+- 🛟 Model editor stability was improved with null safety checks for tools, functions, and file input operations, preventing crashes when stores are undefined or file objects are invalid. [#19939](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19939)
+- 🗣️ MoA completion handling stability was improved with null safety checks for response objects, boolean casting for settings, and proper timeout type definitions. [#19921](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19921)
+- 🎛️ Chat functionality failures caused by empty logit_bias parameter values are now prevented by properly handling empty strings in the parameter parsing middleware. [#19982](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19982)
+- 🔏 Administrators can now delete read-only knowledge bases from deleted users, resolving permission issues that previously prevented cleanup of orphaned read-only content. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/59d6eb2badf46f9c2b1e879484ac33432915b575)
+- 💾 Cloned prompts and tools now correctly preserve their access control settings instead of being reset to null, preventing unintended visibility changes when duplicating private or restricted items. [#19960](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19960), [#19360](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19360)
+- 🎚️ Text scale adjustment buttons in Interface Settings were fixed to correctly increment and decrement the scale value. [#19699](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19699)
+- 🎭 Group channel invite button text visibility in light theme was corrected to display properly against dark backgrounds. [#19828](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19828)
+- 📁 The move button is now hidden when no folders exist, preventing display of non-functional controls. [#19705](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19705)
+- 📦 Qdrant client dependency was updated to resolve startup version incompatibility warnings. [#19757](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19757)
+- 🧮 The "ENABLE_ASYNC_EMBEDDING" environment variable is now correctly applied to embedding operations when configured exclusively via environment variables. [#19748](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19748)
+- 🌄 The "COMFYUI_WORKFLOW_NODES" and "IMAGES_EDIT_COMFYUI_WORKFLOW_NODES" environment variables are now correctly loaded and parsed as JSON lists, and the configuration key name was corrected from "COMFYUI_WORKFLOW" to "COMFYUI_WORKFLOW_NODES". [#19918](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19918), [#19886](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19886)
+- 💫 Channel name length is now limited to 128 characters with validation to prevent display issues caused by excessively long names. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/f509f5542dde384d34402f6df763f49a06bea109)
+- 🔐 Invalid PASSWORD_VALIDATION_REGEX_PATTERN configurations no longer cause startup warnings, with automatic fallback to the default pattern when regex compilation fails. [#20058](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20058)
+- 🔎 Bocha search with filter list functionality now works correctly by returning results as a list instead of a dictionary wrapper, ensuring compatibility with result filtering operations. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/b5bd8704fe1672da839bb3be6210d7cb494797ce), [#19733](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19733)
+
+### Changed
+
+- ⚠️ This release includes database schema changes; multi-worker, multi-server, or load-balanced deployments must update all instances simultaneously rather than performing rolling updates, as running mixed versions will cause application failures due to schema incompatibility between old and new instances.
+- 📡 WEB_SEARCH_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS default changed from 10 to 0 (unlimited) — This setting now applies to all search engines instead of only DuckDuckGo; previously users were implicitly limited to 10 concurrent queries, but now have unlimited parallel requests by default; set to 1 for sequential execution if using rate-limited APIs like Brave free tier. [#20070](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20070)
+- 💾 SQLCipher absolute path handling was fixed to properly support absolute database paths (e.g., "/app/data.db") instead of incorrectly stripping leading slashes and converting them to relative paths; this restores functionality for Docker volume mounts and explicit absolute path configurations while maintaining backward compatibility with relative paths. [#20074](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20074)
+- 🔌 Knowledge base file listing API was redesigned with paginated responses and new filtering parameters; the GET /knowledge/{id}/files endpoint now returns paginated results with user attribution instead of embedding all files in the knowledge object, which may require updates to custom integrations or scripts accessing knowledge base data programmatically. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/94a8439105f30203ea9d729787c9c5978f5c22a2)
+- 🗑️ Legacy knowledge base support for deprecated document collections and tag-based collections was removed; users with pre-knowledge base documents must migrate to the current knowledge base system as legacy items will no longer appear in selectors or command menus. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/a934dc997ed67a036dd7975e380f8036c447d3ed)
+- 🔨 Source-level log environment variables (AUDIO_LOG_LEVEL, CONFIG_LOG_LEVEL, MODELS_LOG_LEVEL, etc.) were removed as they provided limited configuration options and added significant complexity across 100+ files; the GLOBAL_LOG_LEVEL environment variable, which already took precedence over source-level settings, now serves as the exclusive logging configuration method. [#20045](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/20045)
+- 🐍 LangChain was upgraded to version 1.2.0, representing a major dependency update and significant progress toward Python 3.13 compatibility while improving RAG pipeline functionality for document loading and retrieval operations. [#19991](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19991)

 ### Keeping Your Docker Installation Up-to-Date

-In case you want to update your local Docker installation to the latest version, you can do it with [Watchtower](https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/):
-
-```bash
-docker run --rm --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock containrrr/watchtower --run-once open-webui
-```
