Breaking Changes

●Issue #1

The ExLlama backend has been removed because it is deprecated in favor of newer loaders like ExLlamaV2 or llama.cpp.

●Issue #2

The Bark backend has been removed because the upstream project is unmaintained; users should switch to the new TTS alternatives.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    If you were using the ExLlama backend, migrate to ExLlamaV2 or llama.cpp.
  2. 2
    If you were using the Bark TTS backend, migrate to one of the new TTS alternatives (e.g., VoxCPM, Qwen-TTS, Piper).

Release Summary
