What is new in OpenOats 1.88.1
## Fixed - The Ask tab in saved meetings could cut off long answers mid-sentence without any indication, because it inherited a 512-token completion budget meant for short structured completions. Ask now gets an 8,192-token budget, and a truncated answer shows a length-limit warning with a Continue action that picks up where it left off. ([#727](https://github.com/yazinsai/OpenOats/issues/727), [#728](https://github.com/yazinsai/OpenOats/pull/728) by [@gthay](https://github.com/gthay)) ## Docs - README's "Pick any LLM" feature bullet now mentions Requesty alongside OpenRouter as a supported cloud provider. ([#725](https://github.com/yazinsai/OpenOats/pull/725) by [@Thibaultjaigu](https://github.com/Thibaultjaigu)) ## Housekeeping - Homebrew cask bumped to track the 1.88.0 release (it had been stuck on 1.87.1) and its `depends_on` relaxed to macOS 14.2+, matching #721's Sonoma support. ([#729](https://github.com/yazinsai/OpenOats/pull/729))
