v1.0.6(5) - Release

macLlama Release Notes - Version 1.0.6(5)

• Bug Fix: Resolved an issue where the history list was not cleared properly after deleting all entries. Users will now see a truly empty history list after removing all previous interactions.
• Model Name Formatting (Hugging Face): The application now removes the hf.co/username/ prefix from models from the Hugging Face in model selection view.

v1.0.6(4) - Release

macLlama Release Notes - Version 1.0.6(4)

This release incorporates all features and improvements from the previous experimental release, 1.0.6(3).

Key Changes:

• Thinking Process Handling: macLlama now includes support for handling the "Thinking" process generated by language models. This allows for a more visually informative and user-friendly experience during model generation, providing real-time feedback on the model’s progress. This feature is particularly effective with models like DeepSeek R1 and Qwen 3, which utilize streaming responses with "Thinking" markers.

Important Note: This new "Thinking" process feature requires Ollama version 0.9.0 or later. Please update Ollama to the latest version using the following command in terminal.

brew upgrade ollama

Failure to update Ollama may result in errors or unexpected behavior.

v1.0.6(3) - macLlama Experimental Release

macLlama Experimental Release Notes - Version 1.0.6(3)

This release focuses on improving performance and stability within the macLlama experimental build. Please read the details below for information on changes and temporary adjustments.

Key Changes:

• Improved Conversation List Performance: We've identified and addressed a performance bottleneck in the main thread related to fetching and displaying the list of conversations. To resolve this, sorting and filtering of conversation lists are now handled in a background process. This should result in significantly faster loading and a more responsive user experience.
• Markdown Rendering Adjustment: To ensure optimal responsiveness during answer generation, Markdown rendering has been temporarily disabled while macLlama is generating new responses. This change avoids performance issues within the Markdown rendering engine and maintains a smooth generation process.

We appreciate your continued feedback as we develop macLlama.

Important: This is a pre-release version and may contain bugs. Please report any issues you encounter.

This pre-release build of macLlama introduces several enhancements and new features. We appreciate your feedback as we continue to refine the application.

New Features & Improvements:

Please note that Japanese translations are currently generated by an LLM and may not be fully accurate or natural. We are actively seeking feedback from native Japanese speakers to improve the quality of the translation.

Known Issues & Considerations:

• This is a pre-release build and may contain bugs.
• Japanese language support is currently machine-translated and requires community feedback for improvement. Please report any inaccuracies or awkward phrasing.
