On 10th November, I embarked on the development journey of AirRepsGPT for our vibrant AirReps community. This endeavor was a monumental task, demanding significant time and effort to elevate the quality of our product. Over the course of 10 days, a total of 33 hours were dedicated by me, being the sole developer working on the Discord Bot itself, to expanding the capabilities of AirRepsGPT.

In this short span, we witnessed remarkable progress, transitioning from version 1.0.0 to the more robust 1.2.22. The relentless dedication to improvement doesn't cease here; we have ambitious plans to continually nurture AirReps into something truly exceptional.

Below is a curated list of some noteworthy changelog entries, highlighting the advancements made for the benefit of our end users.
