v2.2.0

Welcome to the 7 July 2025 release of Gptcmd! This release introduces new automation and data management features, including a macro system, message-level metadata, and support for audio attachments.

Important notes

Python 3.7 support has been removed

Gptcmd now requires Python 3.8.6 or later.

New features

• Gptcmd now supports user-defined command macros, making it easier and more efficient to enter complex or frequently-used commands.
  • Macros are defined in the [macros] table of the Gptcmd configuration file. Each key in [macros] creates a custom command; each value lists the underlying commands to run, one per line.
  • Positional arguments ({1}, {2}, {*}), default parameters ({1?default}), and built-in variables ({account}, {model}, {thread}) are supported.
  • For more information on the macro format, consult Gptcmd's default configuration.
• Messages can now store arbitrary key–value metadata. Use the meta and unmeta commands to add, view, or remove metadata on any message. This is useful for keeping personal notes or for interacting with third-party LLMProviders that make special parameters available.
• Gptcmd now supports audio: the audio command allows local or remote audio files to be attached to messages, similar to the existing image command.
  • Audio requires support from the active LLMProvider: OpenAI (via an audio-specific model) and Gemini (when configured as an "OpenAI-like" provider) are known to work.
• A grep command has been added to search the active thread using regular expressions. This is especially useful if you forget the index of a message and want to find it again!

Changes

• Gptcmd now loads non-default accounts on demand, improving start-up time for users with many configured accounts.
• Cost estimation has been updated for the o3 model family and added for the gpt-4o-audio-preview model.

Bug fixes

• Crash dumps should now be saved in a broader range of exceptional situations, improving data recovery.
