v0.74.0

• Dynamically changes the Ollama context window to hold the current chat.

• Better support for o3-mini, DeepSeek V3 & R1, o1-mini, o1 via secondary API providers.

• Remove <think> tags from R1 responses for commit messages (and other weak model uses).

• Can now specify use_temperature: <float> in model settings, not just true/false.

• The full docker container now includes boto3 for Bedrock.

• Docker containers now set HOME=/app which is the normal project mount-point, to persist

~/.aider.

• Bugfix to prevent creating incorrect filenames like python, php, etc.

• Bugfix for --timeout

• Bugfix so that /model now correctly reports that the weak model is not changed.

• Bugfix so that multi-line mode persists through ^C at confirmation prompts.

• Watch files now fully ignores top-level directories named in ignore files, to reduce the

chance of hitting OS watch limits. Helpful to ignore giant subtrees like node_modules.

• Fast startup with more providers and when model metadata provided in local files.

• Improved .gitignore handling:

• Honor ignores already in effect regardless of how they've been configured.

• Check for .env only when the file exists.

• Yes/No prompts now accept All/Skip as alias for Y/N even when not processing a group of

confirmations.

• Aider wrote 77% of the code in this release.
