This article records configuration and changes from a historical FastGPT release. Use it to understand that release, and consult the release notes for your installed and target versions before applying dependencies, configuration, or migration steps.
API and Configuration Enhancements
Self-hosted production deployments now support specifying a custom file path for the config.json configuration file, removing fixed directory constraints for configuration management. API requests can use the special NO_RECORD_HISTORIES value for the chatId field to prevent the system from recording conversation history for the current interaction. The following table outlines the valid chatId parameter behavior:
| Parameter Field | Accepted Value | System Behavior |
|---|---|---|
chatId | NO_RECORD_HISTORIES | Disables conversation history storage |
| Any valid string | Default behavior | Stores conversation history as standard |
Additional configuration updates include native support for Jina AI model system setup, and usage-based billing for rerank model inference, aligning cost tracking with actual model utilization.
Workflow and Dataset Improvements
Dataset-powered responses now include inline citations appended to the end of each referenced paragraph, improving source transparency for end users. The workflow editor now features an auto-align function accessible via right-click, which automatically organizes connected nodes to reduce manual layout time. MCP tools have received two key updates: support for the HTTP Streamable protocol, and the ability to edit tool names within the MCP Server to support clients that do not recognize Chinese characters, expanding cross-client compatibility.
Business and Operational Features
New operational and commercial tools include support for subscription plan redemption codes, simplifying license distribution for team and enterprise deployments. Alipay has been added as a native payment method for FastGPT transactions, and short link analytics tracking is now available to monitor engagement metrics for generated shortened links.
