New default UX has 1 long-press to send transcribed audio message
- Removes the previous default of 3 clicks required to send audio message
- The record > stop > send process to send audio messages was unclear
- Still allows stopping message from being sent, if users want to make
correction to transcribed audio
- Removes inadvertent long audio transcriptions if user forgets to
press stop when recording
- Changes
- Record audio while microphone button pressed
- Show auto-send 3s countdown timer UI for audio chat message
Provide a visual cue around send button for how long before audio
message is automatically sent to Khoj for response
- Auto-send msg in 3s unless stop send message button clicked
- Move delete icon to left of chat input. This makes it harder to
inadvertently click
- Add send button to chat footer. Enter being the only way to send
messages is not intuitive, outside standard modern UI patterns
- Color chat message send button to make it primary CTA on web client
- Make chat footer shorter. Use no or round border on action buttons
- Use SVG icons in chat footer on web
- Move delete icon to left of chat input. This makes it harder to
inadvertently click

- Issue
Users with Dataview plugin would have error as its markdown
post-processor expects the sourcePath to be a string
This prevents Khoj from responding to chat messages in the Obsidian
chat modal. Search via Obsidian still works but it throws the same
dataview plugin error
- Fix
Pass a string as sourcePath to markdownRenderer to fix failing chat response
and stop throwing dataview errors on search
Resolves#614, Resolves#606
Server connection check can be a little flaky in Obsidian. Don't gate
the commands behind it to improve usability of Khoj.
Previously the commands would get disabled when server connection
check failed, even though server was actually accessible
- Update server connection status on every edit of khoj url, api key in
settings instead of only on plugin load
The error message was stale if connection fixed after changes in
Khoj plugin settings to URL or API key, like on plugin install
- Show better welcome message on first plugin install.
Include API key setup instruction
- Show logged in user email on Khoj settings page

### Major
- Short-circuit API rate limiter for unauthenticated user
Calls by unauthenticated users were failing at API rate limiter as it
failed to access user info object. This is a bug.
API rate limiter should short-circuit for unauthenicated users so a
proper Forbidden response can be returned by API
Add regression test to verify that unauthenticated users get 403
response when calling the /chat API endpoint
### Minor
- Remove trailing slash to normalize khoj url in obsidian plugin settings
- Move used /api/config API controllers into separate module
- Delete unused /api/beta API endpoint
- Fix error message rendering in khoj.el, khoj obsidian chat
- Handle deprecation warnings for subscribe renew date, langchain, pydantic & logger.warn
- Use /api/health for server up check instead of api/config/default
- Remove unused `khoj--post-new-config' method
- Remove the now unused /config/data GET, POST API endpoints
* Support using hosted Huggingface inference endpoint for embeddings generation
* Since the huggingface inference endpoint is model-specific, make the URL an optional property of the search model config
* Handle ECONNREFUSED error in desktop app
* Drive API key via the search model config model and use more generic names
FastAPI API endpoints only support uploading 1000 files at a time.
So split all files to index into groups of 1000 for upload to
index/update API endpoint

Previously you could only index org-mode files and directories from
khoj.el
Mark the `khoj-org-directories', `khoj-org-files' variables for
deprecation, since `khoj-index-directories', `khoj-index-files'
replace them as more appropriate names for the more general case
Resolves#597
- Improve the prompt before sending it for image generation
- Update the help message to include online, image functionality
- Improve styling for the voice, trash buttons
The source URL returned by OpenAI would expire soon. This would make
the chat sessions contain non-accessible images/messages if using
OpenaI image URL
Get base64 encoded image from OpenAI and store directly in
conversation logs. This resolves the image link expiring issue
- Use new style references for Khoj chat modal in Obsidian
- Khoj Chat responses in Obsidian had regressed to not show references
for new questions after modal has been opened. Now even those are
rendered, and use new references style
- Render chat response as markdown while it's being streamed
- Add transcription button with mic icon
- Collect audio recording on pressing mic
- Process and send audio recording to server for transcription
- Extract the functionality to flash status in chat input for reuse
- Extract flashing status message in chat input placeholder into
reusable function
- Use emoji prefixes for status messages
- Improve alt text of transcribe button to indicate what the button does

- Ignore errors in deleting network requests to khoj server
- Also delete open network connection to khoj server on auto reindex
Otherwise when server is unreachable a bunch of failed network
connections accrue in the processes list
- Make auto-update of content index user configurable from khoj.el
- Handle server unavailable error on auto-index schedule job in khoj.el
Resolves#567
Previously it was only searching for PDF and Markdown files. This was
meant to show only content from current vault as results.
But it has not scaled well as other clients also allow syncing PDF and
markdown files now. So remove this content type filter for now.
A proper solution would limit by using file/dir filters on server or
client side.
- Adds support for multiple users to be connected to the same Khoj instance using their Google login credentials
- Moves storage solution from in-memory json data to a Postgres db. This stores all relevant information, including accounts, embeddings, chat history, server side chat configuration
- Adds the concept of a Khoj server admin for configuring instance-wide settings regarding search model, and chat configuration
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to the UX, including chat references, colors, and an updated config page
- Adds billing to allow users to subscribe to the cloud service easily
- Adds a separate GitHub action for building the dockerized production (tag `prod`) and dev (tag `dev`) images, separate from the image used for local building. The production image uses `gunicorn` with multiple workers to run the server.
- Updates all clients (Obsidian, Emacs, Desktop) to follow the client/server architecture. The server no longer reads from the file system at all; it only accepts data via the indexer API. In line with that, removes the functionality to configure org, markdown, plaintext, or other file-specific settings in the server. Only leaves GitHub and Notion for server-side configuration.

- Make mutable syncing variable not a const
- Show next sync time to make users aware of data sync is automated
- Keep a single Save button to reduce confusion. It does what Save All
previously did. Intent to manual sync should Save All
- Default to using app.khoj.dev as default Khoj URL to ease setup
Lock syncing to server if a sync is already in progress.
While the sync save button gets disabled while sync is in progress,
the background sync job can still trigger a sync in parallel. This
sync lock prevents that
- Remove spurious whitespace in chat input box on page load being
added because text area element was ending on newline
- Do not insert newline in message when send message by hitting enter key
This would be more evident when send message with cursor in the
middle of the sentence, as a newline would be inserted at the cursor
point
- Remove chat message separator tokens from model output. Model
sometimes starts to output text in it's chat format
- Pass current khoj version from package.json to about page via
electron IPC between backend js and frontend page
- Update Khoj information in default About screen as well, in case
it's exposed anywhere else
- Update background color to a different shade of white
- Make primary and primary hover colors less intense and more aligned
with lantern flame shade
- Add water, leaf, flower color variables
### ✨ New
- Use API keys to authenticate from Desktop, Obsidian, Emacs clients
- Create API, UI on web app config page to CRUD API Keys
- Create user API keys table and functions to CRUD them in Database
### 🧪 Improve
- Default to better search model, [gte-small](https://huggingface.co/thenlper/gte-small), to improve search quality
- Only load chat model to GPU if enough space, throw error on load failure
- Show encoding progress, truncate headings to max chars supported
- Add instruction to create db in Django DB setup Readme
### ⚙️ Fix
- Fix error handling when configure offline chat via Web UI
- Do not warn in anon mode about Google OAuth env vars not being set
- Fix path to load static files when server started from project root
### Overview
- Add ability to push data to index from the Emacs, Obsidian client
- Switch to standard mechanism of syncing files via HTTP multi-part/form. Previously we were streaming the data as JSON
- Benefits of new mechanism
- No manual parsing of files to send or receive on clients or server is required as most have in-built mechanisms to send multi-part/form requests
- The whole response is not required to be kept in memory to parse content as JSON. As individual files arrive they're automatically pushed to disk to conserve memory if required
- Binary files don't need to be encoded on client and decoded on server
### Code Details
### Major
- Use multi-part form to receive files to index on server
- Use multi-part form to send files to index on desktop client
- Send files to index on server from the khoj.el emacs client
- Send content for indexing on server at a regular interval from khoj.el
- Send files to index on server from the khoj obsidian client
- Update tests to test multi-part/form method of pushing files to index
#### Minor
- Put indexer API endpoint under /api path segment
- Explicitly make GET request to /config/data from khoj.el:khoj-server-configure method
- Improve emoji, message on content index updated via logger
- Don't call khoj server on khoj.el load, only once khoj invoked explicitly by user
- Improve indexing of binary files
- Let fs_syncer pass PDF files directly as binary before indexing
- Use encoding of each file set in indexer request to read file
- Add CORS policy to khoj server. Allow requests from khoj apps, obsidian & localhost
- Update indexer API endpoint URL to` index/update` from `indexer/batch`
Resolves#471#243
New URL query params, `force' and `t' match name of query parameter in
existing Khoj API endpoints
Update Desktop, Obsidian and Emacs client to call using these new API
query params. Set `client' query param from each client for telemetry
visibility
New URL follows action oriented endpoint naming convention used for
other Khoj API endpoints
Update desktop, obsidian and emacs client to call this new API
endpoint
- Keep state of previously synced files to identify files to be deleted
- Last synced files stored in settings for persistence of this data
across Obsidian reboots
Use the multi-part/form-data request to sync Markdown, PDF files in
vault to index on khoj server
Run scheduled job to push updates to value for indexing every 1 hour
This prevents Khoj from polling the Khoj server until explicitly
invoked via `khoj' entrypoint function.
Previously it'd make a request to the khoj server every time Emacs or
khoj.el was loaded
Closes#243
- Make `bump_version.sh' script set version for the Khoj desktop app too
- Sync Khoj desktop app authors, license, description and version with
the other interfaces and server
- Update description in packages metadata to match project subtitle on Github
