Transformers issued an important change for the OPT models breaking their compatibility with all older versions. In order for people to be able to use all models on the menu they need 4.20.1 so this is now forced in the dependencies making the update easier.
Transformers 4.20 now requires accelerate to be installed for some of the features we use in KoboldAI. This is now a required dependency for updated users.
Makes transformers 4.20 mandatory in the dependency lists, not because the old versions are no longer supported but because it contains fixes that benefit our users and this makes it easier for them to update to it. If you stick to an older version the OPT and XGLM workarounds we have in place will remain functional, but you miss on the enhancements newer transformers versions bring.
Allows model creators to customize the welcome message using Markdown and Limited HTML
Existing United users need to run install_requirements..bat again, you can leave the existing dependencies intact.
First step towards native Colab support, built in Cloudflare tunnels easily allows players to play KoboldAI on another device. This mode also removes buttons that would get you stuck if you have no local PC access.
