wrangler@4.149.0
Minor Changes #16036 9a58244 Thanks @edevil ! - Support temporary event accounts in R2 and Containers commands wrangler r2 and wrangler containers commands now accept the hidden --temporary flag, so accounts created for an event can manage buckets, objects and containers directly. Every command that supports --temporary now also accepts a hidden --event-code flag, so the first command a participant runs can create the event account: wrangler r2 bucket create my-bucket --temporary --event-code <code> R2 and Containers are only available on event accounts. R2 custom domains, Sippy, external container registries and wrangler cloudchamber commands still require a logged-in account. Patch Changes #16139 2d1d563 Thanks @cpojer ! - Update esbuild to 0.28.2 Align esbuild dependency with tooling using the latest 0.28 patch so package managers can share one installation instead of downloading a second native binary. #15632 85b14e7 Thanks @petebacondarwin ! - Honor Retry-After directives during static asset uploads Static asset uploads now pause retries and pending uploads until the latest outstanding deadline requested by the API. A per-request limiter also keeps gateway retries at the reduced concurrency after the pause ends, preventing a deployment from immediately overloading a constrained asset service again. #16098 fe607f9 Thanks @dependabot ! - Update dependencies of "miniflare", "wrangler" The following dependency versions have been updated: Dependency From To sharp 0.35.4 0.35.5 #16093 ad7ff45 Thanks @DiogoSantoss ! - Document that addresses catch-all entries must use the zone apex A *@domain entry in addresses must use the zone apex, such as *@example.com . The zone catch-all also receives mail for every subdomain in the zone that has no literal rule. #16102 757faa6 Thanks @tlq5l ! - Keep Preview secrets when deploying to an existing Preview Secrets added to a Preview with wrangler preview secret put or wrangler preview secret bulk were lost the next time wrangler preview ran, because each new deployment was created from the Wrangler config, --var and --secrets-file values only. wrangler preview now carries over the secrets of the Preview's latest deployment. A value passed in this deployment ( --secrets-file , --var or a previews binding with the same name) still replaces the existing secret, and wrangler preview secret delete removes one. #15617 93c1069 Thanks @jpatel3 ! - Stop the update check from recommending deprecated versions Previously, the "update available" notice shown by wrangler and @cloudflare/vite-plugin always pointed at whichever version was tagged latest on npm, even after that version had been deprecated for shipping a bug. Deprecated versions are now never recommended: if the latest release has been deprecated, the newest non-deprecated stable release below it is suggested instead, or nothing at all if you are already on it. The check now reads the npm registry directly instead of going through the update-check package, which discarded the deprecation information. The on-disk cache location and one-hour refresh interval are unchanged. #16003 6947df3 Thanks @oddharsh ! - Ship using and await using declarations to the runtime as written, for smaller Worker bundles Workers and Pages Functions that use explicit resource management no longer carry about 1 KB of bundled helper code to emulate it. workerd supports using and await using natively at every compatibility date, so wrangler deploy , wrangler versions upload and Pages Functions builds now leave these declarations untouched. #15958 82acf3c Thanks @breken-ai ! - Apply each action's own condition in wrangler r2 bucket lifecycle add When a lifecycle rule was added with both expiration and Infrequent Access transition flags, both actions read their condition from the same list of flags, which checked --expire-days first. --expire-days 365 --ia-transition-days 30 therefore transitioned objects after 365 days instead of 30, and --expire-date 2027-01-01 --ia-transition-days 30 deleted objects after 30 days instead of on the given date. Expiration now only reads --expire-days / --expire-date , and transition only reads --ia-transition-days / --ia-transition-date . Updated dependencies [ 2d1d563 , e6f7663 , fe607f9 , 8de6b3c , ae29445 , cc8e969 , 417b186 ]: miniflare@5.20261006.1-alpha

v0.40.2
Model upgrades Models downloaded with earlier versions of Ollama are upgraded in the background the first time you run them, for better performance and compatibility when running on llama.cpp. To make downgrading safe, Ollama keeps the original copy as a backup, so upgraded models are temporarily kept on disk. A future release will remove these backups automatically. To remove backed up models now (requires jq ): curl -s localhost:11434/api/tags | jq -r ' .models[].name ' | while read -r m ; do curl -s localhost:11434/api/show -d " { \" model \" : \" $m \" } " | jq -r \ ' select(any(.manifests[]?; .runner == "llamacpp")) | .manifests[] | select(.runner == "ggml") | .digest ' done | sort -u | xargs -n1 ollama rm This only deletes the backups. If you later downgrade to a version older than 0.40, you'll need to re-pull those models. Other changes ollama list no longer shows duplicate entries for upgraded models by @dhiltgen in #18874 ollama launch claude uses the model's full context length by @jberg5 in #18855 README: add oxi to community integrations by @maziluiosif in #18739 New Contributors @maziluiosif made their first contribution in #18739 Full Changelog : v0.40.1...v0.40.2-rc0
