 # v0.9.7, build 182 (2024-09-09 xx:xx UTC)
 - Added an introductory description to the provider settings.
+- Added an indicator for the current and maximal length of the provider instance name.
 - Fixed the bug that the model name for Fireworks was not loaded when editing the provider settings.
 - Improved hyphenation for continuous text so that the rules of the respective language are taken into account where possible.
 - Improved the rules for provider names: unnecessary restrictions from earlier versions have been removed. You can now use emojis in your provider names when you like.
