+
+* Mobile-friendly page design
+* HotKeys
+ * Ctrl+Up = Connect to API
+ * Ctrl+Left = view localled stored variables (in the browser console window)

+
+* No more page refresh on character deletion
+* No more page refresh on user name change
+
+* Toggle option to automatically connect to API on page load (currently only for Kobold)
+* Toggle option to automatically load the most recently viewed character on page load
+* Better Token Counter - works on unsaved characters, and shows both permanent and temporary tokens.
+
+* Better Past Chats View
+ * New Chat filenames are saved in a readable format of "(character) - (when it was created)"
+ * Chat preview increased from 40 character to 300.
+
+* Now, by default the settings panel will close when you click away from it.
+* Clicking the Lock on the nav panel will hold the panel open, and this setting be remembered across sessions.
+* Nav panel status of open or closed will also be saved across sessions.
+
+## Installation
+
+*NOTE: This branch is intended for local install purposes, and has not been tested on a colab or other cloud notebook service.*
+
+ 1. install [NodeJS](nodejs.org)
+ 2. download the zip from this github
+ 3. unzip it into a folder of your choice
+ 4. run start.bat with aby double clicking or in a command line.
+ 5. Once the server has prepared everything for you, it will open a tab in your browser.
+
+## Remote connections
+
+Most often this is for people who want use TAI on their mobile phones while at home.
+If you want to enable other devices to connect to your TAI server, open 'config.conf' in a text editor, and change:
+
+```
+const whitelistMode = false;
+```
+to
+```
+const whitelistMode = true;
+```
+Save the file.
+Close, then restart your TAI server.
+
+You will now be able to connect from other devices.
+***Disclaimer: Anyone else who knows your IP address and TAI port number will be able to as well***
+
+To connect over wifi you'll need your PC's local wifi IP address
+ - (For Windows: windows button > type 'cmd.exe' in the search bar> type 'ipconfig' in the consol, hit Enter > "IPv4" listing)
+if you want other people around the internet to connect, check [here](https://whatismyipaddress.com/) for 'IPv4'
