Ollama – v0.17.8-rc3: ci: fix missing windows zip file (#14807)
🚨 Ollama v0.17.8-rc3 is here — and it’s all about reliability! 🛠️
This patch release tackles some critical under-the-hood issues — especially for Windows users and CI workflows:
🔹 Windows `.zip` artifact restored 🎉
Fixed the bug where the Windows build was missing from CI releases (#14807. No more “where’s my download?!” moments!
🔹 Smaller, smarter artifacts 📦
Switched to `7z` (7-Zip) compression where available for leaner downloads — bonus points for efficiency!
🔹 MLX backend split 🍱
To stay under GitHub’s 2GB limit, the MLX backend is now a separate download — keeps things snappy and avoids upload fails.
🔹 CI now fails loudly on artifact issues 🚨
No more silent failures — if uploads break, the pipeline knows. Better releases, all around!
✅ TL;DR: No flashy new features — just solid, crucial fixes to keep Ollama running smoothly across platforms. Perfect for those who like their LLMs stable and local. 🖥️✨
Stay tuned — more updates coming soon! 🚀
