Version 1.29.0 of package Ellama has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Ellama describes itself as: ============================== Tool for interacting with LLMs ============================== More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ellama.html ## Summary: ━━━━━━━━ ELLAMA ━━━━━━━━ [file:https://img.shields.io/badge/license-GPL_3-green.svg] [file:https://melpa.org/packages/ellama-badge.svg] [file:https://stable.melpa.org/packages/ellama-badge.svg] [file:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ellama.svg] Ellama brings large language models into Emacs without turning Emacs into a web app. You can use it for ordinary chat, one-shot commands over the current buffer or region, and longer sessions that keep their history. It also has agent loops for work that needs several steps: make a plan, call tools, read project context, and continue from the previous turn. ## Recent NEWS: 1 Version 1.29.0 ════════════════ • Added `ellama-setup-agentic-coding' to configure long-running coding-agent defaults. This profile enables DLP enforcement, fail-closed DLP behavior, session compaction, visible sub-agent sessions, and longer agent loop limits. In non-SRT mode, ordinary DLP findings ask first while normal confirmations stay active; in SRT mode, ordinary input findings are allowed and ordinary output findings are redacted, with irreversible findings still blocked. Tests cover non-SRT, SRT, and secure modes. • Removed obsolete problem solver commands `ellama-solve-reasoning-problem' and `ellama-solve-domain-specific-problem' from the codebase and the main transient menu, along with the `ellama-chain' function they relied upon. • Updated the README onboarding section to refresh Installation references around GNU ELPA, Ollama, and added an explicit `qwen3.6:35b' agentic setup example. • Documented the new `ellama-setup-agentic-coding' profile and split Commands and Configuration sections into smaller groups for easier navigation. Regenerated `ellama.info'. 2 Version 1.28.0 ════════════════ • Audio input support: audio files can now be attached alongside images in prompts, with provider capability validation. Includes transient entries, key bindings, a recording lighter in the mode line, and microphone recording commands. `ellama-read-file' can queue audio files for the next model turn, exposing audio mode in customization and tool metadata. • Audio recording backends: on startup, auto-selects the available recorder by platform — FFmpeg or SoX on macOS, arecord/FFmpeg/SoX on GNU/Linux. Fallback failures include the recorder's output and a macOS microphone-permission hint. • Recording normalization: default FFmpeg recordings are processed through a configurable dynamic audio normalization filter so quiet speech reaches audio models at a usable level. • Provider type selection: `ellama-transient' now supports selecting LLM provider types (Ollama, Claude, Gemini, etc.) via `ellama-transient-provider-types' and `ellama-transient-set-provider-type', with improved error handling during streamed responses. • Self-check step in plan-and-act: the workflow now appends an unstepped "Check yourself" entry to the checklist, allowing manual review before the acting phase. • Silent buffer revert after editing file: calls `revert-buffer' after `save-buffer' to stop Emacs from asking whether to revert a file that was just written. • File buffer refresh after shell commands: file-visiting buffers under the shell command working directory are refreshed silently after command completion, without prompting. • Non-interactive shell environment: `shell_command' sets `TERM=dumb' and `NO_COLOR=true' for subprocesses, preserving pager normalization. • Improved truncated output hints: line-range reporting now shows accurate output and source line counts, includes the configured line budget in guidance, and keeps saved-output hints scoped to results without known sources. • Line range edge cases: when the requested end exceeds the file length, `lines_range' returns available lines with a warning instead of failing. Ranges that start past EOF still error. • Documentation: README sections rewritten for clarity and brevity; audio input commands and workflows documented in a dedicated section; `ellama.info' regenerated from the updated Org source. • Updated `llm' dependency from 0.30.2 to 0.31.1. 3 Version 1.27.2 ════════════════ • Fixed `make' recipes when a sandboxed caller inherits a stale `TMPDIR'. Ellama now keeps valid temporary directories and falls back to `/tmp' only when the inherited directory no longer exists, which prevents Org from failing while loading during `srt make check-elisp'. 4 Version 1.27.1 ════════════════ • Added copyright notice to `extract-commands.el' script. 5 Version 1.27.0 ════════════════ • Added `ellama-undo-on-error'. Users can now choose whether failed LLM requests roll back partial buffer changes or leave the generated text in place. … …
