Summary

Full notes

- Dynamically changes the Ollama context window to hold the current chat.
- Better support for o3-mini, DeepSeek V3 & R1, o1-mini, o1 via secondary API providers.
- Remove `<think>` tags from R1 responses for commit messages (and other weak model uses).
- Can now specify `use_temperature: <float>` in model settings, not just true/false.
- The full docker container now includes `boto3` for Bedrock.
- Docker containers now set `HOME=/app` which is the normal project mount-point, to persist
`~/.aider`.
- Bugfix to prevent creating incorrect filenames like `python`, `php`, etc.
- Bugfix for `--timeout`
- Bugfix so that `/model` now correctly reports that the weak model is not changed.
- Bugfix so that multi-line mode persists through ^C at confirmation prompts.
- Watch files now fully ignores top-level directories named in ignore files, to reduce the
chance of hitting OS watch limits. Helpful to ignore giant subtrees like `node_modules`.
- Fast startup with more providers and when model metadata provided in local files.
- Improved .gitignore handling:
  - Honor ignores already in effect regardless of how they've been configured.
  - Check for .env only when the file exists.
- Yes/No prompts now accept All/Skip as alias for Y/N even when not processing a group of
confirmations.
- Aider wrote 77% of the code in this release.
