- 🛡️ Default permission validation for message regeneration and deletion actions is enhanced to provide more restrictive access controls, improving chat security and user data protection. [#17285](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/17285)

## [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.
