tag:github.com,2008:https://github.com/schmitech/orbit/releasesRelease notes from orbit2026-03-18T16:51:22Ztag:github.com,2008:Repository/945716672/v2.6.32026-03-20T19:11:41Zv2.6.3<h2>[2.6.3] - 2026-03-19</h2>
<h3>Core System Updates</h3>
<ul>
<li>Admin: Search filters for API keys and personas, persona creation in right panel, editable API key metadata, notes length 1000 characters</li>
<li>Vision: Added <code>ollama_cloud</code> vision provider (qwen3.5) with config, service, and registry integration</li>
<li>Retriever lifecycle: Fixed premature close of shared embedding services (avoids stale clients and unnecessary reinitialization)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Chat-app & UI Improvements</h3>
<ul>
<li>orbitchat v3.5.6: Sidebar UX (time-grouped conversations, markdown previews, keyboard navigation, ARIA, search feedback, auto-scroll, filtering); layout width 48rem→64rem; consolidated thread/actions row; scrollable table containers; minor theme/styling polish</li>
<li>Charts: Premium ChartRenderer (custom tooltips, click-to-toggle legend, SVG gradients, animations, donut pie, skeleton/error states, ARIA); cross-model rendering fixes (series <code>dataKey</code>→<code>key</code>, xKey reconciliation, multi-line JSON); Anthropic system messages via top-level <code>system</code>; model-agnostic chart instructions and test prompt updates</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bug Fixes & Technical Improvements</h3>
<ul>
<li>Embedding client: Fixed closed detection in SQL/HTTP intent retriever bases so session-based providers (Voyage, OpenRouter) no longer trigger unnecessary reinitialization; check session/session_manager before client</li>
<li>Intent SQL: Fixed year-like template parameter extraction (integer fallback) so explicit years bind correctly; regression test for domain extraction (e.g. Edmonton weekend vs weekday path)</li>
</ul>
<h3>API & Client Updates</h3>
<ul>
<li>orbitchat v3.5.6: Published NPM package</li>
</ul>
<h3>Documentation & Configuration</h3>
