Lemonade – v10.0.1
🚨 Lemonade v10.0.1 is out — and it’s a big one for local LLM lovers! 🍋⚡
Here’s what’s fresh in this release:
🔥 Linux Love & Packaging Overhaul**
- 📦 Debian/Ubuntu users: `.deb` files are gone — install via the official PPA:
“`bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lemonade-team/stable
sudo apt install lemonade-server
“`
- 🐧 Fedora 43 + `.rpm`, `.AppImage` support added!
- 🐳 Docker images now include FastFlowLM (FLM) and `libwebsockets`.
- 🖥️ Linux now has system tray support via AppIndicator3.
🧠 GGUF & Model Performance Boost**
- 🚀 LLaMA.cpp uplifted to commit `b8460` — includes Qwen3.5 optimizations, especially for NPU acceleration!
- 🧬 Qwen3.5-4B now runs on NPU (via FastFlowLM) — faster, leaner, and way more efficient.
- 🔍 GGUF model discovery is cleaner: only text-generation models show up in the Hugging Face search. Less noise, more speed!
🛠️ Polish & Fixes**
- ✅ `ffmpeg` now recommended for Whisper audio conversion.
- 🚫 Mic disabled on insecure Windows sessions (security win!).
- ⚙️ Config overrides via `conf.d/` directory — easier customization.
- 📦 Standalone CLI tool added for power users.
- 🖼️ UI upgrades: revamped model selection + TTS voice combobox.
- 🔒 Streaming errors handled better — no more stuck responses!
- 🪙 Windows installers are now signed (thanks, SignPath!).
