v0.76.0
AiderSummary
This release significantly enhances reasoning model support by adding token budget control and displaying reasoning output directly. Aider now offers user notifications when LLM responses are ready and introduces broad support for new models like QWQ 32B and Claude 3.7 Sonnet across various providers. Additionally, several Git and configuration handling bugs have been resolved.
