Crush v0.80.0 Changelog

This release is all about making the app run smoother and fixing annoying freezes. It matters most to people who run AI models directly on their own computers, but anyone with a massive list of settings will notice the app feels a lot snappier.

What's new

• Auto-detecting local model memory: If you run AI models on your own computer using tools like Ollama or LM Studio, Crush now automatically figures out how much text memory (the "context window") your model can handle. Before, it was mistakenly setting this to zero.
• Better warning logs: The app now captures and logs warning messages from AI providers, making it easier to understand what went wrong behind the scenes.

Improvements

• Faster settings and model picker: The way the app reads your settings was completely rebuilt. If you have a long, complicated setup with lots of AI providers, the menu where you pick your model will now load much faster.
• Smoother visuals: The app now skips unnecessary work when redrawing the screen if the theme hasn't changed, which speeds up the interface.
• Faster file searches: Searching for files in massive folders won't slow down or crash the app anymore because the search is now kept within safe limits.

Fixes

• Unfreezing stuck chats: Sometimes an AI would try to use a tool (like a calculator or web searcher) but send broken, unreadable text data to do it. This completely broke the chat, and you couldn't even type new prompts. The app now catches this bad data, tells the AI to try again, and stops the chat from freezing.
• Stopping login fights: If you had two Crush windows open at the same time, they used to accidentally log each other out. This is now fixed.
• Preventing settings clashes: If two Crush windows tried to save your settings at the exact same time, it used to cause a "race condition" (where they overwrite each other and corrupt the file). The app now safely copies the data to prevent this.
• UI glitch fixes: Fixed a visual bug where little status pills would glitch out if a to-do list or queue suddenly popped up in the middle of your chat. Also fixed an issue where scrolling would feel weird and jerky.
