Truly 0.1.1 Preview 9

Truly 0.1.1 Preview 9

Preview 9 focuses on model setup reliability, release hardening, and Chrome Web Store-compatible package versioning.

Changes

• Keeps Ollama and OpenAI-compatible endpoint/model drafts separate in both Pre-reading prompt and Summary / deep reading settings.
• Updates local model placeholders to a portable gemma-4-e4b-it-4bit default for OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
• Reduces sponsored-post false positives by removing author-level sponsored memory.
• Hardens development/release build boundaries so development-only reload hooks are excluded from submitted packages.
• Bumps the Chrome package version to 0.1.1 because Chrome Web Store requires manifest.version to increase for each uploaded package.

Install

Download truly-extension-0.1.1-7bdb3a06170c.zip, unzip it, open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, and load the unzipped folder.

setup guidance for private endpoints.

Changes

• Add API key support for OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Ollama or OpenAI-compatible endpoint responds but does not return the format
Truly needs.

  unusable format.
