2026-08-24: Rename to mod-pbc

Changelog

• renamed the repo and the module to mod-pbc
• added repo icon

Full Changelog: 2026-08-10...2026-08-24

Update Notes

• both old and new directory names are supported, so you don't need to do anything when updating to this version or higher, this release is mostly to avoid wrong dir name for fresh installs

2026-08-10: Connections rework & Ollama support

Changelog

• reworked API connections format to make the configuration easier and the model/task selection more flexible
• added native Ollama API support
• minor web app fixes

Full Changelog: 2026-06-28...2026-08-10

Update Notes

• connections with their parameters now live in separate JSONC files, where you are able to fine-tune basically anything provider/connection-related
• you can now pick exactly which connection to use for a particular task
• it's recommended to migrate your existing connections from the main config file, however there is a fallback mechanism that will load old config parameters to not break anything; I plan to keep the fallback in the foreseeable future, but its support is definitely a second priority
• read CONNECTIONS.md that describes current implementation

2026-06-28: Responses regeneration

Changelog

• added ability to regenerate the last event responses (via web app or .chars regen-last command)
• improved responses and events handling for raid groups (#24)

Update Notes

• before updating it's highly recommended to do a backup with tools/pbc_backup.sh from the previous release or manually (all pbc_* tables)
• on the first start with this release check the server log to see that your history was migrated successfully (look for migration-20260524.sql)
• check that the history for your characters is still available using .chars history <name> or web app
