 # v0.5.0 [Unreleased]
 
+## Notice
+* llama.cpp backend (CPU, Metal) now requires a redownload of gguf model due to upstream format changes: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby/pull/645 https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/3252
+
 ## Features
 
 ## Fixes and Improvements
+
 * Switch cpu backend to llama.cpp: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby/pull/638
 * add `server.completion_timeout` to control the code completion interface timeout: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby/pull/637
