Paperless-ngx is an extensive document management system. 3.0.0 has just been released.
It seems from a user/admin perspective that a lot of obsolete stuff under the hood got removed and they did some performance stuff, but it’s also full of AI features. There’s too many changes to read them all though, I wonder if there’s a blogpost or something somewhere summarizing the main changes.
Personally I’ll stay with 2.X for some days at least to see what people say about the new version. I’m not interested to have AI parse my documents, the alrogirthmic auto tagging etc works quite well.



I had a quick look and the AI features that are added:
They do look to be optional at least. I’d probably be a bit more concerned if the code was largely written with LLMs, given the large number of commits in what looks to be only a few months.
I upgraded and havent enabled the AI stuff and I literally cant tell it’s there, not sure why people are freaking out. Seems like theres a lot more in it as well.
