paperless-ngx v3.0.5 released on 01-08-2026

paperless-ngx v3.0.5 is out now. It delivers a broad set of bug fixes and UI polish that improve reliability across search, AI suggestions, imports and the web UI.
See the project’s GitHub release for the full changelog, downloads and implementation details.
What’s in this release
- Search now accepts Whoosh-era abbreviated relative-date units (yrs, mos, wks, etc).
- AI suggestion handling tightened: the suggestion cache is keyed by model and endpoint and empty/absent fields are handled more robustly.
- Backend stability and performance improvements, including sqlite-vec point-delete for document chunks and server-side iterators for LLM index updates.
Upgrade notes
- No breaking changes are listed; review the documentation clarifications for PAPERLESS_CONSUMER_IGNORE_PATTERNS and the new Password Removal workflow docs before upgrading.
- Dependency bump: pymdown-extensions 10.21.3 → 11.0. If you pin dependencies or build docs locally, update your environment; revert to your previous deployment or image tag if you need to roll back.
Share any comments or your experience with the release on the project’s GitHub so maintainers and other users can see how it performs in the wild.
