Features
Bug Fixes
- AI Assistant: In-progress model downloads can now be cancelled properly and the progress UI now matches that of file downloads. Thanks @chriscrosstalk for the contribution!
- AI Assistant: Fixed an issue where the AI Assistant settings page could crash if a model object did not have a details property. Thanks @hestela for the fix!

- AI Assistant: Fixed an issue with ZIM batch embedding using the wrong batch count and causing remaining batches to be skipped. Thanks @sbruschke for the bug report and @chriscrosstalk for the fix!
- AI Assistant: Fixed an issue with ZIM content extraction only extracting the first-level children of the article body and thus missing a lot of content. Thanks @sbruschke for the bug report and @chriscrosstalk for the fix!
- Disk Collector: Improved reporting for NFS mount stats and display in the UI. Thanks @bgauger and @bravosierra99 for the contribution!
- Downloads: Downloads are now staged to .tmp files and atomically renamed upon completion to prevent issues with incomplete/corrupt files. Thanks @artbird309 for the contribution!
- Downloads: Removed a duplicate error listener and improved stability when handling Range requests for file downloads. Thanks @jakeaturner for the contribution!
- Downloads: Added improved handling for corrupt ZIM file downloads and removed duplicate Ollama download logs. Thanks @aegisman for the contribution!
- Security: Closed a potential SSRF vulnerability in the map file download functionality by implementing stricter URL validation and blocking private IP ranges. Thanks @LuisMIguelFurlanettoSousa for the fix!
- Security: Sanitized error messages from the backend to prevent potential information disclosure. Thanks @LuisMIguelFurlanettoSousa for the fix!
- UI: Fixed an issue with broken pagination for the Content Explorer that could cause some users to see a "No records found" message indefinitely. Thanks @johno10661 for the bug report and @chriscrosstalk for the fix!
- UI: Fixed an issue where all storage devices could report as "NAS Storage" regardless of actual type. Thanks @bgauger for the fix!
Improvements
- AI Assistant: Now uses the currently loaded model for query rewriting and chat title generation for improved performance and consistency. Thanks @hestela for the contribution!
- AI Assistant: When a remote Ollama URL is configured, the Command Center will now attempt to stop NOMAD's local Ollama container to free up resources and avoid confusion. Thanks @chriscrosstalk for the contribution!
- Dependencies: Updated various dependencies to close security vulnerabilities and improve stability
- Docs: Added a "Community Add-Ons" page to the documentation to highlight some of the amazing community contributions that have been made since launch. Thanks @chriscrosstalk for the contribution!
- Privacy: Added the appropriate environment variable to disable telemetry for the Qdrant container. Note that this will only take effect on new installations of if the Qdrant container is force re-installed on existing installations. Thanks @berkdamerc for the find and @chriscrosstalk for the contribution!
