v0.2.0

Release v0.2.0

New Features

• Azure OpenAI Service Integration: This release introduces support for Azure OpenAI services. Users can now configure the application to connect to their Azure OpenAI deployments, in addition to the standard OpenAI API.
  • Configuration for Azure services (API key, endpoint, and API version) can be set via environment variables or a .env file.
  • A new "Service Type" selector has been added to the UI, allowing users to switch between "OpenAI (Standard)" and "Azure OpenAI" at runtime.
  • The application will dynamically fetch available models or use appropriate defaults (e.g., gpt-35-turbo for Azure) based on the selected service.

Enhancements

• Improved Configuration:
  • A STARTUP_SERVICE_TYPE environment variable can now be set to define the default service (OpenAI or Azure) used when the application starts.
  • The README.md has been updated with detailed instructions for configuring and using both standard OpenAI and Azure OpenAI services.
• User Interface:
  • The "Service Type" dropdown will indicate if Azure OpenAI is not configured on the backend and will default to standard OpenAI in such cases.
  • Minor improvement to error message display on the frontend.

Technical Changes

• The backend OpenAIClient has been refactored to support initialization for both OpenAI and AzureOpenAI SDKs.
• API endpoints for fetching models and generating text now accommodate the selected service_type.
• The .env.example file has been updated with new variables for Azure configuration.
