 ### Added
 
+- 🖥️ **Native desktop app availability.** Open WebUI is now available as a cross-platform desktop app with local model support, multi-server switching, and offline-ready usage after first launch. [#8262](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/8262), [Desktop](https://github.com/open-webui/desktop)
+- 🔌 **Backend outlet filters for API proxy.** Pipeline and function outlet filters now run directly in backend chat completion flows, so API proxy clients receive post-processed responses consistently without requiring a separate completion callback. [#3237](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/3237), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/cf4218e688def6f11d195aeda6665ae5b5376b67)
 - 🤖 **Scheduled chat automations.** Users can now create, schedule, run, and manage recurring automations from both the dedicated automations page and built-in chat tools, with execution logs, direct run controls, and permission-aware access control for user and group policies. [#23303](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23303), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/5a2ff8b2e5b6f55a20f7ed491f818490eb535ea7), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/d30a0531d4add045c21a2368d6321a9b1906865f), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/bae5ff938ac88a3a647cc31ca8db1101015ae18b), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/588b81eedaacbfd7394b707ae1600d9fb729b809..674695918e5e3e1811314ce2a082c5bbb42d76b2)
 - 🧰 **Automation tools in chat.** Built-in chat tools can now create, update, list, pause, and delete scheduled automations directly in conversation when automation access is enabled. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/588b81eedaacbfd7394b707ae1600d9fb729b809..674695918e5e3e1811314ce2a082c5bbb42d76b2)
 - ⏱️ **Automation scheduling limits.** Administrators can now set "AUTOMATION_MAX_COUNT" and "AUTOMATION_MIN_INTERVAL" to limit how many automations each non-admin user can create and prevent overly frequent schedules that could overload the system.

 ### Fixed
 
+- 🚀 **Persistent chat payload efficiency.** Persisted chats now use server-side history loading instead of repeatedly resending full message payloads, improving multimodal performance and reducing stale-history overwrite risk across devices. [#19064](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19064), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/18fe17127a7175579506e7456d3e5aba201371e6), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/cf4218e688def6f11d195aeda6665ae5b5376b67)
+- 📚 **Channel document context retention.** Channel conversations now preserve and load the correct stored message history so model responses can use uploaded and retrieved document context more reliably. [#23686](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/23686), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/cf4218e688def6f11d195aeda6665ae5b5376b67), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/18fe17127a7175579506e7456d3e5aba201371e6)
+- 🧰 **Large tool result rendering.** Tool call details now display large result payloads reliably in chat instead of intermittently showing empty output for bigger tool responses. [#18743](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/18743), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/45e49d33e51f7720c00b564215484aff9b48b20c)
+- ⏳ **Interrupted response recovery.** Assistant placeholder messages now start as incomplete and recover more safely after interrupted generations, preventing silent empty replies after refreshes or dropped requests. [#23176](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/23176), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/c8ef7b028931263e8773cb60a7111d80d9572d26), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/cf4218e688def6f11d195aeda6665ae5b5376b67)
+- 🔐 **Static OAuth tool registration reliability.** Static OAuth tool server registration now resolves and uses saved admin credentials more reliably, preventing registration failures when valid client credentials are provided. [#23670](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/23670), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/2943955c529138c0e530fd07b6333a0052e3684e), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/c767bcaa739f76b1a4337dfd9d6be47adb504825)
+- 🔑 **SSO password option visibility.** Account settings now hide password change controls when password-change access is disabled, avoiding misleading password options for SSO-focused setups. [#15292](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/15292), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/cced77b584d6ea46c58fecddb2b3dd5e955c8417)
 - 🛡️ **Model description XSS protection.** Model descriptions shown in chat placeholders are now sanitized before rendering, preventing malicious links from executing scripts and helping protect user sessions from takeover. [#23621](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23621)
 - 🗂️ **Folder ownership assignment hardening.** Folder create and update inputs now reject unexpected extra fields, preventing clients from overriding protected values like ownership through mass-assignment payloads. [#23648](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/23648)
 - 🔐 **OAuth 2.1 PKCE enforcement.** OAuth 2.1 providers now default to S256 PKCE even when discovery metadata omits supported challenge methods, preventing login failures with providers that require PKCE by default. [#23667](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/23667), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/050c4b97a95addc5eaeef86ba00631673a90dec4)
