Vella 2.1.1

• Updating from 0.8 keeps your model. A Parakeet v3 4-bit or 8-bit download from Vella 0.8 stays your dictation model and runs as it is, with no download. 2.0 and 2.1.0 dropped it when its 16-bit source wasn't on the Mac, and the next dictation offered to download a model. If that happened to you, 2.1.1 selects your earlier download again the first time it opens and says so. Get the 16-bit source in Models… to move to the measured precision; your earlier download is kept.
