Announcements

Starting from March 26th, we will begin including localized sales tax for all new customers who subscribe on or after this date.

Starting from April 9th, all existing customers who qualify for sales tax/VAT will see localized sales tax/VAT added to their monthly invoice in USD, on top of their current subscription fee. This adjustment will appear on your next invoice on or after April 9th, with no immediate extra charge.

If you are paying with an alternative method via Paypal, OpenNode, or any other non-Stripe provider: You will be prompted to pick a sales tax region the next time you go to purchase credit.

If you have any questions about this change, please feel free to contact our team through Discord or at support@kagi.com. We will be building an F.A.Q. page to answer any questions about the migration process.

To clarify, it means an end-price increase for affected members (sales tax/VAT will be automatically added on top of Kagi price, if applicable in your country/state) and this is mandated by Kagi becoming large enough to have legal sales tax/VAT obligation. In addition, Kagi will have to retroactively pay for all sales tax/VAT that we did not collect in the last almost two years. We have chosen to absorb this on behalf of our customers.

Creating custom resolutions is quite tedious. Surely I can't be the first person to desire a tool which just does it for me.

Enter x, y, rate and done. That's what I want. Quick feedback cycles. No running 3 commands manually specifying names or whatever; I don't care how it's called, I don't want to have to specify.

Does it exist? Preferably CLI or TUI but I could live with GUI.

Features

• We've upgraded the Quick Answer keyboard shortcut. Pressing q triggers Quick Answer after search results are shown, but also allows you to control the level of detail displayed, letting you expand or condense the information to suit your needs #3493 @yellow
• Orion browser lifetime purchase w/ credits on balance is now possible
• Added Thai language option #3439 @bocchi

We currently have almost 20 languages localized. Our translation effort is crowd-sourced, and If you would like to contribute translations to Kagi, click here.

• We have doubled the file upload limit for Assistant to 16 MB #2705 @Grooty

Hi,

there are mostly stabilization, refactoring and cleanup changes. There rest are minor performance optimizations due to caching or lock contention reduction and a few notable fixes.

Please pull, thanks.

Performance improvements:

• minor speedup in logging when repeatedly allocated structure is preallocated only once, improves latency and decreases lock contention

• minor throughput increase (+6%), reduced lock contention after clearing delayed allocation bits, applies to several common workload types

• skip full quota rescan if a new relation is added in the same transaction

Fixes:

• zstd fix for inline compressed file in subpage mode, updated version from the 6.8 time

• proper qgroup inheritance ioctl parameter validation

• more fiemap followup fixes after reduced locking done in 6.8

  • fix race when detecting delalloc ranges

Core changes:

• more debugging code

  • added assertions for a very rare crash in raid56 calculation
  • tree-checker dumps page state to give more insights into possible reference counting issues

• add checksum calculation offloading sysfs knob, for now enabled under DEBUG only to determine a good heuristic for deciding the offload or synchronous, depends on various factors (block group profile, device speed) and is not as clear as initially thought (checksum type)

• error handling improvements, added assertions

• more page to folio conversion (defrag, truncate), cached size and shift

• preparation for more fine grained locking of sectors in subpage mode

• cleanups and refactoring

  • include cleanups, forward declarations
  • pointer-to-structure helpers
  • redundant argument removals
  • removed unused code
  • slab cache updates, last use of SLAB_MEM_SPREAD removed
