Remove all references to legacy RUNTIME_SEED_* environment variables from documentation and codebase. Update docs and .env.example to document the new RUNTIME_SEED_JSON and RUNTIME_SEED_JSON_PATH variables for first-boot runtime config and provider seeding. Refactor admin seed logic and runtime config schema to eliminate env-var-based seeding in favor of JSON-based initialization. Update admin panel UI and badges to reflect new seed sources. Remove obsolete env parsing logic and tests for RUNTIME_SEED_* flags. Add new tests for JSON seed behavior.
BREAKING CHANGE: RUNTIME_SEED_* environment variables are no longer supported; use RUNTIME_SEED_JSON or RUNTIME_SEED_JSON_PATH for first-boot runtime config and provider seeding.
Remove TTS cache and upstream tuning environment variables in favor of admin-managed
runtime settings. Add new admin panel controls for TTS retry attempts, upstream timeout,
audio cache size, and cache TTL. Update API routes and TTS generation logic to consume
these runtime-configurable values, enabling live adjustment without redeploy. Update
documentation to reflect the removal of related env vars and the new admin workflow.
move TTS and PDF parsing rate limit toggles and max upload size input into a new
"Rate limiting" section in the admin panel for improved organization. update
documentation to reflect the new grouping and clarify the relationship between
these settings.
implement a generic user_job_events table for tracking compute job creation
enforce configurable burst and sustained limits for PDF layout parsing
add admin panel controls for compute rate limiting and max upload size
update API routes to apply and record rate checks for PDF parse jobs
document new environment variables and admin settings for compute limits
improve IP extraction logic for rate limiting accuracy
add tests for request IP extraction and test namespace gating
This change introduces a robust mechanism to throttle expensive compute operations, such as PDF parsing, on a per-user basis. It provides both burst and sustained rate controls, with admin-tunable parameters and clear user feedback on throttling. The job event ledger enables accurate concurrency and rate enforcement, while new documentation and tests ensure maintainability and clarity.
- Delete EditableRow from formPrimitives and its usage in AdminFeaturesPanel
- Remove EditIcon from icon set as it is no longer referenced
- Simplify AdminFeaturesPanel state and draft handling
- Update AdminProvidersPanel to use distinct query key for default provider
- Ensure query invalidation covers new default provider key
This streamlines the admin codebase by eliminating obsolete editing UI and related icon, and clarifies provider query logic.
- Remove legacy TTS rate limit environment variables and migrate all related configuration to runtime settings managed via the Admin UI
- Add runtime config keys for TTS rate limiting enable/disable and per-user/IP daily quotas
- Refactor rate limiter and API routes to use runtime config for thresholds and enablement
- Update AdminFeaturesPanel to allow editing TTS rate limiting and quota values in the UI
- Add shared-provider-selection utility for consistent provider selection logic
- Update documentation to reflect new runtime/admin configuration and remove obsolete env var docs
- Add unit tests for rate limit runtime settings and provider selection
BREAKING CHANGE: TTS rate limiting is now controlled via Admin → Site features; environment variables for TTS rate limiting are no longer supported and will be ignored.
Migrate PDF parsing to use ONNX Docling layout model for structured block extraction, enabling improved TTS segmentation and chaptering. Add compute backend abstraction for heavy tasks (alignment, layout parsing) with configuration via `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE`. Integrate block-level locators and document settings for per-document PDF parsing options. Update S3 storage for parsed PDF JSON, add migration and schema changes, and extend client and server APIs for parsed data and settings. Remove legacy word highlight flag in favor of compute capability detection.
- Add ONNX model download, local/none compute modes, and `onnxruntime-node` dependency
- Update PDF viewer and TTS pipeline to use parsed blocks and block-level locators
- Add document settings storage and APIs for per-document PDF options
- Update S3 storage layout for parsed PDF JSON
- Add admin/config/docs updates for new compute and parsing features
- Remove obsolete word highlight runtime flag and UI
BREAKING CHANGE: PDF parsing and word highlighting now require `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE=local` and ONNX model; document settings and S3 layout updated; legacy word highlight flag removed.
Introduce `enableUserSignups` runtime setting to allow administrators to control
whether new accounts can be created. Update environment variable and documentation
references to support this feature. UI elements for account creation are now
conditionally rendered based on this flag. Signup attempts are blocked server-side
when disabled, including email, OAuth, and anonymous upgrades.
Add `assertUserSignupAllowed` utility for consistent enforcement and corresponding
unit tests to verify policy behavior.
Introduce changelog feed manifest support, including client and shared
utilities for fetching and parsing changelog data. Add a new
Settings modal panel for viewing changelog entries, with version
detection based on the current app version. Expose a configurable
changelog feed URL in both environment variables and admin panel
runtime settings. Update documentation and deployment workflow to
support changelog feed generation and consumption. Include unit tests
for changelog utilities.
Update multiple UI panels to use skeleton components instead of loading text or spinners.
Standardize loading states in AudiobookExportModal, AdminFeaturesPanel, AdminProvidersPanel,
DocumentSelectionModal, and SegmentsSidebar for improved visual consistency and user feedback.
Eliminate the showAllDeepInfraModels runtime/admin config and all code paths
that allowed restricting Deepinfra's model catalog. Deepinfra now always
shows the full model list regardless of API key or environment variable.
Update documentation, environment examples, admin panels, runtime config,
provider catalog logic, and tests to reflect this change.
Move shared button, input, and listbox styles to a new formPrimitives module
used across admin panels, settings, and document settings. Update admin and
settings components to import these styles from the new location. Refactor
DocumentSelectionModal to use a direct files prop with loading and error
states, removing fetcher logic and internal fetch state. Add a custom hook
for library document queries. Clean up legacy admin/ui primitives and
standardize segmented controls and section layouts.
Adopt @tanstack/react-query for data fetching and cache management in admin
settings, provider management, shared provider hooks, and context providers.
Replace legacy useState/useEffect data loading with react-query's useQuery and
useMutation patterns. Refactor document, rate-limit, and shared provider
contexts to use query keys and cache invalidation for consistent state across
the app. Add QueryClientProvider to root providers. Update package.json to
include react-query dependency.
Transition all TTS-related logic, types, and UI to use the new providerRef/providerType model in place of legacy ttsProvider fields. Introduce a centralized tts-provider-policy module to encapsulate provider/model capability checks, default value resolution, and compatibility logic. Update all API routes, contexts, hooks, components, and tests to use providerRef and providerType, ensuring consistent handling of built-in and shared TTS providers. Remove legacy defaultTtsModel config in favor of per-provider defaults and shared provider admin control. Add the showAllProviderModels runtime flag to restrict users to provider default models when desired.
BREAKING CHANGE: ttsProvider fields are replaced by providerRef/providerType throughout the codebase; defaultTtsModel config is removed in favor of per-provider defaults.
Add database-backed runtime configuration for feature flags and TTS provider credentials, editable via a new admin UI panel. Replace static NEXT_PUBLIC_* and TTS provider env vars with admin-managed settings stored in the database and injected at SSR for client access. Implement admin-only panels for managing shared TTS provider credentials (with encrypted API keys) and live site feature flags. Add schema migrations, API routes, React contexts, and hooks for SSR-injected runtime config and live updates. Update client and server logic to resolve configuration from the database at runtime, enforcing admin restrictions and supporting migration from legacy env-based config.
BREAKING CHANGE: Feature flags and TTS provider credentials are now managed at runtime via the admin UI. Environment variables are only used for initial seeding and are ignored after first boot. Existing deployments must migrate configuration to the admin panel.
