Full Release Notes

## Notable Changes

### Image Generation

Now you can generate images via `/img` when a [supported provider is set up](https://docs.anythingllm.com/features/image-generation#supported-providers).

This flow also allows image attachments for edits, followups, or combination prompts if your provider supports image editing.

<img width="2254" height="986" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9286ba43-c8fe-43f9-a18d-6c2814f6907f" />


> Ability for an agent-tool to generate images is coming next update.

### Better File Picker UX

Now in the file picker you can drag entire folders and their hierarchy will be preserved in the upload panel. This will only import the **top level** files in the folder — it will be deep and recursive in a later update.

You can also now drag and drop a file into an existing folder directly without needing to move it.

Lastly, you no longer need to type `https` in the URL fetcher - it will just assume https when left out.

We also made some large performance improvements, like lazy-loading of folders, for those with thousands of documents in a folder.

### Tool Toggle Mid-Session

Now, during agentic chats you can freely toggle tools on/off at will without needing to reload or start a new session. Only tools that have been configured (if configuration is required) are available.

### Stop Generation

A large improvement is now that `aborting` a response actually fully kills the inference as well so that ghost inference does not continue when no longer wanted mid-stream.
