go to it and everything else falls back to the usual handling, so text, markdown, spreadsheet and Word files index instead of being rejected. #27529, #24988, #26759

🪙 Documents containing special tokens. Splitting text by tokens no longer fails when the content contains reserved marker sequences, so those pages and files can be fetched and added to a knowledge base. Commit, #27094

📚 Knowledge base upload reliability. Adding a file directly to a knowledge base now finishes processing and linking the file before reporting success, so uploaded files are reliably searchable. Commit

🛠️ Web loader settings from the admin panel. The web loader picked in admin settings is now actually used, along with its certificate checking, request pacing and proxy settings, so instances that fetch pages through an external loader work again instead of trying to reach the internet directly with whatever was configured at startup. #26749, #26747, Commit, #27083, #27025, #27061

🚧 Quoted entries in the web fetch filter list. Stray quote marks around a filter entry, w

Original source

Added

💭 Streamed reasoning display. Models that emit thinking or reasoning now show that content as it streams, and it renders correctly in the chat overview and in exported conversations. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

🗂️ Folder uploads to knowledge bases. Dragging a folder into a knowledge base, or syncing one, now recreates its subfolder structure instead of flattening everything into loose files. #26130, Commit

🧠 Memory system context toggle. Administrators can now keep memory tools available while choosing not to add stored memories to the system context, using the new 'Memory System Context' toggle in admin settings. Commit

🧹 Tidier automatic memories. Automatically saved memories now focus on enduring details like preferences and goals and skip one-off things like meals, routine events, or passing mood unless you ask to remember them. Commit

🎙️ Speech-to-text request format. OpenAI-compatible speech-to-text can now send audio as either a multipart upload or base64 JSON, selectable in admin audio settings. Commit

🧰 API configs via environment. Administrators can now set per-connection Ollama and OpenAI API configurations through the "OLLAMA_API_CONFIGS" and "OPENAI_API_CONFIGS" environment variables. Commit

📡 Provider failure events. Failed Ollama and OpenAI-compatible provider requests now emit a structured event describing the error type, provider, and status, giving administrators clearer visibility into upstream failures. Commit

🏟️ Arena models via environment. Administrators can now define evaluation arena models through the "EVALUATION_ARENA_MODELS" environment variable. #26174

♿ Clearer high-contrast sidebar selection. With high-contrast mode enabled, the currently selected chat in the sidebar now stands out with stronger colors, making it easier to tell which chat is active. #26469, Commit

🔄 General improvements. Various improvements were implemented across the application to enhance performance, stability, and security.

🌐 Translation updates. Translations for Thai, Portuguese (Brazil), Catalan, and Spanish were enhanced and expanded.

Fixed

🛡️ Security Advisory: This release includes security and access-control fixes. We recommend updating production deployments at your earliest convenience. Not all security fixes in this version may be enumerated in the fixed section — some may be withheld for a short time to give administrators time to upgrade. Advisories

🔐 Fewer unexpected logouts. A single request returning an authorization error no longer signs you out while your session is still valid, since the app now confirms the session status before redirecting to login. Commit

🔒 Web search domain filtering. Domain allow and block rules for web search results are now matched against the host, closing a gap where some URLs could slip past the filter. Commit

🕵️ Image prompt log privacy. Image generation workflows are no longer written to server logs at the default log level, keeping user-authored prompt content out of operator-visible logs. #26400, Commit

🗄️ Safer database upgrades. Upgrading an existing SQLite database no longer crashes during the user-table migration or corrupts saved user settings, resolving failures that could block startup or break login after an upgrade. #26403, Commit

⚙️ Saving settings as a non-admin. Non-admin users can once again save their interface settings, such as the default model and theme, which previously failed with a server error while the interface incorrectly reported success. #26627, Commit

🕒 Sidebar chat timestamps. Chats in the sidebar now show when they were last active instead of when they were created, so the time label matches their position in the list and refreshes after each new message. #26454, #26451

🎯 Default model after refresh. Your selected model is no longer cleared when you reload the page, as model selection now waits for the model list to finish loading. Commit

⏳ Tool dialogs no longer hang. Dismissing a tool or function input dialog by clicking outside it now cancels the pending request instead of leaving the chat spinning indefinitely. #26417, Commit

🐍 Reliable code execution loading. Running Python code in chat now loads its runtime reliably, fixing sandbox startup failures that broke code execution and the Pyodide file viewer in recent releases. #26625, #26390

🤖 Models with null capabilities. Chatting with a model whose capabilities are unset no longer fails with an error when the memory feature or automations are involved. #26412, Commit, Commit

🔎 Searchable responses. Chat search again finds assistant messages whose text is stored as structured output, which were previously skipped. #26405

🔔 Chat notification previews. Background chat completion notifications and toasts now show a clean response preview instead of appearing blank for messages stored as structured output. Commit

💾 Banner and config startup. Setting configuration such as "WEBUI_BANNERS" no longer causes a startup failure, since admin configuration values are now stored correctly regardless of their data type. #26431, Commit

📑 RAG Template visibility. The RAG Template editor now stays visible in admin document settings even when Bypass Embedding and Retrieval is enabled, since the template still applies to document content in that mode. #26126, Commit

🧬 Editing derived models. Editing a workspace model no longer clears its base model, including when that base is a preset or the model itself. Commit, Commit

🤝 Share folders with your team. You can now share a folder and the chats inside it with specific users, groups, or everyone, with read or write access; people you share with see shared folders in their sidebar and open the chats in a read-only view when they are not the owner, and administrators control who is allowed to share folders with a new "Folders Sharing" permission that is off by default. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit
🗜️ Automatic context compaction for long chats. Conversations that grow past a configurable token threshold can now be summarized automatically so they stay within a model's context window, with a notification shown while it happens; administrators can enable it, set the threshold, customize the summarization prompt, and lower the threshold per model. It is off by default. Commit, Commit, Commit, #19594
🖥️ Open WebUI Computer agent support. Open WebUI can now connect to Open WebUI Computer through its OpenAI-compatible gateway, letting chats run full agent sessions on your own machine with file, terminal, git, and web access. GitHub
🚀 Much faster hybrid search on large knowledge bases. Hybrid search now runs natively in the database on pgvector setups instead of loading an entire collection into memory, so querying large knowledge bases is dramatically faster. Commit, #20737
🗂️ External knowledge bases. Knowledge bases can now be backed by an external retrieval source through configurable external knowledge connections, so you can search an existing external system from chat instead of only Open WebUI's built-in store. Commit
🧠 Reworked memory system. Memory has been overhauled with distinct memory types — long-lived personal memories and per-conversation context — managed through a structured add, update, and delete flow, giving models a more reliable way to remember and apply what they've learned about you. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit
🧩 New plugin primitive: the Event function. Where pipe, filter, and action functions all run inside a conversation, the new Event function is the first primitive that hooks into the system itself: it runs your own Python in response to events emitted across the whole application — sign-ups, configuration changes, file uploads, role changes, deletions, startup and shutdown, and more. That makes a new class of behavior possible directly inside Open WebUI, from onboarding and access control to auditing, lifecycle automation, and external integrations. Comes with starter boilerplate in the function editor. Commit, Docs
🔔 New event system with webhooks. Open WebUI now emits events for a wide range of system activity — sign-ins, configuration changes, startup, and actions across chats, knowledge, files, and more. Administrators can send these as outbound webhooks, route them to specific users or groups, and manage which events go where from a new event settings admin page. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, #1240, #16426
🔐 Configure authentication from the admin panel. LDAP and OAuth/OIDC settings now have a dedicated Authentication settings page, so providers can be configured from the admin interface. Commit, #12945
🏷️ More custom header variables. Custom request headers now support "{{USER_MESSAGE_ID}}", "{{USER_MESSAGE_PARENT_ID}}", and "{{TASK}}", letting connected services tell apart real user messages from automated background requests like title, tag, and follow-up generation. Commit
📄 File details forwarded to external document extractors. External custom document-extraction servers now receive the file's ID, name, and content type, and these are also available as custom header variables, so extraction can be tailored per file. Commit, #26259
🎰 Last model pre-selected for new slots. When you add another model to a multi-model chat, the slot now defaults to the model you last picked instead of starting empty. #25974
⚡ Faster model overview. The admin model overview now loads its feedback history and tags through batched queries, so it opens noticeably faster on instances with many chats. Commit
🏎️ Lighter channel profile previews. Profile previews in channels now load a person's details only when you hover to open one, rather than fetching them for every message up front. Commit
↩️ Reset permissions to defaults. The group and default permission dialogs now include a button to restore all permissions back to their built-in defaults in one step. #25931
📥 Chat import permission. Administrators can now control whether users are allowed to import or clone chats, with a new "Allow Chat Import" permission. Commit, Commit, Commit, #25927
🔔 Per-group user webhook permission. Administrators can now control which users may set a personal notification webhook, with a new "User Webhooks" permission. #25923
✍️ Customizable autocomplete prompt. Administrators can now set a custom prompt template for autocomplete generation from the admin interface settings. Commit, #25879
🔑 Configurable secret key length. The auto-generated secret key length can now be set with a new environment variable, instead of always using a fixed length. Commit, #25906
🏟️ Arena evaluation models configurable via environment. Arena evaluation models can now be defined through an environment variable, which previously could not be set that way. Commit
✏️ Edit prompts from the menu. The prompts list now has an Edit option in each prompt's menu, taking you straight to its editor. #25789
📋 Clone automations. Automations now have a Clone option in their menu, so you can duplicate one as a starting point. #25790
🔁 Recurring calendar events. The calendar event editor now includes a repeat option, so events can recur on a schedule. #25865
🧷 Separate skills import and export permissions. Administrators can now control importing and exporting skills independently, with new skills import and export permissions. #25921
🏷️ Filter admin models by tag. The admin Models settings page now has a tag filter for narrowing the model list by base-model tags. Commit
📊 Sortable analytics chat list. The model chat list in analytics now has sortable column headers, so you can order it by title, last updated, or user. Commit, #26168
🔐 Argon2 password hashing option. Password hashing can now use Argon2 through a configurable algorithm setting, removing the 72-byte password length limit that came with the previous default. Commit, Commit, #25656
🔐 Optional encryption of valve values at rest. Tool and function valve values can now be encrypted at rest through a new opt-in setting, with existing stored values migrated automatically, so sensitive settings like API keys aren't kept in plaintext. Commit, #23721
🗄️ AWS RDS IAM database authentication. The database connection can now authenticate using AWS RDS IAM tokens through a new opt-in setting, instead of only a static password. Commit, #23580
🔓 Automatic auth for models with OAuth 2.1 tools. When a model uses tools that require OAuth 2.1, Open WebUI now initiates the authorization flow automatically instead of failing the request. Commit, #23325, #23272
🔤 Custom tokenizer for token-based text splitting. Token-based document splitting can now use a configurable Hugging Face tokenizer model, so chunking can match the tokenizer of the model you use. Commit, #24139
🔒 Restrict OAuth scopes requested from MCP servers. A new setting lets administrators limit which OAuth scopes Open WebUI requests when connecting to MCP servers. Commit, #25981, #25978
🧩 Filter Outlet Hook can now run on API requests and responses. A filter function's outlet hook now runs for direct API callers, including streaming responses, so response post-processing isn't limited to the web interface; this is controlled by a new setting and on by default. Commit, #25650
🖥️ Setting for terminal sidebar auto-open. A new interface setting controls whether the files sidebar opens automatically when you select a terminal. Commit, #25628
📌 Reorder pinned notes by dragging. Pinned notes in the sidebar can now be dragged to reorder them. #25677
🔎 Chat actions in search. The search dialog now offers a context menu on each result, so you can act on a chat directly from search. #25490
🔎 Snippets in chat search results. Searching your chats now shows a snippet of the matching content in each result, so you can tell results apart at a glance. Commit, Commit, Commit, #25178
📝 Formatted valve descriptions. Valve descriptions for tools and functions now render Markdown, so they can include formatting and links. Commit
🔽 Dropdown inputs for valve options. Valve and confirmation inputs can now present a set of options as a dropdown instead of free text, making fixed-choice settings easier to configure. Commit, #26278
🔌 Control the OAuth resource parameter for MCP connectors. MCP connectors can now be set to always send, never send, or automatically decide whether to include the OAuth resource parameter, so they work with providers that reject it. Commit
🔎 SERPHouse web search. SERPHouse can now be used as a web search provider. Commit, Commit, #26254
🔎 Microsoft Web IQ web search. Microsoft Web IQ can now be used as a web search provider, with a matching page-browse loader. #26178
⚠️ Optional web search confirmation. Administrators can now require users to confirm before a web search runs, with a banner and message making it clear when search is about to be used. Commit, #24942
🪪 Client User-Agent forwarded to model backends. The browser's User-Agent is now passed through to all model backends, so upstream services can see the originating client. #26333
🖐️ Drag items from the sidebar into chat. Folders, notes, and models — including pinned notes — can now be dragged from the sidebar into the chat input. #25771, Commit, #26384
🏷️ Tag suggestions in the model editor. The model editor now suggests existing tags as you type, making it easier to reuse a consistent set. Commit, #25703
🗣️ Voice suggestions in the model editor. The model editor now offers a dropdown of available text-to-speech voices, making it easier to pick one. Commit, #25706
🎛️ Unified model picker for workspace base model. Choosing a base model in the model editor now uses the searchable model selector instead of a plain field, making it easier to find and pick the right model. Commit, #24576
🔍 Searchable pickers in the model editor. Attaching actions, filters, tools, knowledge, and skills to a model now uses type-to-search pickers instead of long checkbox lists, making large libraries easier to manage. Commit
🖼️ iPhone images work with OpenAI image editing. Uploaded images are now normalized before being sent to OpenAI image editing, fixing edits that failed for certain iPhone photo formats, with a new admin toggle to control the behavior. Commit, Commit, #26252, #26249
🟢 Loaded-model indicator for llama.cpp. Models served through llama.cpp now report whether they're currently loaded in memory, including the sleeping state, so the loaded indicator works for them too. Commit
🧱 Structured model output rendered on the client. Reasoning, tool calls, and server-side tool steps such as web and file search are now rendered in the browser from the model's structured output instead of being flattened into the message text on the server, giving more accurate and editable rendering of these items. Commit, Commit
📜 Custom CA bundle for outbound connections. A new environment variable lets you point Open WebUI at a custom CA certificate bundle, and the per-connection SSL settings now accept a bundle path, so deployments behind a corporate or internal CA can keep certificate verification on instead of disabling it. Commit, Commit
🖥️ More terminal server orchestrator controls. Admins connecting an orchestrator terminal server can now configure session lifecycle policies and refresh or reset running terminal sessions, including targeting only idle ones, from the connection settings. Commit
📁 Terminal file browser can stay within a root folder. The terminal file navigator now anchors to a defined root and home directory, so users can be kept within their workspace instead of browsing into system folders by accident. Commit
🧠 Memory toggle follows the server default. When a user hasn't set their own memory preference, it now follows the admin's global memory setting instead of defaulting to off. #25909
🧹 Unshare all shared chats at once. The Shared Chats dialog now has a button to stop sharing every shared chat in one action. #25848
📈 Richer analytics with a date picker. The analytics dashboard now lets you choose a date range and shows additional columns. #25922, #25919
🔢 Chat and file counts in their dialogs. The Chats and Files dialogs now show the total number of chats and files in their titles. #25872, #25873
⚡ Faster math rendering. Rendered math is now cached and reused, so messages with repeated or unchanged math expressions render more efficiently. #25847
⚡ Lighter Markdown setup. Markdown extension setup now runs once instead of on every render, avoiding repeated work and extension stacking. #25837
⚡ Snappier read-only code blocks. Read-only code blocks now skip language auto-detection, so they render faster. #25824
⚡ Non-blocking audio model loading. Loading speech models no longer blocks the server, keeping it responsive while they initialize. #25806
⚡ Faster URL safety checks. The safety check on fetched URLs now resolves addresses off the main loop, so it no longer blocks other work. #25825
⚡ Fewer queries for channel reactions and replies. Channel reactions and thread replies now load through batched queries, reducing database load on busy channels. #25831
⚡ Lighter streaming. Streaming responses now skip re-processing message content that hasn't changed, reducing work on every update. #26325, #26326
⚡ Smoother tool-call rendering. Displaying tool calls now parses their content iteratively, avoiding slowdowns on deeply nested data. #26146
⚡ Hidden tool-call details cost nothing. When tool-call arguments are collapsed, they are no longer rendered behind the scenes, noticeably speeding up chats with heavy tool use. Commit, #26147
⚡ Leaner knowledge-file reading for agents. The built-in tools that let a model read knowledge files now return output in bounded, paginated chunks with a default and a hard cap, instead of potentially returning an entire large file at once, sharply reducing token usage. Commit, #26139
⚡ Lighter, faster file search on large knowledge bases. Listing and searching files no longer returns each file's full extracted text by default, and content matching is now length-bounded, so these requests are far lighter and searching across very large knowledge bases is dramatically faster. Commit, Commit, Commit, #25774, #25741, #26145, #25867
⚡ Faster password hashing and bulk user import. Password hashing and verification no longer block the server, and importing users from a CSV is now processed in a single batch, keeping large imports and sign-ins responsive. Commit, #25804, #25805
⚡ Non-blocking model downloads. Downloading large Ollama models no longer blocks the server on file reads and checksums, keeping it responsive during big downloads. #25829
⚡ Non-blocking uploads and link fetches. Hashing uploaded files and fetching URLs now run off the main loop, so large uploads and link previews don't hold up other requests. #25822
⚡ More blocking work moved off the main loop. Additional blocking operations in audio, pipelines, and plugin handling now run in worker threads, keeping the server responsive under load. #26381
⚡ Unreachable backends don't stall model loading. Loading models and tool servers no longer blocks on backends that are down or slow to respond, so the model list stays responsive when one connection is unreachable. #26289
⚡ Batched streaming updates. Streaming responses now group small updates of the same type before sending them, reducing overhead during fast token streams and tool-call output. Commit, #26202
🔄 General improvements. Various improvements were implemented across the application to enhance performance, stability, and security.
🌐 Updated translations. Catalan, Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR), Irish, German (de-DE), and Spanish (es-ES) translations were updated.
Fixed
🛡️ Security Advisory: This release includes security and access-control fixes. We recommend updating production deployments at your earliest convenience. Not all security fixes in this version may be enumerated in the fixed section — some may be withheld for a short time to give administrators time to upgrade. Advisories
🔐 Knowledge base write access enforced on upload. Attaching an uploaded file to a knowledge base now requires the same write access as the rest of the knowledge API, so users without write access can no longer add files to a collection by referencing its ID. #26001
🗝️ API key permission enforced on all key endpoints. Viewing and deleting API keys now respects the API keys permission, matching the protection already applied to key creation. #25992
🔊 Text-to-speech permission enforced on the speech endpoint. The OpenAI speech proxy now honors the text-to-speech permission, so it can no longer be used by people who are not allowed to use that feature. #25993
🎲 Model access enforced on arena fallback. Reaching a model indirectly through an arena model on background and task requests now enforces that model's access rules, closing a path that could otherwise bypass them. #26046
⏰ Scheduled automations stop for deactivated accounts. Scheduled automations now re-check the owner's account status and permissions before each run, so they stop when an account is deactivated or has automations access revoked. #26047
🚧 Heavily encoded paths rejected behind the proxy. Request paths that remain encoded after repeated decoding are now rejected instead of forwarded, preventing a path traversal that could otherwise slip through. #26050
🌐 Image URL fetches hardened against DNS rebinding. Fetching user-supplied image URLs now re-checks the destination address at connection time, closing a path that could be used to reach internal addresses behind a public hostname. #25960
🛂 Web fetch blocklist matches on hostname. The web fetch filter now matches entries against the request's hostname on domain boundaries, so blocked hosts can no longer slip through with an added path and lookalike domains are no longer mistaken for allowed ones. #25949
🪪 MCP connectors request least-privilege scopes. MCP connectors that register dynamically over OAuth now request only the scopes for the specific resource rather than the authorization server's full catalog. #25958
🙈 Channel member lists no longer expose private data. Viewing a channel's members now returns only basic profile details, instead of also exposing other members' settings, linked-account data, and personal information. Commit
🛟 SCIM sync can't demote an admin. A SCIM provisioning sync that marks a user inactive can no longer strip an existing administrator's role, preventing an instance from being locked out of its own administration. #25948
👻 Collaborative notes reject unauthenticated presence events. The remaining real-time note-collaboration events now require an authenticated session, so presence and cursors can no longer be spoofed by someone who only knows a note's ID. #25946
⏱️ Login timing no longer reveals which accounts exist. Sign-in now takes the same amount of time whether or not an account exists, removing a timing difference that could be used to discover valid accounts. Commit, Commit
🔌 Terminal connections can't be redirected to another user. Terminal session identifiers are now safely encoded before being passed upstream, closing a way to tamper with the connection's user identity. #26042
📡 Real-time events only reach your own session. The server now verifies that a real-time event is delivered only to the requesting user's own active session, instead of trusting a client-supplied session identifier. #25763
🔓 Revoked sessions are rejected on real-time connections. Real-time and terminal WebSocket connections now honor token revocation and expiry, so a signed-out or expired session can no longer keep a live connection open. Commit, #25764, #25686
🕳️ Another DNS-rebinding gap closed in URL fetching. Fetching a URL's content now re-checks the destination address at connection time, closing another path that could reach internal addresses behind a public hostname. #25775
🗣️ Azure speech input is escaped. Voice and language values are now escaped when building Azure text-to-speech requests, preventing malformed or injected markup. #25776
⚙️ Interface settings update respects its permission. Saving interface settings now enforces the interface permission, so users without it can no longer change those settings through the API. #25996
🗄️ Unknown knowledge collections are denied by default. Retrieval now rejects unknown or unscoped collection names by default, closing a legacy path that could be used to reach collections outside the normal access checks. Commit
🙈 Error responses no longer leak internals. Server error responses now return sanitized messages instead of raw exception text, so internal details aren't exposed to signed-in users. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, #26375, #26374
📏 Upload size limit enforced on the server. The maximum upload size is now enforced server-side, so it can't be bypassed by a client that ignores the limit. Commit, Commit, #25869
🖼️ OAuth profile pictures are validated. Profile picture URLs from OAuth providers are now validated and their type checked when stored, preventing unsafe image sources. Commit, #24548
📦 Security updates to frontend dependencies. Several frontend dependencies were updated to patch known security vulnerabilities. #26281
🤝 Chat sharing respects the user-sharing permission. The share-chat dialog now hides the option to share with specific users from people who lack that permission, matching the access rules enforced elsewhere. #25915
📤 Chat export respects its permission everywhere. Every chat export menu now checks the export permission, so users without it can no longer export chats through one of the dropdown menus. #25914
📂 File write access requires real ownership. Editing or deleting a file through a knowledge base or workspace model now requires that the object's owner actually owns the file, so a read-only file can no longer gain write access by being referenced from an object you control. #26032
🖌️ Image edit endpoint enforces permission. The image-edit endpoint now checks the image-edit switch and the image-generation permission, matching image generation, so it can't be called by users who lack access. #26009
📁 Folder permission enforced on all folder actions. Every folder operation now checks the folders permission, so the setting is respected consistently instead of only when listing folders. Commit
🧩 Code Execution settings collapse when off. The Code Execution settings section now collapses when the toggle is disabled, keeping the settings page tidy. #25970
📅 German date format in Notes. Dates in the Notes view now display correctly for German, where they previously failed to render. #25985
🎙️ ElevenLabs speech keeps working when voices can't load. Text-to-speech through ElevenLabs no longer fails when the available-voice list can't be fetched, instead of rejecting every voice. Commit, #26075
🪟 Default Permissions modal resets on close. Closing the Default Permissions dialog without saving now discards unsaved edits instead of keeping them around the next time you open it. Commit
👯 Side-by-side chat with the same model. Running two panes with the same model no longer leaves one pane stuck waiting or showing the other pane's reply after a reload, since each pane's messages are now tracked separately. Commit, #25982
💾 Model edits no longer lost when changing access. Adjusting a model's access no longer auto-saves on its own and discards your other unsaved changes to that model. #26004
🔧 Parallel tool calls over the Anthropic-compatible API. External Anthropic-compatible clients calling Open WebUI's messages endpoint now receive tool calls reliably when a model issues several at once or returns them in its final message. Commit, #25963, #25964
🗃️ Prompt caching preserved over the Anthropic-compatible API. Requests through the Anthropic-compatible API now keep their prompt-caching markers instead of having them stripped, so clients that rely on caching work as intended. Commit, #25998, #25964
🔁 Fewer redundant data loads. Several views no longer fire duplicate background fetches at once, avoiding occasional glitches from overlapping requests. #25943, #25942, #25934, #25935, #25838, Commit
🔎 Steadier search boxes across admin and workspace. Search fields for users, knowledge, prompts, tools, and similar lists now run only as you type and reset to the first page correctly, instead of occasionally re-searching on their own. Commit, #25938
📊 Admin feedback list loads again on PostgreSQL. The admin feedback list no longer fails to load on PostgreSQL setups, where it previously returned a server error. Commit, #25953
🗂️ Deleting nested folders checks chats correctly. Deleting a folder that contains subfolders now accounts for the chats inside those subfolders when applying the delete-permission check, instead of only the top-level folder's chats. Commit, #25920
🖱️ Dragging chats into folders is more reliable. Dragging a chat into a folder no longer throws an error in cases where the chat couldn't be resolved. #25928
🛠️ Workspace menu shows for the skills permission. Users who only have the skills permission now see the Workspace entry in their menu, which previously appeared only for other workspace permissions. #25925
🧠 Admins can always reach memories. Administrators can now use the memories endpoints regardless of the memories permission toggle, matching how admin access works for other features. #25924
🖼️ Image settings page survives a config load failure. The admin image settings page no longer crashes when its configuration fails to load, showing the page instead. #25933
🧵 Code blocks render in channel threads. Code blocks now display correctly in a channel's thread view, where duplicated message identifiers previously broke their rendering. Commit, #25917
🔵 No more false unread badges on chats. Chats no longer show an unread indicator after automatic changes like title generation or pinning, archiving, and moving them between folders, and newly created chats are marked read correctly so they don't appear unread after a refresh. #25912, #25782, #25108
📌 Pinned notes stay in sync. Pinning, unpinning, or deleting a note now updates the sidebar's pinned list consistently, instead of showing a stale pin state. #25918, #25640
📅 All-day calendar events keep their date. Saving an all-day calendar event no longer shifts it by a day for users in certain time zones. #25864
🧷 Damaged chat history recovers more reliably. When a chat's current position is missing or points at a malformed message, Open WebUI now repairs it from the latest valid message — on both the client and the server — instead of risking a broken history view. Commit, Commit, #26298, #26258, #26257
💾 Saving a chat no longer drops messages. Chat updates are now merged with the existing history on the server, with explicit tracking of deleted messages, instead of overwriting it, preventing message loss from concurrent or partial saves. Commit, Commit, Commit, #25657
📺 Channel message updates stay in their channel. Streaming updates to a channel message are now skipped if the message no longer exists or belongs to a different channel, preventing stray updates. Commit
📌 Pinned channel messages update for everyone. Pinning or unpinning a channel message now updates live for all members and works from thread views, instead of only changing for the person who pinned it. Commit
📄 Mistral OCR uploads work again. Document OCR through Mistral has been repaired after an upstream library change broke its file uploads. #25779
🗂️ Chroma collection detection fixed. Open WebUI now correctly detects existing Chroma collections, fixing a case where it always reported them as missing. #25780
📊 Vega-Lite charts render reliably. Vega-Lite charts in chat are now detected by their code block language tag, so they render correctly. #25843
🏷️ Long chat tag lists scroll. The tags section in the chat menu now scrolls instead of overflowing when a chat has many tags. #26031
⌨️ Enter key shows correctly on iOS. The Enter key symbol in the keyboard shortcuts list no longer renders as an emoji on iOS. #26173
🔗 Whitespace in names no longer breaks MCP connections. User name and info headers are now trimmed before being forwarded, fixing MCP connection failures when a display name contained leading or trailing whitespace. #26182, #26181
🈳 Search no longer fires mid-composition. Typing in search with an input method editor (such as Japanese, Chinese, or Korean) no longer triggers a search when you press Enter to confirm a composition. #26238, #26285, #26172
🧰 Valves icon stays visible. The icon for configuring valves no longer disappears, so user-configurable tool and function settings remain reachable. #26256
🎛️ Chat controls persist across navigation. Edits to chat controls are now kept when navigating between chats, and reverting a control to the chat's saved value persists correctly, instead of being lost. #26336, #25793
🔍 Chat search tool handles empty queries. The built-in chat search tool no longer crashes when called with an empty query. Commit, #26310
📑 More robust MinerU document processing. Document processing through MinerU now handles its ZIP results more safely, including very large outputs. Commit, #26263
⏰ Scheduled automations with session-auth tools work. Automations that use session-authenticated tools or terminals now authenticate correctly when running on a schedule, instead of failing. Commit, #26247, #26137
📝 Model system prompt preserved with knowledge. A model's system prompt is no longer dropped when knowledge retrieval runs with native tool calling. Commit, #26217
🔑 Expired sessions return you to sign-in. When a request fails because your session has expired, Open WebUI now redirects you to the sign-in page instead of leaving you on a broken view. Commit, #26237
🎯 Ejecting a workspace model unloads the right model. Unloading a workspace model now resolves to its underlying base model, so the correct model is freed from memory. Commit, #26269
🔄 Edited models refresh in the admin list. After editing a model in the admin settings, the models list now updates right away instead of needing a manual reload. Commit
🗂️ Workspace model bulk actions and search work across pages. Bulk actions on workspace models now apply across all of them, and search results paginate correctly. #26274
🧩 MCP resource results come through. Tool results that return resource content — including binary blobs and URI references — are no longer silently dropped, and image results are attached as files. #25260, #24038, Commit
🔗 Broader MCP server compatibility for OAuth. Open WebUI now discovers an MCP server's protected resource metadata even when the server doesn't advertise it, and recognizes more OAuth preflight variations, so more MCP servers connect. #25980, #25954, Commit, #26068
📤 Clearer upload error messages. Failed uploads now show a readable explanation instead of an opaque error stub. #25961
📋 Cloned prompts get a proper title. Cloning a prompt now adds the clone suffix to the correct field, so the duplicate is named as expected. #25800
📐 Long default group names don't overflow. A long default group name no longer overflows its row in the admin authentication settings. #25685
🖐️ Sidebar drags don't trigger uploads. Dragging a chat item in the sidebar no longer shows the file-upload overlay. #25675
🔁 Recovers from a stuck streaming response. If the signal that a response finished is missed — for example after a mobile app is backgrounded mid-stream — Open WebUI now recovers the chat instead of leaving it stuck in a streaming state. Commit, Commit, Commit, #26320, #26315
🧠 Model skills load on demand instead of filling the prompt. A model's attached skills are now presented to the model as a manifest it can load when needed, rather than having their full content inserted into the system prompt; skills you mention inline still get their content included directly. Commit, Commit, #25592, #25599
🗂️ Empty metadata no longer breaks Chroma indexing. Document metadata with empty values is now filtered out before indexing, fixing a case that could fail on Chroma. Commit, #26342, #26339
🔁 Updating a knowledge file won't break the knowledge base. When a file's content is updated, its new embeddings are now added before the old ones are removed, so a failed reindex leaves the knowledge base intact and usable instead of empty. Commit, #23789, #23787
🔤 Documents with special tokens index correctly. Measuring chunk sizes no longer fails when a document contains text that looks like a special token. #26210
📝 Note file attachments stay in sync. Updating the files attached to a note now keeps the editor and saved note in sync. Commit
📱 Better banner layout on mobile. Notification banners now lay out correctly on small screens. Commit, #24912
📂 Knowledge file listing includes attached files. Listing files through the knowledge tools now also shows files attached directly to a model, not only those inside a knowledge base, fixing cases where listing returned no results for a model with a single attached file. Commit, #26301
🏷️ Chat titles generate after long first responses. A new chat now gets its title even when the first response takes a long time, such as one with extensive reasoning or many tool calls, instead of staying "New Chat". Commit, #26240
🔌 Cancelling an MCP request no longer errors. Stopping a response that was using MCP tools now shuts the connection down cleanly instead of surfacing a server error. Commit
🧠 Reasoning details preserved across turns. Models that return structured or encrypted reasoning data, such as Gemini, no longer have their assistant message split mid-stream, keeping reasoning continuity across turns. Commit, #23852
📡 Error messages show for non-standard streaming responses. Providers that send errors over non-standard server-sent events now surface a readable error instead of nothing. #23228
🔑 Whitespace in terminal server keys no longer breaks auth. Terminal server API keys are now trimmed before use, so a key with stray leading or trailing whitespace still authenticates. Commit, Commit
🔥 One bad URL no longer fails Firecrawl scraping. When fetching multiple pages through Firecrawl, a single failing URL is now skipped instead of aborting the whole batch, and rate limits are respected between requests. Commit, #24183
📱 Usable chat input on mobile with many tools. When skills, tools, terminal, web search, and image generation buttons fill the chat input, the row of buttons now scrolls horizontally while the menu, voice, and send controls stay reachable, instead of pushing them off-screen. Commit, #26142
👤 Owner avatars only show on shared folders. Chat owner avatars in a folder's chat list now appear only when the folder is actually shared, instead of showing whenever owner information happened to be present. Commit
📜 No stray scrollbar on the About page. Extra spacing that caused an unnecessary scrollbar on the About settings page has been removed. #25802
🚪 Sign out works from the Account Pending page. Signing out while your account is pending now goes through the proper sign-out flow, so single sign-on sessions are ended and you are no longer left stuck on the pending screen. #25681, #25644
🔢 Built-in tools accept numeric arguments. Built-in tools no longer crash when a model passes a number or a string where a specific scalar type is expected; values are now coerced to the declared type. Commit, #25638, #25731, #25641
⏱️ MinerU timeout saves. The MinerU API timeout can now be saved from the admin settings, accepting a numeric value. Commit, #25604, #25603
🔧 Background completion no longer clears active tasks. Finishing a chat in the background no longer wipes the set of active tasks, fixing a case where ongoing task indicators could be lost. Commit, #25217
👁️ Workspace base model selector respects visibility. The base model selector in the workspace now hides models you don't have access to, matching their visibility settings. #25668
🧵 Channel threads bind to the right channel. A channel thread's parent and replies are now tied to the channel in the URL, preventing mismatches when switching channels. #25766
🗑️ Unsharing cleans up orphaned rows. Unsharing a chat now handles leftover shared-chat records, avoiding stale entries. #25632
🔎 Web search results reach the model with retrieval on. Web search results are now passed to the model even when embedding and retrieval are enabled, instead of being left out. #25600
🔢 Group count follows search. The groups count now reflects the filtered search results instead of the full list. #25689
␣ Space key works when renaming. Pressing space while renaming a file or folder no longer opens it, so spaces can be typed in names. #25627
🩹 Missing local embedding model no longer blocks startup. A missing local embedding model now surfaces as a deferred error instead of preventing the server from starting. #25683
🔤 Consistent settings label capitalization. Toggle labels in settings now use consistent title casing. #25765
♿ Better screen-reader labels on toggles. Integration and switch toggles now expose proper accessibility labels and pressed state for screen readers. #25258, #25230
📜 Long dropdowns scroll. Dropdown selects now scroll when their list is long, so all options stay reachable. Commit, #25608
🔽 Collapsible sections don't misfire on load. Collapsible sections no longer trigger their change action when first rendered, avoiding unintended toggles on page load. Commit, #25229
➗ Large math expressions no longer crash rendering. Parsing math delimiters no longer overflows on very large or deeply nested input, so messages with heavy math render instead of failing. #25845
🗄️ Oversized chunks no longer break Milvus indexing. Overly long text chunks are now trimmed before being sent to Milvus, so a single large chunk can no longer fail the whole batch and leave a file with no embeddings. #25857, #25858
📝 Code editor stays open when empty. The code editor drawer no longer collapses when its content is empty. #25855
💽 Settings no longer lost after a restart. Admin configuration is now stored more reliably, fixing cases where external connections and model parameters could be lost after restarting the server. Commit, Commit, Commit, #24743, #25911, #25959
📜 Visible chat scrollbar. The chat area now shows a scrollbar, making it easier to scroll through long responses. Commit, #25833
🎚️ Default model parameters apply to requests. Default model parameters are now applied to outbound requests, so settings like temperature and the context window take effect as configured. Commit, Commit, #24930, #26209
🟢 Ollama loaded-model indicator restored. The indicator showing which Ollama model is loaded in VRAM works again after recent changes. #25586, #25732
🪪 Static MCP connectors recover missing OAuth details. MCP connectors configured with static OAuth credentials now fill in a missing scope or resource from the server's published metadata, so they connect correctly instead of failing when those values were left out. Commit, #25898
📊 Token usage and cost stats no longer wiped by background tasks. A response's token usage and cost are now preserved when background tasks like title, tag, and follow-up generation run on the same chat, instead of being overwritten. Commit
🔗 Model share link updated. Sharing a model now opens the current community post page, fixing the link that pointed at the old endpoint. #25801
Changed
⚠️ Database Migrations: This update contains database migrations. Please be sure to back up your database before updating, as downgrading after the migration is not supported.
🔔 System events now fire automatically. With the new event system, Open WebUI emits events for activity like startup, sign-ins, and configuration changes, so any webhook you already have configured may begin receiving calls for these newly emitted events after upgrading. Review your event and webhook settings after updating so you only receive the events you want. Commit
🔀 Native tool calling is now the default. Every chat and model that had not explicitly chosen a tool-calling mode now runs Native, which relies on a model's built-in tool support, while the old behavior has been renamed "Legacy" and made the explicit opt-out; if your models depend on the previous approach you must switch them back to "Legacy" per chat, per model, or globally in your default model parameters to preserve their behavior. Commit
🗂️ Authentication settings moved to their own page. LDAP, OAuth, and related authentication settings have moved out of the General settings page into a dedicated Authentication page in the admin panel. Commit
🎓 Several features are no longer beta. Memories, Notes, Channels, and High Contrast Mode have graduated out of beta and no longer carry a beta label. Commit
🔧 Local web fetch setting renamed. The "ENABLE_RAG_LOCAL_WEB_FETCH" environment variable is now "ENABLE_LOCAL_WEB_FETCH", reflecting that it applies beyond retrieval; the old name still works as a deprecated alias. Commit
🔧 You.com search key renamed. You.com web search now prefers the "YDC_API_KEY" environment variable, with the previous "YOUCOM_API_KEY" still accepted as a fallback. Commit, #26316
🧪 Client-side Python now runs sandboxed. Client-side Python (Pyodide) now runs in a sandboxed, opaque-origin iframe by default, isolating executed code from your session, cookies, local storage, and the app's own endpoints, while full Python, JavaScript, and external network access keep working. Code that relied on reaching same-origin Open WebUI endpoints from Pyodide will no longer be able to, and Pyodide is now marked legacy in the admin Code Execution settings.

Original source

Added

📦 Official knowledge base sync tool. A new companion tool from Open WebUI, oikb, keeps a knowledge base in sync with a local directory, GitHub repo, S3 bucket, Confluence space, or any of more than 40 other sources, uploading only new and changed files using the incremental sync support added in this release. oikb

📂 Smart directory sync for knowledge bases. Local directories can now be synced into a knowledge base in one action: file checksums are compared against what's already stored, and only added or modified files are uploaded while removed files and orphaned subdirectories are cleaned up, with the directory structure mirrored automatically and per-file progress shown throughout. #19190, #19394, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

🗂️ Knowledge base folders. Files inside a knowledge base can now be organized into nested folders, with breadcrumb navigation that makes it much easier to manage and find content in large collections. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

🧰 Filesystem tool for knowledge bases. A new built-in tool, enabled via the "ENABLE_KB_EXEC" environment variable, lets AI models browse and search knowledge base contents using familiar filesystem commands such as 'ls', 'cat', 'grep', 'find', 'head', 'tail', and 'sed', including pipes between them. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit

✏️ File renaming in knowledge bases. Files inside a knowledge base can now be renamed directly from the workspace, with the new name reflected wherever the file is referenced. Commit

😀 Emoji picker in message input. A new emoji button in the rich text formatting toolbar lets you browse and insert emojis directly into your messages. #24704

🪄 Per-chat skills toggle. Skills can now be turned on or off for a conversation directly from the chat Integrations menu, the same way tools and capabilities already work, instead of only through the model preset. #25036, #25037

🔎 Access preview for users and groups. Administrators can now preview exactly which models, knowledge bases, and tools a given user or group can access, making it easier to audit and verify permission setups. Commit

📄 Configurable knowledge base file page size. Administrators can now request a larger page size when listing a knowledge base's files through the API, reducing the number of requests needed to retrieve large collections instead of paging through fixed increments of 30. #25148, Commit

🔃 Persistent processing indicator for knowledge files. Files still being processed in a knowledge base now keep showing a processing indicator across page reloads, so you can tell what's still ingesting after navigating away and back. #25031, Commit

📑 MinerU file type configuration. Administrators can now configure which file types are processed by the MinerU document loader, via the new "MINERU_FILE_EXTENSIONS" setting, extending it beyond PDF to formats like DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX. Commit

📃 Legacy Word document support. Older ".doc" Word files can now have their text extracted by the default document extraction engine, in addition to the modern ".docx" format. Commit

📁 Create subfolders from the folder header. Chat folders can now have subfolders created directly from the folder header in the chat view, not just from the sidebar. Commit

⚡ Faster initial page loads. The configuration endpoint that loads on every page visit no longer runs an unnecessary user-count query, making the initial application load lighter on the database, especially on instances with many users. Commit

🚀 Faster tool-enabled chat completions. Chat completions that use multiple tools now start faster because the tools they reference are fetched from the database in a single batch query instead of one query per tool. #24808, Commit

🏎️ More responsive web search under load. Web search through SearXNG, Google PSE, Brave, Serper, and Serpstack now uses non-blocking network calls, so the server stays responsive to other users while a search is in flight, and concurrent multi-query searches complete faster. Commit

🐎 Lighter Ollama backend connections. Requests to Ollama backends now reuse a shared connection pool instead of opening a fresh session each time, reducing TCP and TLS handshake overhead for installs that poll Ollama frequently or have multiple backends configured. Commit

💽 Fewer redundant model-list writes. On multi-instance deployments backed by Redis, the model list is no longer rewritten when it hasn't changed, cutting a major source of redundant writes. #25469, #25474, Commit

📉 Faster websocket disconnect cleanup. Disconnecting from a collaborative session no longer triggers a scan across the entire Redis keyspace, using a per-session index instead, which keeps disconnects cheap on large deployments. #25466, Commit

📝 Frontmatter auto-fill for tools, functions, and skills. Opening a tool, function, or skill editor now auto-fills the name, id, and description fields from the file's frontmatter, saving you from re-entering metadata already declared in the source. #24649, Commit

🪪 More user placeholders in custom headers. Custom-header templates for direct connections and tool servers now support "{{USER_EMAIL}}" and "{{USER_ROLE}}" alongside the existing user and session placeholders. Commit

⏱️ Configurable MCP connection timeout. The timeout for the initial handshake with an MCP tool server is now configurable via the new "MCP_INITIALIZE_TIMEOUT" setting, so servers that are slow to start or expose many tools can finish connecting instead of timing out. #25011, Commit

📐 Profile image size limit. Administrators can now cap the size of inline profile images via the new "PROFILE_IMAGE_MAX_DATA_URI_SIZE" setting, bounding how much database and cache space inline avatars and model icons can consume. #25468, #25476

🎫 Wildcard OAuth role mapping. Administrators can now set "*" in the allowed OAuth roles to grant the user role to any authenticated OAuth user, instead of having to enumerate every accepted role. #25062, Commit

📊 Paginated feedback history. The feedback and evaluation history list is now paginated, keeping it responsive for instances that have accumulated large numbers of feedback entries. Commit

🔘 Bulk enable or disable automations. Automations can now be enabled or disabled in bulk from an actions menu on the automations page, instead of toggling each one individually. Commit

➡️ Optional auto-redirect to single sign-on. Administrators can now enable "OAUTH_AUTO_REDIRECT" so that, on deployments with a single sign-on provider and no other login methods, users are sent straight to the provider instead of seeing a login page first. #25067, Commit

☁️ Azure AI Foundry v1 with Entra ID. Open WebUI now supports Azure AI Foundry's OpenAI v1 endpoint together with Microsoft Entra ID authentication, so these connections work without manual workarounds. #24761, #24985, Commit

🌎 Linkup web search provider. Administrators can now select Linkup as the web search provider from the admin settings, with options to configure the API key and search depth. #24752, Commit

🧊 Valkey vector database support. Valkey can now be used as the vector database backend, configurable through new "VALKEY_URL" and related settings including index type, distance metric, and HNSW tuning. #24769, Commit

🔄 General improvements. Various improvements were implemented across the application to enhance performance, stability, and security.

🌐 Translation updates. Translations for Spanish (Spain), Swedish, German, Korean, Catalan, Russian, Irish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Finnish, Polish, Turkish, and Malay were enhanced and expanded.

Fixed

🛡️ Security Advisory: This release includes security and access-control fixes. We recommend updating production deployments at your earliest convenience. Not all security fixes in this version may be enumerated in the fixed section — some may be withheld for a short time to give administrators time to upgrade. Advisories

🛡️ Tool server permission enforcement. The per-user permission for inline tool servers is now enforced on chat-completion requests, so users without that permission can no longer bypass the admin setting by supplying tool servers directly in their requests. Commit

🔒 Knowledge base access check in search tool. The built-in knowledge search tool now verifies that the caller can access a knowledge base before searching it by id, preventing users from reading the contents of knowledge bases they have not been granted access to. #25113

🗄️ Cross-user access to retrieval collections. Resolving the documents used for retrieval now verifies the caller's access to each referenced file and rejects client-supplied collection names, preventing a crafted request from pulling another user's files or vector collections into its context. Commit

🔣 Collection name validation. Vector collection names are now rejected unless they contain only safe characters, preventing malformed names from reaching the vector store or breaking out of a database query expression. #24982

🚫 Unscoped retrieval collections denied by default. Retrieval requests for collection names that don't correspond to a known file, memory, web-search, or knowledge base are now denied for non-admins by default, with a new "ENABLE_RETRIEVAL_UNSCOPED_COLLECTIONS" setting to restore the previous behavior if needed. Commit

📜 Prompt history authorization. Comparing, deleting, and restoring prompt versions now verify the history entry belongs to the prompt you're authorized for, preventing access to or modification of another prompt's version history. #25056

🚦 Code interpreter permission on the legacy path. The legacy code-execution path now enforces the same permission and capability checks as the current one, so users without the code interpreter permission can no longer trigger code execution through it. #24724

🧱 API key endpoint restriction bypass. The endpoint allow-list that limits which paths an API key may reach is now matched against the routed request path directly, preventing a crafted request from slipping past the restriction. #25123

🚧 System prompt bypass via request parameter. The flag that skips a model's configured system prompt can no longer be set by external clients through a request parameter, so admin-configured system prompts can't be bypassed from the API. #25156

🚪 Terminal proxy path traversal. The terminal proxy now fully decodes request paths before validating them, blocking multi-encoded payloads that could otherwise escape the intended path. #25157

🪤 Cache file path traversal. The cache file server now requires an exact directory boundary match, closing a gap where a sibling directory whose name began with the cache directory's name could be used to serve files from outside it. #25086

🔀 Ollama backend selection access check. Requests can no longer target an arbitrary Ollama backend by index; a caller-supplied backend selector is now verified against the backends that actually serve the requested model. Commit

🔓 Cross-user file exfiltration via image URLs. When a chat message references a file by id in an "image_url" field, the server now resolves that file only for its owner, an administrator, or a user with an explicit read grant, preventing other authenticated users from extracting a file's contents by routing it through the model. #24625, Commit

📌 Chat file attachment access checks. Attaching files to a chat now links only files the caller can read, preventing a user from associating another user's file with their chat to access its contents. #25054

🧾 Model knowledge file ownership checks. Creating or updating a model now verifies that any knowledge files attached to it are files the editor can access, preventing another user's files from being attached to a model. #25055, Commit

📅 Calendar event move authorization. Updating a calendar event to move it into a different calendar now requires write access on the destination calendar, preventing users from injecting events into calendars they cannot write to. #24764

📣 Channel chat access control. Generating a response in a channel context now verifies the caller's access to that channel and scopes the included messages, preventing access to channels or messages the user isn't permitted to see. #24725

🕸️ Web loader SSRF gating with Playwright. When the Playwright-based web loader is in use, page navigations and redirects are now validated the same way as the default loader, closing a gap where the Playwright path could reach internal or otherwise blocked URLs. #24756

🛂 DNS rebinding protection for URL fetches. The IP address validated for an outbound URL fetch is now the same one used for the actual connection, closing a DNS rebinding window where an attacker-controlled hostname could resolve to a public IP during the safety check and then to a private IP when the connection was opened. #24759

🪞 OAuth profile picture redirect handling. The OAuth profile picture fetch now follows redirects only when administrators have explicitly allowed it, closing a window where a redirect from an externally validated URL could be used to reach internal addresses. #24809

🧼 Model profile image script injection. Model profile images are now validated on save and only served inline when they are a known-safe image type, preventing a crafted SVG profile image from running scripts in other users' browsers, while existing legacy images that fail validation are cleared gracefully instead of breaking the model list. #25060, #25173

🧯 Diagram rendering script injection. Mermaid diagrams rendered in chat are now sanitized before display, preventing a crafted diagram from running scripts in the viewer's browser. #25219

🔐 Shared-chat file write protection. Access to a file through a shared chat now only grants read access, so users who can read a shared chat can no longer modify or delete files attached to it. #24755

🔏 Cross-origin embed prompt control. When Open WebUI is embedded in an iframe on a different origin, the embedding page can now only drive the chat input or submit prompts if the user has explicitly opted in via the "iframe Sandbox Allow Same Origin" setting, preventing untrusted host pages from triggering confirmation dialogs or controlling the chat. #24767, Commit

🗂️ Chat folder ownership checks. Creating a chat or updating a chat's folder now verifies the referenced folder belongs to the current user, preventing chats from being associated with folders owned by other people. #24588

🧩 Chat recovery from corrupted history. Chats whose internal message graph was left in a malformed state by a failed regeneration now open and load correctly, with missing roles, parent references, and current-message pointers reconstructed automatically instead of breaking the chat. #24424, #24157, #20474, #24799, Commit

📨 Imported chats with folders appear correctly. Importing grouped chats no longer leaves them invisible when a referenced folder is missing; such chats now appear in the chat list instead of being silently orphaned. #24910, Commit

🎟️ MCP tool server sessions stay connected. OAuth-authenticated MCP tool server sessions are no longer mistakenly refreshed and deleted by the single sign-on session handler, so those connections stay active. #24618, Commit

🤝 MCP OAuth scope discovery. The OAuth flow for MCP tool servers now reads the scopes a server advertises through its Protected Resource Metadata, so connecting to servers that declare their own scopes succeeds. #24730, #24690

🔍 Web search reliability. Web search again fetches page content reliably with the default web loader engine, a new "USER_AGENT" environment variable lets administrators set a real browser user-agent so fetches aren't blocked by Cloudflare, Wikipedia, and other bot-detection systems, and the startup script no longer fails to launch when these new environment variables are unset. #24560, #24793, #24683, Commit

🔥 Firecrawl web search results. Web search using Firecrawl now returns results correctly regardless of which response format the Firecrawl version uses. #24712

🦅 Kagi web search. Web search using Kagi works again after its API endpoint and request method were updated to match Kagi's current API. #25015

🔢 Bracketed numbers in code blocks. Numbers in square brackets such as "[0]" inside code blocks are no longer stripped out as if they were source citations, so code displays and copies correctly. #24948, Commit

🔌 API chat completions reliability. Direct calls to the chat completions API no longer fail with an internal error when no chat session identifier is supplied. #24553, #25235, Commit, Commit

🖼️ ComfyUI image generation and editing. Generating and editing images via a ComfyUI backend now works again, including when ComfyUI is hosted on a private or internal network where URL validation was previously blocking the admin-configured endpoint. #24565, Commit, Commit

🖌️ Image generation with non-standard response headers. Image generation now works with backends that return valid JSON without a standard content-type header, instead of rejecting the response. #24838

🐘 Knowledge search on large documents. Searching knowledge bases on PostgreSQL no longer fails when scanning across documents with very large extracted text content. #24670, Commit

💬 Chat title generation. Automatically generated chat titles now use the model currently selected in the dropdown for the active chat and fall back to the model from the active message branch otherwise, and a clear message is shown if no model is available instead of an unhelpful error. #24604, #24745, Commit, Commit

🧮 Message search and analytics consistency. Edits, deletions, and branch changes made in a chat are now reflected in message search results and analytics counts instead of leaving stale entries behind. #25205, Commit

🩹 Graceful handling of in-chat task failures. When web search query generation, image prompt generation, or a tool call fails or references a missing tool, the chat now falls back or surfaces a clear error instead of breaking partway through the response. #25038, #25144, Commit

🎛️ Filter changes to message output. Filter functions that modify a message's structured output after generation now have those changes saved and displayed, instead of being discarded when only the output, not the text content, was changed. #24884

⏩ Titles and tags reflect filtered output. Outlet filters now run before automatic title, tag, and follow-up generation, so those are based on the final filtered message instead of the unfiltered version. #24717

💾 Action-replaced message content persists. Message content replaced by an action function through its event emitter is now kept when the chat is saved, instead of reverting to the original after a page reload. #24585, #25485

🏷️ Skill mentions in messages. Mentioning a skill in a message now keeps the skill's name as readable text instead of removing it, and selecting a skill without typing anything no longer causes an error on providers that reject empty messages. #24929, Commit

🧹 Usage timer cleanup on send failure. The background usage-stats timer started during message generation is now always cleared, even when sending a message fails, preventing leaked timers from accumulating over a session. #25478

🗑️ Background tasks stop when a chat is removed. Deleting or archiving a chat now cancels any in-flight generation or title and tag tasks for it, instead of leaving orphaned background work running. #25050, Commit

⌨️ Responsive knowledge file search. Searching for knowledge files in the chat picker and model knowledge selector now matches on file names by default instead of scanning the full extracted text of every document on each keystroke, keeping the search responsive on large deployments, with content search available as an explicit opt-in. #25082, #25119, Commit

📥 Document processing with empty embeddings. Saving documents to the vector database no longer crashes when an embedding step returns no vectors, allowing the process to continue instead of failing the whole upload. #25166

🔤 Non-UTF-8 text and CSV uploads. Text and CSV files saved in legacy encodings, including Latin-1, Windows-1252, and Chinese encodings such as GB18030, are now detected and loaded correctly instead of being rejected as binary or failing with an empty-content error. #25172, #24973, Commit, Commit

🧽 Null bytes in nested data no longer break saves. Data containing null bytes nested inside structured fields is now sanitized correctly before being written, preventing database errors that the previous check failed to catch. #25018, Commit

🧠 Clear error when no embedding model is configured. Using knowledge or retrieval features without a loaded embedding model now returns a clear setup error explaining what to configure, instead of failing with a cryptic crash. Commit

🧲 Memory search quality. Memory searches now apply the configured embedding query prefix, so retrieval works correctly with embedding models that require one for queries. #24921, Commit

📚 Knowledge tool context overflow. The built-in tool that lists a model's knowledge no longer dumps every file in every knowledge base into the model's context; it now returns summaries by default and paginates file listings only for a requested knowledge base. #25105, Commit

⏳ Terminal session stability. The terminal proxy no longer hangs when one direction of the connection closes before the other, so terminal sessions shut down cleanly instead of stalling. #25464, #25479

🧷 Tool call continuity with strict providers. Chats that contain incomplete tool calls or orphaned tool results no longer fail to continue when sent to providers that strictly validate tool pairings, such as Anthropic and AWS Bedrock Converse. #24758, #24940, #24798, Commit

🛑 Stream termination for pipe functions. Streamed responses from pipe functions now always send the standard end-of-stream marker, so chat clients and external integrations reliably detect when a response is complete instead of waiting on streams that already finished. #24763

🔊 Non-blocking text-to-speech transcoding. Converting text-to-speech audio to MP3 no longer blocks the server's event loop, so other requests stay responsive even while a TTS response is being transcoded. #24876

🎚️ Default text-to-speech voice. Text-to-speech requests now honor the voice specified in the request and fall back to the configured default only when none is given, instead of always using the admin default or failing. #15143, #25035, Commit, Commit

🪝 Reliable knowledge base file linking. Files uploaded to a knowledge collection are now linked on the server as part of the upload itself, so they remain attached to the collection even if you navigate away or close the page before processing finishes. #24807, Commit

☁️ Azure connections on custom hostnames. Connections marked as the Azure provider now use the Azure code path even when the endpoint does not contain "azure" in its hostname, fixing custom Azure deployments served from non-standard domains. #24882, Commit

🗓️ Clearing calendar event fields. Removing the description or location from a calendar event now saves correctly instead of silently keeping the previous value. #25026, Commit, Commit

💭 Advanced parameter settings. Custom reasoning tags and custom model parameters are now saved correctly instead of being dropped, and the presence penalty and repeat penalty no longer save the frequency penalty's value instead of their own. #25183, #25200, #25204

📏 Long username display. Long usernames no longer overflow their containers in the admin user list, user modals, and sidebar. #25185

🎯 All skills selectable in the model editor. The model editor's skills selector now lists every skill you have access to, with a search box for large lists, instead of showing only the first 30 with no way to reach the rest. #24873, Commit

🔔 Accurate knowledge upload feedback. Dragging files into a knowledge base no longer shows an upload notification before the upload has actually been processed. #25484

♿ High-contrast timestamp readability. The user message timestamp now uses the correct colors in high-contrast mode instead of inverted ones, keeping it readable. #25461

♿ Keyboard and screen reader access to menus. The integrations, more-options, and user menus are now real buttons with labels and keyboard support, so they can be opened with the keyboard and announced by screen readers. Commit

🖱️ Focus-loss handling in editors. Workspace and admin editors for models, tools, functions, and skills again respond correctly when the browser window loses focus, after the wrong event name was being listened for. #25459

🛟 Resilience to corrupted local storage. Corrupted data in the browser's local storage no longer crashes the interface; affected settings and dismissed-banner state now fall back to safe defaults. #25481

📶 Quieter reconnection notifications. Brief connection interruptions, such as backgrounding a mobile tab, no longer flash a "connection lost" warning, and the "reconnected" message only appears if a disconnect was actually shown. Commit

🍎 Safari PDF handling. PDF processing now works in Safari, which doesn't support the stream iteration the previous code relied on. #25151, #25473

🎙️ Voice mode mute shortcut listing. The keyboard shortcut for muting voice mode now appears in the keyboard shortcuts help modal. #25193

📎 Document attachments in channel model replies. Tagging a model in a channel thread now forwards uploaded non-image documents such as PDFs and DOCX files into the model's context, so document summarization and comparison workflows that already worked in direct chat now work in channels too. #24896, #24898, Commit

🙈 Hidden models in channel mentions. Models marked as hidden no longer appear in the channel message-input model mention selector, matching how hidden models are excluded elsewhere in the interface. #24892

🧵 Channel thread and pinned message stability. Opening a channel thread or the pinned messages view no longer fails to render when a message or its data is missing. #25209

📺 YouTube short link transcripts. Pasting a "youtu.be" short link into a chat now loads the video transcript correctly instead of failing with an empty-content error. #24856, Commit

🙉 Hidden models in default-model and automation pickers. The admin pickers for default models and default pinned models, and the automation model dropdown, now filter out hidden models, consistent with how hidden models are treated elsewhere. #24869, Commit, Commit

🔊 Speech-to-text SSL setting honored. Speech-to-text requests now respect the "AIOHTTP_CLIENT_SESSION_SSL" setting, so administrators using self-signed certificates or custom SSL configurations can use STT engines that were previously failing TLS verification. #24568, #24857, Commit, Commit

🔗 Placeholders in MCP connection headers. Custom header templates configured on MCP server connections now have their "{{USER_ID}}", "{{USER_NAME}}", "{{USER_EMAIL}}", "{{USER_ROLE}}", "{{CHAT_ID}}", and "{{MESSAGE_ID}}" placeholders interpolated at request time, matching how custom headers already work for direct connections and tool servers. #24822

🪟 Bing search CLI smoke test. Running the Bing web-search module from the command line for a quick connectivity check no longer raises an error about missing arguments. #24765, #24768

🩺 Database health check recovery. After a transient database connection error, the health check endpoint now recovers automatically instead of staying permanently broken on the affected worker. Commit

🥾 Startup on non-Unicode consoles. Open WebUI no longer crashes at startup when the console can't encode the banner's box-drawing characters, such as on Windows or with redirected or headless output, falling back to a plain-text banner instead. #24965, #25482

🆕 First admin signup after a reset. Creating the first administrator account is no longer blocked by a previously stored signup setting, so a fresh or reset instance can always be bootstrapped. #24821

🪵 JSON exception logging. With JSON log formatting enabled, exceptions are now recorded correctly with a structured type, message, and stacktrace instead of being dropped, and a logging failure can no longer crash the application. #25135, Commit

🧭 Workspace skills permission. Users granted only the "workspace.skills" permission can now see the workspace entry in the sidebar and are correctly routed to the skills page from the workspace index. #24729

🔁 Resilient database migrations. Database migrations now skip tables, indexes, and columns that already exist and add missing primary keys to legacy tables, so upgrades succeed even when parts of the schema were manually or partially created beforehand. Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit, #24722

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.

⚙️ Tool-call iteration cap renamed and raised. The environment variable that limits how many tool calls a single chat response may make is now "CHAT_RESPONSE_MAX_TOOL_CALL_ITERATIONS", with its default raised from 30 to 256 and a new "-1" value for unlimited; the previous "CHAT_RESPONSE_MAX_TOOL_CALL_RETRIES" name continues to work as a fallback, and chats that hit the cap now show a clear error in-chat instead of stopping silently. #24918, Commit

🔐 Reduced public "/api/config" exposure. The "/api/config" response no longer includes several feature flags ("enable_api_keys", "enable_password_change_form", "enable_version_update_check", "enable_public_active_users_count", "enable_easter_eggs") for unauthenticated callers, reducing information disclosure to anonymous visitors. Commit, Commit

🔑 "WEBUI_SECRET_KEY" is now a hard requirement even for unsupported deployments. Deployments that start the backend in an explicitly unsupported way (such as invoking uvicorn directly) without setting "WEBUI_SECRET_KEY" will now refuse to start instead of falling back to an empty key; the supported start methods (start.sh, start_windows.bat, and "open-webui serve") still set or auto-generate it automatically, so standard deployments are unaffected. Direct Uvicorn startup is not supported. #25218

Original source

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.

📝 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.

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 prompt list loading. Prompt and prompt-tag pages now load much faster for non-admin users, even with large prompt libraries, because accessible prompts are filtered efficiently in a single database query. #24288, #24258

⚡ 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

🔄 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.

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.
🧨 Plugin async migration required. Custom plugins for Tools, Functions, and Pipelines may require migration to the new async backend signatures after upgrading, so plugin maintainers should update handlers and database call patterns for compatibility and follow the 0.9.0 plugin migration guide.

Previously, non-streaming responses saved NULL usage data, causing messages to be excluded from token aggregation queries. #22166
• ⌨️ Inline code typing. Fixed a bug where typing inline code with backticks incorrectly deleted the character immediately before the opening backtick, so text formatted as inline code now correctly produces the full word instead of missing the last character. #20417, Commit
• 📝 Variable input newlines. Fixed a bug where variables containing newlines were not displayed correctly in chat messages, and input values from Windows systems are now properly normalized to use standard line endings. #21447, Commit
• 📷 Android photo capture. Fixed an issue where the first photo taken in chat appeared completely black on some Android devices by using an alternative canvas export method. #22317
• 🪟 Open Terminal Windows path fix. Fixed a bug where navigating back to parent directories on Windows added an incorrect leading slash, causing directory loads to fail. Paths are now properly normalized for Windows drive letters. #22352, Commit
• 🖼️ Chat overview profile image sizing. Fixed a bug where profile images in the chat overview could shrink incorrectly in tight spaces. The images now maintain their proper size with the flex-shrink-0 property. #22261
• 📨 Queued messages display. Fixed an issue where queued messages could be cut off or hidden. The queued messages area now scrolls properly when content exceeds the visible area, showing up to 25% of the viewport height. #22176
• 🖌️ Image generation in temporary chats. Generated images now display correctly in temporary chat mode when using builtin image generation tools. Previously, images were not shown because the code was overwriting the image list with a null database response. #22330, #22309
• 🤖 Ollama model unload fix. Fixed a bug where unloading a model from Ollama via the Open WebUI proxy failed with a "Field required" error for the prompt field. The proxy now correctly allows omitting the prompt when using keep_alive: 0 to unload models. #22260, Commit
• 🏷️ Banner type dropdown fix. Fixed a bug where selecting a banner type required two clicks to register, as the first selection was being swallowed due to DOM structure changes. The dropdown now works correctly on the first click. #22378
• 📈 Analytics URL encoding fix. Fixed a bug where the Analytics page failed to load data for models with slashes in their ID, such as "anthropic/claude-opus-4.6". The frontend now properly URL-encodes forward slashes, allowing model analytics to load correctly. #22380, #22382
• 📋 Analytics chat list duplicate fix. Fixed a bug where the Analytics page chat list threw an "each_key_duplicate" Svelte error when chat IDs were duplicated during pagination. The fix adds deterministic ordering to prevent duplicate entries. #22383
• 📂 Folder knowledge base native tool call fix. Fixed a bug where folders with attached knowledge bases were querying the knowledge base twice when using native tool call mode. The fix now correctly separates knowledge files from regular attachments, letting the builtin query_knowledge_files tool handle knowledge searches instead of duplicating RAG queries. #22236, Commit, Commit
