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.
