Update 1.2.0 Theme of update: Characters
1) Character files now represent images, all data about the characters is located within the image file. This makes it easy to exchange characters. Discord server TavernAI for sharing characters: https://discord.gg/zmK2gmr45t
You do not need to redesign your old characters in the new format, the conversion will happen automatically, old character files will not be deleted
2) Import function for characters is available, you can also import characters in the old TavernAI .json format, and you can also import characters from the Pygmalion notebook format
3) Export function for characters is available
4) The chat structure has been completely redesigned, now chats are located in the public/chats folder, chats now represent jsonl files, messages can be read one line at a time from such a file, this will help for future optimization when there are many messages
5) A new menu for selecting saved TavernAI chats is now available
Importing TavernAI chats is now available
Importing chats from CAI is now available
6) Additional advanced settings have been added for characters. A "Scenario" field has been added, as well as a "Dialogue Examples" field
7) Full support for the Pygmalion format has been added
A indicator now appears when special formatting for Pygmalion is enabled
8) Many other minor bugs have been fixed
9) charaCloud
As is known, character.ai is convenient because a lot of characters are immediately available with one click, but in offline projects, of course, there is none of that, it's time to fix it and make an open database. I am developing a new project called charaCloud - a server with characters that can be embedded in any chat interface via api, so it will also work within TavernAI. Since the database will be completely open, any developer can use it for their chat interface. The database can always be downloaded, so it will not disappear.

To update an old version to version 1.2.0, you simply need to copy files with replacement.
