- Added experimental support for Chatterbox and Chatterbox Turbo text-to-speech (requires a specific configuration - will need to write a guide).

- Renamed the "AI Reminders" button to "Problems?" and changed its icon, to reduce confusion.
- Added a new "Wrong Speech Styles" injection prompt useful in case the model is confusing speech patterns, such as when one character is speaking the same way as someone else.
- Added the Asset Quality option in the Settings menu, allowing users to switch between high quality and low quality models, with a noticeable performance improvement, especially on low-end hardware, for selecting the latter option.
- More improvements to the Pollinations API provider: removed free models that do not work properly and automatically refresh the model list when the user is inputting an API key or is removing it.
