CrossGen v0.3.0
CrossGen 0.3.0 is the release where Image2Tools becomes a one-stop AI image generation manager. The focus is practical daily work: configure API access once, discover models and compatible routes, generate images, keep useful results organized, edit images quickly, then reuse them as references for the next image-to-image round.
User-Facing Highlights
- CrossGen brand and positioning: README, release messaging, and package metadata now describe CrossGen as a one-stop AI image generation manager rather than a low-level image API utility.
- One API access hub: save multiple API keys and Base URLs, switch access profiles, run model discovery, and let CrossGen use the route that works for the configured provider.
- OpenAI-compatible aggregation gate: v0.3.0 real-provider acceptance validates GPT Image 2 and Gemini image models through a compatible aggregation endpoint and the product-supported
/chat/completionsimage path. - Better Gallery and History reuse: generated outputs and saved Gallery assets can be searched, tagged, organized into folders, previewed, edited, and dragged directly into image-to-image reference slots.
- Local folder-friendly Gallery: Gallery assets remain local files, so users can manage reusable images both inside CrossGen and through their normal local file workflow.
- Simple image editing loop: preview, crop, draw, add text, pick colors, save edited results to Gallery, then reuse them immediately for another generation.
- Prompt templates and chips: prompt templates, Gallery references, and color values can be inserted into the prompt workflow without leaving the main workspace.
- Dark mode: the UI now has a calmer dark theme for longer image review and editing sessions.
- Community: feedback and workflow discussion are available through the CrossGen Discord community at https://discord.gg/XphwmYtY.
