Hey AI tinkerers! 🚀

Mantella v0.14_preview_1 just dropped — and it’s turning Skyrim and Fallout 4 NPCs into living, breathing conversationalists.

• 🚫 Fast responses disabled in radiant dialogue — less spam, more soul. Perfect for immersive storytelling.
• 🎮 New advanced actions — trigger NPCs based on proximity, state, or events. Build smarter worlds.
• ⚙️ Standalone LLM framework for function calling — cleaner, more powerful logic behind the scenes.
• Italics now parse correctly — emphasis and lore-heavy lines? Done right.
• 📅 Day tracking in prompts — NPCs remember how long you’ve been gone. World feels alive.
• 🔧 All tool parameters exposed — no black boxes. Tinker to your heart’s content.

This isn’t just an update—it’s the future of in-game dialogue. Go make NPCs that feel real. 🌟

• 🌐 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. 😎
