Changelog

What a version means here: this repository is not a library, and nothing imports it. What you depend on is the defaults the recipe ships and the measurements taken on them. So a release is a measurement epoch — the configuration as it stood, and the figures that belong to it.

• MAJOR — the measurement basis changes (new hardware, a different model or pack).
• MINOR — a shipped default changes, or the recipe gains a capability. Your numbers move.
• PATCH — documentation, corrections, tooling. Your numbers do not move.

Every entry leads with Defaults that changed. ./run.sh and the container print the version they were launched from. The image is tagged with it: ghcr.io/0xbakeer/deepseek-v4-flash-spark:<version>.

v0.1.1 — 2026-09-03

Defaults that changed

None that move a number. template_vars_default no longer pins thinking: false; the template derives the switch instead, and the rendered prompt is byte-identical for every request shape v0.1.0 accepted.

Changed

• Thinking can be switched on with the OpenAI-style fields alone: a top-level reasoning_effort of medium/high/max (xhigh accepted as max), enable_thinking: true, or reasoning: {"effort": ...}. Before, only chat_template_kwargs.thinking did, and a client that sent reasoning_effort: high (Open WebUI's Reasoning Effort setting, for one) got the effort text with thinking still off. none/low keep the default chat mode; an explicit chat_template_kwargs.thinking still wins.
• Docs updated accordingly (API, configuration, chat template, Open WebUI).

v0.1.0 — 2026-09-02

First release.

Everything — this is the baseline. The configuration as shipped:
