OmniClip RAG v0.4.3 Release Notes
Release Focus
v0.4.3 is the release that turns the recent hotfix train into a coherent public version.
The goal of this version is not to bolt on another big subsystem. The goal is to make the current desktop app, semantic retrieval stack, download/runtime flows, MCP shell, and release packaging line behave like one honest product surface.
Highlights
- Semantic retrieval state is now explicit instead of silently misleading:
- disabled semantic backend is surfaced as disabled
- missing semantic vector tables are surfaced as rebuild-required
- MCP degraded-mode payloads now match the desktop truth
- Automatic model and reranker downloads now follow the active data root end to end:
- target directory
- HF cache root
- download logs
- delete-model actions
- Automatic download visibility is much stronger:
- dedicated worker process
- visible terminal output
- heartbeat progress lines
- China-first source chain:
ModelScope -> HF mirror -> Hugging Face official
- The formal MCP release chain is back inside the repository:
OmniClipRAG-MCP.spec is now part of source control againbuild.py can rebuild the GUI ZIP, MCP ZIP, and .mcpb from one version source of truth
- Public-doc hygiene was tightened before release:
- tracked personal absolute paths were sanitized out of release-facing documentation
Release Assets
v0.4.3 is designed to ship three release assets:
OmniClipRAG-v0.4.3-win64.zip
OmniClipRAG-MCP-v0.4.3-win64.zip
- manual MCP package for direct
stdio setup
omniclip-rag-mcp-win-x64-v0.4.3.mcpb
- MCPB package for the official MCP Registry line
MCP Registry Status
This release refreshes the Registry metadata and the .mcpb package line for v0.4.3.
The actual Registry publish should still happen only after the final .mcpb asset has been uploaded to the public GitHub Release for v0.4.3.
Notes
- The MCP line remains read-only.
- V1 remains stdio-only and tools-only.
- Environment switching still remains a controlled restart workflow.
