We are happy to announce the release of Weaviate `1.19`, which brings a set of great features, performance improvements, and fixes: 1. [Group by arbitrary property](https://weaviate.io/blog/weaviate-1-19-release#group-by-arbitrary-property) – The groupBy option has been introduced to Get object retrieval, so you can group search results by any property. 2. [New (or improved) Data Types](https://weaviate.io/blog/weaviate-1-19-release#new-or-improved-data-types) – Datatypes changes with text having faster filtering & more tokenization options while deprecating string to reduce complexity, and adding uuid to allow efficient uuid storage. 3. [Generative Cohere Module](https://weaviate.io/blog/weaviate-1-19-release#generative-cohere-module) – Combines the best of Weaviate, retrieving and searching relevant documents with the generative capabilities of the models that Cohere is cooking up! 4. [Tunable Consistency for Vector Search and GraphQL Get Requests](https://weaviate.io/blog/weaviate-1-19-release#tunable-consistency-for-vector-search-and-graphql-get-requests) – Consistency tuning with replication is now available for vector search with Get requests. 5.
