About Paperless-ngx
Paperless-ngx is rebuilding for v3 with AI, a plugin framework, and a Tantivy search rewrite.
Two release lines run in parallel. The v2.20.x stable branch is in aggressive security-patch mode — five GHSA-tagged security releases in roughly two months (v2.20.7, 2.20.8, 2.20.9, 2.20.12, 2.20.15) plus a stream of permission-scope and workflow bug fixes. Meanwhile, v3.0.0-beta.rc1 just dropped with the largest feature surface in the project's history: Paperless AI, Remote OCR via Azure AI, sharelink bundles, document file versions, a document parser plugin framework, and a swap of the Whoosh search backend for Tantivy. The v3 cut also lands eleven explicit breaking changes — old API versions removed, encryption support dropped, Python 3.10 support cut, OCR control decoupled from archive-file control.
