Version 1.19.0 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 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. ## Recent NEWS: 1 Version 1.19.0 ════════════════ • Add an evaluation harness for comparing agent tool designs with local models. The new suite covers numbered read output, line-range editing, trace collection, JSONL export, profile comparisons, summaries, and interactive nonblocking runs. • Improve evaluation reliability by stabilizing JSONL output paths, avoiding active buffer overwrites, serializing nested result data correctly, counting worker steps consistently, and relaxing docstring checks so valid implementation edits are not rejected for harmless wording changes. • Improve tool output for local models by rendering single-entry `directory_tree' results without misleading branch prefixes and by formatting tool-result alists as readable named blocks instead of raw S-expressions. • Fix search and project tools by returning `default-directory' from `project_root' when no project is detected, explaining empty `grep' results, supporting string tool result names, and resolving relative grep directories against the current buffer directory. • Fix subagent buffer insertion so continuation turns append to the worker buffer, leave a blank line before each `Main agent:' prompt, and render `<think>' blocks as Org quote blocks in Org buffers. • Prefer newer Elisp source files during batch jobs to prevent stale bytecode from shadowing local edits in build, test, documentation, formatting, and refill targets. 2 Version 1.18.0 ════════════════ • Add optional Pandoc-backed Markdown to Org conversion. Users can configure `ellama-markdown-to-org-converter' to use the builtin converter, Pandoc, or automatic Pandoc detection while Ellama keeps the builtin converter as the default fallback when Pandoc is unavailable or conversion fails. 3 Version 1.17.2 ════════════════ • Fix JSON request sanitization for dotted pairs in provider non-standard parameters. OpenAI-compatible providers can now pass options such as `:search_options ((search_strategy . "agent"))' without triggering a `wrong-type-argument listp' error. 4 Version 1.17.1 ════════════════ • Hide provider values in transient provider selection. Provider completion candidates now show safe labels based on provider variable names instead of printed provider values, so secret-bearing provider structs are not exposed. • Keep transient provider updates compatible with callable provider keys from `llm'. Regression tests now cover hidden provider values, callable keys and selected-provider updates. • Keep saved sessions loadable without persisting plaintext provider keys. Session persistence now strips provider keys and unreadable tool functions before writing session files, restores keys from configured providers by default and can restore keys from `auth-source' when `ellama-session-persist-provider-keys' is set to `auth-source'. 5 Version 1.17.0 ════════════════ • Add maximum output token support. Ellama now exposes `ellama-max-tokens' and passes per-request `:max-tokens' values through `llm-make-chat-prompt', so providers can cap generated responses using their standard token limit support. The model transient menu can set or reset the max-token override, and documentation and tests cover the new behavior. 6 Version 1.16.3 ════════════════ • Sort saved session candidates newest first in `ellama-load-session'. Ellama now orders session files by modification time and exposes standard completion metadata so completion UIs can preserve that order. 7 Version 1.16.2 ════════════════ • Fix GNU ELPA tarball manual generation from `README.org'. Add Org export metadata so ELPA writes `ellama.texi' with a valid title, and keep the local manual exporter from inheriting those README-only export keywords. 8 Version 1.16.1 ════════════════ • Remove false statement from documentation. 9 Version 1.16.0 ════════════════ • Add image input support for prompts and context. Ellama can now attach image files to chat requests, queue image context ephemerally, and build multipart prompts for providers that support image media. • Add image-aware tool handling. The `read_file' tool can run in auto, text, or … …
