Meilisearch v1.38 drastically improves indexing performance for embeddings, cleans up the task queue of orphan tasks and batches, ensures they are correctly deleted now, fixes issues users may encounter with OpenAI or VoyageAI when generating embeddings, and improves the tooling for generating routes in the documentation.
### **✨ Enhancement**
- Embeddings: Use the latest version of hannoy with improved performances by @Kerollmops in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6184
We drastically reduced embedding indexing time by eliminating full database scans. It is more efficient to add a couple of embeddings to a large database now.
- Tasks: Optimize and fix task deletion by @Mubelotix and @kerollmops in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5828
### 🪲 Bug fixes
- Embedders: Fix the intermittent `connection reset by peer` errors when embedding documents or search queries using a remote embedder. By @dureuill in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6191
### 🔩 Miscellaneous
- Enforce that routes appear in the reference documentation by @dureuill and @manythefish in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6200
[The reference API](https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/reference/api/) is now generated from the source code, but it used to miss some actix-declared routes. It is now mandatory to attach a route when using the newly-provided `routes::routes` and `routes::path` macros, which ensures the route is added to the reference. Please refer to the documentation of the individual macros and the many examples throughout the codebase for more details.
