ChatGPT CLI v1.5.0

This release introduces significant updates including bug fixes, a breaking change for better API payload handling, and a new feature to improve context management and max token management. Additionally, it includes a migration strategy for existing configurations to smoothly transition to the new context window setting.

What's New

• New Feature: Introduced context_window to limit the size of the context. This replaces the previous max_tokens setting for context management, offering more precise control over the memory footprint of conversations (PR #).

• Configuration Migration: For users migrating from an older version, config.yaml now automatically updates to use context_window. If context_window is not set, it defaults to the value of max_tokens, and max_tokens is reset to 4096. This ensures a seamless transition while encouraging users to leverage the new context management feature (PR #).

Bug Fixes

• --list-threads No Longer Requires API Key: Fixed a bug where the --list-threads command unnecessarily required an API key, streamlining the process for listing threads without additional authentication (PR #).

• API Payload Handling (Breaking Change): The --max-tokens setting now correctly applies to the payload of the outgoing API call instead of the size of the context. This change may affect existing workflows that rely on the old behavior. Users are encouraged to review their usage and adjust accordingly

Under the Hood

• Refined the README.md formatting for better readability, including updates to the Configuration and Development sections.
• Adjusted client behavior to align with the new context_window and max_tokens logic, ensuring consistency across API calls.
• Updated testing suites to cover the new features and bug fixes, reinforcing the reliability of the release.

We are excited to announce the release of chatgpt-cli version 1.4.2, which introduces an eagerly awaited feature: Command-Line Autocompletion for flags. This update is designed to enhance the user experience by streamlining interactions with the CLI, making it faster and more intuitive to use the chatgpt-cli.

New Features

ChatGPT CLI v1.4.1

What's New in chatgpt-cli Latest Release

We're thrilled to announce the latest update to chatgpt-cli, which brings significant enhancements and new features to improve your CLI experience. This update introduces the ability to manage conversation threads more efficiently with two new flags: --list-threads for displaying active threads and --set-thread for specifying the active thread. These enhancements are designed to streamline your workflow and provide you with greater control over your conversational contexts.

New Features

• Thread Management Made Easy: Navigate through and manage your conversation threads effortlessly with the new --list-threads flag. This feature allows you to view all your active threads, clearly indicating the current active thread for better orientation.

• Customize Your Conversation Context: With the --set-thread flag, switching between different conversation threads is now seamless. Specify the thread you wish to activate, and chatgpt-cli will set it as the current context for your session.

Enhancements

• Improved Documentation: The README has been updated to include instructions and examples for the newly introduced thread management features, providing you with all the information you need to get started.

• Code Quality Improvements: Under the hood, the chatgpt-cli codebase has been refined for better performance and reliability. These improvements ensure a smoother and more stable experience while using the CLI tool.

ChatGPT CLI v1.4.0

New Features

• Configurable Authentication Header and Token Prefix: In this release, we've introduced the ability to configure the authentication header and token prefix. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and control over the authentication process, allowing users to tailor these settings to their specific needs and integrate more seamlessly with various authentication schemes.

Breaking Changes

• Removal of SetAPIKey from the Caller Interface: In an effort to streamline our code and improve the interface design, the SetAPIKey method has been removed from the Caller interface (HTTP client). This change may require updates to existing code where the SetAPIKey method was previously used. Users will need to adjust their implementation to accommodate this change.

How to Migrate

If you're affected by the breaking change with the removal of SetAPIKey, here are the steps to migrate:

• Review your current usage of the SetAPIKey method within the Caller interface.
• Adjust your authentication mechanism to use the new configurable authentication header and token prefix, if applicable.
• Ensure that your authentication process aligns with the updated interface and retest your integrations.

Additional Notes

• As always, we recommend testing these changes in a development or staging environment before rolling them out in production.
• Please refer to the updated documentation for detailed information on the new configurable authentication settings and migration steps.

ChatGPT CLI v1.3.4

We're excited to introduce new configuration options to give you more control over your GPT model interactions.

New Features:

• Temperature Configuration: Adjust the randomness of the output. Values range between 0 and 2.0, with the default set to 1.0. Higher values, like 0.8, make the output more random, whereas lower values, like 0.2, make it more deterministic.

• Frequency Penalty: This setting, ranging from -2.0 to 2.0 (defaulting to 0), allows you to penalize tokens based on their existing frequency in the text. Positive values decrease the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim.

• TopP (Nucleus Sampling): An alternative to temperature sampling. The model considers the tokens with top_p probability mass. So, setting it to 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered. Defaults to 1.

• Presence Penalty: This value, ranging from -2.0 to 2.0 (defaulting to 0), lets you penalize tokens based on whether they've appeared in the text so far. Positive values encourage the model to discuss new topics.

How to Use:

Update your configuration settings with the new options to take advantage of these features.

Release Notes

New Features

• Per Thread Contexts: In this release, we're introducing per-thread contexts for the ChatGPT CLI. Now, each thread can maintain its own unique context, providing an experience similar to the one users are familiar with on the OpenAI website. This makes it even easier to manage multiple chat sequences or use cases at the same time.

  You can specify a thread by setting the thread option in your configuration or by using the --thread flag. If no thread is specified, the application defaults to using the thread named default.

• Clear History Flag: Want to start a new conversation in the same thread without the baggage of previous interactions? The --clear-history flag allows you to easily clear the history of a specific thread.

Improvements

• Improved Configuration Section: Our README now includes a detailed table explaining each configuration option, its default value, and how to override it.

• Enhanced README: We have made several updates to our README to provide clearer instructions and more comprehensive information about the application's features.

Bug Fixes

• A number of minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

ChatGPT CLI v1.2.0

Release notes

We are pleased to announce the latest release of the ChatGPT CLI. This update provides enhanced configuration options to optimize your user experience.

Enhanced Configuration

1. Layered Configuration: ChatGPT CLI now supports a layered configuration system for a more flexible setup. The order of precedence for these configurations is: default values, values from the config.yaml file, and environment variables.

2. Default Configuration: We've included default values for name, api_key, model, max_tokens, url, completions_path, models_path, and omit_history. These defaults ensure a smooth user experience right out of the box.

3. User Configuration: You can easily override the default settings by specifying your preferences in the config.yaml file located in your home directory.

4. Environment Variables: For more immediate and flexible changes, environment variables can be used to overwrite default and user-defined values.

5. Configuration Display: The --config or -c flag is introduced to display the current configuration. It's a quick way to check your settings without having to manually open the configuration files.

New Quick Configuration Flags

To enhance your convenience, we've introduced two new flags to allow for quick modification of the model and max_tokens parameters in your user configured config.yaml. These flags are --set-model and --set-max-tokens. For instance, updating the model can be done using the following command:

chatgpt --set-model gpt-3.5-turbo-16k

These quick configuration options enable rapid changes to key settings, optimizing the adaptability of the ChatGPT CLI to your needs.
