We are excited to share the release of Chat4Us-Creator version 0.6.0, a significant update packed with powerful new features focused on stability, control, and professional deployment. This release marks a big step forward for users who need robust, always-on chatbot services, especially in server environments.
Headless Operation with New NoGUI Server Mode
The flagship addition in 0.6.0 is the NoGUI Server/CLI console mode. This feature is designed for headless environments like cloud servers, virtual machines, or Docker containers. Now, you can deploy and run your Chat4Us-Creator instance entirely from the command line, without needing a graphical interface. This reduces resource usage and allows for reliable, continuous operation in the background. Perfect for production environments!
Learn all about setting up and using this powerful new mode in our updated User Guide.
Stronger Security & Certificate Management
Security and reliability are core to this update. We have introduced several improvements:
- CLI Certificate Import: You can now import SSL certificates directly via the command line, streamlining secure setup in NoGUI mode.
- Resolved Authentication Issues: Fixed problems that occurred when certificate generation or import failed, ensuring a smoother setup process.
- SSL Certificate Monitoring: The system now displays detailed certificate information and provides clear warnings for certificates expiring in less than one month, helping you avoid unexpected service interruptions.
Enhanced User Experience & Monitoring
Version 0.6.0 brings a more polished and informative experience:
- System Dark Mode Support: The GUI now automatically respects your operating system’s dark/light theme preference.
- Improved Real-Time Control: Chatbot servers, agents, and clients now support live state updates. Deactivation or removal of components results in immediate blocking, giving you precise, real-time control.
- Superior Logging: We’ve greatly enhanced logging. Dialog results and server commands are now recorded, log file names are clearer, and automatic log archiving is enabled to keep your data organized and accessible for debugging.
Under the Hood: Stability & Performance
As always, this release includes numerous minor bug fixes, feature enhancements, and code optimizations to make Chat4Us-Creator faster and more stable. The GUI components also see miscellaneous performance improvements for a snappier interface.
