AronaChat v1.2.0 — A Bigger Update Than The Version Number Suggests

Today, I completed AronaChat v1.2.0!
Although this is only a minor version bump, it actually includes a lot of major improvements and new features.
In this update, I added multi-provider support, custom models, the new Ethereal Light theme, and many other improvements. There are still many things to polish, but I’m working hard to turn AronaChat into something that we can genuinely use in our daily lives — not just a project.
The current codebase has grown into a very complex system, so I’m planning to deploy the Public Demo version tomorrow.
But this Public Demo is not just a temporary showcase. My goal is to make it a long-term usable product. You will be able to connect your own API providers and use AronaChat with your own services.
To protect your privacy and security, the current version includes encrypted API key storage and multiple layers of security protection to keep your credentials as safe as possible.
Due to storage and cost considerations, each user will have a fixed storage quota. If the limit is exceeded, attachments will be automatically removed using a FIFO (First In, First Out) rolling deletion system.
For chat history, I’ll try my best to keep conversations stored for as long as possible while maintaining reasonable operating costs.
Thank you for following the development of AronaChat!
This is still just the beginning, and I hope it can become a tool that people truly enjoy using.
