CHANGELOG.md

March 26, 2024

Breaking changes

• [V1282850793] Shorten logical and physical CDK resource names
  • Long resource names were causing collisions when they were getting truncated. This was particularly problematic for customers using the Enterprise CDK PermissionsBoundaryAspect.
  • By updating these resource names and naming conventions you will not be able to simply redploy the latest changes on top of your existing deployment.
• [V1282892036] Combine Session, Chat, and RAG API Gateways into a single API Gateway
  • While Session, Chat, and RAG all remain completely optional, deploying any combination of them will result in a single API Gateway (with configurable custom domain)

Enhancements

• [V1282843657] Add support for PGVector VectorStore
  • Customers can now configure LISA to use PGVector in addition or in place of OpenSearch for their RAG repository. LISA can connect to an existing RDS Postgres instance or one can be deployed as part of the LISA deployment.
  • PGVector is now the "default" configuration in the config.yaml file as PGVector is considerably faster to deploy for demo/test purposes
• [V1282894257] Improved support for custom DNS
  • Customers can now specify a custom domain name for the LISA API Gateway as well as the LISA Serve REST ALB. If these values are set in the config.yaml file the UI will automatically use the correct pathing when making service requests without needing any additional code changes.
• [V1282858379] Move advanced chat configuration options between a collapsible "Advanced configuration" sectoin
  • The chat "control panel" has been redesigned to hide the following items chat buffer, model kwargs, prompt template, and the metadata toggle
• [V1282855530] Add support for Enterprise CDK PermissionBoundaryAspect and custom synthesizer
  • Added new property to the config.yaml to allow customers to optionally specify a configuration for the PermissionBoundaryAspect. If counfigured the aspect will be applied to all stacks
  • Added new property to the config.yaml to allow customers to optionally specify a stack sythensizer for the deployment. If counfigured the specified synthesizer will be set as a property on all stacks
• [V1282860639] Add support for configuring a system banner
  • Customers can customize the foreground, background, and text content via config.yaml
• [V1282834825] Support for bringing an existing VPC
  • Customers can optionally specify a VPC ID in config.yaml. If set LISA will import the corresponding VPC instead of creating a new one.
• [V1282880371] Support for additional (smaller) instance types for use with the LISA Serve REST API
  • Default is now an m5.large however customers can use any instance type they wish although they may need to update schema.ts if the instance type isn't already listed there

Bugs

• [AIML-ADC-7604] Rag context not visible in metadata until subsequent messages
  • This has been addressed by adding a dedicated ragContext property to the message metadata. The relevant documents including s3 key will now be visible when sending a message with a RAG repository and embedding model selected.
• [V1283663967] Chat messages occasionally wrap
  • Sometimes the model returns text that gets wrapped in <pre><code> </code></pre>. The default style for this content now has word-wrap and word-break styles applied to prevent the message overflowing.

Additional changes

• Resolved issue with files being added to the selected files list twice during RAG ingest.
• Added flashbar notification and automatically close RAG modal after successful upload
• Customers can optionally specify an existing OpenSearch cluster to use rather than creating one. When specifying an existing cluster customers will need to ensure the clsuter is reachable from the VPCs in which the RAG lambdas are running.
