New features

Tenant tokens

We released one of the features most requested by our users: tenant tokens. (#2096) @ManyTheFish

Tenant tokens allow developers to restrict access to documents depending on the end-user making the search request, effectively enabling multi-tenant indexes.

A tenant token is a JWT. It must be generated by combining an API key with a set of permissions and rules the developer wishes to apply to an end user's search.

For more information on tenant tokens, read our dedicated guide.

Auto-batching (experimental)

This version includes the auto-batching feature. (#2005) @MarinPostma

Auto-batching improves indexing speed by batching together consecutive document additions.

Here is a simple way to use it:

meilisearch --enable-auto-batching

This is an experimental feature. Based on user feedback, it might be completely reworked or outright removed in a future release.

You can read more about how to use auto-batching in this discussion.
