New Features

🔹 PII Detection and Removal with MS Presidio

🔹 Updated Citation Format for SWIRL's RAG Results

🔹 SWIRL AI Connect has been validated on Python 3.12.5.

Improvements

🔹 Resolved a problem with the PATCH option at the Django endpoints

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.

Upgrading

⚠️ Version 3.8 requires database migration. See Upgrading SWIRL.
