Deprecated

• BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY MAINTAINED: The following APIs are deprecated and will be removed in version 2.0.0:
  • ChatResponseType enum - Use isinstance() checks with specific response classes instead
  • ChatResponse.type property - Use isinstance() checks instead
  • ChatResponse.as_text() method - Use isinstance(response, TextResponse) instead
  • ChatResponse.as_reference() method - Use isinstance(response, ReferenceResponse) instead
  • ChatResponse.as_state_update() method - Use isinstance(response, StateUpdateResponse) instead
  • ChatResponse.as_conversation_id() method - Use isinstance(response, ConversationIdResponse) instead
    All deprecated APIs emit DeprecationWarning when used and remain fully functional for backward compatibility.
    Migration Example:

# Old (deprecated but still works):
if response.type == ChatResponseType.TEXT:
    print(response.as_text())
# New (recommended):
if isinstance(response, TextResponse):
    print(response.content.text)

🔐 Authentication, Agent Power-Ups, and Performance Boosts

This release strengthens authentication end-to-end, levels up agent capabilities and tracing, streamlines the UI and developer experience, and delivers faster startup via smarter lazy loading—plus important fixes.

✨ Key Features & Highlights

Agents

• Agents in CLI: Run and manage agents directly from the command line for faster iteration.
• Force Tool Calling: Option to require specific tool invocation when needed.
• Tool Call Tracing: Detailed tracing of tool calls within agents for better observability.
• PydanticAI Agents Support: Added compatibility layer to run PydanticAI-based agents inside Ragbits.
• AgentDependencies in AgentRunContext: Cleaner dependency injection and state handling inside agent runs.

Authentication

• Backend Authentication in Chat: Secure backend-authenticated sessions integrated into chat flows.
• UI Auth Token Storage: Persist and reuse auth tokens on the client for smoother sessions.
• Initial UI Auth Plugin: Pluggable authentication module to customize UI auth strategies.
• Standardized Chat Typing System: Unified types across chat components for safer, consistent integrations.
• Tutorials & How-To: New Ragbits-chat guides to get started quickly with authenticated apps.

UI Enhancements

• Persistent User Settings v2: More robust and reliable settings persistence across sessions.
• Usage Component: Built-in UI to display token/usage and resource consumption.
• Clear Message Event: Programmatic event to clear messages and reset conversations.
• Page Title & Favicon: Easy branding and customization options for the application shell.

Vector Stores

• PgVector Large Vectors: Support for vectors exceeding 2,000 length, enabling larger embeddings and models.

Ragbits Document Search

• PPTX Parser: Native support for ingesting and parsing PowerPoint (.pptx) documents.

Developer Experience & Evaluate

• Autogenerated TypeScript Types: Automatic TS types generation to keep clients in sync with server contracts.
• Automated UI Build System: Streamlined UI builds for faster, more reliable packaging.
• Evaluator Parallel Batches (Optional): ragbits.evaluate.Evaluator can execute batches in parallel for speedups.

Performance

• Improved LiteLLM Lazy Loading: Significant load-time optimizations for faster app responsiveness.
• General Lazy Loading: Reduced startup time by deferring non-critical imports and initializations.

Bug Fixes & Stability

• Resolved UI build issues causing packaging failures.
• Fixed infinite initialization loop under certain startup conditions.
• Addressed disappearing history and ChatOptions sending message issues.
• Eliminated excessive LiteLLM logging noise.
• Prevented prompts from consuming the same iterator twice.
