v0.4.12
b6cc4d9

From v0.4.9 to v0.4.12, the main issues addressed were:

  • Smoother startup: Runtime detection now starts automatically, without requiring a manual refresh, and time-consuming tasks have been moved to background processes.
  • Queries are less likely to crash: Queries now run in isolated processes, so even if a model or CUDA fails, the main interface remains protected and the system attempts to fall back automatically.
  • More reasonable GPU and memory decisions: Instead of using a rigid memory threshold, resource availability is now evaluated dynamically based on the model, system memory, and GPU memory.
  • Clearer query status: The interface now shows the current stage, such as semantic recall, fusion, and reranking, and provides actionable troubleshooting guidance.
  • Cleaner interface: Queries, results, configuration, and activity logs are separated, while numeric input fields and the collapsible top layout have been improved.
  • Live watchers can stop reliably: Batch stopping, individual vault stopping, and application shutdown now correctly clean up watcher processes.
  • PDF/Tika operations no longer block the interface: Directory scanning, status refreshes, and index statistics now run in the background.
  • Release packages are easier to identify: The standard Windows version is now clearly labeled WIN-EXE.

In simple terms, these releases gradually transformed the application from one that could feel slow at startup, crash during queries, and provide unclear status information into one with more stable startup, safer queries, more sensible GPU usage, and background tasks that no longer drag down the interface.

OmniClip RAG v0.4.12 Release Notes

Release Status

v0.4.12 is the adaptive Reranker-resource, visible query-stage, and query-process cleanup release.

Release Focus

This release removes the universal 10 GiB Windows Commit floor that could skip a healthy Reranker even when the machine had enough RAM and VRAM for the actual workload.

Auto now estimates the active Reranker's requirements from the measured local model weights and query batch settings, then compares that estimate with live Windows Commit headroom, available physical memory, and free CUDA memory. The Query Console exposes those measured and required values whenever Auto must skip only the optional second-pass ordering.

Highlights

  • Auto uses a model-aware resource estimate instead of a universal 10 GiB Commit threshold.
  • Explicit CUDA remains an intentional user override while desktop queries stay isolated from the main interface.
  • The status button beside Search shows the live query stage and percentage.
  • Visible stages include preparation, lexical recall, semantic recall, fusion, reranking, result finalization, context packing, copying, and fallback recovery.
  • Failed queries keep a clear failed state instead of showing an earlier completed query.
  • Score-threshold and result-limit fields remain immediately beside their labels on wide windows.
  • Completed, cancelled, and failed query children are explicitly waited on and reaped.
  • Global live-watch stop now targets every actual running vault, even if the selected-vault set changed after startup.
  • Each vault exposes a non-repeatable stopping state while its worker exits.
  • Initial vault scans, incremental rendering, and vector writes honor cooperative stop requests and retain repair state when interrupted.
  • Application shutdown waits for live-watch workers instead of immediately discarding their bookkeeping.
  • PDF/Tika directory actions keep state reloads and indexed-source summaries off the Qt UI thread.
  • Repeated PDF/Tika refresh requests are coalesced, and stale background results cannot overwrite newer directory settings.

Release Assets

  • OmniClipRAG-v0.4.12-WIN-EXE.zip
    • ordinary Windows desktop GUI package; the explicit WIN-EXE label makes the end-user download unambiguous
  • OmniClipRAG-MCP-v0.4.12-win64.zip
    • manual MCP package for direct stdio setup
  • omniclip-rag-mcp-win-x64-v0.4.12.mcpb
    • MCPB package for the official Registry and MCPB-aware clients

Validation Scope

  • Focused Query Console regressions for live stage text, failed state, and numeric-control ownership.
  • Adaptive Reranker resource-budget and explicit CUDA override regressions.
  • Query-worker completion and cancellation reaping regressions.
  • Multi-vault live-watch stop, duplicate-stop suppression, cooperative vector cancellation, and worker-exit regressions.
  • PDF/Tika directory-button responsiveness, background-thread ownership, stale-result rejection, and pending state-reload regressions.
  • Full automated test suite.
  • Packaged GUI, MCP, and MCPB build audits.
  • Packaged multi-vault query verification with CUDA vector recall and CUDA Reranker execution.

Privacy and Compatibility

  • Release archives exclude local Runtime installations, model caches, vault contents, indexes, logs, configuration files, credentials, Registry tokens, and temporary query payloads.
  • Markdown, PDF, Tika, index, Runtime-layout, and MCP tool contracts are unchanged.
  • Auto can still skip only the optional Reranker when the model-aware estimate says current resources are insufficient.
  • Explicit CPU/CUDA device selection remains available.
