Introduction​

We released the AskUI Installer version 24.4.1 which introduces new commandlets to start and stop the AskUI Controller, debug AskUI projects and processes.

Removed the icon classifier from the default inference. You can still target icons with icon().withText('<icon_name>') so the change is backwards compatible. But the name will not be displayed anymore. This discourages using the names of the icons as they are flaky across runs generally and often wrong.

Lastly we optimized our inference backend. This leads to faster workflow execution as it saves 300 - 700 milliseconds each time an instruction in an AskUI workflow invokes inference.
