Full Release Notes

Node Banana 1.7.0 adds new media nodes, GPT Image and video-to-video support, a searchable canvas menu, and a broad reliability pass.

## New nodes
- Image Resize: resize or scale an image to exact dimensions, with a maximum-size guard.
- GIF Encoder: combine frames or images into an animated GIF.
- Remove Background: one-click background removal that runs in the browser.

## Models
- GPT Image (OpenAI): image generation and editing with gpt-image-1 and gpt-image-2 through the OpenAI Images API. Set an OpenAI API key to use them.
- Replicate model search now returns the full catalogue instead of a subset, so every Replicate model is discoverable.
- Generate nodes accept a video or audio input, so video-to-video models (such as upscalers) and image- or audio-only generation run without a text prompt.

## Canvas
- Double-click or right-click an empty area of the canvas to open a searchable list of every node type, with keyboard navigation.

## Gallery and output
- Output and video galleries use precomputed thumbnails for faster browsing.
- Multiple and looped video outputs are collected into the gallery.
- Removing a gallery item removes the one you clicked, even when duplicates are present.

## Reliability and performance
- A single node throwing no longer takes down the app; failures are contained with an inline recovery option.
- Fixed a data-loss race when editing during an auto-save.
- More reliable resume after a pause edge.
- Stop now cancels in-progress video stitch, trim, and ease-curve encodes immediately.
- Oversized generated media is handled gracefully.
- Bounded caches, more resilient provider polling and downloads, and dependency-aware concurrent execution.
