v2.7 is out. This release focuses on AI improvements, a major admin UI overhaul, and the first iteration of workflow automations.
RAG enhancements
The AI module got a significant upgrade. Better document parsing, improved query handling, and now Ollama connections support SSL verification toggle — useful if you're running it locally with custom certificates.
Admin panel redesign
The admin UI has been completely rebuilt with:
- Card-based editors for cleaner form layouts
- Inline item panel for faster configuration
- Refactored styles and improved visual hierarchy
- Inner-tabs for better information organization
Automations (beta)
We're introducing workflow automations — still early, but usable. You can create if-then rules with:
- OR group logic for complex conditions
- 3 action types to start
- Run log to track executions
- User picker for assignment actions
This is beta. Expect improvements in v2.8.
Security & quality
- CSP nonces and XSS hardening across the admin panel
- Unified session enforcement and role checks
- Expanded Cypress E2E test suite to 12 spec files (~300 tests) — fixed 3 flaky tests
One-click deployment
Deploy to Render or Railway directly from GitHub — no manual server setup needed.
Other improvements
- Server-side search with load-more pagination
- Row cap for large tables (configurable)
- Better CSV import with delimiter and encoding options
- Improved malformed data parsing
