Crush v0.85.0 Changelog

This update is all about making your conversations with AI models much more interactive and reliable. If you use Crush to work with AI, you will now have a much easier time collaborating with models when they need more information from you. It is a big deal for anyone who wants a cleaner, faster interface without dealing with messy layouts or slow loading times.

What's new

• Interactive Questions: AI models can now prompt you with single-choice, multiple-choice, yes/no, or free-form text questions. You can use your mouse to click and scroll, paste text into boxes, or use quick keyboard shortcuts to answer.
• Elapsed Time Counter: No more wondering if the AI is frozen. A new timer shows you exactly how long the model has been processing your request.
• LM Studio Vision Support: If you use LM Studio (a program that lets you run AI models locally on your own computer), Crush can now connect to its vision features to process images.

Improvements

• Smart Screen Resizing: Pop-up boxes, menus, and file selectors now automatically scale down, truncate long titles, and adjust their borders so they never look cluttered on small screens.
• Smoother Scrolling and Resizing: The app now uses "memoization" (a programming trick where the computer remembers how it drew text and code colors previously instead of recalculating them from scratch) to make scrolling through chats much faster.
• Automatic Re-login: If your connection drops, Crush will now automatically try to log you back in behind the scenes without interrupting you.
• Official OpenAI Integration: The developers switched back to the official, standard OpenAI developer tools (SDK) instead of using a custom-modified version, which makes the app more stable.

Fixes

• UI Freezes: Fixed a bug where the screen would freeze up while loading AI model options during login.
• Messy Text Wrapping: Fixed several layout bugs where text, buttons, and titles in pop-up menus would wrap awkwardly or overlap on narrow screens.
• Question Tool Glitches: Fixed minor bugs with the new question tool, such as scrollbars disappearing in single-select mode and hover effects acting weird.
• Login Command: Fixed a bug where the login command (crush auth) would fail if you weren't running the app in client/server mode.
