  Enhancement,"**Multi-pipeline knowledge bases:**   Knowledge bases can now be associated with multiple pipelines, enabling richer and more flexible data ingestion and retrieval architectures."
  Enhancement,"**Hybrid search (BYOSQL):**   Introduced Tier 1 hybrid search support with a bring-your-own-SQL (BYOSQL) interface, allowing custom retrieval logic to be combined with semantic search."
  Enhancement,"**Retrieval support for multistep pipelines:**   Retrieval operations are now supported within multistep pipeline configurations, enabling end-to-end RAG workflows across pipeline stages."
  Enhancement,**HuggingFace API support:**   Added support for the HuggingFace Inference API as a model provider for embeddings and other AI tasks.
  Enhancement,"**Model options:**   Model configurations can now include provider-specific options, giving finer control over model behavior such as temperature, max tokens, and other parameters."
  Enhancement,"**Pipeline Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) — Phase 1:**   Introduced the first phase of Dead Letter Queue support for pipelines. Processing errors are now logged for failed pipeline operations, enabling inspection and reprocessing of failed records."
  Enhancement,**Configurable CPU limit:**   Added a configurable CPU limit for background pipeline workers to prevent resource contention in shared environments.
  Enhancement,"**HCP model sync hints:**   When listing models that require HCP synchronization, AIDB now displays a helpful hint guiding users on how to sync models from HCP."
  Enhancement,"**Optionally versioned interfaces (OVI):**   Pipeline and knowledge base views now support optionally versioned interfaces, allowing clients to pin to a specific API version."
  Enhancement,**Improved deprecation UX:**   Deprecated functions now provide clearer messages with guidance on replacement functions and migration steps.
  Enhancement,"**`functions` tag on `aidb.models` view:**   The `aidb.models` view now includes a `functions` tag, making it easier to identify models that support function-calling capabilities."
  Bug fix,**Fix volume listing with directories:**   Corrected an issue where volume listing failed when directories were present alongside files in a volume.
  Change,"**Volume names with quoted identifiers blocked:**   Creating volumes with names that require quoted identifiers (for example, names containing spaces or special characters) is no longer allowed, to prevent ambiguity in SQL references."
