SmartHopper 0.3.5-alpha: AI Model Discovery

[marc-romu]

This alpha release introduces a new component for discovering available AI models from your selected provider, alongside several under-the-hood improvements to provider communication and UI refinements.

🤖 New AIModels Component

A new AIModels component has been added under the "SmartHopper" > "AI" tab. This component connects to your currently selected AI provider and lists all the available models, making it easier to see what options you have for your AI-powered workflows.

✨ Enhancements & Fixes

• Provider Communication: We've improved how SmartHopper communicates with AI providers for more reliable model retrieval.
• UI Updates: The "About" dialog has been refreshed, and we've removed the MathJax integration for a cleaner interface.
• Code Quality: Various refactoring and code style fixes have been applied to improve maintainability and performance.

🛠️ Technical Requirements

• Rhino 8.19 or above is required
• Windows 10/11 (macOS has not been tested)
• Valid API keys for MistralAI, OpenAI, or DeepSeek

⚠️ Important Notes

• This is an alpha release with some features still unstable or subject to change.
• API keys are required, and usage costs apply based on your provider.
• Documentation is currently under development.
