Venice is Burning

Venice is burning. 1/3 of our VVV token supply was burned, and we’ve rebranded.

Characters

• Fix an issue where character images crated with the character generator that were blurred were not showing the Safe Venice description on top.

• When editing a character, if you change the model and the context exceeds the model's new context, you'll now see an error presented on the context screen. Additionally, if you send a message that exceeds the context of the model server side, you'll get a character specific error directing you to change the character context.

• Improved context processing when conversations are nearing the maximum context of the mode.

API

App

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the sign out function occasionally requiring multiple calls.

• Fixed a bug where copying a WebP image using the contextual menu wouldn’t put the image on the clipboard.

• Fixed a bug with Safe Venice overlays appearing on non-adult images in some circumstances.

• Fixed a bug where under certain circumstances the user session token would not be refreshed before it expired. This would result in a screen suggesting the user’s clock was out of date.

• Fixed a UI quirk with API Key expiration dates where Safari would show a default date on the expiration selector despite the field being empty.
