Full Release Notes

FreeLLMAPI v0.15.0 adds Parallel as a free web search engine that needs no key, the Auray provider, new MCP tools, and fixes the desktop app asking browser tabs to sign in.

## Web search

- **Parallel, no key needed.** Parallel joins Tavily, Exa, Firecrawl and Linkup. Turn it on from the Keys page without entering anything and searches run through Parallel's free anonymous search; add your own Parallel API key for higher limits. It sits last in the default order, so it takes over when your keyed engines run out. Like every new engine it reaches Premium first and the free catalog on 14 November. Thanks @georgeatparallel. (#1465)

## Providers

- **Auray:** chat and embeddings through Auray's official API, with key checks that spend no credits and all Auray models sharing one monthly credit pool. Newer Gemini text-to-speech responses keep their full WAV audio. (#1518, #1524)
- **LLMTR embeddings** are supported for the routes the catalog publishes. (#1531)

## Dashboard

- **Desktop app: no more Sign In page.** The dashboard now signs itself in whether you open it from the tray or in any browser on the same computer. Devices reaching the app over LAN access are still asked to sign in. (#1399, #1533)
- **Keys → Proxy:** turn the outbound proxy on or off for every provider at once. (#1503)
- **Premium:** activating or removing a license now refreshes every model list straight away, no reload needed. (#1507)

## MCP

- Three new tools: `provider_list`, `quota_outlook` and `clear_cache`. (#1513)

## Routing and reliability

- More providers' "context window exceeded" errors are recognised, so the request moves to a model that fits. (#1527)
- Deleting a key now also removes the models tied to it, on every provider, and catalog sync clears any left over from older versions. (#1516, #1522)
- **Optional:** set `HEALTH_TRANSPORT_PARK_AFTER` (for example `6`) to take a key out of rotation after that many health checks in a row fail with a network error. It is off by default, so nothing changes unless you turn it on. (#1510, #1530)
- The web search log and expired idempotency and cache rows are now cleaned up automatically, so the database no longer grows without limit. (#1525, #1529)

## CLI

- `freellmapi launch-codex` and the other launchers now start correctly on Windows. (#1517)
- Install dependencies come from registry.npmjs.org only. (#1509)
