+### Added
+
+- 📂 **Dedicated Folder View with Chat List**: Clicking a folder now reveals a brand-new landing page showcasing a list of all chats within that folder, making navigation simpler and giving teams immediate visibility into project-specific conversations.
+- 🆕 **Streamlined Folder Creation Modal**: Creating a new folder is now a seamless, unified experience with a dedicated modal that visually and functionally matches the edit folder flow, making workspace organization more intuitive and error-free for all users.
+- 🗃️ **Direct File Uploads to Folder Knowledge**: You can now upload files straight to a folder’s knowledge—empowering you to enrich project spaces by adding resources and documents directly, without the need to pre-create knowledge bases beforehand.
+- 🔎 **Chat Preview in Search**: When searching chats, instantly preview results in context without having to open them—making discovery, auditing, and recall dramatically quicker, especially in large, active teams.
+- 🖼️ **Image Upload and Inline Insertion in Notes**: Notes now support inserting images directly among your text, letting you create rich, visually structured documentation, brainstorms, or reports in a more natural and engaging way—no more images just as attachments.
+- 📱 **Enhanced Note Selection Editing and Q&A**: Select any portion of your notes to either edit just the highlighted part or ask focused questions about that content—streamlining workflows, boosting productivity, and making reviews or AI-powered enhancements more targeted.
+- 📝 **Copy Notes as Rich Text**: Copy entire notes—including all formatting, images, and structure—directly as rich text for seamless pasting into emails, reports, or other tools, maintaining clarity and consistency outside the WebUI.
+- ⚡ **Fade-In Streaming Text Experience**: Live-generated responses now elegantly fade in as the AI streams them, creating a more natural and visually engaging reading experience; easily toggled off in Interface settings if you prefer static displays.
+- 🔄 **Settings for Follow-Up Prompts**: Fine-tune your follow-up prompt experience—with new controls, you can choose to keep them visible or have them inserted directly into the message input instead of auto-submitting, giving you more flexibility and control over your workflow.
+- 🔗 **Prompt Variable Documentation Quick Link**: Access documentation for prompt variables in one click from controls—shortening the learning curve and making advanced prompt-building more accessible.
+- 📈 **Active and Total User Metrics for Telemetry**: Gain valuable insights into usage patterns and platform engagement with new metrics tracking active and total users—enhancing auditability and planning for large organizations.
+- 🏷️ **Traceability with Log Trace and Span IDs**: Each log entry now carries detailed trace and span IDs, making it much easier for admins to pinpoint and resolve issues across distributed systems or in complex troubleshooting.
+- 👥 **User Group Add/Remove Endpoints**: Effortlessly add or remove users from groups with new, improved endpoints—giving admins and team leads faster, clearer control over collaboration and permissions.
+- ⚙️ **Settings Renamed and Note Controls Streamlined**: The main “Settings” are now simply called “Controls,” and note files now reside in a dedicated controls section, decluttering navigation and making it easier to find and configure note-related options.
+- 🚀 **Faster Admin User Page Loads**: The user list endpoint for admins has been optimized to exclude heavy profile images, speeding up load times for large teams and reducing waiting during administrative tasks.
+- 🌐 **Localization & Internationalization Improvements**: Refined and expanded translations for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Korean, and Polish, ensuring a more fluent and native experience for global users across all supported languages.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- 🏷️ **Hybrid Search Functionality Restored**: Hybrid search now works seamlessly again—enabling more accurate, relevant, and comprehensive knowledge discovery across all RAG-powered workflows.
+- 🚦 **Chat Edit Button Disabled During AI Generation**: The chat edit button is now disabled while the AI is responding—preventing accidental edits and ensuring workflow clarity during chat sessions.
+- 🧹 **Cleaner Database Credentials**: Database connection no longer duplicates ‘@’ in credentials, preventing potential connection issues and ensuring smoother, more reliable integrations.
+- 🧑‍💻 **File Deletion Now Removes Related Vector Data**: When files are deleted from storage, they are now purged from the vector database as well, ensuring clean data management and preventing clutter or stale search results.
+- 📁 **Files Modal Translation Issues Fixed**: All modal dialog strings—including “Using Entire Document” and “Using Focused Retrieval”—are now fully translated for a more consistent and localized UI experience.
+- 🚫 **Drag-and-Drop File Upload Disabled for Unsupported Models**: File upload by drag-and-drop is disabled when using models that do not support attachments—removing confusion and preventing workflow interruptions.
+- 🔑 **Ollama Tool Calls Now Reliable**: Fixed issues with Ollama-based tool calls, ensuring uninterrupted AI augmentation and tool use for every chat.
+
+### Changed
+
+- 👀 **Tiptap Editor Upgraded to v3**: The underlying rich text editor has been updated for future-proofing, though some supporting libraries remain on v2 for compatibility. For now, please install dependencies using 'npm install --force' to avoid installation errors.
+- 🚫 **Removed Redundant or Unused Strings and Elements**: Miscellaneous unused, duplicate, or obsolete code and translations have been cleaned up to maintain a streamlined and high-performance experience.
