• Introduced --attribute-co-authored-by option to add co-author trailer to commit messages, by Andrew Grigorev.

• Marked Gemini 2.5 Pro preview models as overeager by default.
• Commit message prompt specifies the user's language.
• Updated the default weak model for Gemini 2.5 Pro models to gemini/gemini-2.5-flash-preview-04-17.
• Corrected gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 model settings to reflect its lack of support for thinking_budget.
• Ensured model-specific system prompt prefixes are placed on a new line before the main system prompt.
• Added tracking of total tokens sent and received, now included in benchmark statistics.
• Automatically fetch model parameters (context window, pricing) for OpenRouter models directly from their website, by Stefan Hladnik.

• Improved cost calculation using litellm.completion_cost where available.
• Added model settings for openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25.
• Added --disable-playwright flag to prevent Playwright installation prompts and usage, by Andrew Grigorev.
• The aider scrape command-line tool will now use Playwright for web scraping if it is available, by Jon Keys.
• Fixed linter command execution on Windows by adopting oslex for argument quoting, by Titusz Pan.
• Improved cross-platform display of shell commands by using oslex for robust argument quoting, by Titusz Pan.

• Improved display of filenames in the prompt header using rich Text formatting.
• Enabled reasoning_effort for Gemini 2.5 Flash models.
• Added a --shell-completions argument to generate shell completion scripts (e.g., for bash, zsh).
• Explicit --attribute-author or --attribute-committer flags now override the default behavior when --attribute-co-authored-by is used, allowing finer control over commit attribution, by Andrew Grigorev.
• Fixed an issue where read-only status of files might not be preserved correctly by some commands (e.g. /drop after adding a read-only file).
• 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.
• Extended the waiting spinner to also show for non-streaming responses and further enhanced its animation with console width clipping, cursor hiding, and a more continuous appearance.
• Dropped support for Python 3.9.
• Aider wrote 55% of the code in this release.
