New features

• clp-json/clp-text: Add support for configuring retention periods for archives and search results. (#1035, #1181, #1205, #1231)
• clp-json: Add dataset-manager tool to support listing datasets, and deleting them entirely. (#1144, #1215, #1225)

Bug fixes & improvements

• clp-json/clp-text: Fix scheduler freezes by updating celery to 5.5.3 with the redis extra (replacing the direct redis dependency) (fixes #1059). (#1213)
• clp-json/clp-text: Remove dependency on native libraries for scripts run on the host (fixes #895, #1185). (#1105, #1197)
• core-clp: Preserve escaped ?-wildcards in queries (fixes #243). (#1070)
• core: Unify clp-s and clp’s unstructured text parsing and search code. (#1101, #1103, #1112, #1138, #1143, #1163)
  • Breaking: This is a change to the archive format used by clp-json (and the core clp-s binary).
• webui: Delete old search results after 60min by default. (#1231)
  • Breaking: Previously, the results of the last query executed before refreshing the page would be retained indefinitely.
• webui: Update query time range on any change in the UI to prevent query submission with out-of-date time range. (#1171)
• webui: Focus/refocus query input box for ease of use. (#1160)
• clp-json/clp-text: Only mount stream_output_dir when stream storage type is FS, to allow running the webui on a different node when using S3 storage. (#1129)
• clp-json/clp-text: Explicitly convert enum to integer to ensure accurate conversions when using the mysql Python library. (#1133)
• webui: Cast BIGINT values as UNSIGNED to fix MySQL-specific type errors in dashboard stats queries (fixes #1137). (#1136)
• clp-json/clp-text: Mark incomplete jobs as failed when schedulers restart. (#1208)
• clp-json/clp-text: Add verbose logging option to archive_manager and simplify output on errors. (#1173)

  • Breaking: This is a change to clp-json/clp-text’s config file format.
• core: Replace YAML config with CLI args and env vars for metadata DB. (#1148)
  • Breaking: This is a change to how the core clp/clp-s binaries can be configured to use a MySQL-based database (the change is transparent to clp-json/clp-text users).
• core: Address CVE-2024-3094 and CVE-2025-31115 for xz/lzma dependency (fixes #1093). (#1094)
