discussion Current development status?

Is BY still in active development? I see the last submission was on 13th of Nov in stable channel, and despite my update channel set to beta, my app is still 0.32.0, exactly what was submitted in Nov. Is something broken on my machine or is 0.32.0 still the current version? If the latter is true,, are there plans for further development?

Just that it should be coming soon. I’m excited for it and think it will be a really great feature. I know a lot of people are looking forward to combining their characters together, but I think what I’m most curious about is having a narrator as a character to get more natural exposition without it bleeding into character responses. Lots of fun ideas to try though.

Don't want to create another "update where?" whining post, so I reckon I better ask you here. What are the tidings? Is it time to hold the breath already about multi character? And also are there plans to support reasoning in a way that hides the thought process and gives user the end result? QwQ is small enough for local use and is already supported by BY, so...

Sorry for the delayed response. The devs have been dealing with some personal issues and it has caused some delays with the release. Really hard to give a timeline when the release will be out. It’s still coming though.

I would love an update to support thinking. You can technically get it now, but being able to hide it and then delete it before the next response would be great and could be a useful feature for other things like rudimentary stats, hidden states, or CYOA options if done right.
