Full Changelog

New features:

Improvements:

• added setting in Reference documents to control the threshold of how long a document needs to be before it is summarised instead of injected wholly into the context

• display character full name in chat instead of just the first name

• you can share text with Layla to start a chat with that text

Bug fixes:

• fixed a bug where character sorting changes back to the default after exiting chat

• fixed a bug where tool calls are included in long-term memory messages

• fixed a bug where Layla crashes on importing a huge TavernPNG card
