What's new in 3.0.4
What's Changed in v3.0.4 Bug-fix release tackling eight open issues reported against v3.0.3. Focused on download correctness, webui responsiveness, storage flexibility, and analyzer coverage for new quant formats. Every fix ships with regression tests; go test -race ./... is now fully green across every package. Bug Fixes - Resumable downloads actually resume now (#70) — downloadSingle and each downloadMultipart part goroutine now open .part files with O_RDWR|O_CREATE (no truncate), stat the existing size, and issue Range: bytes=pos-end requests from that offset. Interrupted downloads resume correctly on rerun, and within-process retries after a flaky-connection cut no longer lose bytes. Previously every Ctrl+C silently re-fetched from zero and single-file downloads literally had no resume code path at all. - Unsloth Dynamic quant variants correctly labeled (#72) — the GGUF quant regex now supports Q{2..8}_K_XL / _XXL suffixes and IQ1_S / IQ1_M. Previously on repos like unsloth/Qwen3-30B-A3B-GGUF the regex silently collapsed six UD-Q*_K_XL files into Q2_K..Q8_K labels that collided with the real plain-K quants, and missed the two IQ1 files entirely. All 25 GGUF files in that repo now label correctly. Added quality/description map entries for Q2_K_L, Q2..8_K_XL, IQ1_S/M, IQ2_M, IQ3_XXS. - Multimodal GGUF repos auto-bundle the vision encoder (#76) — analyzeGGUF now partitions .gguf files into LLM quants vs mmproj vision encoders. A vision_encoder SelectableItem is emitted as Recommended by default, so the recommended CLI command for a multimodal repo becomes e.g. -F q4_k_m,mm...
