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 1.28.0
════════════════
• 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.
2 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'.
3 Version 1.27.1
════════════════
• Added copyright notice to `extract-commands.el' script.
4 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.
• Made plan-and-act and subagent loops more resilient after LLM
failures. The loops continue after the first error, compact the
session after repeated errors, resume after successful compaction,
and stop cleanly when compaction cannot recover the session.
• Made subagent tool errors part of the conversation instead of
aborting the provider tool-use path. Synchronous and asynchronous
tool failures are now returned as tool results so the worker can
inspect the error and keep going.
• Added preflight session compaction before oversized requests are
sent. This covers regular `ellama-stream' calls and plan-and-act
controller turns, and it resumes the deferred request in the target
session buffer after compaction.
• Changed edit tools to use asynchronous hook handling. Hooks no
longer block the Emacs UI, while agents still receive the tool
result only after the hooks have finished.
• Tightened project checks. Byte and native compiler warnings now fail
`make check-elisp', README custom-variable coverage is checked,
and documented public commands are checked against real
interactive commands.
