Ollama – v0.17.8-rc1: ci: Fix windows build (#14754)

🚨 Ollama v0.17.8-rc1 is live! 🚨

This one’s a micro-update with big implications for Windows devs and CI workflows — no flashy new features, but a solid behind-the-scenes upgrade!

🔧 What’s new?

• ✅ Fixed Windows build issues (#14754) by swapping out shell-based wildcard expansion (`sh`) for a native Go implementation.
• 🌐 Why it matters: `sh` (e.g., bash) behaves differently—or not at all—on Windows. This change boosts cross-platform consistency, especially in automated environments like GitHub Actions or Docker builds.
• 🛠️ Think of it as Ollama finally nailing its Windows boot sequence — fewer “works on my machine” headaches!

📦 No user-facing changes yet, but this paves the way for smoother releases ahead. Keep an eye out for the stable `v0.17.8` drop! 🎯

Ollama – v0.17.8-rc0: MLX: add header vendoring and remove go build tag (#14642)

🚀 Ollama v0.17.8-rc0 is here — and it’s packing some serious dev-friendly upgrades!

🔥 MLX Integration Gets a Major Boost

• ✅ Header vendoring for `mlx-c` — Go can now build without CMake first 🎉
• ✅ Removed `go build` tag restriction — MLX support is now on by default
• 🔄 Headers auto-refresh on CMake runs → easier upgrades & less friction
• ✅ Basic Windows + Linux support confirmed (finally!)

🔧 ROCm on Windows

• 🚫 Temporarily sticking with ROCm v6 (v7 needs more love — stay tuned)

🛠️ CI/CD Hardening

• 🛡️ CI now handles flaky Chocolatey repos gracefully
• ⚠️ Builds proceed even if cache fails (since caching is optional for speed)

💡 Why it matters: Smoother builds, better Apple Silicon (MLX) support, and more resilient CI = faster iteration for devs experimenting locally. 🧪💻

Check it out if you’re running Ollama on macOS/Windows/Linux — especially with Apple Silicon or ROCm setups! 🧠⚡

Text Generation Webui – v4.0

🚀 Text-Generation-WebUI v4.0 is here! 🚀

The big v4.0 update brings major improvements across the board — think of it as the “big bang” moment for the UI’s modernization! Here’s what’s new:

🔹 Brand-new Gradio-based UI

A complete redesign with a sleek, responsive interface — faster, cleaner, and way more intuitive. Think Stable Diffusion WebUI vibes, but for LLMs 🎨✨

🔹 Backend Agnostic Architecture

Now even easier to switch between backends (llama.cpp, Transformers, ExLlamaV3/V2, TensorRT-LLM) — with better hot-swapping and config management. 🔄

🔹 Built-in Document Loader (PDF, DOCX, TXT)

Upload and chat with your files directly — no more copy-paste or external tools! 📄➡️🧠

🔹 Web Search Integration (Optional)

Add real-time context via DuckDuckGo or SERP API — perfect for RAG without the hassle. 🔍🌐

🔹 New Extensions API

Smoother, more powerful extension support — TTS, translation, custom UI hooks, and more. 🧩

🔹 OpenAI-Compatible API Improvements

Better parity with the real deal — including streaming, chat completions, and tool calling. 📡

🔹 One-Click Portable Builds & Installer

Still as easy as ever to get up and running — Windows, Linux, macOS. 🧪⚡

🔥 Bonus: Better memory management, improved prompt templates, and a much more stable chat mode.

Ollama – v0.17.7

🚨 Ollama v0.17.7 is out! 🚨

This patch brings a subtle but important fix under the hood:

🔹 Stale context window entries now get properly overridden — meaning outdated prompt/chat history data won’t linger and mess with your inference accuracy. 💡

🧠 Why you’ll care:

• Cleaner, more reliable multi-turn conversations
• Better token efficiency (no hidden bloat from old context!)
• Smoother long-context handling — especially helpful if you’re pushing model limits

📦 No flashy new models or API changes this time, but it’s a solid reliability bump for everyday use.

Happy local LLM tinkering! 🛠️🤖

Ollama – v0.17.7-rc2

🚀 Ollama v0.17.7-rc2 is out!

This release candidate brings a handy fix for context window management — specifically, overriding stale entries in the context tracking logic. 🧠✨

🔹 What’s fixed?

• Stale context data (e.g., outdated conversation history) no longer lingers and messes with model responses.
• Improves reliability in multi-turn chats, especially for longer sessions or when switching between conversations.

💡 Why it matters: Cleaner context = more accurate, consistent responses — and fewer “wait, why did it say that?!” moments. 😅

Since this is an rc2, it’s a pre-release focused on polish and stability ahead of the final `v0.17.7`. No flashy new features yet, but solid under-the-hood improvements!

👉 Grab it and test: v0.17.7-rc2 on GitHub

Ollama – v0.17.7-rc1

🚨 Ollama v0.17.7-rc1 is out! 🚨

This release is a tiny but tidy patch candidate — only one commit landed:

🔧 `cmd/config: fix cloud model limit lookups in integrations (#14650)`

✅ What’s fixed:

• Resolves a bug where Ollama was misfetching or misapplying model usage limits when integrated with cloud services (e.g., Ollama Cloud or third-party APIs).
• Ensures smoother, more accurate rate-limit handling in hybrid/local–cloud workflows.

📌 Why it matters:

• If you’re using Ollama with cloud backends or integrations (like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom tooling), this fix helps avoid unexpected throttling or config mismatches.
• No new features, no breaking changes — just more reliability 🛠️
