--- sidebar_position: 2 slug: /release_notes --- # Release notes Key features and improvements in the latest releases. ## v0.14.0 Released on November 26, 2024. ### New features - Supports [Infinity](https://github.com/infiniflow/infinity) or Elasticsearch (default) as document engine for vector storage and full-text indexing. [#2894](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/pull/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](https://github.com/andrewyng/translation-agent). - Adds an SEO-optimized blog writing agent template. - Provides HTTP and Python APIs for conversing with an agent. - Supports the use of English synonyms during retrieval processes. - Optimizes term weight calculations, reducing the retrieval time by 50%. - Improves task executor monitoring with additional performance indicators. - Replaces Redis with Valkey. - Adds three new UI languages (*contributed by the community*): Indonesian, Spanish, and Vietnamese. ### 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](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/pull/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](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/upgrade_ragflow#upgrade-ragflow-to-the-most-recent-officially-published-release) before trying this new approach. ::: ### Related APIs #### HTTP APIs - [Create session with agent](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/http_api_reference#create-session-with-agent) - [Converse with agent](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/http_api_reference#converse-with-agent) #### Python APIs - [Create session with agent](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/python_api_reference#create-session-with-agent) - [Converse with agent](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/python_api_reference#create-session-with-agent) ### Documentation #### Added documents - [Configurations](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/configurations) - [Manage team members](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/manage_team_members) - [Run health check on RAGFlow's dependencies](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/run_health_check) ## v0.13.0 Released on October 31, 2024. ### New features - Adds the team management functionality for all users. - Updates the Agent UI to improve usability. - Adds support for Markdown chunking in the **General** chunk method. - Introduces an **invoke** tool within the Agent UI. - Integrates support for Dify's knowledge base API. - Adds support for GLM4-9B and Yi-Lightning models. - Introduces HTTP and Python APIs for dataset management, file management within dataset, and chat assistant management. :::tip NOTE To download RAGFlow's Python SDK: ```bash pip install ragflow-sdk==0.13.0 ``` ::: ### Documentation #### Added documents - [Acquire a RAGFlow API key](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/acquire_ragflow_api_key) - [HTTP API Reference](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/http_api_reference) - [Python API Reference](https://ragflow.io/docs/dev/python_api_reference) ## v0.12.0 Released on September 30, 2024. ### New features - Offers slim editions of RAGFlow's Docker images, which do not include built-in BGE/BCE embedding or reranking models. - Improves the results of multi-round dialogues. - Enables users to remove added LLM vendors. - Adds support for **OpenTTS** and **SparkTTS** models. - Implements an **Excel to HTML** toggle in the **General** chunk method, allowing users to parse a spreadsheet into either HTML tables or key-value pairs by row. - Adds agent tools **YahooFance** and **Jin10**. - Adds an investment advisor agent template. ### Compatibility changes As of this release, RAGFlow offers slim editions of its Docker images to improve the experience for users with limited Internet access.
