This update is all about making the AI's output limits more reliable and ensuring settings files load properly, no matter which text editor you used to save them. It mostly matters to developers who use different AI providers or who are working on Windows machines.
What's new
*(Nothing brand new was added in this update, but existing features were improved!)*
Improvements
- Better long-winded answers: The AI now handles "max output tokens" (the limit on how long a single response can be) much better. This is especially true if you are using a custom gateway (a middleman server that routes your requests), OpenAI, or "reasoning models" (AIs that think step-by-step before answering). It won't accidentally cut off your answers as often.
Fixes
- Windows saving bug fixed: Sometimes, Windows text editors save files with a hidden "UTF-8 byte order mark" at the very beginning (a tiny, invisible piece of code that tells the computer about the text formatting). Before, this invisible mark confused the AI and caused it to fail when reading your settings files. Now, it ignores the mark and reads the files perfectly.
Breaking changes
