@@ -38,7 +38,8 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - 🏟️ **Arena models report their errors.** A message to an arena model whose provider answers with an error now shows that error in the chat, where it used to fail on something unrelated and leave the real reason unsaid, and titles and tags no longer break the same way. [#29662](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29662), [#29658](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29658)
 - 🏳️ **Nameless tool calls fail once.** A model endpoint that sends a tool call with no name at all now has that call fail on the spot, rather than the missing name being kept, stored with the message and sent back on the next turn for the endpoint to reject. [#29690](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29690), [#29686](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29686)
 - 🧹 **Direct connections stop leaking listeners.** A server talking to a direct connection no longer leaves a listener behind for every request that ends any way but a clean finish, which grew without limit while a connection kept failing. [#29509](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29509)
-- 🔁 **The shared model list stops rewriting itself.** Where several servers share their state through Redis, the countdown Ollama attaches to a model it holds in memory moved with every refresh, so the whole model registry was written out again each time; that value is now kept out of the stored copy, and still reported by the API, leaving the registry alone where nothing else changed.

+- 🚀 **Refreshing the model list costs less.** Where several servers share their state through Redis, the whole model registry was written out again on every refresh, because the countdown Ollama attaches to a model it holds in memory moved each time. That value is now kept out of the stored copy, and still reported by the API, so the registry is written only when the models themselves change. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/649c012ecf308a994ea180127f7f8f94d0aec311)
+- 🏎️ **Pages full of media read quickly again.** Reading a page through the browser-driven loader pulled every image, video and font it referenced down through the server before any text was extracted, so a page carrying a few dozen audio players took ten seconds or timed out; those requests are now dropped before they are made, and the same page comes back in under three. [#29742](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29742), [#29741](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29741)
 - 📝 **Starting a note from search.** Starting a note from the search box now works when you are already on the notes page, keeps the whole of what you typed including characters such as ampersands and hashes, and no longer makes a further note each time the browser back button is pressed. [#29645](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29645), [#29642](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29642)
 - 📱 **Replies show on iPhone and iPad.** An assistant reply no longer comes up blank in a home screen app, an in-app browser or a desktop-class window on Apple devices, where the check that avoided the drawing fault only recognised Safari itself. [#29734](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29734), [#29688](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29688), [#26712](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/26712)
 - 📊 **Relevance shown for a lone source.** A reply drawing on a single source now shows how relevant that source is, where the figure appeared only once a second source joined it and so looked as though it came and went.
