 - Added support for predefined chat templates in configuration plugins to help enterprises roll out consistent templates across the organization.
 - Added the ability to choose between automatic and manual update installation to the app settings (default is manual).
 - Added the ability to control the update installation behavior by configuration plugins.
+- Added the option for LLM providers to stream citations or sources.
+- Added support for citations to the chat interface. This feature is invisible unless an LLM model is streaming citations or sources.
 - Improved memory usage in several areas of the app.
 - Improved plugin management for configuration plugins so that hot reload detects when a provider or chat template has been removed.
 - Improved the dialog for naming chats and workspaces to ensure valid inputs are entered.
