• Updated the default weak model for Gemini 2.5 Pro models to gemini/gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17.

• The aider-args utility (or python -m aider.args) now defaults to printing a sample YAML configuration if no arguments are provided.

• Displayed token count progress and the name of the file or identifier being processed during repo map updates.
