v5.0

What's Changed

• An all-new preferences view that combines all extension options into a single powerful command. To change any preference, simply launch the “Preferences” command.
• Extensive support for custom APIs. Connecting and using your own API is now simple and intuitive. Simply go to "Custom OpenAI-compatible APIs" in the Preferences and add your API. You can even add multiple APIs and switch between models seamlessly. Learn more.
• Performance optimizations for extension startup times and long context.

Why have the preferences been moved to a new command?

Due to Raycast limitations. Their API for extensions offers very limited customization for preferences, and it quickly gets messy. Moving the preferences into a separate command keeps things simple for both the developer and the user.

Full Changelog: v3.9.1...v4.0

v3.9.1

This is a bugfix update.

• Fixed automatic updates not working for some users.

What's Changed

• Fix automatic updates by @XInTheDark in #123

Full Changelog: v3.9...v3.9.1

v3.9

This update brings a huge improvement to the Web Search feature, as well as other enhancements.

Web Search has been made easily accessible for all users. We now use the DuckDuckGo search engine when the Web Search option is enabled. It's fast, private, and 100% free; therefore it has replaced our previously-used search provider. DuckDuckGo also doesn't need an API Key to access, so it's much more convenient.

Web Search is an incredibly useful feature, preventing hallucinations from the model, as well as providing the latest information. To try it out, simply check "Enable Web Search" in the extension preferences!

Other changes:

• Reverted the temporary patch in v3.8.1 - the issue has been fixed.
• We now allow editing (and resending) any message in the conversation, not just the latest one.

What's Changed

• Use DuckDuckGo for web search by @XInTheDark in #122
