+## [0.6.42] - 2025-12-10
+
+### Added
+
+- 📝 Notes feature now supports server-side search and filtering with view options for notes created by the user versus notes shared with them, customizable sorting by name or date in both list and grid view modes within a redesigned interface featuring consolidated note management controls in a unified header, group-based permission sharing with read, write, and read-only access control displaying note authorship and sharing status for better collaboration, and paginated infinite scroll for improved performance with large note collections. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/9b24cddef6c4862bd899eb8d6332cafff54e871d)
+- 👁️ Notes now support read-only access permissions, allowing users to share notes for viewing without granting edit rights, with the editor automatically becoming non-editable and appropriate UI indicators when read-only access is detected. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/4363df175d50e0f9729381ac2ba9b37a3c3a966d)
+- 📄 Notes can now be created directly from the chat input field, allowing users to save drafted messages or content as notes without navigation or retyping. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/00c2b6ca405d617e3d7520953a00a36c19c790ec)
+- 📏 Chat input now displays an expand button in the top-right corner when messages exceed two lines, providing optional access to a full-screen editor for composing longer messages with enhanced workspace and visibility while temporarily disabling the main input to prevent editing conflicts. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/205c7111200c22da42e9b5fe1e676aec9cca6daa)
+- 📚 Knowledge base file management was overhauled with server-side pagination loading 30 files at a time instead of loading entire collections at once, dramatically improving performance and responsiveness for large knowledge bases with hundreds or thousands of files, reducing initial load times and memory usage while adding server-side search and filtering, view options for files added by the user versus shared files, customizable sorting by name or date, and file authorship tracking with upload timestamps. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/94a8439105f30203ea9d729787c9c5978f5c22a2)
+- 💬 Channel message data lazy loading was implemented, deferring attachment and file metadata retrieval until needed to improve initial message list load performance. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/54b7ec56d6bcd2d79addc1694b757dab18cf18c5)
+- 🖼️ Channel image upload handling was optimized to process and store compressed images directly as files rather than inline data, improving memory efficiency and message load times. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/22f1b764a7ea1add0a896906a9ef00b4b6743adc)
+- 🎥 Video file playback support was added to channel messages, enabling inline video viewing with native player controls. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/7b126b23d50a0bd36a350fe09dc1dbe3df105318)
+- 👥 User profile previews now display group membership information for easier identification of user roles and permissions. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/2b1a29d44bde9fbc20ff9f0a5ded1ce8ded9d90d)
+- 🔑 The "OAUTH_AUDIENCE" environment variable now allows OAuth providers to specify audience parameters for JWT access token generation. [#19768](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19768)
+- 🔌 The "REDIS_SOCKET_CONNECT_TIMEOUT" environment variable now allows configuring socket connection timeouts for Redis and Sentinel connections, addressing potential failover and responsiveness issues in distributed deployments. [#19799](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19799), [Docs:#882](https://github.com/open-webui/docs/pull/882)
+- ⏱️ The "WEB_LOADER_TIMEOUT" environment variable now allows configuring request timeouts for SafeWebBaseLoader operations. [#19804](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19804), [#19734](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19734)
+- 📊 An experimental chat usage statistics endpoint (GET /api/v1/chats/stats/usage) was added, returning per-chat analytics including message counts, model IDs, tags, and timestamps; this endpoint is not suitable for production use and may exhibit severe performance issues as it loads and processes entire chat histories for all of a user's conversations without pagination or limits. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/cf6a1300ca554999a36de0f57ca93cf11680d06d)
+- 🔄 Various improvements were implemented across the frontend and backend to enhance performance, stability, and security.
+- 🌐 Translations for Portuguese (Brazil), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Catalan, and Spanish were enhanced and expanded.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- 👤 User list popup display in the admin panel was fixed to correctly track user identity when sorting or filtering changes the list order, preventing popups from showing incorrect user information. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/ae47101dc6aef2c7d8ae0d843985341fff820057)
+- 🛡️ Chat loading failures when channels permissions were disabled are now prevented through graceful error handling. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/5c2df97f04cce5cb7087d288f816f91a739688c1)
+- 💭 Text loss in the explanation feature when using the "CHAT_STREAM_RESPONSE_CHUNK_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE" environment variable was resolved by correcting newline handling in streaming responses. [#19829](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19829)
+- 🔒 Temporary chat permission enforcement now correctly prevents users from enabling the feature through personal settings when disabled in default or group permissions. [#19785](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19785)
+- 🎨 Image editing with reference images now correctly uses both previously generated images and newly uploaded reference images. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/bcd50ed8f1b7387fd700538ae0d74fc72f3c53d0)
+- 📑 Source citation rendering errors when citation syntax appeared in user messages or contexts without source data were resolved. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/3c8f1cf8e58d52e86375634b0381374298b1b4f3)
+- 🎚️ 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)
+- 🔧 Pipeline settings save failures when valve properties contain null values are now handled correctly. [#19791](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/19791)
+
+### Changed
+
+- 🔌 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)
