Ollama released v0.40.0-rc0, introducing manifest-list storage that allows runner-specific manifests to coexist under a single tag while retaining existing v1 tags as downgrade anchors1. Show, list, copy, remove, pull, and push commands now support runner and digest selection. The release adds lazy local compatibility migration converting legacy Ollama GGUFs into llama.cpp-compatible formats, covering patched model families and preserving templates, projectors, media metadata, split GGUFs, and MTP/draft tensors. Create, import, and conversion paths were extended under the same compatibility rules.
