gitwhisper 1.0.0

AI-powered Git commit message generator that whispers the perfect commit message for your changes

1.0.0

• Added gw commit --dry-run to generate and print the commit message without creating a commit, pushing, or tagging.
• Showed live ACP agent tool activity (scanning files, reading diffs, blame, etc.) with filenames while a local agent works, instead of a silent wait. Recognizes both GitWhisper MCP tool calls and the read-only git commands agents run through their own shell.
• Loaded the ACP registry from a fresh on-disk cache first (6h TTL), keeping the commit hot path off the network; gw acp cache refresh forces a network refresh.
• Added a shorter, fail-fast timeout for the ACP initialize handshake with a clear hint when an agent is still downloading on first run or needs authentication.
• Enabled agent mode by default for tool-capable providers: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Llama, DeepSeek, GitHub Models, Ollama, Codex, and Claude Code. Models without tool support automatically use direct-diff mode.
• Switched local Codex and Claude Code providers to ACP registry-backed local agents instead of direct CLI prompt execution.
• Added ACP registry commands: gw acp list, info, resolve, install, cache path, and cache refresh.
• Added binary ACP distribution support for agents that do not publish an npx package.
• Added ACP authentication retry support so local agents can launch terminal or agent auth flows and continue the original request.
• Added ACP debug logs under ~/.gitwhisper/acp/logs for failed or empty agent responses.
• Limited ACP commit targeting to supported first-party/product-backed agents; use gw acp list --all to inspect raw registry entries.
• Exposed GitWhisper staged-change tools to ACP agents through a local stdio MCP server.
• Added interactive startup update notices with an option to update immediately or stay on the current version for the session.
• Removed the LLM7.io free provider from the CLI.
• Made gw update detect Dart pub, Homebrew, APT, and manual installs, with gw update --check to preview the update path.
• Sanitized noisy agent responses so only valid conventional commit lines are used as commit messages.

0.1.18

• Formatted tool use events

0.1.17

• Expanded agent mode with richer read-only tools for large staged changes, including diff hunks, content chunks, search, deterministic file summaries, related files, and blame.

0.1.16

• Added local CLI providers for Codex (--model codex) and Claude Code (--model claude-code), using the user's installed and authenticated CLIs instead of GitWhisper API keys.
• Added gw commit --agent for OpenAI and Claude, letting models inspect staged changes through read-only GitWhisper tools instead of receiving the whole diff at once.

0.1.15

• switched openai models to make use of max_completion_tokens instead of the deprecated max_tokens param

0.1.14

• Automatically detects files >10MB before committing to prevent accidentally adding large files to git history.
• When diff exceeds max size, automatically processes file-by-file without prompting (revert previously added behaviour)

0.1.13

• Configurable max diff size - New --max-diff-size option in set-defaults to customize the threshold (in characters) before prompting for interactive staging (default: 50,000)
• New command - gw show-config displays your full configuration file in a formatted view
• Improved large diff handling - Large diffs now trigger an interactive prompt with options to use focused staging, commit everything, or cancel

0.1.12

• Free Model (No API Key Required!) - New free model option powered by LLM7.io. Use GitWhisper without any API key setup: gw commit --model free
• Git Tagging Support - New --tag / -t flag to create a git tag alongside your commit (e.g., gw commit -t v1.0.0)
• Auto-push Tags - When using --auto-push with --tag, both the commit and tag are pushed to the remote
• Improved Ticket Prefix - Fixed ticket prefix formatting to correctly include the prefix in generated commit messages (e.g., JIRA-123 -> fix: 🐛 Fix bug)

0.1.11

• Build for ARM64

0.1.10

• Git Editor Integration - Edit commit messages in your preferred Git editor (vim, nano, VS Code, etc.) instead of inline prompt
• Improved Edit Workflow - After editing, the commit message returns to the confirmation menu for review instead of auto-committing
• Better UX - Respects Git's editor configuration hierarchy: GIT_EDITOR → $EDITOR → vi as fallback

0.1.9

• Emoji Control - New --allow-emojis / --no-allow-emojis flag to control emoji inclusion in commit messages (defaults to enabled)
• Updated Model Variants - Refreshed all AI model variants with latest releases:
  • OpenAI: Added GPT-5 family (gpt-5, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5-nano, gpt-5-pro), GPT-4.1 family, and gpt-realtime models
  • Claude: Added claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 and claude-opus-4-1-20250805
  • Gemini: Updated to Gemini 2.5 family (gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flash, gemini-2.5-flash-lite, gemini-2.5-flash-image, gemini-2.5-computer-use)
  • Grok: Added grok-4, grok-4-heavy, grok-4-fast, and grok-code-fast-1
  • DeepSeek: Added deepseek-v3.2-exp, deepseek-v3.1, deepseek-r1-0528, and more
• Build Improvements - Added dynamic version injection via yq in build workflow
• Code Documentation - Added comprehensive method documentation for commit prompt utilities

0.1.2

• Interactive Commit Confirmation - Review, edit, retry with different models, or discard AI-generated messages
• Enhanced User Experience - All commands now use interactive prompts with smart defaults and guided workflows
• Multi-repo Support - Confirmation workflow works across single and multiple repositories
• Improved Security - Hidden input for API keys and better Ollama handling
