Open WebUI 0.11.2 release notes

Added

🖼️ Richer previews for terminal files. Word documents and slide decks produced in the terminal are now previewed as the finished document rather than an approximation, and every document preview gains a page strip down the side with numbered thumbnails you can click to jump straight to a page, and the notice warning that a preview might differ from the download is gone now that it does not.

⚡ Less overhead on every message. Deployments without pipelines configured, which is the default, no longer pay setup work for them on each chat message and background task. #29146
🏎️ Lighter model list refreshes. On deployments running several workers, a refresh that finds the model list unchanged no longer has every worker rewrite the whole list to the shared cache, cutting the work and the traffic each refresh costs. #29264
🧵 Smoother busy websocket servers. Large Redis-backed websocket deployments now spend far less time sweeping old sessions, reading their own session data back from Redis, and checking every outgoing websocket message for file attachments Open WebUI does not send, so channel posts, collaboration updates, heartbeats, and live chat updates put less load on busy servers. #28835, #28180
🧰 A new request filter step. Filter authors can now use request to adjust the payload right before each model call, including follow-up calls after tool use, while existing inlet, stream, and outlet filters keep working as before. Commit, Commit
🤏 More room in file previews on touch screens. File previews on phones and tablets no longer show zoom buttons that sit over an already small preview, leaving pinch to zoom to do the job. #29176, #29152
👆 Resizing panels by touch. The divider beside the main sidebar or a side panel can now be dragged on a touchscreen or with a stylus, and a drag made with the mouse keeps following the pointer when it leaves the window. Commit, Commit, Commit
🔤 Choice of interface font. Interface settings now offer a font family field where you can name a font installed on your computer and watch it apply across the interface as you type, with an empty field returning to the standard font. Commit
♿ Wider accessibility mode coverage. Accessibility mode now lifts the contrast of more of the interface, including muted text, table text, icons, the colours elements change to on hover, and the highlight behind sidebar and menu items you point at, so low-contrast areas meet the level the accessibility guidelines ask for in both light and dark themes, and the close button on the folder dialog now announces itself to screen readers, as do document and slide previews, which can now be reached with the keyboard.

🌐 Translation updates. Polish, Simplified Chinese, German, Irish, Catalan, and Portuguese (Brazil) translations were expanded, corrected, and brought up to date with newer interface text. #29029, #29043, #29108, #29151, #29184, #29179, #29247, #29217

Fixed

🛡️ Security Advisory: This release includes security and access-control fixes. We recommend updating production deployments at your earliest convenience. Not all security fixes in this version may be enumerated in the fixed section. Some may be withheld for a short time to give administrators time to upgrade. Advisories
💥 Replies stop breaking mid-chat. A conversation no longer fails in the browser and stops showing the assistant reply until you reload, and chats already saved in that state display and can be edited again. #29250, #29244
⌨️ Preview shortcuts stay in the preview. Arrow keys now page a document or slide preview only while that preview has focus, instead of paging it from anywhere on the page and taking the arrow keys away from whatever you were typing in. Commit, Commit
🧊 Streaming no longer stalls on reasoning models. A reply from a reasoning model now streams through to the end instead of showing its first few words and then freezing until generation finishes. #29053, #29035
💭 Thinking stays in Thoughts. After a model uses a tool, its reasoning for the next step now appears in the collapsed Thoughts section instead of being written into the reply as ordinary text. #29052, #29040
🧠 Large tool calls stream faster through Anthropic-compatible clients. When a streamed tool call sends a large block of arguments, Open WebUI now waits until that block can actually be complete before checking it, instead of doing the same expensive check again on every tiny piece. #28858
🛑 Stop works across instances. Stopping a response now takes effect on deployments that spread people across several instances backed by a Redis cluster, instead of the reply continuing to the end regardless. #29165, #19840
🎯 Fewer needless chat reloads. A conversation holding an older unfinished reply no longer reloads itself each time some other response in it finishes, reloading only for the reply the update actually concerns. Commit
📖 Banners with underlined text. A banner containing underlined text now displays instead of failing to render. #29118, #29115
🧰 Pinned models start with their own tools. Starting a chat from a pinned model in the sidebar now applies that model's tools and skills instead of carrying over the ones from the model you used last. #29058, #29050
❓ Rejected ask_user calls no longer kill the reply. If a model asks the user a question in a way Open WebUI refuses, the model now receives that error and can continue or retry, instead of leaving the chat stopped with no answer. #29252, #29077
🚫 Disabled models no longer vanish. Turning a model off in the admin Models list now keeps it in view so you can turn it back on, instead of it disappearing with no way to recover it. #29037, #29036
✂️ Message text kept intact. Text containing angle brackets and a dollar sign is no longer mistaken for a skill mention and silently removed before your message reaches the model. #29051, #29041
📆 Moved calendar events stay visible. Changing an event's date no longer makes it disappear from the calendar, and events already stuck in that state show up again. #29085, #29067
🔁 Repeats follow the event. A repeating event now works out its occurrences from its own date and time, where a repeat rule carrying a start date of its own could place them on the wrong weekday or at the wrong hour. Commit
🔟 Repeating automations keep their count. An automation set to run a fixed number of times is no longer shown as running once and quietly rewritten to a single run the next time you open and save it. #29261, #29263
🗓️ Schedules survive a save. An automation carrying a start date now shows its real schedule in the list and keeps its weekly or monthly setting when saved, instead of showing raw rule text and falling back to daily. #29263
🧩 Custom automation schedules stay custom. Reopening an automation with a custom repeat rule no longer loses the custom rule from the editor. #29260
🔢 Accurate admin user counts. The counts on the admin Users tabs now follow your search and reset when you switch tabs, instead of showing stale or unfiltered numbers. #29080, #29079
🧷 Sidebar folders stop acting stale. A folder that has been removed from the sidebar is now removed from the internal sidebar registry too, so later sidebar actions do not target a folder that is no longer on screen. #29121
📱 Readable model list on small screens. The model identifier and timestamp in the workspace model list no longer overlap the model name on narrow displays. #29084, #29083
🧱 Long setting values stop crushing labels. Settings rows now let long controls shrink inside the available space instead of squeezing the label beside them. #29229
🧭 Model defaults panels stay usable. The model capabilities and prompt suggestion sections in admin settings now scroll inside their panels instead of growing past the available space. #29235
📲 Dropdowns stay on screen. A dropdown near the edge of a narrow screen now shifts inward to stay fully visible instead of opening past the edge with its option labels cut off. #29226, #29225
🌗 Dropdown lists follow the theme. The list a dropdown opens now takes its light or dark colouring from the rest of the interface instead of the system default. Commit
🎛️ Valves dialog stays in bounds. A valve whose selected options form a long line no longer stretches its input past the edge of the dialog and over the page behind it. #29203, #29202
🧹 Shared chats search resets. Reopening the shared chats dialog now starts with an empty search box and the full list, rather than a leftover search term above unfiltered results. #29082, #29081
🔎 Case-insensitive search beyond English. Searching and filtering by tag now ignore letter case for accented and non-Latin text on installations backed by SQLite, where only unaccented English letters were matched whatever their case. Commit
🏷️ Labels with colons and example URLs translate correctly. Interface text such as Warning:, http://localhost:8000, and https://mineru.net/api/v4 now appears correctly instead of being misread by the translation system. #29161, #29154
🔑 Precise account matching on SQLite. Signing in through an identity provider now matches your account on its exact identifier, so accounts whose identifier is an unusually long or zero-padded number are no longer at risk of being confused with another. Commit
🗃️ Knowledge list loads reliably. The Knowledge page in the workspace now fills in its list on opening instead of occasionally staying empty. Commit
🎟️ Tool servers without a key. A tool server connection saved without a key is no longer sent an empty authorization header, which some servers refused outright. Commit
🐍 Code interpreter starts on Windows. The built-in code interpreter now serves its script and WebAssembly files with the browser-safe file types Windows hosts sometimes overwrite, so Pyodide can load instead of failing before code runs. #29139, #29133

Changed

⏱️ Daily limit on repeats. A calendar event can no longer be set to repeat more often than once a day, and saving one that repeats more often is now refused with a message explaining the limit. Commit
🏷️ High Contrast Mode is now Accessibility Mode. The interface setting previously called 'High Contrast Mode' is now called 'Accessibility Mode', with the same switch in the same place. Commit
