This update is all about making the app feel smoother and more reliable. It mostly matters to anyone who uses the built-in browser or works with older text files that have specific formatting.
Improvements
- Better search suggestions: When you type in the browser panel, the app now removes duplicate suggestions and puts the best ones at the top.
- Smarter prompt history: When you recall things you previously asked the app (your "prompts"), the system is now better at pulling up exactly what you meant to find.
Fixes
- Fixed older text files: Previously, if you opened older text files using specific character encodings (ways that computers map numbers to letters, like the Eastern European formats ISO-8859-2 or CP1250), the app would accidentally change their formatting and potentially scramble the text. It now leaves these files exactly as they are.
