v0.4.1 — empty GPU banner fixed, 0.7.0 toggle warns about Valeton Suite
A cosmetic bug on the GPU builds, and a clearer warning on the output-format toggle.
The empty green box on GPU builds
If you ran a CUDA build (or Apple silicon), you got a green banner at the top of the page with nothing inside it. Harmless, but it looked broken — because it was.
The banner is the "your NVIDIA card is idle, get the CUDA build" tip, so on a build that already uses your GPU it's supposed to stay hidden. It was marked hidden correctly; the stylesheet just overruled it. The browser's own rule for hidden elements is a plain display: none, and the banner's own styling set display: flex, which outranks it — so the element stayed laid out, just empty. Fixed globally rather than on that one banner, so nothing else can hit it.
Thanks to the person on reddit who reported it with the devtools output — that turned it from a guess into a one-line fix.
The A1 0.7.0 option now says what it costs you
Valeton Suite cannot import a 0.7.0 file, and it doesn't say so — it sits on "importing..." for around two minutes and then times out. That's expected: A1-only gear wants the 0.5.x format, which is why 0.5.x is the default and the one you should leave selected. But the toggle only said "newer NAM plugins", which wasn't blunt enough to stop someone spending a full training run to find out. It now names Valeton Suite directly.
Nothing changed about the conversion itself. If you already have working 0.5.x files, they're unaffected — there's no reason to re-convert anything for this release.
Also
- The 0.5.x option now names the GP-150 alongside the GP-5 and GP-50. It always worked; it just wasn't listed. Confirmed by a GP-150 owner across Draft, Standard and Best.

The CUDA bundles ship as numbered parts because GitHub caps one release file at 2 GiB. Rejoin them the same way as last release:
cat nam-a2a1-converter-linux-x86_64-cuda.tar.gz.0* > nam-a2a1-converter-linux-x86_64-cuda.tar.gz
sha256sum -c --ignore-missing nam-a2a1-converter-linux-x86_64-cuda.tar.gz.sha256

Requires an NVIDIA card of compute capability 5.0+ with a current driver. Apple silicon uses its GPU automatically — nothing to download. Signing is unchanged: macOS is signed + notarized, Windows is unsigned so SmartScreen warns — More info → Run anyway.
