We're pleased to announce **Apache Answer 2.0.2**, a focused patch release that improves the AI chat experience, adds more flexible email settings, and tightens security across authentication, permissions, and content handling.

You can download the release from the [Apache Answer download page](https://answer.apache.org/download) or view the full details on the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/apache/answer/releases/tag/v2.0.2).

## ✨ Highlights

### AI Reasoning Content Support

Reasoning models often expose their chain-of-thought before delivering the final answer. Apache Answer now preserves that reasoning content in AI conversation records and the chat UI, so follow-up rounds retain the full context.

- **Add reasoning content support in AI conversation records and chat UI** ([#1530](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1530)) by [@hgaol](https://github.com/hgaol)

### Optional Email Verification

For deployments that do not require mandatory email confirmation, administrators can now disable email verification directly from site settings, making onboarding smoother for internal or trusted environments.

- **Allow disabling email verification from site settings** ([#1540](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1540)) by [@AsyncAssassin](https://github.com/AsyncAssassin)

### Configurable New-Question Email Intervals

New-question email notifications now support interval-based delivery, and the email throttle has been moved to a dedicated worker with a configurable queue.

- **Add interval support for new question email notifications** ([#1545](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1545)) by [@AsyncAssassin](https://github.com/AsyncAssassin)
- **Move new question email throttling to a dedicated worker and make the email queue configurable** by [@AsyncAssassin](https://github.com/AsyncAssassin)

### Graceful Panic Recovery

Unexpected panics are now caught earlier and handled more gracefully, reducing the chance of a single failure tearing down an entire request.

- **Add recovery middleware to handle unexpected panics more gracefully** ([#1537](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1537)) by [@hhc7](https://github.com/hhc7)

### Safer External Login

Connector sign-in flows are now more robust against incorrect account binding, and API key access is cleaned up when roles or accounts change.

- **Prevent incorrect external login account binding during connector sign-in flows** by [@LinkinStars](https://github.com/LinkinStars)
- **Remove stale administrative API key access after role or account changes** by [@LinkinStars](https://github.com/LinkinStars)

### Build & Packaging Update

- **Update Docker and CI build flow to use Buildx and Go 1.25** by [@LinkinStars](https://github.com/LinkinStars)

## 🔒 Reliability and Security Improvements

Alongside the release note items, the changes between **v2.0.1** and **v2.0.2** also harden several important areas:

- **Short link fixes**: editing questions and accepting answers now work correctly when short links are enabled ([#1541](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1541), [#1554](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1554))
- **License compliance**: added the missing license entry for `mozillazg-go-unidecode` ([#1552](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1552))
- **Header hardening**: `Accept-Language` parsing now rejects malformed oversized headers
- **Revision audit permissions**: approve and reject actions now use aligned permission checks
- **Avatar ownership**: avatar cleanup now enforces ownership checks when updating profile images
- **Content visibility**: deleted or pending answers are restricted in answer and MCP retrieval paths
- **Error handling**: JSON 500 rewriting is limited to API routes and avoids rewriting already-flushed responses
- **URL slugs**: non-Latin titles now generate pragmatic ASCII slugs instead of falling back to `/topic` ([#1526](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1526))

These changes make 2.0.2 a recommended upgrade for teams already running 2.0.0 or 2.0.1.

## ✨ 本次更新亮点

### AI 推理内容支持

推理模型通常会在给出最终答案前展示思考过程。Apache Answer 现在会在 AI 对话记录和聊天界面中保留这部分推理内容,让多轮对话能够保留完整的上下文。

- **在 AI 对话记录和聊天界面中支持推理内容** ([#1530](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1530)),感谢 [@hgaol](https://github.com/hgaol)

### 可选邮箱验证

对于不需要强制邮件确认的内部或受信任环境,管理员现在可以直接在站点设置中关闭邮箱验证,简化用户入驻流程。

- **支持在站点设置中关闭邮箱验证** ([#1540](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1540)),感谢 [@AsyncAssassin](https://github.com/AsyncAssassin)

### 可配置的新问题邮件通知间隔

新问题邮件通知现在支持按间隔发送,同时邮件限流也已迁移到独立 worker,并支持配置邮件队列。

- **新增新问题邮件通知的间隔发送支持** ([#1545](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1545)),感谢 [@AsyncAssassin](https://github.com/AsyncAssassin)
- **将新问题邮件限流迁移至独立 worker,并支持配置邮件队列**,感谢 [@AsyncAssassin](https://github.com/AsyncAssassin)

### 更优雅的 Panic 恢复

新增 recovery 中间件,可以更早、更优雅地捕获意外 panic,降低单个失败拖垮整个请求的风险。

- **新增 recovery 中间件以更好地处理 HTTP 请求中的意外 panic** ([#1537](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1537)),感谢 [@hhc7](https://github.com/hhc7)

### 更安全的外部登录

连接器登录流程现在能更好地防止错误的账号绑定,同时在角色或账号变更后会清理过期的管理员 API Key 权限。

- **防止连接器登录流程中的错误外部账号绑定**,感谢 [@LinkinStars](https://github.com/LinkinStars)
- **在角色或账号变更后移除过期的管理员 API Key 权限**,感谢 [@LinkinStars](https://github.com/LinkinStars)

### 构建与打包更新

- **Docker 与 CI 构建流程升级为 Buildx 与 Go 1.25**,感谢 [@LinkinStars](https://github.com/LinkinStars)

## 🔒 稳定性与安全性增强

除了 release note 中列出的内容之外,从 **v2.0.1** 到 **v2.0.2** 的代码改动还覆盖了几项很重要的底层修正:

- **短链接修复**:开启短链接后,编辑问题和采纳回答现在都能正常工作 ([#1541](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1541), [#1554](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1554))
- **许可证合规**:补充了 `mozillazg-go-unidecode` 缺失的许可证声明 ([#1552](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1552))
- **请求头加固**:`Accept-Language` 解析现在会拒绝畸形超长请求头
- **修订审核权限**:采纳与拒绝操作的权限校验现在保持一致
- **头像所有权**:更新头像时会强制执行所有权检查并清理旧头像
- **内容可见性**:在回答与 MCP 检索路径中限制已删除或待审核回答的可见性
- **错误处理**:JSON 500 重写仅作用于 API 路由,并避免在响应已刷新后重写
- **URL Slug**:非拉丁标题现在会生成实用的 ASCII slug,而不是回退到 `/topic` ([#1526](https://github.com/apache/answer/pull/1526))

如果你已经在使用 **2.0.0** 或 **2.0.1**,我们建议尽快升级到 **2.0.2**。
