🪟 Release notes for the Windows version (🆕v9):

- Changes to the default Gemini/Gemma model options:
- Added support for the Gemma 4 series as an option!
- Uses Gemini Flash Lite Latest as the new default model, because at least right now, Gemma 4 is really slow on Google's end -- at least for the free API. Might get better in the future!

• Per-button hotkeys! Finally :D (click the "Edit" icon at the top left of the pop-up to tweak the buttons!)
  You can now set Proofread to ctrl+` or ctrl+j, and have it instantly proofread after you select text :)

• Significantly improved stability on all PCs!
  Fixes #218 and #217 (and more; will clean up issues later)

• The Writing Tools pop-up now shows up significantly faster

• Deprecated the "Chat with your AI" pop-up that showed when no text was selected.

➡️ You simply need to drag and drop the new Writing Tools.exe to replace your old one :)

Known Issues:

1. On some devices, Writing Tools may not work correctly with the default hotkey.
   To fix it, simply change the default ctrl+space hotkey to ctrl+` or ctrl+j and restart Writing Tools.
   PS: If a hotkey is already in use by a program or background process, Writing Tools may not be able to intercept it. The above hotkeys are usually unused.

2. The initial launch of the Writing Tools.exe might take unusually long — this seems to be because AV software extensively scans this new executable before letting it run. Once it launches into the background in RAM, it works instantly as usual.
