Open WebUI 0.9.4 ships scroll fix, async health checks

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Open WebUI

Open WebUI released 0.9.4 with a scroll fix and asynchronous database pings for health checks, while two privilege escalations were closed.

Open WebUI released 0.9.4, bundling a scroll fix and the changes from 0.9.3 [1], including an asynchronous database ping for health checks that stops blocking the event loop, and a fix that prevents speech-to-text from blocking the uvicorn event loop [1]. The release notes describe the version as "fix: bump to 0.9.4, changelog for scroll fix" [2].

Two privilege escalations were closed. The previously unauthenticated GET /api/v1/retrieval/ status endpoint was removed; it returned the live RAG pipeline configuration (CHUNK_SIZE, RAG_TEMPLATE, RAG_EMBEDDING_ENGINE, etc.) without authentication, while every adjacent endpoint requires an admin [3]. Also, the calendar router now gates public sharing behind the sharing.public_calendars permission, preventing a verified non-admin owner from attaching a wildcard user grant to make calendars publicly shareable [4].
