1.2.0

RouterChat 1.2.0

RouterChat is back! This release brings a big round of redesigns across the app, prompt caching to help cut costs, a lot of brainstorm fixes, and RouterChat can now let you know when a new version is out. Support for more API providers is the next big goal, planned for 2.0.

This release updates the Terms of Service to cover update checks. You'll be asked to accept the revised terms after updating.

New

• Update checks: a dot appears next to the version number in the sidebar when a new release is out. It's on by default and can be turned off in Settings > Updates. RouterChat never sends usage data, and nothing is downloaded or installed automatically
• Prompt caching for chats and write mode, with cached reads shown in the Usage panel
• Setting to keep the prompt cache for 1 hour (on by default) and a toggle to turn prompt caching off
• Setting to hide batch models from the model picker
• The chat system prompt is now global for all chats and autosaves (uncaught bug was fixed)

Redesigns

• Settings is now a full page instead of a popup
• Lorebook is now a list with a side panel editor
• Brainstorm mode is easier to use and more visually appealing
• Write history got yet another makeover
• Terms of Service screen updated to be easier to read

Fixes/Changes

• Default model is now Sonnet 5
• The context wheel warns at 50, 75 and 90 percent full
• The Inter font is now bundled locally
• Fixed brainstorm showing empty after switching chapters
• Stopped or failed brainstorm prompts now show as cancelled or failed
• Navigation is blocked while a brainstorm is streaming
• Brainstorm rounds no longer overlap
• Fixed the saved default model not being used on page load
• Fixed the model name getting cut off in the phone composer
• Long lorebook entry titles now wrap instead of cutting off
• The "terms unavailable" popup now shows the real cause
• Updated the chat and write mode tours
