chore: changelog (#29107)

* chore: add changelog entries for 0.11.2

Documents the commits landed on dev after the 0.11.1 changelog entry. Added covers the richer terminal file previews with page thumbnails, the reduced per-message overhead on deployments without pipelines, more room in file previews on touch screens, and the wider accessibility coverage. Fixed covers twelve user-facing corrections, among them stalled streaming on reasoning models, post-tool-call thinking leaking into replies, banners with underlined text failing to render, pinned models carrying the previous model's tools, disabled admin models, skill-mention text loss, and the workspace Knowledge list staying empty. Changed records the rename of High Contrast Mode to Accessibility Mode. Also records the Polish, Simplified Chinese, German, Catalan, and Portuguese (Brazil) translation updates. Issue template, pull request template, Docker workflow and locale catalog regeneration edits are omitted as they are not user-facing.

* chore: add the Redis Cluster stop and Valves overflow entries to 0.11.2

Documents the two user-facing commits landed on dev since the previous
changelog entry. Fixed gains the Redis Cluster stop signal, where the stop
button did not take effect when the request landed on a different instance
than the one streaming the reply, placed with the streaming and thinking
entries it shares a domain with; and the Valves dialog overflow, where a
valve with a long line of selected options stretched its input past the
edge of the dialog and over the page behind it, placed with the narrow
screen layout entry.

The section date moves to 2026-08-29 to cover the newer commits. The issue
and pull request template wording and the German locale catalog are omitted,
the former as contributor-facing rather than user-facing, the latter as
German is already named in the translation entry.

* chore: add the recurring calendar event entries to 0.11.2

Documents the calendar recurrence changes landed on dev after the previous
changelog commit. Fixed records repeating events working out their occurrences
from their own date and time rather than from a start date carried inside the
repeat rule, which could place them on the wrong weekday or hour. Changed
records the new limit refusing events that repeat more often than once a day.
The EXRULE handling and the timezone resolution rewrite are omitted: both reach
the same user-visible outcome as before, only by a clearer route.

* chore: add the security advisory notice to 0.11.2

Adds the standard advisory notice as the first item in the Fixed section. The
calendar recurrence work landed on dev under an unmarked commit message and
bounds the occurrences a single stored event can force the server to walk, so
the release carries a fix whose details are not spelled out in the entries
below it. The notice is the fixed wording and takes no reference links of its
own; the individual entries keep theirs.

* chore: add the structured output crash entry to 0.11.2

Fixed records the conversation that failed in the browser and stopped showing
the assistant reply until a reload, together with the recovery of chats already
saved in that state. It sits directly below the advisory notice as the most
disruptive correction in the section. The Irish catalog update joins the
translation entry; the Portuguese (Brazil) pass needs no change there, as that
language is already named.

* chore: add the dropdown, SQLite search and tool server entries to 0.11.2

Fixed gains the dropdown that opened past the edge of a narrow screen and the
dropdown list that ignored the interface theme, kept together as one group, plus
case-insensitive matching for accented and non-Latin text on SQLite installs,
placed beside the existing SQLite entry, and the tool server connection that was
sent an empty authorization header when saved without a key.

The advisory notice already stands at the top of the section, so the unmarked
backend commit needs no further flag there.

* chore: add the chat reload entry to 0.11.2

Fixed records the conversation that reloaded itself whenever any response in it
finished while an older unfinished reply sat in the history, now narrowed to the
reply the update concerns. It joins the response lifecycle group below the stop
entry. The commit carries no pull request or issue, so it is referenced by
commit.

* chore: add the interface font and touch resize entries to 0.11.2

Added gains the font family field in Interface settings, which applies a locally
installed font across the interface and falls back to the standard font when
cleared, and the side panel divider that can now be dragged by touch or stylus
while a mouse drag keeps tracking beyond the window edge. Both sit above the
reserved accessibility, general improvements and translation entries, with the
touch entry beside the existing touch screen one.

Each aspect of the font setting arrived in a single commit, so it is recorded as
one entry with no separate note for its configurability.

* chore: add the automation schedule and model registry entries to 0.11.2

Added records the model list refresh that no longer has every worker rewrite the
whole list to the shared cache when nothing changed, placed beside the existing
performance entry.

Fixed records the two automation schedule defects from the same pull request as
separate entries, because the symptoms differ: a counted schedule shown as a
single run and rewritten to one on save, and a schedule carrying a start date
losing its weekly or monthly setting and printing raw rule text in the list.
Both join the scheduling group below the recurring event entry.

* chore: extend the touch resize entry to the main sidebar

The sidebar divider received the same pointer handling the side panel dividers
got, so the existing entry now names the sidebar and carries both commits rather
than repeating itself as a second entry. The follow-up that moved the divider
border to the matching edge is listed with them, being a further correction to
the same divider and too small to record on its own.

* chore: record the preview focus and caveat changes in 0.11.2

Fixed gains the arrow keys that paged an open document or slide preview from
anywhere on the page, which also took those keys away from the field being typed
in, now confined to the focused preview.

The richer previews entry absorbs the removal of the notice warning that a
preview might differ from the download, the caveat having gone with the
approximation it described, and the accessibility entry absorbs the previews
becoming reachable by keyboard and announcing themselves. Neither warranted an
entry of its own, both being continuations of work already recorded.

+## [0.11.2] - 2026-08-29
+
+### Added
+
+- 🖼️ **Richer previews for terminal files.** Word documents and slide decks produced in the terminal are now previewed as the finished document rather than an approximation, and every document preview gains a page strip down the side with numbered thumbnails you can click to jump straight to a page, and the notice warning that a preview might differ from the download is gone now that it does not. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/061fb434328ea8365cc4961519e8adbe5ac7b0c1), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/9d95a0148b3180ba48186bc6928713f969a69047), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/ae549d3e4af672a63a809e8fe2a6c91e0bfc1067), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/78d8c9166f1b6626b9aa559a812183ce216eef4f), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/492ccf3ac0d9aec1f3f2bc6825a3e6d3b32aa0d1)
+- ⚡ **Less overhead on every message.** Deployments without pipelines configured, which is the default, no longer pay setup work for them on each chat message and background task. [#29146](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29146)
+- 🏎️ **Lighter model list refreshes.** On deployments running several workers, a refresh that finds the model list unchanged no longer has every worker rewrite the whole list to the shared cache, cutting the work and the traffic each refresh costs. [#29264](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29264)
+- 🤏 **More room in file previews on touch screens.** File previews on phones and tablets no longer show zoom buttons that sit over an already small preview, leaving pinch to zoom to do the job. [#29176](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29176), [#29152](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29152)
+- 👆 **Resizing panels by touch.** The divider beside the main sidebar or a side panel can now be dragged on a touchscreen or with a stylus, and a drag made with the mouse keeps following the pointer when it leaves the window. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/cfa2d25317b426c80dca43829afbf113eeccc365), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/f0ffa7508e75946434794941378675e0c7151eae), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/e250be48ee16d71202651e4109a175910a6519bb)
+- 🔤 **Choice of interface font.** Interface settings now offer a font family field where you can name a font installed on your computer and watch it apply across the interface as you type, with an empty field returning to the standard font. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/b9765fe97943831e17a68490cd01c70a6ccf1c43)
+- ♿ **Wider accessibility mode coverage.** Accessibility mode now lifts the contrast of more of the interface, including muted text, table text, icons, the colours elements change to on hover, and the highlight behind sidebar and menu items you point at, so low-contrast areas meet the level the accessibility guidelines ask for in both light and dark themes, and the close button on the folder dialog now announces itself to screen readers, as do document and slide previews, which can now be reached with the keyboard.

+- 🔄 **General improvements.** Various improvements were implemented across the application to enhance performance, stability, and security.
+- 🌐 **Translation updates.** Translations for Polish, Simplified Chinese, German, Irish, Catalan, and Portuguese (Brazil) were enhanced and expanded.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- 🛡️ **Security Advisory**: This release includes security and access-control fixes. We recommend updating production deployments at your earliest convenience. Not all security fixes in this version may be enumerated in the fixed section. Some may be withheld for a short time to give administrators time to upgrade. [Advisories](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/security)
+- 💥 **Replies stop breaking mid-chat.** A conversation no longer fails in the browser and stops showing the assistant reply until you reload, and chats already saved in that state display and can be edited again. [#29250](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29250), [#29244](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29244)
+- ⌨️ **Preview shortcuts stay in the preview.** Arrow keys now page a document or slide preview only while that preview has focus, instead of paging it from anywhere on the page and taking the arrow keys away from whatever you were typing in. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/b356b80f8c86d110951301b83607de245b4ef6cc), [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/e4694f82ebd2e916c099e5e921c0ca8445ba88a7)
+- 🧊 **Streaming no longer stalls on reasoning models.** A reply from a reasoning model now streams through to the end instead of showing its first few words and then freezing until generation finishes. [#29053](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29053), [#29035](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29035)
+- 💭 **Thinking stays in Thoughts.** After a model uses a tool, its reasoning for the next step now appears in the collapsed Thoughts section instead of being written into the reply as ordinary text. [#29052](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29052), [#29040](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29040)
+- 🛑 **Stop works across instances.** Stopping a response now takes effect on deployments that spread people across several instances backed by a Redis cluster, instead of the reply continuing to the end regardless. [#29165](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29165), [#19840](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/19840)
+- 🎯 **Fewer needless chat reloads.** A conversation holding an older unfinished reply no longer reloads itself each time some other response in it finishes, reloading only for the reply the update actually concerns. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/22379ded1aebf0537e1ee3f00a20809d47646bf6)
+- 📖 **Banners with underlined text.** A banner containing underlined text now displays instead of failing to render. [#29118](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29118), [#29115](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29115)
+- 🧰 **Pinned models start with their own tools.** Starting a chat from a pinned model in the sidebar now applies that model's tools and skills instead of carrying over the ones from the model you used last. [#29058](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29058), [#29050](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29050)
+- 🚫 **Disabled models no longer vanish.** Turning a model off in the admin Models list now keeps it in view so you can turn it back on, instead of it disappearing with no way to recover it. [#29037](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29037), [#29036](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29036)
+- ✂️ **Message text kept intact.** Text containing angle brackets and a dollar sign is no longer mistaken for a skill mention and silently removed before your message reaches the model. [#29051](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29051), [#29041](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29041)
+- 📆 **Moved calendar events stay visible.** Changing an event's date no longer makes it disappear from the calendar, and events already stuck in that state show up again. [#29085](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29085), [#29067](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29067)
+- 🔁 **Repeats follow the event.** A repeating event now works out its occurrences from its own date and time, where a repeat rule carrying a start date of its own could place them on the wrong weekday or at the wrong hour. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/a93c5080380447e3ab9113cacb73b61c57cbc308)
+- 🔟 **Repeating automations keep their count.** An automation set to run a fixed number of times is no longer shown as running once and quietly rewritten to a single run the next time you open and save it. [#29263](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29263)
+- 🗓️ **Schedules survive a save.** An automation carrying a start date now shows its real schedule in the list and keeps its weekly or monthly setting when saved, instead of showing raw rule text and falling back to daily. [#29263](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29263)
+- 🔢 **Accurate admin user counts.** The counts on the admin Users tabs now follow your search and reset when you switch tabs, instead of showing stale or unfiltered numbers. [#29080](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29080), [#29079](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29079)
+- 📱 **Readable model list on small screens.** The model identifier and timestamp in the workspace model list no longer overlap the model name on narrow displays. [#29084](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29084), [#29083](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29083)
+- 📲 **Dropdowns stay on screen.** A dropdown near the edge of a narrow screen now shifts inward to stay fully visible instead of opening past the edge with its option labels cut off. [#29226](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29226), [#29225](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29225)
+- 🌗 **Dropdown lists follow the theme.** The list a dropdown opens now takes its light or dark colouring from the rest of the interface instead of the system default. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/58a3fadbf336029733d6e5fdde05fd5a24e656fa)
+- 🎛️ **Valves dialog stays in bounds.** A valve whose selected options form a long line no longer stretches its input past the edge of the dialog and over the page behind it. [#29203](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29203), [#29202](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29202)
+- 🧹 **Shared chats search resets.** Reopening the shared chats dialog now starts with an empty search box and the full list, rather than a leftover search term above unfiltered results. [#29082](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29082), [#29081](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/29081)
+- 🔎 **Case-insensitive search beyond English.** Searching and filtering by tag now ignore letter case for accented and non-Latin text on installations backed by SQLite, where only unaccented English letters were matched whatever their case. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/26f37426b7ef6c0c3b1363f413ac9a83ccaaeb71)
+- 🔑 **Precise account matching on SQLite.** Signing in through an identity provider now matches your account on its exact identifier, so accounts whose identifier is an unusually long or zero-padded number are no longer at risk of being confused with another. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/17cc566707cd2ee78b460e39c7fad23b9c258c70)
+- 🗃️ **Knowledge list loads reliably.** The Knowledge page in the workspace now fills in its list on opening instead of occasionally staying empty. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/e6031ea6daec897eddbcf0c8b03c2d6fad2b506e)
+- 🎟️ **Tool servers without a key.** A tool server connection saved without a key is no longer sent an empty authorization header, which some servers refused outright. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/26f37426b7ef6c0c3b1363f413ac9a83ccaaeb71)
+
+### Changed
+
+- ⏱️ **Daily limit on repeats.** A calendar event can no longer be set to repeat more often than once a day, and saving one that repeats more often is now refused with a message explaining the limit. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/a93c5080380447e3ab9113cacb73b61c57cbc308)
+- 🏷️ **High Contrast Mode is now Accessibility Mode.** The interface setting previously called 'High Contrast Mode' is now called 'Accessibility Mode', with the same switch in the same place. [Commit](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/commit/e6031ea6daec897eddbcf0c8b03c2d6fad2b506e)

 ## [0.11.1] - 2026-08-25
 
 ### Added
