Release and use
V5.2 was released in June 2023, with the developer highlighting changed responsiveness to stylisation. This concerns the relationship between parameters and output, not complete user access to the internal process.

Change in creative practice
A numerical style setting may look precise, but it is not a scientific measurement of a historical style. It is an operation within a particular model. Retaining comparisons made with the same prompt can document what the control actually changes, without reading an interface number as a scale of aesthetic quality.
