Release notes
Key features and improvements in the latest releases.
v0.14.0
Released on November 26, 2024.
New features
- Supports Infinity or Elasticsearch (default) as document engine for vector storage and full-text indexing. #2894
- Enhances user experience by adding more variables to the Agent and implementing auto-saving.
- Adds a three-step translation agent template, inspired by Andrew Ng's translation agent.

Compatibility changes
As of this release, service_config.yaml.template replaces service_config.yaml for configuring backend services. Upon Docker container startup, the environment variables defined in this template file are automatically populated and a service_config.yaml is auto-generated from it. #3341
This approach eliminates the need to manually update service_config.yaml after making changes to .env, facilitating dynamic environment configurations.
:::danger IMPORTANT Ensure that you upgrade both your code and Docker image to this release before trying this new approach. :::
