Version 2.2.1

March 26, 2026

  • Shared streaming utility — New reusable module for all long-running server tasks with built-in keepalive support
  • Extended operation timeout — Increased the maximum allowed generation time to five minutes for complex videos

Character Studio — Reusable Character Library

A major new system for creating, managing, and reusing characters across vignettes. Characters are “living personas” with names, backstories, home locations, and visual reference portraits — like a TV series cast that audiences grow to recognise.

  • 14 regions — West Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, West Africa, East Africa, Southern Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Europe, North America, Caribbean, South America, and Oceania
  • Smart character rules — Automatic hijab enforcement, age-appropriate facial hair, and gender-aware rendering rules

Single Character Per Scene

Version 2.1.2

March 23, 2026

Multi-Engine Image Generation

  • Three rendering engines — Choose between “Fast Generation”, “Character Aware” (best for multi-character scenes), and “Scenic & Abstract” (best for landscapes and mood pieces)

  • Native character consistency — The Character Aware engine understands reference images natively, producing more accurate multi-character illustrations
  • Age-appropriate character rendering — Facial hair rules refined by age and gender for more natural-looking characters

Cancel Generation

  • Cancel button everywhere — Stop any in-progress image generation on hero images, storyboard panels, title cards, and artwork. Previous image is preserved on cancel
