## Bug Fixes
- 🛡️ **Security Advisory**: This release contains **security fixes**. We **strongly recommend updating** all deployments **as soon as possible** to have the latest security fixes in place. These fixes are **not listed in this changelog**; we will publish the security advisories for them immediately following CVE assignment. Advisories
- 🔃 **New chats stay in sync.** A chat started from the home page keeps syncing with the server again after it is created, so files removed from the chat's Controls no longer come back after a reload and the owner of a chat shared with Allow replies gets Regenerate on other people's replies again. #33377, #33376
- 📂 **Temporary Chat on folder pages.** Turning Temporary Chat on or off on a folder's page, with the button at the top or with "/temporary", now keeps you on the folder page, so the next chat is still saved in the folder and gets its system prompt, default model and knowledge. #33456, #33448
- 🧵 **Thread reply focus.** Choosing Reply in Thread on a channel message now puts the cursor in the thread's reply box, also when the thread panel is already open. #33467, #33466
- 🪟 **Thread message actions visible.** Hovering the top message in a channel thread now shows its whole actions toolbar instead of cutting off its top half at the edge of the panel. Commit, #33472
- 📞 **Interrupting realtime calls.** Interrupting the model while it speaks in a realtime voice call no longer ends the whole call when the reported playback position does not match the audio. Commit, #33550
