v1.3.0
π Release Notes: v1.3.0 β The Layout & Usability Update
This release focuses on settings page layout reliability under Windows display scaling, silent background AI service integration, and upgrading to the latest Gemini 2.5 models.
π What's New
π 1. Responsive Settings Page Layout & Spacing
Bottom-Locked Action Buttons: Restructured the Tkinter packing hierarchy. Settings control buttons ("Save Settings", "Cancel", "Diagnostics") are now firmly locked to the bottom (side="bottom"), ensuring they never get pushed off-screen under high OS display scaling.
Checkbox Spacing Fix: Increased settings window geometry to 460x560 and tabview height to 370. This provides comfortable vertical breathing room, resolving the clipping/cutoff issue on the bottom checkboxes inside the Limits tab.
π€ 2. Seamless Local & Cloud AI Integrations
Ollama Background Auto-Start: The diagnostics health check now automatically checks and launches the local Ollama background service if it is installed but not currently running.
Silent Ollama Execution: Hides empty, intrusive CMD console windows when starting the Ollama background installer and services.
Gemini 2.5 Flash Endpoint: Upgraded the AI advisor backend model ID from the deprecated Gemini 1.5 Flash to the latest stable Gemini 2.5 Flash endpoint.
Detailed API Error Messages: Exposed detailed error strings directly in the diagnostics pop-up when Google Gemini API calls fail, allowing for much easier API key validation and debugging.
