## Recent releases

| Version | Date | Urgency | Changes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `v0.15.0` | 2026-05-24 | High | # v0.15.0 — Performance & reliability Non-breaking performance and bug-fix release on top of a dependency-update wave. Vectra's own API is fully backward-compatible; only direct callers of bumped SDKs (most notably `openai` 4 → 6) need to review their code.  [Install Vectra from NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vectra)  ## Highlights - Re-upserting unchanged documents is a **no-op** instead of O(chunks) embedding calls. - Faster transactions, faster top-K queries, faster bulk delete. - |
| `v0.14.0` | 2026-04-03 | High | ## What's New  ### Breaking Changes  - **`fetch()` replaces axios** — All HTTP requests now use the built-in `fetch()` API. Projects relying on axios interceptors or custom axios config need to switch to the `requestConfig` option (a standard `RequestInit` object) on `OpenAIEmbeddings`. - **Node.js 22.x minimum** — Minimum Node.js version is now 22.x (up from 20.x), driven by `undici@8.0.0` requiring `node >=22.19.0`.  ### New Features  - **Browser & Electron support** — Full browser and Electro |
