- Introduced a new settings indexer that speeds up indexing of many settings (displayed fields, synonyms, primary key, etc.) and can be disabled via an env var or CLI flag.
- Enhanced indexing performance with autobatch deletions by filter and added support for global facet search using the new indexer.
- Fixed bugs: document fetch no longer blocks the Actix worker, corrected binary quantization errors in embedder configs, and reduced Windows timeout test flakiness.
