# New Features

:small_blue_diamond: New `Unselect All` button when using the "Select Items" option for RAG

![Unselect All - 1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swirlai/swirl-search/main/docs/images/3_9_0-Unselect_All-1.png)
![Unselect All - 2](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swirlai/swirl-search/main/docs/images/3_9_0-Unselect_All-2.png)

:small_blue_diamond: SWIRL database schema changes will now be handled as part of Django migrations. Each schema change will have a corresponding migration file, which will be version-controlled and included with each release.

:small_blue_diamond: SWIRL AI Connect has been validated on Python 3.12.6.

# Improvements

:small_blue_diamond:  The Galaxy UI more gracefully handles longer result titles and browser window resizing.

:small_blue_diamond:  A new "Dev" tag for searching across development-centric SearchProviders has been added

:small_blue_diamond:  The Elastic SearchProvider now correctly returns the configured number of results

:small_blue_diamond:  The `FILE_SYSTEM` directive was removed from default OneDrive SearchProvider configuration; and the default Outlook Email `result_processors` were reordered to improve threaded conversation handling

# Known Issues

:small_blue_diamond: Clicking a Microsoft Teams result sometimes results in this error from the Teams app:
```
We cannot take you to that message because it's in a chat you're not in.
```
For Teams links to resolve correctly, you must have the Microsoft Teams app open *before* clicking the result link.

:small_blue_diamond: [Creating searches from a browser with q=](https://docs.swirlaiconnect.com/Developer-Guide.html#create-a-search-object-with-the-q-url-parameter) can sometimes create two Search objects. 

This is because of browser prefetch AKA predictive service. [Turn off Chrome prediction service](https://www.ghacks.net/2019/04/23/missing-chromes-use-a-prediction-service-setting/). [Turn off Safari prefetch](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29214246/how-to-turn-off-safaris-prefetch-feature).
