v7.2.2 - Mistral/Deepseek confab

Release notes largely repeat the ones for v7.2.0 because this is a patch release...except for adding the new Mistral model.

Bug fixes

• v7.2.1 - Thanks to @NQDM-paul-sinclair for pointing out the single flipping missing comma, which caused v7.2.0 installation to fail!

• v7.2.2 - Also fixed the new stella-400M embedding model

Deprecation Notices

• The longstanding "instructor" embedding models have finally been superseded. They've been removed from the Models tab so you can no longer download them. Make sure to recreate any vector databases you've created with them because support will be removed in the next release.

Upgrade Instructions

For first time installation follow the github readme

INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPGRADING FROM A PRIOR VERSION

To upgrade from a prior version while still keeping your databases and models that were downloaded, perform the following steps:

• In your directory that contains all of the files currently...delete the Include, Lib, Scripts folders. (pertain to your virtual environment)
• Delete the pyvenv.cfg file. (pertains to your virtual environment)
• At this point, any and all files pertaining to your virtual environment are gone.
• Delete the Assets and CSS folders. (new ones will be provided in their entirety further below)
• Extract all the files from the .zip file for this release v7.2.2 and go into the src folder.
• Copy all files and folders EXCEPT THE CONFIG.YAML FILE into the aforementioned folder where you virtual environment USED TO BE. If there are any prompts indicating that files will be overwritten, CLICK YES since we're only updating necessary files now.
• EXCEPT THE CONFIG.YAML FILE!
