- Reduces time to first render when loading long chat sessions
- Limits size of first page load, when loading long chat sessions
These performance improvements are maximally felt for large chat
sessions with lots of images generated by Khoj
Updated web and desktop app to support these changes for now
- Magika on Desktop app was too bloated (100Mb to 250Mb) and broke
install for some reason. Not sure why it was causing the app install
to fail but do not have time to currently investigate
- Just use file extensions whitelist it's good enough for now. Let
server handle the deeper identification of file type
### Index more text file types
- Index all text, code files in Github repos. Not just md, org files
- Send more text file types from Desktop app and improve indexing them
- Identify file type by content & allow server to index all text files
### Deprecate Github Indexing Features
- Stop indexing commits, issues and issue comments in a Github repo
- Skip indexing Github repo on hitting Github API rate limit
### Fixes and Improvements
- **Fix indexing files in sub-folders from Desktop app**
- Standardize structure of text to entries to match other entry processors
- `file-type' doesn't handle mis-labelled files or files without
extensions well
- Only show supported file types in file selector dialog on Desktop app
Use Magika to get list of text file extensions. Combine with other
supported extensions to get complete list of supported file extensions.
Use it to limit selectable files in the File Open dialog.
Note: Folder selector will index text files with no extensions as well
- Move new conversation button to right of "Conversation" title
- Reduce size of chat message loading ellipsis animation
- Add loading animation for chat session
- `fs.readdir' func in node version 18.18.2 has buggy `recursive' option
See nodejs/node#48640, effect-ts/effect#1801 for details
- We were recursing down a folder in two ways on the Desktop app.
Remove `recursive: True' option to the `fs.readdirSync' method call
to recurse down via app code only
- Allow syncing more file types from desktop app to index on server
- Use `file-type' package to identify valid text file types on Desktop app
- Split plaintext entries into smaller logical units than a whole file
Since the text splitting upgrades in #645, compiled chunks have more
logical splits like paragraph, sentence.
Show those (potentially) smaller snippets to the user as references
- Tangential Fix:
Initialize unbound currentTime variable for error log timestamp
### Overview
Khoj can now read website directly without needing to go through the search step first
### Details
- Parallelize simple webpage read and extractor
- Rename extract_content online results field to web pages
- Tweak prompts to extract information from webpages, online results
- Test select webpage as data source and extract web urls chat actors
- Render webpage read in chat response references on Web, Desktop apps
- Pass multiple webpages with their urls in online results context
- Support webpage command in chat API
- Add webpage chat command for read web pages requested by user
- Create chat actor for directly reading webpages based on user message
- Ask for Confirmation before deleting chat session in Desktop, Web app
- Save chat session rename on hitting enter in title edit input box
- No need to flash previous conversation cleared status message
- Move chat session delete button after rename button in Desktop app
Previously only the notes references would get rendered post response
streaming when when both online and notes references were used to
respond to the user's message
- Trigger
SentenceTransformer Cross Encoder models now run fast on GPU enabled machines, including Mac ARM devices since UKPLab/sentence-transformers#2463
- Details
- Use cross-encoder to rerank search results by default on GPU machines and when using an inference server
- Only call search API when pause in typing search query on web, desktop apps
Wait for 300ms since stop typing before calling search API.
This smooths out UI jitter when rendering search results, especially
now that we're reranking for every search query on GPU enabled devices
Emacs already has 300ms debounce time. More convoluted to add
debounce time to Obsidian search modal, so not updating that yet
- Fix
`get_conversation_by_user' shouldn't return new conversation if
conversation with requested id not found.
It should only return new conversation if no specific conversation
is requested and no conversations found for user at all
- Repro
- Delete a new chat, this calls loadChat via window.onload which
calls server /chat/history API endpoint with conversationId set to
that of just deleted conversation sporadically
The call to GET chat/history API with conversationId set occurs
when window.onload triggers before the conversationId is deleted
by the delete button after the DELETE /chat/history API call (via race)
- In such a scenario, get_conversation_by_user called by
chat/history API with conversationId of deleted conversation
returns a new conversation
- Miscellaneous
- Chat history load should be logged as call to that chat_history api,
not the "chat" api
- Show status updates of clearing conversation history in chat input
- Simplify web, desktop client code by removing unnecessary new variables
* Upload generated images to s3, if AWS credentials and bucket is available.
- In clients, render the images via the URL if it's returned with a text-to-image2 intent type
* Make the loading screen more intuitve, less jerky and update the programmatic copy button
* Update the loading icon when waiting for a chat response
* Make major improvements to the image generation flow
- Include user context from online references and personal notes for generating images
- Dynamically select the modality that the LLM should respond with
- Retun the inferred context in the query response for the dekstop, web chat views to read
* Add unit tests for retrieving response modes via LLM
* Move output mode unit tests to the actor suite, rather than director
* Only show the references button if there is at least one available
* Rename aget_relevant_modes to aget_relevant_output_modes
* Use a shared method for generating reference sections, simplify some of the prompting logic
* Make out of space errors in the desktop client more obvious
- Open external links using the default link handler registered on OS
for the link type, e.g http:// -> firefox, mailto: thunderbird etc
- Confirm before opening non-http URL using an external app
- Improve
- Only send files modified since their last sync for indexing on server from the Obsidian client
- Fix
- Invalidate static asset browser cache in Web client when Khoj version changes
* Retrieve, create, and save conversations differently if they're coming from a client application
- Not all of our client apps will necessarily maintain state over the conversation IDs available to a user. For some (single-threaded conversations), it should just use a single conversation. Fix the code to do so
* Simplify conversation retrieval logic
* Keep 0 padding below chat response
* Add order_by sorting to retrieving the conversation without id
- Resolve PWA issues thrown by Chrome/Edge
- Add screenshot samples showcasing remember, browse and draw features
- This can provide a richer app store like experience when
installing Khoj PWA on Mobile or Desktop
- Add wide and narrow screenshots to show Mobile vs Desktop UX
- Add higher resolution favicon for PWA
- Use single web manifest instead of separate ones for Chat, Search
- Update manifest description with more details about Khoj features
