🔹 Pip requirements are now frozen on the main branch for releases (addresses Issue #912).

Resolved Issues
🔹 Back button behavior with RAG processing was improved.
🔹 Addressed an issue in the version checker.
🔹 Resolved an issue with some RequestsPost searches returning 500 errors.
🔹 The Galaxy UI was updated to better handle an empty results set returned from some sources.
🔹 The Galaxy UI now displays ChatGPT SearchProvider results in the main results list.
🔹 The "Generate AI Response" option in the Galaxy UI is disabled until the full set of search results have returned.
🔹 Addressd a regression with search re-run functionality in the Galaxy UI.
Known Issues
🔹 Clicking a Microsoft Teams result sometimes results in this error from the Teams app.
We cannot take you to that message because it's in a chat you're not in.
For Teams links to resolve correctly, you must have the Microsoft Teams app open before clicking the result link.
🔹 Creating searches from a browser with q= can sometimes create two Search objects.
This is because of browser prefetch AKA predictive service. Turn off Chrome prediction service. Turn off Safari prefetch.
Please report any issues with this to support.
