[0.6.26] - 2025-08-28

Added

🛂 Granular Chat Interaction Permissions: Added fine-grained permission controls for individual chat actions including "Continue Response", "Regenerate Response", "Rate Response", and "Delete Messages". Administrators can now configure these permissions per user group or set system defaults via environment variables, providing enhanced security and governance by preventing potential system prompt leakage through response continuation and enabling precise control over user interactions with AI responses.
🧠 Custom Reasoning Tags Configuration: Added configurable reasoning tag detection for AI model responses, allowing administrators and users to customize how the system identifies and processes reasoning content. Users can now define custom reasoning tag pairs, use default tags like "think" and "reasoning", or disable reasoning detection entirely through the Advanced Parameters interface, providing enhanced control over AI thought process visibility.
📱 Pull-to-Refresh Support: Added pull-to-refresh functionality allowing user to easily refresh the interface by pulling down on the navbar area. This resolves timeout issues that occurred when temporarily switching away from the app during long AI response generations, eliminating the need to close and relaunch the PWA.
📁 Configurable File Upload Processing Mode: Added "process_in_background" query parameter to the file upload API endpoint, allowing clients to choose between asynchronous (default) and synchronous file processing. Setting "process_in_background=false" forces the upload request to wait until extraction and embedding complete, returning immediately usable files and simplifying integration for backend API consumers that prefer blocking calls over polling workflows.
🔐 Azure Document Intelligence DefaultAzureCredential Support: Added support for authenticating with Azure Document Intelligence using DefaultAzureCredential in addition to API key authentication, enabling seamless integration with Azure Entra ID and managed identity authentication for enterprise Azure environments.
🔐 Authentication Bootstrapping Enhancements: Added "ENABLE_INITIAL_ADMIN_SIGNUP" environment variable and "?form=true" URL parameter to enable initial admin user creation and forced login form display in SSO-only deployments. This resolves bootstrap issues where administrators couldn't create the first user when login forms were disabled, allowing proper initialization of SSO-configured deployments without requiring temporary configuration changes.
⚡ Query Generation Caching: Added "ENABLE_QUERIES_CACHE" environment variable to enable request-scoped caching of generated search queries. When both web search and file retrieval are active, queries generated for web search are automatically reused for file retrieval, eliminating duplicate LLM API calls and reducing token usage and costs while maintaining search quality.
🔧 Configurable Tool Call Retry Limit: Added "CHAT_RESPONSE_MAX_TOOL_CALL_RETRIES" environment variable to control the maximum number of sequential tool calls allowed before safety stopping a chat session. This replaces the previous hardcoded limit of 10, enabling administrators to configure higher limits for complex workflows requiring extensive tool interactions.
📦 Slim Docker Image Variant: Added new slim Docker image option via "USE_SLIM" build argument that excludes embedded AI models and Ollama installation, reducing image size by approximately 1GB. This variant enables faster image pulls and deployments for environments where AI models are managed externally, particularly beneficial for auto-scaling clusters and distributed deployments.
🗂️ Shift-to-Delete Functionality for Workspace Prompts: Added keyboard shortcut support for quick prompt deletion on the Workspace Prompts page. Hold Shift and hover over any prompt to reveal a trash icon for instant deletion, bringing consistent interaction patterns across all workspace sections (Models, Tools, Functions, and now Prompts) and streamlining prompt management workflows.
♿ Accessibility Enhancements: Enhanced user interface accessibility with improved keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, and screen reader compatibility across key platform components.
📄 Optimized PDF Export for Smaller File Size: PDF exports are now significantly optimized, producing much smaller files for faster downloads and easier sharing or archiving of your chats and documents.
📦 Slimmed Default Install with Optional Full Dependencies: Installing Open WebUI via pip now defaults to a slimmer package; PostgreSQL support is no longer included by default—simply use 'pip install open-webui[all]' to include all optional dependencies for full feature compatibility.
🔄 General Backend Refactoring: Implemented various backend improvements to enhance performance, stability, and security, ensuring a more resilient and reliable platform for all users.
🌐 Localization & Internationalization Improvements: Enhanced and expanded translations for Finnish, Spanish, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Chinese, including missing translations and typo corrections, providing a more natural and professional user experience for speakers of these languages across the entire interface.

Fixed

⚠️ Chat Error Feedback Restored: Fixed an issue where various backend errors (tool server failures, API connection issues, malformed responses) would cause chats to load indefinitely without providing user feedback. The system now properly displays error messages when failures occur during chat generation, allowing users to understand issues and retry as needed instead of waiting indefinitely.
🖼️ Image Generation Steps Setting Visibility Fixed: Fixed a UI issue where the "Set Steps" configuration option was incorrectly displayed for OpenAI and Gemini image generation engines that don't support this parameter. The setting is now only visible for compatible engines like ComfyUI and Automatic1111, eliminating user confusion about non-functional configuration options.
📄 Datalab Marker API Document Loader Fixed: Fixed broken Datalab Marker API document loader functionality by correcting URL path handling for both hosted Datalab services and self-hosted Marker servers. Removed hardcoded "/marker" paths from the loader code and restored proper default URL structure, ensuring PDF and document processing works correctly with both deployment types.
📋 Citation Error Handling Improved: Fixed an issue where malformed citation or source objects from external tools, pipes, or filters would cause JavaScript errors and make the chat interface completely unresponsive. The system now gracefully handles missing or undefined citation properties, allowing conversations to load properly even when tools generate defective citation events.
👥 Group User Add API Endpoint Fixed: Fixed an issue where the "/api/v1/groups/id/{group_id}/users/add" API endpoint would accept requests without errors but fail to actually add users to groups. The system now properly initializes and deduplicates user ID lists, ensuring users are correctly added to and removed from groups via API calls.
🛠️ External Tool Server Error Handling Improved: Fixed an issue where unreachable or misconfigured external tool servers would cause JavaScript errors and prevent the interface from loading properly. The system now gracefully handles connection failures, displays appropriate error messages, and filters out inaccessible servers while maintaining full functionality for working connections.
📋 Code Block Copy Button Content Fixed: Fixed an issue where the copy button in code blocks would copy the original AI-generated code instead of any user-edited content, ensuring the copy function always captures the currently displayed code as modified by users.
📄 PDF Export Content Mismatch Fixed: Resolved an issue where exporting a PDF of one chat while viewing another chat would incorrectly generate the PDF using the currently viewed chat's content instead of the intended chat's content. Additionally optimized the PDF generation algorithm with improved canvas slicing, better memory management, and enhanced image quality, while removing the problematic PDF export option from individual chat menus to prevent further confusion.
🖱️ Windows Sidebar Cursor Icon Corrected: Fixed confusing cursor icons on Windows systems where sidebar toggle buttons displayed resize cursors (ew-resize) instead of appropriate pointer cursors. The sidebar buttons now show standard pointer cursors on Windows, eliminating user confusion about whether the buttons expand/collapse the sidebar or resize it.
📝 Safari IME Composition Bug Fixed: Resolved an issue where pressing Enter while composing Chinese text using Input Method Editors (IMEs) on Safari would prematurely send messages instead of completing text composition. The system now properly detects composition states and ignores keydown events that occur immediately after composition ends, ensuring smooth multilingual text input across all browsers.
🔍 Hybrid Search Parameter Handling Fixed: Fixed an issue where the "hybrid" parameter in collection query requests was not being properly evaluated, causing the system to ignore user-specified hybrid search preferences and only check global configuration. Additionally resolved a division by zero error that occurred in hybrid search when BM25Retriever was called with empty document lists, ensuring robust search functionality across all collection states.
💬 RTL Text Orientation in Messages Fixed: Fixed text alignment issues in user messages and AI responses for Right-to-Left languages, ensuring proper text direction based on user language settings. Code blocks now consistently use Left-to-Right orientation regardless of the user's language preference, maintaining code readability across all supported languages.
📁 File Content Preview in Modal Restored: Fixed an issue where clicking on uploaded files would display an empty preview modal, even when the files were successfully processed and available for AI context. File content now displays correctly in the preview modal, ensuring users can verify and review their uploaded documents as intended.
🌐 Playwright Timeout Configuration Corrected: Fixed an issue where Playwright timeout values were incorrectly converted from milliseconds to seconds with an additional 1000x multiplier, causing excessively long web loading timeouts. The timeout parameter now correctly uses the configured millisecond values as intended, ensuring responsive web search and document loading operations.

Changed

🔄 Follow-Up Question Language Constraint Removed: Follow-up question suggestions no longer strictly adhere to the chat's primary language setting, allowing for more flexible and diverse suggestion generation that may include questions in different languages based on conversation context and relevance rather than enforced language matching.

This enables users to stop ongoing generations promptly and preventing network timeouts during lengthy preprocessing phases, thus significantly improving user experience and responsiveness.
📁 Asynchronous File Upload with Polling: Implemented an asynchronous file upload process with frontend polling to resolve gateway timeouts and improve reliability when uploading large files. This ensures that even lengthy file processing, such as embedding or transcription, does not block the user interface or lead to connection timeouts, providing a smoother experience for all file operations.
📈 Database Performance Indexes and Migration Script: Introduced new database indexes on the "chat", "tag", and "function" tables to significantly enhance query performance for SQLite and PostgreSQL installations. For existing deployments, a new Alembic migration script is included to seamlessly apply these indexes, ensuring faster filtering and sorting operations across the platform.
✨ Enhanced Database Performance Options: Introduced new configurable options to significantly improve database performance, especially for SQLite. This includes "DATABASE_ENABLE_SQLITE_WAL" to enable SQLite WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) mode for concurrent operations, and "DATABASE_DEDUPLICATE_INTERVAL" which, in conjunction with a new deduplication mechanism, reduces redundant updates to "user.last_active_at", minimizing write conflicts across all database types.
💾 Save Temporary Chats Button: Introduced a new 'Save Chat' button for conversations initiated in temporary mode. This allows users to permanently save valuable temporary conversations to their chat history, providing greater flexibility and ensuring important discussions are not lost.
📂 Chat Movement Options in Menu: Added the ability to move chats directly to folders from the chat menu. This enhances chat organization and allows users to manage their conversations more efficiently by relocating them between folders with ease.

This enhancement includes corresponding updates to the database schema, API, and user interface for seamless integration.
👥 Direct Navigation to User Groups from User Edit: Enhanced the user edit modal to include a direct link to the associated user group. This allows administrators to quickly navigate from a user's profile to their group settings, streamlining user and group management workflows.
🔧 Enhanced External Tool Server Compatibility: Improved handling of responses from external tool servers, allowing both the backend and frontend to process plain text content in addition to JSON, ensuring greater flexibility and integration with diverse tool outputs.
🗣️ Enhanced Audio Transcription Language Fallback and Deepgram Support: Implemented a robust language fallback mechanism for both OpenAI and Deepgram Speech-to-Text (STT) API calls. If a specified language parameter is not supported by the model or provider, the system will now intelligently retry the transcription without the language parameter or with a default, ensuring greater reliability and preventing failed API calls. This also specifically adds and refines support for the audio language parameter in Deepgram API integrations.
⚡ Optimized Hybrid Search Performance for BM25 Weight Configuration: Enhanced hybrid search to significantly improve performance when the BM25 weight is set to 0 or less. This optimization intelligently disables unnecessary collection retrieval and BM25 ranking calculations, leading to faster search results without impacting accuracy for configurations that do not utilize lexical search contributions.
🔒 Configurable Code Interpreter Module Blacklist: Introduced the "CODE_INTERPRETER_BLACKLISTED_MODULES" environment variable, allowing administrators to specify Python modules that are forbidden from being imported or executed within the code interpreter. This significantly enhances the security posture by mitigating risks associated with arbitrary code execution, such as unauthorized data access, system manipulation, or outbound connections.
🔐 Enhanced OAuth Role Claim Handling: Improved compatibility with diverse OAuth providers by allowing role claims to be supplied as single strings or integers, in addition to arrays. The system now automatically normalizes these single-value claims into arrays for consistent processing, streamlining integration with identity providers that format role data differently.
⚙️ Configurable Tool Call Timeout: Introduced the "AIOHTTP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT" environment variable, allowing administrators to specify custom timeout durations for external tool calls, which is crucial for integrations with tools that have varying or extended response times.

This refactoring ensures proper signature inference and removes extraneous parameters, enabling seamless integration for advanced AI workflows using Google's generative AI models.
✨ Dynamic Loading of 'kokoro-js': Implemented dynamic loading for the 'kokoro-js' library, preventing failures and improving compatibility on older iOS browsers that may not support direct imports or certain modern JavaScript APIs like 'DecompressionStream'.
🖥️ Improved Command List Visibility on Small Screens: Resolved an issue where the top items in command lists (e.g., Knowledge Base, Models, Prompts) were hidden or overlapped by the header on smaller screen sizes or specific browser zoom levels. The command option lists now dynamically adjust their height, ensuring all items are fully visible and accessible with proper scrolling.
📦 Improved Docker Image Compatibility for Arbitrary UIDs: Fixed issues preventing the Open WebUI container from running in environments with arbitrary User IDs (UIDs), such as OpenShift's restricted Security Context Constraints (SCC). The Dockerfile has been updated to correctly set file system permissions for "/app" and "/root" directories, ensuring they are writable by processes running with a supplemental GID 0, thus resolving permission errors for Python libraries and application caches.
♿ Accessibility Enhancements: Significantly improved the semantic structure of chat messages by using "section", "h2", "ul", and "li" HTML tags, and enhanced screen reader compatibility by explicitly hiding decorative images with "aria-hidden" attributes. This refactoring provides clearer structural context and improves overall accessibility and web standards compliance for the conversation flow.
🌐 Localization & Internationalization Improvements: Significantly expanded internationalization support throughout the user interface, translating numerous user-facing strings in toast messages, placeholders, and other UI elements. This, alongside continuous refinement and expansion of translations for languages including Brazilian Portuguese, Kabyle (Taqbaylit), Czech, Finnish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), and German, and general fixes for several other translation files, further enhances linguistic coverage and user experience.

This ensures reliable and seamless authentication for users utilizing OIDC providers, restoring full login functionality that was impacted by previous security hardening.
⚡ Prevented UI Blocking by Unreachable Webhooks: Resolved a critical performance and user experience issue where synchronous webhook calls to unreachable or slow endpoints would block the entire user interface for all users. Webhook requests are now processed asynchronously using "aiohttp", ensuring that the UI remains responsive and functional even if webhook delivery encounters delays or failures.
🔒 Password Change Option Hidden for Externally Authenticated Users: Resolved an issue where the password change dialog was visible to users authenticated via external methods (e.g., LDAP, OIDC, Trusted Header). The option to change a password in user settings is now correctly hidden for these users, as their passwords are managed externally, streamlining the user interface and preventing confusion.
💬 Resolved Temporary Chat and Permission Enforcement Issues: Fixed a bug where temporary chats (identified by "chat_id = local") incorrectly triggered database checks, leading to 404 errors. This also resolves the issue where the 'USER_PERMISSIONS_CHAT_TEMPORARY_ENFORCED' setting was not functioning as intended, ensuring temporary chat mode now works correctly for user roles.
🔐 Admin Model Visibility for Administrators: Private models remained visible and usable for administrators in the chat model selector, even when the intended privacy setting ("ENABLE_ADMIN_WORKSPACE_CONTENT_ACCESS" - now renamed to "BYPASS_ADMIN_ACCESS_CONTROL") was disabled. This ensures consistent enforcement of model access controls and adherence to the principle of least privilege.
🔍 Clarified Web Search Engine Label for DDGS: Addressed user confusion and inaccurate labeling by renaming "duckduckgo" to "DDGS" (Dux Distributed Global Search) in the web search engine selector. This clarifies that the system utilizes DDGS, a metasearch library that aggregates results from various search providers, accurately reflecting its underlying functionality rather than implying exclusive use of DuckDuckGo's search engine.
🛠️ Improved Settings UI Reactivity and Visibility: Resolved an issue where settings tabs for 'Connections' and 'Tools' did not dynamically update their visibility based on global administrative feature flags (e.g., 'enable_direct_connections'). The UI now reactively shows or hides these sections, ensuring a consistent and clear experience when administrators control feature availability.
🎚️ Restored Model and Banner Reordering Functionality: Fixed a bug that prevented administrators from reordering models in the Admin Panel's 'Models' settings and banners in the 'Interface' settings via drag-and-drop. The sortable functionality has been restored, allowing for proper customization of display order.
📝 Restored Custom Pending User Overlay Visibility: Fixed an issue where the custom title and description configured for pending users were not visible. The application now correctly exposes these UI configuration settings to pending users, ensuring that the custom onboarding messages are displayed as intended.

The Dockerfile now includes a mechanism to invalidate the build cache for the Ollama installation step, ensuring that the latest version of Ollama is always installed.
🗄️ Improved Milvus Query Handling for Large Datasets: Fixed a "MilvusException" that occurred when attempting to query more than 16384 entries from a Milvus collection. The query logic has been refactored to use "query_iterator()", enabling efficient fetching of larger result sets in batches and resolving the previous limitation on the number of entries that could be retrieved.
🐛 Restored Message Toolbar Icons for Empty Messages with Files: Fixed an issue where the edit, copy, and delete icons were not displayed on user messages that contained an attached file but no text content. This ensures full interaction capabilities for all message types, allowing users to manage their messages consistently.
💬 Resolved Streaming Interruption for Kimi-Dev Models: Fixed an issue where streaming responses from Kimi-Dev models would halt prematurely upon encountering specific 'thinking' tokens (◁think▷, ◁/think▷). The system now correctly processes these tokens, ensuring uninterrupted streaming and proper handling of hidden or collapsible thinking sections.
🔍 Enhanced Knowledge Base Search Functionality: Improved the search capability within the 'Knowledge' section of the Workspace. Previously, searching for knowledge bases required exact term matches or starting with the first letter. Now, the search algorithm has been refined to allow broader, less exact matches, making it easier and more intuitive to find relevant knowledge bases.
📝 Resolved Chinese Input 'Enter' Key Issue (macOS & iOS Safari): Fixed a bug where pressing the 'Enter' key during text composition with Input Method Editors (IMEs) on macOS and iOS Safari browsers would prematurely send the message. The system now robustly handles the composition state by addressing a 'compositionend' event bug specific to Safari, ensuring a smooth and expected typing experience for users of various languages, including Chinese and Korean.
🔐 Resolved OAUTH_GROUPS_CLAIM Configuration Issue: Fixed a bug where the "OAUTH_GROUPS_CLAIM" environment variable was not correctly parsed due to a typo in the configuration file. This ensures that OAuth group management features, including automatic group creation, now correctly utilize the specified claim from the identity provider, allowing for seamless integration with external user directories like Keycloak.
🗄️ Resolved Azure PostgreSQL pgvector Extension Permissions: Fixed an issue preventing the creation of "pgvector" and "pgcrypto" extensions on Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Servers due to permission limitations (e.g., 'Only members of "azure_pg_admin" are allowed to use "CREATE EXTENSION"'). The extension creation process now includes a conditional check, ensuring seamless deployment and compatibility with Azure PostgreSQL environments even with restricted database user permissions.
🛠️ Improved Backend Path Resolution and Alembic Stability: Fixed issues causing Alembic database migrations to fail due to incorrect path resolution within the application. By implementing canonical path resolution for core directories and refining Alembic configuration, the robustness and correctness of internal pathing have been significantly enhanced, ensuring reliable database operations.
📊 Resolved Arena Model Identification in Feedback History: Fixed an issue where the model used for feedback in arena settings was incorrectly reported as 'arena-model' in the evaluation history. The system now correctly logs and displays the actual model ID that received the feedback, restoring clarity and enabling proper analysis of model performance in arena environments.
🎨 Resolved Icon Overlap in 'Her' Theme: Fixed a visual glitch in the 'Her' theme where icons would overlap on the loading screen and certain icons appeared incongruous. The display has been corrected to ensure proper visual presentation and theme consistency.
🛠️ Resolved Model Sorting TypeError with Null Names: Fixed a "TypeError" that occurred in the "/api/models" endpoint when sorting models with null or missing names. The model sorting logic has been improved to gracefully handle such edge cases by ensuring that model IDs and names are treated as empty strings if their values are null or undefined, preventing comparison errors and improving API stability.
💬 Resolved Silently Dropped Streaming Response Chunks: Fixed an issue where the final partial chunks of streaming chat responses could be silently dropped, leading to incomplete message delivery.

🎨 Resolved Banner Dismissal Issue with Iteration IDs: Fixed a bug where dismissing banners could lead to unintended multiple banner dismissals or other incorrect behavior, especially when banners lacked unique iteration IDs. Unique IDs are now assigned during banner iteration, ensuring proper individual dismissal and consistent display behavior.

Changed

🛂 Environment Variable for Admin Access Control: The environment variable "ENABLE_ADMIN_WORKSPACE_CONTENT_ACCESS" has been renamed to "BYPASS_ADMIN_ACCESS_CONTROL". This new name more accurately reflects its function as a control to allow administrators to bypass model access restrictions. Users are encouraged to update their configurations to use the new variable name; existing configurations using the old name will still be honored for backward compatibility.
🗂️ Core Directory Path Resolution Updated: The internal mechanism for resolving core application directory paths ("OPEN_WEBUI_DIR", "BACKEND_DIR", "BASE_DIR") has been updated to use canonical resolution via "Path().resolve()". This change improves path reliability but may require adjustments for any external scripts or configurations that previously relied on specific non-canonical path interpretations.
🗃️ Database Performance Options: New database performance options, "DATABASE_ENABLE_SQLITE_WAL" and "DATABASE_DEDUPLICATE_INTERVAL", are now available. If "DATABASE_ENABLE_SQLITE_WAL" is enabled, SQLite will operate in WAL mode, which may alter SQLite's file locking behavior. If "DATABASE_DEDUPLICATE_INTERVAL" is set to a non-zero value, the "user.last_active_at" timestamp will be updated less frequently, leading to slightly less real-time accuracy for this specific field but significantly reducing database write conflicts and improving overall performance. Both options are disabled by default.
🌐 Renamed Web Search Concurrency Setting: The environment variable "WEB_SEARCH_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS" has been renamed to "WEB_LOADER_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS". This change clarifies its scope, explicitly applying to the concurrency of the web loader component (which fetches content from search results) rather than the initial search engine query. Users relying on the old environment variable name for configuring web search concurrency must update their configurations to use "WEB_LOADER_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS".
