Heretic 2.0 released: Model modification for everyone

Heretic 2.0 has been released, marking a significant update to the leading software for language model modification. This version expands its capabilities beyond censorship removal to include suppressing 'slop,' reducing sycophancy, and altering emotional alignment. Key improvements include the introduction of Arbitrary-Rank Ablation (ARA) as a new steering method, a complete rebuild around a plugin architecture, and enhanced support for various model types. Heretic 2.0 is not backwards compatible with 1.x configurations.

Heretic 2.0 moves beyond its original censorship removal focus to become a general-purpose model modification tool, unlike earlier versions that were purpose-built.
