Full Release Notes
There is a whole lot of features in this release: - The layout is much cleaner, faster, snappier. All the expensive file/model processing operations now run in the background making for a much pleasureable use of the app. - You can now chat with your sources same way you could chat with your notebooks. You can watch youtube videos directly from the app and re-download apps that you uploaded before. - A full new Sources feature to manage your sources outside of notebooks. Sources can be created without assignment to Notebooks and now they can also be assigned to multiple notebooks. - You can pick the model to use for each chat and change it anytime - Improved all the pages and UIs, specially: podcasts, models, transformations, settings, - Create a new Advanced menu for reembedding content (after changing the embedding model) - API connecivity issues fixed including for people using reverse proxies - Enabled OpenAI compatible embedding and TTS endpoints. You can now have your fully offline podcast creation. I provided a detailed guide on how to do it with Peaches (https://github.com/lfnovo/open-notebook/blob/main/docs/features/local_tts.md). - There were tons of bug fixes since we started the beta. PLEASE NOTE (MIGRATION) If you are not on v1 yet, you need to change the docker tag and expose port 5055. See the MIGRATION.md file for further instructions.
