Release Notes - v1.0.3

Release Date: 2026-04-24
Changes: v1.0.3 → main

Summary

Cognee 1.0.3 is a small but impactful update focused on reliability, search quality, and usability. This release fixes several memory duplication and indexing issues, improves search relevance and performance, and polishes the user interface for a smoother experience.

Highlights

• Faster and more accurate memory search results
• Fixes for duplicate memories and indexing crashes
• Cleaner UI feedback and more informative error messages

Breaking Changes

• No breaking changes in this release. Upgrading is safe for production environments. If you use a custom backup or export integration, confirm your import paths still parse the improved CSV format (the format is backwards-compatible in typical cases).

New Features

• Improved search ranking: Relevance scoring has been refined so the most useful memories appear higher in results — especially for short or ambiguous queries.
• Export improvements: You can now export memory lists as CSV with improved formatting and consistent timestamps, making sharing and backups easier.
• Session trimming control: A small user setting allows you to keep recent session memories while trimming older, lower-value items automatically.

Improvements

• Significantly reduced search latency for typical queries, so results appear faster during active sessions.
• Better deduplication during ingestion — the system now more reliably avoids creating duplicate memories when similar content is added repeatedly.
• UI messaging improvements: clearer success/failure messages and progress indicators when indexing or exporting memory.
• Reduced memory footprint and CPU usage during background indexing operations.
• More helpful authentication error messages that explain what to do next (e.g., re-login or check permissions).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where identical or near-identical memories could be created multiple times under certain conditions.
• Resolved rare crashes during large-batch indexing that could interrupt background processing.
• Fixed tokenization bug that caused some short queries to return empty or irrelevant results.
• Addressed a problem where exported CSV files occasionally contained malformed timestamps.
• Fixed a UI edge-case causing progress bars to stall when an indexing step retried several times.
• Resolved an issue causing attachments with empty metadata to fail ingestion.

Technical Changes

• Refactored storage/indexing internals to improve stability and future scalability (internal change only, no action required).
• Updated several third-party libraries to address security and performance issues.
• Telemetry subsystem updated: added an opt-out flag and reduced telemetry volume for normal operation.
