v0.98.0

What's Changed

MR: #472
Full Changelog: v0.97.5...v0.98.0

Addresses:
#469

Includes:

• Add support for multiple --mcp-servers-files arguments by @szmania in #473
• Add agent model display and configuration improvements by @szmania in #470
• Modify ShowNumberedContext into ShowContext for content based targeting for stable hashline/hashpos based edits
• Add "rules"-like file support to allow dynamically loadable files similar to what AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md are used for
• Add --rules argument and /rules command to support the above
• Agent mode lints files as it edits them to detect syntax errors and ameliorate them during operation
• Modify similarity detection so it is less intrusive
• Change hashline/hashpos seperator since most LLM tokenizers see double colons as a single token (nice on the eyes, nice for the machine)
• Conversation system decomposition into an instance-able set of base classes that will support multiple context streams for sub-agent development
• Memory usage improvements by using GitPython's GitCmdObjectDB and general caching to search through the underlying git repository for generation of the repository map
• Agent mode prompt updates to make the steps more easily accomplishable to the models and use slightly fewer tokens
• Make available commands easier to search through by matching sub strings after start strings
• Fix quoted file names being incorrectly spliced in the /add-like commands
• Allow sending/injecting messages while a generation task is running in the TUI to increase general real-time steerability

0.97.5

Addresses:

• #436
• #462

Includes:

• Use the configured shell when tool command is called by @jasonbcox in #465

• Prevent unneeded test commands from running
• Allow Grep tool to work on single files
• Allow wrapped lines in the TUI to be moved through vertically instead of automatically navigating between input prompts

New Contributors

v0.97.2

What's Changed

MR: #452
Full Changelog: v0.97.1...v0.97.2

• #449
• #450

Includes:

• Add ability to set agent model in config and add in-chat command by @gopar in #444
• New hashline edit format both standalone and as the vehicle for agent mode since it simplifies text replacement

v0.97.0

What's Changed

MR: #438
Full Changelog: v0.96.10...v0.97.0

• #441

Includes:

• task() method exported from cecli.main to run system programmatically as a part of another program

• Automatic command backgrounding so agent cannot get stuck on miscalled, non-exiting command
• New key bindings for TUI (input_start, input_end, output_up, and output_down)

v0.96.10
