paperless-ngx v3.0.3 released on 25-07-2026
paperless-ngx v3.0.3 is out now. Self-hosters and administrators get a set of stability and maintenance fixes that improve PDF exports, email parsing and general robustness.
Visit the project’s GitHub release page and the migration guide for full details and any upgrade instructions before you update.
What’s in this release
- Gotenberg PDF conversion now preserves document fields and metadata during conversion, preventing loss of document data when exporting to PDF.
- Email parsing makes dates timezone-aware as early as possible to avoid naive-datetime issues, and Celery traceback handling was made more robust to accept plain-string tracebacks.
- Stability and UI fixes: corrected PAPERLESS_ALLAUTH_TRUSTED_PROXY_COUNT handling, adjusted top-navbar wrapping when the AI chat button is visible, emitted the torch index into requirements for users still relying on it, and handled notes without an associated user when building the search index.
Upgrade notes
- Bare-metal users: the documentation warns about stale files when upgrading — consult the project’s documentation and migration guide for steps and caveats (the migration guide also notes a NumPy CPU baseline increase).
- No rollback-specific instructions are included in the release notes; back up configuration and data before upgrading and follow the migration guide on GitHub if you need to revert.
Share any comments on your upgrade experience on the project’s GitHub issues or discussions so others can benefit from what worked (or what didn’t).
