OmniClip RAG v0.4.8 Release Notes

Release Focus

v0.4.8 is the startup responsiveness and extension-source removal release.

This version keeps the current Runtime, Markdown, PDF, Tika, and MCP product lines intact, but closes two high-friction desktop issues that were still visible in normal use. First, packaged Windows builds no longer let heavy Runtime-management refreshes and extension-source summary rebuilds block the first paint of the main window. Second, the 拓展格式 > PDF / Tika source-directory danger action now behaves like a real source removal flow instead of a half-step index cleanup: it clears the matching extension index/state data and then removes the source directory from the extension registry, while still never touching the user's original files.

Highlights

• Packaged GUI startup now prioritizes first paint before background Runtime-management and extension-summary refresh work.
• Runtime-management state and extension-source summaries are now filled in asynchronously after the shell appears instead of blocking the main thread during startup replay.
• The PDF/Tika row-level danger action is now a true remove-source action rather than a “clear index only” action.
• Removing an extension source now:
  • clears the matching extension index/state data
  • removes the source directory from the extension registry/UI list
  • keeps the original external files untouched
• Cancelled source-delete tasks no longer accidentally drop the source from the extension registry.

Release Assets

v0.4.8 keeps the same three public release asset forms:

• OmniClipRAG-v0.4.8-win64.zip
  • desktop GUI package
• OmniClipRAG-MCP-v0.4.8-win64.zip
  • manual MCP package for direct stdio setup
• omniclip-rag-mcp-win-x64-v0.4.8.mcpb
  • MCPB package for the official MCP Registry line

MCP / Registry Note

This release does not widen the MCP tool surface and does not change query semantics.

What changes is release-line consistency:

• desktop, MCP ZIP, and MCPB assets now line up on one v0.4.8 version line
• local setup examples now point at the v0.4.8 executable paths
• the project metadata line is internally consistent again, including pyproject.toml

Notes

• This release does not change Runtime installation contracts.
• It does not change Markdown/PDF/Tika retrieval semantics.
• It does not delete user source folders when removing an extension source directory.
• The scope stays intentionally narrow: improve startup responsiveness and complete the PDF/Tika source-removal UX without widening product surface area.
