Release Notes - v0.5.6

Release Date: 2026-03-30 Changes: v0.5.6 → main

Summary

Cognee 0.5.6 focuses on making memories faster, more relevant, and easier to manage. This release delivers a small set of user-facing features—bulk import/export and better relevance controls—plus search and stability improvements to reduce friction for both end users and teams.

Highlights

• Faster memory retrieval and search responsiveness for a smoother experience
• Smarter relevance ranking so results are more context-aware
• Bulk import/export for memories to simplify migration and backups
• New memory filtering and tagging improvements in the UI
• Multiple bug fixes and stability improvements across sync, auth, and dashboard

Breaking Changes

• No breaking changes in 0.5.6. Integrations and existing workflows should continue to work as before. If you rely on the API, review the compatibility notes in the API docs as we’ve made small, non-breaking improvements to response formats and error messages.

New Features

• Bulk import and export: You can now export a set of memories or import large batches to/from JSON/CSV formats. This simplifies backups, migrations, and onboarding large datasets.
• Manual tagging & labels: Add custom tags and labels to memories to improve organization and make filtering more effective.
• Relevance controls: New settings let you tune relevance signals used in memory ranking so results match your context and priorities better.
• Memory details view: The UI includes an expanded details panel for individual memories with metadata, tags, and recent activity.

Improvements

• Search & retrieval performance: Reduced latency for common queries and improved pagination to return results faster.
• Deduplication & merging: Improved logic to detect and merge duplicate memories, reducing clutter and confusion.
• UI filters: Faster, more reliable filters (by tag, date, and source) and clearer empty-state messaging.
• API behavior & errors: API responses have clearer error messages and more consistent pagination defaults to make integrations more reliable.
• Sync reliability: Reduced edge-case failures during syncing with external sources (fewer dropped or duplicated items).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where importing certain memory batches could create duplicate entries.
• Resolved a rare authentication token refresh failure that caused unexpected logouts.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when deleting archived memories from the dashboard.
• Corrected inaccurate memory counts in some dashboard widgets and lists.
• Addressed a problem where empty fields could cause memory creation to fail in some workflows.

Technical Changes

• Internal refactor of the memory storage layer to improve future scalability and maintainability.
• Upgraded several backend dependencies for security and performance.
• Improved test coverage and monitoring to detect regressions earlier.
• Telemetry enhancements to better track query performance and sync health (privacy-respecting; no new user-visible data collection).
