    Dated release notes, roughly every two to three weeks. Each entry is grouped into "What's New",
    "What's Improved", "What's Fixed" and, where applicable, "Deprecation Warnings".

entries:
  - version: 0.26.1
    date: '2026-07-08'
    breaking: false
    highlights:
      - CPU-based vLLM engine option for compatible deployments.
      - Top requesting users — breakdown of the 10 users with the highest request counts per model under Monitor on the Models page.
      - Interactive example inference protocol requests and responses on the Chariot-Recognized Inference Protocols page.
      - Users can be created and added to Chariot Core without automatic organization assignment.
      - Effective permissions now show when they are elevated by organization role or project visibility.
      - Inference Engines support deep linking for sharing.
      - >-
        Chariot Core now uses a new Chariot-Inference-Base-ID header instead of X-Request-ID to build
        inference IDs; existing ID formats and the querying process are unchanged and X-Request-ID
        remains in place.
    fixes:
      - Drift checks no longer take prohibitively long to load.
  - version: 0.26.0
    date: '2026-06-25'
    breaking: false
    highlights:
      - >-
        Inference Engine Library — fuller UI for managing Inference Engines, including search/sort,
        engine documentation and readiness details, environment variable schemas and engine settings.
      - >-
        Legacy models are migrated to Inference Engines; users no longer select a model framework or
        artifact type during upload.
      - Text datum metadata is viewable when previewing text datums.
      - Dataset lists default to most-recently-updated first.
      - Token metrics reported for models served through the OpenAI proxy engine.
      - Model upload can prepopulate names and metadata for models exported from Chariot.
      - Transformers version updated to support newer Hugging Face models.
    fixes:
      - Bounding boxes and segmentations must now be completely within image boundaries.
      - Fixed pagination of the dataset selector in the Training Wizard.
      - Annotation tasks can no longer be started for deleted datasets.
  - version: 0.25.4
    date: '2026-06-08'
    breaking: false
    highlights:
      - Keyboard shortcuts for next, previous and skip sample in the Annotation Editor.
    fixes:
      - Fixed dataset-upload caching bug, significantly decreasing upload times.
  - version: 0.25.3
    date: '2026-05-22'
    breaking: false
    highlights:
      - Datasets API supports sorting datasets by storage size.
      - Models using the Azure OpenAI inference engine report token metrics.
      - Improved dataset and dataset view list page performance.
    fixes:
      - SDK infer() no longer waits indefinitely on a model without an active inference service.
      - Fixed model comparison and annotation-task-after-dataset-deletion handling.
    deprecations:
      - RStudio removed as a standard workspace application.
  - version: 0.25.2
    date: '2026-05-08'
    breaking: false
    fixes:
      - Model upload exception path fixed so upload failures no longer surface as unhandled errors.
      - Fixed large image preview cut-off in inference display.
      - Fixed scrolling in Model Card Template view and a draw-overlap issue in object-detection annotation.
  - version: 0.25.1
    date: '2026-04-24'
    breaking: false
    highlights:
      - Automatic restart for Training Runs interrupted by infrastructure rotation.
      - Inference Server configuration display exposes custom engine fields and server state.
      - Custom Inference Engine version and environment variable options in Model Version Settings.
    fixes:
      - Improved workspace scheduling so workspaces are less likely to stick in Pending.
  - version: 0.25.0
    date: '2026-04-03'
    breaking: false
    highlights:
      - Model Card Templates configurable at organization or project level.
      - vLLM token-level metrics.
      - User-scoped secrets management under Profile → Secrets.
      - Model license data visible under Model Version Details, with filtering by license.
      - Hugging Face import file-tree view for selective inclusion of repository contents.
