🚀 big-AGI 1.7.0 - Attachment Theory

1.7.0 rolls in with a game-changing attachment system and more, just in time for the holidays. 🌐✨

Attachments System Overhaul: the attachments system is brand new. You can now attach files in more than 6 ways, ensuring flexibility and efficiency in bringing content into your conversations:
- Open files directly
- Drag and drop from File Explorer or IDE
- Paste screenshots or copied images
- Snap photos using the webcam (Labs feature)
- Use the 'paste' button (Shift + Ctrl + V) for quick clipboard access
- Paste URLs for automatic embedding
Intelligent File Conversion: The new system converts files to the optimal format for your active Chat LLM, enhancing the chat experience with various content types - for instance:
- PDFs are automatically converted to text
- Images undergo OCR for text extraction (for non-vision networks)
- HTML tables are transformed into Markdown
- HTML can be as-is or text
- Text remains as text within Markdown blocks for consistency
Desktop Webcam access for direct image uploads. (Labs) The image is OCR'd (for now), and soon fun modes will be enabled with Vision
Overheat LLMs, raising the maximum model 'temperature' to 2 (can lead to instability, but can also be very creative)
Oobabooga/Text-Generation-WebUI: fix support
Ollama: update to the latest models
Quick model settings access via Ctrl+Shift+O
Optimized voice input and app performance
Cosmetic improvements to the UI
