  Ellama is a tool for interacting with large language models from
  Emacs. It allows you to ask questions and receive responses from the
  LLMs. Ellama can perform various tasks such as translation, code review,
  summarization, enhancing grammar/spelling or wording and more through
  the Emacs interface. Ellama natively supports streaming output, making
  it effortless to use with your preferred text editor.

  The name "ellama" is derived from "Emacs Large LAnguage Model
  Assistant". Previous sentence was written by Ellama itself.

## Recent NEWS:

1 Version 1.12.16
═════════════════

  • Improve ephemeral context behavior for interactive commands.
    `ellama-ask-about', `ellama-code-review', `ellama-write', and
    `ellama-code-add' now explicitly add region/buffer context as
    ephemeral for one request.
  • Add safer region replacement flow for editing commands.
    `ellama-stream' now accepts `:replace-beg' and `:replace-end' to
    replace text in place, and restore buffer content on request errors.
    `ellama-change', `ellama-code-edit', `ellama-code-improve', and
    `ellama-make-format' now use this path.
  • Improve request cancellation handling across related buffers.
    Request state is now tracked as a shared request context, so
    cancellation through `C-g' works consistently from both main and
    reasoning buffers and does not affect unrelated active requests.
  • Fix chat session recovery after buffer revert.  Session resolution
    now uses stable runtime UIDs and restores session state after
    `revert-buffer', improving robustness across renames and legacy
    session files.
  • Add development helper targets to the Makefile.  New targets: `make
    format-elisp' for formatting project Elisp files and `make
    test-detailed' for running tests with detailed ERT failure output.


2 Version 1.12.15
═════════════════

  • Fix compilation warnings. This change resolves compilation warnings
    found during building.


3 Version 1.12.14
═════════════════

  • Add fake streaming helpers and new stream tests. Introduce
    `ellama-test--fake-stream-partials' and
    `ellama-test--run-with-fake-streaming' to simplify test setup for
    streaming LLM responses. Refactor existing tests to use these
    helpers. Add tests for `ellama-stream' output to a log buffer and
    for retry logic when a fake tool‑call error is raised. These changes
    improve test readability and cover new streaming scenarios.
  • Add tests for ellama helper functions and error handling. Introduce
    unit tests covering `ellama-remove-reasoning', mode-derived helpers,
    tool call error detection, error handler retry logic on tool errors,
    error handling for non-tool errors, chat-done callback behavior, and
    setup to use local ellama-tools. These tests validate correct
    behavior and edge cases.
  • Correct tool argument handling, enable‑by‑name, and edit‑file
    logic. Update `ellama-tools-wrap-with-confirm' to use each
    argument’s plist for type resolution, prevent type removing. Guard
    `ellama-tools-enable-by-name-tool' against adding a nil tool when
    the name is missing. Simplify `ellama-tools-edit-file-tool' to use
    replace-match for robust replacement. Add extensive ERT tests
    covering argument type preservation, enable‑by‑name nil‑check,
    edit‑file replacement at file start, confirmation caching, reply,
    and denial flows, file read/write/append/prepend/directory
    tree/move/line range/patch application validations, role and
    provider resolution logic, subagent loop step limits, task tool role
    fallback and priority handling.
  • Add test for context prompt clearing ephemerals. Introduce a new ERT
    test `test-ellama-context-prompt-with-context-clears-ephemeral' that
    verifies `ellama-context-prompt-with-context' returns the combined
    prompt string and clears the ellama-context-ephemeral list. The test
    also ensures that `ellama-context-global' remains intact after the
    prompt is generated, confirming that ephemerals are not persisted
    across prompts.
  • Add comprehensive tests for ellama skill handling. Implemented a
    suite of unit tests covering skill frontmatter parsing, directory
    scanning with filtering of invalid or hidden skills, project
    directory resolution, ordering of global and local skills, and
    prompt generation for both empty and populated skill lists.
  • Add blueprint tests. Updated the Makefile test target to run the new
    ellama‑blueprint tests and added tests/test-ellama-blueprint.el
    which exercises blueprint loading, variable handling, selection, and
    command execution.
  • Add community prompts tests and refactor download logic. Implemented
    comprehensive unit tests for community prompts, updated Makefile to
    run the
