+## v1.29.4
+Released: 2026-05-15
+
+- IMPROVEMENT: Optimized [BacktestingScheduler](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/scheduler/#backtesting-scheduler) exact mode for [online models](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models/#online-models) (which are also used in [UI](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/ui/)-triggered tasks), leading to 2-200x faster results and more responsive UI interactions.
+
+- UI: Updated [vmanomaly UI](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/ui/) from [v1.6.1](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/ui/#v161) to [v1.7.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/ui/#v170), see respective [release notes](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/ui/#v170) for details. Notable changes include iterative anomaly detection with progress bar, model inference speedups, improved AI Copilot UX and various bug fixes.
+
+- BUGFIX: Made model-level `queries` and `schedulers` attachment semantics explicit and safer. Omitting these args still keeps the legacy default of attaching a model to all queries or schedulers with a warning, while `queries: null`, `queries: []`, `schedulers: null`, and `schedulers: []` now mean the model is intentionally unattached and will be dropped from active execution. Use `queries: all` or `schedulers: all` to request all attachments explicitly. Orphan models, queries, and schedulers are logged and removed during config validation, including hot reload.

 ## Changelog
 
+### v1.7.0
+Released: 2026-05-15
+
+vmanomaly version: [v1.29.4](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/changelog/#v1294)
+
+- FEATURE: Improved [AI Copilot](#ai-assistance) to 
+  - support textual attachments, such as configuration files, query examples, model outputs, etc.
+  - operate with current time when suggesting time range changes, e.g. "current month" or "from the beginning of the last month until now"
+- FEATURE: improve infer jobs scheduled from UI to
+  - run 2-100x faster for [online models](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models/#online-models) depending on a configuration vs [1.6.1](#v161) timings
+  - show stage-aware progress bar, e.g. "getting data", "fitting model", "inferring on chunk".
+- IMPROVEMENT: "Advanced Options" design is improved, section is collapsed by default to save vertical space, yet can be encoded as always open in UI state URL.
+- IMPROVEMENT: dropdowns in UI are now searcheable and constrained in size for better UX, especially when many options are available (e.g. models list, tenants list, etc.).
+- BUGFIX: in generated config ("Show Config" menu)
+  - special YAML values (like `-.inf`, `.inf`, `.nan`) are now properly quoted and formatted to avoid JSON converting issues when copied to Kubernetes CRs, which previously lead to rejection of the manifest before vmanomaly can consume it.
+  - with Data Source selected as "Logs/Traces" `reader.class` is now correctly set to `vlogs` (previously `vm`) in generated config, when "model only" toggle is turned off.
+- BUGFIX: now "Hide Common Labels" toggle in "Table View" works correctly and does not show common labels in the legend columns when turned on.
+- BUGFIX: improved dropdowns for better accessibility to be searcheable and constrained in size.
+- BUGFIX: "Prettify query" now works correctly for "Metrics" datasources.
