Hi @paulpla

Brief release notes can be found here https://github.com/brianpetro/obsidian-smart-connections/releases

I try to make note of releases that would trigger re-embeddings, but sometimes the change is related to a bug fix or other change that I didn't expect to cause a re-embedding.

There was a recent change that might disproportionately impact re-embeddings on windows computers (normalizing the newline character). But since this change happened in the underlying Smart Chunks project, there wasn't an explicit note in the plugin release about the potential for re-embeddings.

Overall, full re-embeddings should be uncommon, even after an update. A good way to test if it is a bug or caused by an update:

After the embeddings are done processing, go to the community plugins section, disable, then re-enable Smart Connections. If the embedding process starts again, then it is likely a bug and should be reported as an issue here on GitHub 🌴
