sourcebot-dev/sourcebot v5.0.0 on GitHub

Checkout the migration guide for details on upgrading your instance to v5.

[Breaking Change] Changed the default role assignment to Owner for organizations on the free tier. See the v4 to v5 guide. #1106
[Breaking Change] Relicensed Ask Sourcebot and MCP under ee. See the v4 to v5 guide. #1106
[Breaking Change] Removed the embedded Postgres and Redis from the Docker image. External Postgres and Redis are now required: set DATABASE_URL and REDIS_URL, or deploy with the provided docker-compose.yml. See the v4 to v5 guide. #1106
[Breaking Change] Sourcebot no longer auto-generates AUTH_SECRET and SOURCEBOT_ENCRYPTION_KEY, nor reads them from the plaintext files it previously wrote to the data volume; both must now be set explicitly as environment variables. See the v4 to v5 guide. #1106
Redesigned the app layout with a new collapsible sidebar navigation, replacing the previous top navigation bar. #1106
Expired offline license keys no longer crash the process. An expired key now degrades to the unlicensed state. #1106
Improved the setup-sourcebot wizard: prompts for a setup directory, clarifies that secrets are stored locally in .env, switches multi-select to Tab, hides "No results" until a real search runs, and detects/cleans up conflicting Docker deployments and volumes before starting. #1106

Added ask connectors: connect 3rd party MCP servers to your ask agent. #1106
Added progress bar when navigating between pages. #1106
Added a integrated changelog into the sidebar. #1106
Added scroll position restoration when viewing files in the code browser, so returning to a previously viewed file restores your scroll position. #1106

Fixed git "dubious ownership" errors when the container runs as a non-root user by setting safe.directory at the system level instead of the global (root-only) level. #1106
