Welcome to the 0.28.0 release of Karakeep! We've have hit 20k stars on Github 🎉 (well 21k because I was too late with the release)! Thanks a lot for your support throughout this journey! This release brings a refreshed import pipeline, uploading custom attachments, revamped tags page, inline checklists, and a bunch of quality-of-life touches across the web app, extension and mobile app. Huge thanks to @BOTkirial, @qixing-jk, @@maya-doshi, @BenjaminMichaelis, @cloudchristoph, @claytono, as usual @xuatz and everyone who shipped code, triaged bugs, or shared feedback for this release.
If you enjoy using Karakeep, consider supporting the project here ☕️ or via GitHub here.
And in case you missed it, we now have a ☁️ managed offering ☁️ for those who don't want to self-host. We're still in private beta (you can signup for access here) and gradually letting more and more users in.

Webhook requests now go through the proxy if there's one configured
All server-initiated requests (including webhooks) to internal IP addresses are now blocked by default unless explicitly allowed via CRAWLER_ALLOWED_INTERNAL_HOSTNAMES. If your webhooks are hitting internal services, you'll have to allowlist them via CRAWLER_ALLOWED_INTERNAL_HOSTNAMES.

Allow karakeep to use newer openai models that was previously failing because of deprecated max_tokens (#2000) - @BenjaminMichaelis
