1.7.2:

Bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug that would misformat messages when a function was called

1.7.1:

Bugfixes:
- The default model settings now uses custom models from profiles, not the pre established gpt models

Improvements
- Experimental iCloud sync support, you can enable it in the "Keys & Sync" tab in the settings.
- You can now send messages with ⌘+⏎, regardless of your current setting for return-key behavior.

Improvements:
- There is now a prompt library for system prompts
- There is a new Profile system to manage available models. You can now use multiple OpenAI accounts. Experimentally, you can also add Azure OpenAI instances. Use the Keys tab in the settings to use this feature.

1.6.1:

Bugfix:
- Switched to lazy-rendering of messages. This should improve overall performances throughout the app.

Improvements:
- New Conversation Status Bar that shows the token count for the current conversation, all of its settings (clicking on an indicator allows you to change the associated value), a button to open the prompt library, a "Remaining tokens" indicator.
- Share your conversation with ShareGPT via Conversation > Share !

- Exporting conversations now generate a Markdown file.
- (Optional, opt-in) Show timestamps on each message.

- Up arrow to edit is only enabled when the message text field is empty
- Token estimation is now much more accurate

- For conversations and folders, accidental deletion is no longer possible.

1.4.1:

Improvements ! (super exciting)
