Lemonade – v9.1.0

🚨 Lemonade v9.1.0 is LIVE — your local LLM powerhouse just got a major upgrade! 🍋

The brand-new Lemonade App (Windows .msi / Linux .deb) replaces the old browser UI with a sleek native experience. Here’s what’s fresh:

• 🎙️ ASR via whisper.cpp — transcribe audio right inside the app (toggle with env vars!)
• 📥 Built-in Model Downloader — no more terminal commands to grab GGUF/ONNX models
• 🔄 Switch LLMs & FLMs on the fly — test FLM2-1.2B-FLM with improved reasoning logic
• 📏 Smart Model Manager — filters by RAM usage so you don’t crash your system
• 🌐 Server now defaults to IPv4 — goodbye, localhost confusion

Under the hood:

• 🐳 Official Docker/CMake dev setup
• 💬 Chat UI now shows FLM “thinking” in collapsible boxes
• 📚 Debate Arena docs live + Jan model fix shipped
• 💥 All-in-one installer: app + server bundled. Minimal server still available for headless use

Pro tip: Click the model dropdown — it actually loads models now. And yes, you can collapse thinking by default.

Shoutout to @danielholanda, @jeremyfowers, and @Geramy — you’ve built something wild.

Download. Play. Break it. Fix it. Repeat. 😎
