🚀 Major Functional Changes
Data platform and dataset operations
  • Added Hologres as a supported backend option for both vector retrieval and full-text search.
  • Added Service API endpoints for dataset document downloads:
    • Batch ZIP download for selected documents.
    • Signed URL download for single-document original files.
Workflow and chat experience improvements
  • Breaking change: HITL email content now uses markdown rendering before delivery. Existing email templates that relied on raw/plain behavior may render differently after upgrade.
  • Draft variables are now user-scoped instead of app-scoped. Historical draft variables will not be available after upgrading.
  • Added edge context menu support in workflow canvas, including direct edge deletion.
  • Preserved existing connections when changing node types in workflow editing.
  • Added configurable send-key behavior (Enter vs Shift+Enter) for embedded chat input.
  • Added file payloads in message-end stream responses.
  • Removed GPT-4-specific hardcoded behavior from default model selection logic.
  • Added a new export-app-messages CLI command to export application messages and related feedback to JSONL.GZ (local or cloud storage).
🔐 Security Updates
  • Prevented SQL injection risks in vector-store query paths by switching to parameterized SQL in affected implementations.
  • Hardened HITL email delivery:
    • Sanitize subject and body content.
    • Strip CR/LF from subjects to prevent SMTP header-injection vectors.
  • Enforced ownership checks for conversation deletion APIs.
  • Cleared stale provider credentials during plugin uninstall to reduce residual credential risk.
  • Improved enterprise API error handling and license-enforcement behavior for invalid/expired license states.
🏗️ Configuration, Architecture, and Deployment Updates
Deployment and operations
  • Added a dedicated Celery queue: dataset_summary for LLM-heavy summary generation tasks.
    • Ensure workers subscribe to this queue to avoid summary-job backlog.
  • Added telemetry metrics for retention cleanup tasks (messages/workflow runs), plus flush behavior for short-lived command jobs.
Configuration changes
  • Added REDIS_MAX_CONNECTIONS.
  • Deprecated PUBSUB_* event-bus settings in favor of EVENT_BUS_* settings.
🛠 Other Noteworthy Changes
  • Fixed workflow_runs.started_at being overwritten on resume.
  • Fixed metadata batch-edit silent failures caused by split-transaction edge cases.
  • Fixed metadata filter extraction issues in knowledge retrieval ({{...}} conditions).
  • Restored citation visibility in advanced chat applications.
  • Fixed conversation variable reset behavior after HITL nodes.
  • Fixed a page crash in knowledge-retrieval node configuration flow.
  • Fixed chat assistant blocking response-mode behavior.
  • Added doc_type handling in Weaviate vector attributes for better compatibility.
  • Upgraded OpenTelemetry dependencies to resolve context-detach errors.
