# Release v1.0.2
**"The Lightweight Release"**
This release focuses on removing bloat and switching to a native approach for punctuation, resulting in a significantly faster and smaller application.
## 🚀 Key Changes
### 1. Style Prompting (Replaces Grammar Model)
We have removed the heavy "Grammar Correction" model (M2M100) and replaced it with **Style Prompting**.
* **How it works**: Uses Whisper's internal context awareness to force proper punctuation.
* **New Settings**: Go to `Settings -> AI Engine` to choose a style:
* **Standard**: (Default) Forces full sentences and proper punctuation.
* **Casual**: Relaxed, lowercase style.
* **Custom**: Enter your own prompt context.
### 2. Bloat Removal
* **Removed**: `transformers`, `sentencepiece`, `accelerate` libraries.
* **Removed**: `grammar-m2m100` model downloader and logic.
* **Impact**: The application is lighter, installs faster, and uses less RAM.
### 3. Stability Fixes
* **Fixed**: `NameError: 'torch' is not defined` when using Low VRAM Mode.
* **Fixed**: Bootstrapper now self-repairs missing dependencies if the environment gets corrupted.
## 📦 Installation
