Update landing page descriptions to emphasize native file rendering and
layout-aware parsing. Adjust Docker quick start instructions to remove
redundant volume mount and highlight required environment variables for
self-hosting.
Eliminate all code paths, configuration, and documentation related to running
without authentication. Require AUTH_SECRET and BASE_URL at startup, updating
middleware, server logic, and runtime checks to assume auth is always enabled.
Simplify onboarding, settings, and test helpers to reflect mandatory auth.
Update environment examples, Docker and deployment docs, and CI/test configs.
Remove no-auth-specific UI flows, test cases, and feature toggles.
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.
Replace Redis and BullMQ with NATS JetStream and KV for job queuing and state management
in the compute worker service. Update environment variables, Docker Compose, and documentation
to reflect the new message queue backend. Adjust dependencies and code to use NATS-based
work queue and key-value storage for durable job processing.
This change improves scalability and reliability of distributed compute workloads by leveraging
NATS JetStream's work queue and persistence features. Documentation and configuration examples
are updated to guide deployments using the new backend.
Introduce support for external compute worker mode (`COMPUTE_MODE=worker`) using a new `WorkerComputeBackend`. This enables offloading heavy ONNX Whisper alignment and PDF layout parsing to a standalone worker service (Redis + BullMQ), improving scalability and compatibility with serverless/limited environments.
- Add `@openreader/compute-core` as a shared package for ONNX inference and PDF parsing logic.
- Implement `WorkerComputeBackend` and worker contract/types for remote job execution.
- Update compute backend selection logic and remove previous worker mode guards.
- Extend `WhisperAlignInput` and `PdfLayoutInput` types to support object keys for remote data access.
- Refactor local compute backend to use `@openreader/compute-core` and support both buffer and object key inputs.
- Update job runner, TTS segment alignment, and PDF layout parsing flows to use new compute backend APIs.
- Add scripts, Docker workflow, and documentation for deploying and running the compute worker.
- Update environment variable docs and examples for worker mode, including storage requirements and configuration.
- Document published images and stack changes to reflect the new compute worker architecture.
BREAKING CHANGE: `COMPUTE_MODE=worker` now requires an external compute worker service and S3-compatible object storage. Embedded SeaweedFS (`weed mini`) is not supported in worker mode. See the new documentation for deployment and configuration details.
- Replace `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE` and related variables with `COMPUTE_MODE`
- Replace `OPENREADER_*` PDF/Whisper model URLs with `PDF_LAYOUT_MODEL_BASE_URL` and `WHISPER_MODEL_BASE_URL`
- Remove legacy `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` runtime config seeds in favor of `RUNTIME_SEED_*`
- Update documentation, code, and environment references to match new variable names
- Remove deprecated `scripts/fetch-models.mjs` and related npm script
- Update runtime config SSR injection from `window.__OPENREADER_RUNTIME_CONFIG__` to `window.__RUNTIME_CONFIG__`
- Adjust Next.js config to use new compute mode env var and optimize output file tracing for ONNX dependencies
BREAKING CHANGE: Environment variable names for compute mode, model URLs, and runtime config seeding have changed. Update `.env` files and deployment configs to use `COMPUTE_MODE`, `PDF_LAYOUT_MODEL_BASE_URL`, `WHISPER_MODEL_BASE_URL`, and `RUNTIME_SEED_*` as appropriate. Legacy `OPENREADER_*` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` variables are no longer supported.
Add a dedicated Admin Panel documentation page detailing management of shared TTS providers and site features via the admin UI. Update all TTS provider guides, environment variable references, and deployment docs to clarify the new runtime configuration model: environment variables serve as first-boot seeds only, with ongoing management handled through the admin interface. Revise sidebars and cross-links to include the new admin panel docs and clarify the distinction between legacy env-based and admin-managed configuration.
Expand and clarify documentation for TTS segment storage, including key layout, cleanup, and CLI access in object storage. Add details on the `tts_segments` schema and migration process. Revise local development and Docker quick start guides with improved prerequisites, platform-specific setup instructions, and updated TTS provider references. Document new usage of `AUTH_SECRET` for TTS segment text fingerprinting.
Document observed S3 `InternalError` regressions with SeaweedFS 4.19 in
object storage, local development, and Docker quick start guides. Clarify that
version 4.18 is pinned in CI and Docker builds for reliability while
compatibility is investigated.
- Updated environment variables documentation to include Replicate as a TTS provider option.
- Added Replicate to the sidebar for TTS provider guides.
- Included Replicate as a dependency in package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml.
- Enhanced audiobook chapter generation to normalize native speed settings based on the TTS provider.
- Improved error handling in TTS API routes to provide retry information for rate-limited responses.
- Updated AudiobookExportModal to reflect native speed support for Replicate models.
- Modified SettingsModal to set default model for Replicate.
- Enhanced SpeedControl component to conditionally render native speed controls based on provider support.
- Updated TTSContext to utilize effective native speed for TTS requests.
- Implemented Replicate request handling in the TTS generation logic.
- Added new documentation for configuring Replicate as a TTS provider.
Implement a check for GitHub OAuth credentials to conditionally render
the GitHub sign-in button. This ensures the UI accurately reflects
available authentication methods based on environment configuration.
- Add `isGithubAuthEnabled` utility to verify server-side credentials
- Propagate GitHub auth status through context providers to the UI
- Conditionally display the GitHub sign-in button in the sign-in page
- Update documentation and examples to use hex encoding for `AUTH_SECRET`
- Add unit tests for the new GitHub authentication configuration logic
Implement AbortController in ConfigContext, PDFContext, and preference sync to prevent race conditions during session changes or rapid navigation. Refactor document preview routes into shared utilities and add LRU caching for text previews to optimize memory. Update documentation for Better Auth schema ownership and migration workflows. Fix issues with Postgres system user seeding and better-sqlite3 configuration.
