New Features:

  • Auto shell title support:

    • Added a new configuration option auto_shell_title to automatically set the terminal title to the current thread name during interactive sessions (TTY-only; silently skipped in non-TTY).
    • Config and CLI flag support:
      • Config key: auto_shell_title
      • CLI flag: --set-auto-shell-title / set-auto-shell-title
    • Code reference: cmd/chatgpt/main.go, config/config.go, README.md

  • Interactive “multiline” toggle command:

    • You can now toggle multiline input on/off while in interactive mode by typing the command multiline.
    • The interactive welcome message now shows whether multiline is ON or OFF.
    • Code reference: cmd/chatgpt/main.go (readInput changes)

Improvements:

  • Centralized thread naming and persistence:

    • Introduced GenerateThreadName to unify logic for naming threads across modes and options:
      • --new-thread takes priority and creates a cmd_-prefixed thread and persists it to config.
      • In interactive mode with auto_create_new_thread enabled, creates an int_-prefixed thread without writing to config.
      • Otherwise, uses the configured thread name as-is.
    • Code reference: cmd/chatgpt/utils/utils.go (GenerateThreadName), cmd/chatgpt/main.go

  • Clearer interactive session UX:

    • Updated the startup message to include multiline status and a concise list of commands (clear, multiline, exit/Ctrl+C).
    • Backspace handling and EOF flow in multiline mode were refined.
    • Code reference: cmd/chatgpt/main.go

  • Safer terminal title handling:

    • Added TTY detection before writing the terminal title to avoid errors in piped or non-interactive environments.
    • Code reference: cmd/chatgpt/main.go (isTerminal, setShellTitle)

Bug Fixes:

  • Avoid unintended thread overwrites:
    • Moved thread selection logic out of the client constructor and into the CLI layer to prevent accidental overwrites and ensure consistent behavior across modes and flags.
    • Updated tests to reflect the new responsibility boundaries.
    • Code reference: api/client/client.go, api/client/client_test.go, cmd/chatgpt/main.go

Other Changes:

  • Configuration updates:

    • auto_shell_title added to Config and Viper bindings.
    • Code reference: config/config.go, cmd/chatgpt/main.go

  • Dependency updates:

    • go.uber.org/zap: 1.27.0 → 1.27.1
    • golang.org/x/text: 0.30.0 → 0.31.0
    • golang.org/x/net: 0.46.0 → 0.47.0 (indirect)
    • golang.org/x/sys: 0.37.0 → 0.38.0 (indirect)
    • golang.org/x/tools: 0.37.0 → 0.38.0
    • Code reference: go.mod, go.sum

  • Tests:

    • Added coverage for GenerateThreadName with multiple scenarios.
    • Removed client constructor tests that asserted thread-setting behavior (now handled in CLI).
    • Code reference: cmd/chatgpt/utils/utils_test.go, api/client/client_test.go

Upgrade Notes:

  • To update:
    • Homebrew: brew upgrade chatgpt-cli
    • Direct download: Fetch the latest binaries for your OS from the releases page and replace your existing executable.
  • Configuration:
    • auto_shell_title is new and defaults to false. Enable it via config.yaml or the CLI flag set-auto-shell-title if you want the terminal title to reflect the current thread.
  • Behavior:
    • When using --new-thread, the new thread name (cmd_ prefix) is now persisted to config. In interactive mode with auto_create_new_thread: true, a session-specific thread (int_ prefix) is created without writing to config.
