Open WebUI v0.10.0. Source highlight: 🤝 **Share folders with your team.** You can now share a folder and the chats inside it with specific users, groups, or everyone, with read or write access; people you share with see shared folders in their sidebar and open the chats in a read-only view when they are not the owner, and administrators

## New Features
- 🤝 **Share folders with your team.** You can now share a folder and the chats inside it with specific users, groups, or everyone, with read or write access; people you share with see shared folders in their sidebar and open the chats in a read-only view when they are not the owner, and administrators control who is allowed to share folders with a new "Folders Sharing" permission that is off by default.

- 🗜️ **Automatic context compaction for long chats.** Conversations that grow past a configurable token threshold can now be summarized automatically so they stay within a model's context window, with a notification shown while it happens; administrators can enable it, set the threshold, customize the summarization prompt, and lower the threshold per model. It is off by default. Commit, Commit, Commit, #19594
- 🖥️ **Open WebUI Computer agent support.** Open WebUI can now connect to Open WebUI Computer through its OpenAI-compatible gateway, letting chats run full agent sessions on your own machine with file, terminal, git, and web access. GitHub
- 🚀 **Much faster hybrid search on large knowledge bases.** Hybrid search now runs natively in the database on pgvector setups instead of loading an entire collection into memory, so querying large knowledge bases is dramatically faster. Commit, #20737
- 🗂️ **External knowledge bases.** Knowledge bases can now be backed by an external retrieval source through configurable external knowledge connections, so you can search an existing external system from chat instead of only Open WebUI's built-in store. Commit
- 🧠 **Reworked memory system.** Memory has been overhauled with distinct memory types — long-lived personal memories and per-conversation context — managed through a structured add, update, and delete flow, giving models a more reliable way to remember and apply what they've learned about you.

## Bug Fixes
- 🔑 **Configurable secret key length.** The auto-generated secret key length can now be set with a new environment variable, instead of always using a fixed length. Commit, #25906
- 🔽 **Dropdown inputs for valve options.** Valve and confirmation inputs can now present a set of options as a dropdown instead of free text, making fixed-choice settings easier to configure. Commit, #26278
- 🛡️ **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
- 🔐 **Knowledge base write access enforced on upload.** Attaching an uploaded file to a knowledge base now requires the same write access as the rest of the knowledge API, so users without write access can no longer add files to a collection by referencing its ID. #26001
- 🗝️ **API key permission enforced on all key endpoints.** Viewing and deleting API keys now respects the API keys permission, matching the protection already applied to key creation. #25992
- 🔊 **Text-to-speech permission enforced on the speech endpoint.** The OpenAI speech proxy now honors the text-to-speech permission, so it can no longer be used by people who are not allowed to use that feature. #25993
