- Added hybrid search enhancements: new Ollama and generic REST embedder sources, a distribution embedder setting, and support for negative keyword operators to exclude terms.
- Breaking changes: semanticScore and vector fields are no longer returned in search responses; use rankingScore instead, and query vector details are hidden when rankingScoreDetails is enabled.
- Improved security and robustness: API key hidden in settings/task queue, introduced concurrent search request limits and a searchable‑request timeout (searchCutoffMs), plus numerous bug fixes and performance tweaks.
