Release server/v1.1.1

• Improvements to stream handling that greatly reduce flickering in the terminal when streaming a plan, especially when many files are being built simultaneously. CPU usage is also reduced on both the client and server side.
• Claude 3.5 Sonnet model and model pack (via OpenRouter.ai) is now built-in.

Fix for terminal flickering when streaming plans 📺

Improvements to stream handling that greatly reduce flickering in the terminal when streaming a plan, especially when many files are being built simultaneously. CPU usage is also reduced on both the client and server side.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet model pack is now built-in 🧠

You can now easily use Claude 3.5 Sonnet with Plandex through OpenRouter.ai.

1. Create an account at OpenRouter.ai if you don't already have one.
2. Generate an OpenRouter API key.
3. Run export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=... in your terminal.
4. Run plandex set-model, select choose a model pack to change all roles at once and then choose either anthropic-claude-3.5-sonnet (which uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet for all heavy lifting and Claude 3 Haiku for lighter tasks) or anthropic-claude-3.5-sonnet-gpt-4o (which uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet for planning and summarization, gpt-4o for builds, and gpt-3.5-turbo for lighter tasks)

Remember, you can run plandex model-packs for details on all built-in model packs.

Release server/v1.1.0

• Give notes added to context with plandex load -n 'some note' automatically generated names in context ls list.
• Fixes for summarization and auto-continue issues that could Plandex to lose track of where it is in the plan and repeat tasks or do tasks out of order, especially when using tell and continue after the initial tell.
• Improvements to the verification and auto-fix step. Plandex is now more likely to catch and fix placeholder references like "// ... existing code ..." as well as incorrect removal or overwriting of code.
• After a context file is updated, Plandex is less likely to use an old version of the code from earlier in the conversation--it now uses the latest version much more reliably.
• Increase wait times when receiving rate limit errors from OpenAI API (common with new OpenAI accounts that haven't spent $50).

Release server/v1.0.1

• Fix for occasional 'Error getting verify state for file' error
• Fix for occasional 'Fatal: unable to write new_index file' error
• Fix for occasional 'nothing to commit, working tree clean' error
• When hitting OpenAI rate limits, Plandex will now parse error messages that include a recommended wait time and automatically wait that long before retrying, up to 30 seconds (#123)
• Some prompt updates to encourage creation of multiple smaller files rather than one mega-file when generating files for a new feature or project. Multiple smaller files are faster to generate, use less tokens, and have a lower error rate compared to a continually updated large file.

Release server/v1.0.0

☄️ gpt-4o is the real deal for coding

• gpt-4o, OpenAI's latest model, is the new default model for Plandex. 4o is much better than gpt-4-turbo (the previous default model) in early testing for coding tasks and agent workflows.
• If you have not used plandex set-model or plandex set-model default previously to set a custom model, you will now be use gpt-4o by default. If you have used one of those commands, use plandex set-model or plandex set-model default and select the new gpt-4o-latest model-pack to upgrade.

🛰️ Reliability improvements: 90% reduction in syntax errors in early testing

• Automatic syntax and logic validation with an auto-correction step for file updates.
• Significantly improves reliability and reduces syntax errors, mistaken duplication or removal of code, placeholders that reference other code and other similar issues.
• With a set of ~30 internal evals spanning 5 common languages, syntax errors were reduced by over 90% on average with gpt-4o.
• Logical errors are also reduced (I'm still working on evals for those to get more precise numbers).
• Plandex is now much better at handling large files and plans that make many updates to the same file. Both could be problematic in previous versions.
• Plandex is much more resilient to incorrectly labelled file blocks when the model uses the file label format incorrectly to explain something rather than for a file. i.e. "Run this script" and then a bash script block. Previously Plandex would mistakenly create a file called "Run this script". It now ignores blocks like these.

🧠 Improvements to core planning engine: better memory and less laziness allow you to accomplish larger and more complex tasks without errors or stopping early

• Plandex is now much better at working through long plans without skipping tasks, repeating tasks it's already done, or otherwise losing track of what it's doing.
• Plandex is much less likely to leave TODO placeholders in comments instead of fully completing a task, or to otherwise leave a task incomplete.
• Plandex is much less likely to end a plan before all tasks are completed.

🏎️ Performance improvements: 2x faster planning and execution

• gpt-4o is twice as fast as gpt-4-turbo for planning, summarization, builds, and more.
• If you find it's streaming too fast and you aren't able to review the output, try using the --stop / -s flag with plandex tell or plandex continue. It will stop the plan after a single response so you can review it before proceeding. Use plandex continue to proceed with the plan once you're ready.
• Speaking of which, if you're in exploratory mode and want to use less tokens, you can also use the --no-build / -n flag with plandex tell and plandex continue. This prevents Plandex from building files until you run plandex build manually.

🪙 2x cost reduction: gpt-4o is half the per-token price of gpt-4-turbo

• For the same quantity of tokens, with improved quality and 2x speed, you'll pay half-price.

👩‍💻 New plandex-dev and pdxd alias in development mode

• In order to avoid conflicts/overwrites with the plandex CLI and pdx alias, a new plandex-dev command and pdxd alias have been added in development mode.

🛠️ Bug fixes

• Fix for a potential panic during account creation (#76)
• Fixes for some account creation flow issues (#106)
• Fix for occasional "Stream buffer tokens too high" error (#34).
• Fix for potential panic when updating model settings. Might possibly be the cause of or somehow related to #121 but hard to be sure (maybe AWS was just being flakey).
• Attempted fix for rare git repo race condition @jesseswell_1 caught that gives error ending with:

Exit status 128, output
      * Fatal: unable to write new_index file

📚 Readme updates

• The readme has been revamped to be more informative and easier to navigate.

Release cli/v1.0.0

• CLI updates for the 1.0.0 release
• See the server/v1.0.0 release notes for full details

Release server/v0.9.1

• Improvements to auto-continue check. Plandex now does a better job determining whether a plan is finished or should automatically continue by incorporating the either the latest plan summary or the previous conversation message (if the summary isn't ready yet) into the auto-continue check. Previously the check was using only the latest conversation message.
• Fix for 'exit status 128' errors in a couple of edge case scenarios.
• Data that is piped into plandex load is now automatically given a name in context ls via a call to the namer role model (previously it had no name, making multiple pipes hard to disambiguate).

Release server/v0.9.0

• Support for custom models, model packs, and default models (see CLI 0.9.0 release notes for details).
• Better accuracy for updates to existing files.
• Plandex is less likely to screw up braces, parentheses, and other code structures.
• Plandex is less likely to mistakenly remove code that it shouldn't.
• Plandex is now much better at working through very long plans without skipping tasks, repeating tasks it's already done, or otherwise losing track of what it's doing.
• Server-side support for plandex diff command to show pending plan changes in git diff format.
• Server-side support for archiving and unarchiving plans.
• Server-side support for plandex summary command.
• Server-side support for plandex rename command.
• Descriptive top-line for plandex apply commit messages instead of just "applied pending changes".
• Better message in plandex log when a single piece of context is loaded or updated.
• Fixes for some rare potential deadlocks and conflicts when building a file or stopping astream.

Release server/v0.8.4

• Add support for new OpenAI models: gpt-4-turbo and gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09
• Make gpt-4-turbo model the new default model for the planner, builder, and auto-continue roles -- in testing it seems to be better at reasoning and significantly less lazy than the previous default for these roles, gpt-4-turbo-preview -- any plan that has not previously had its model settings modified will now use gpt-4-turbo by default (those that have been modified will need to be updated manually) -- remember that you can always use plandex set-model to change models for your plans
• Fix for handling files that are loaded into context and later deleted from the file system (#47)
• Handle file paths with ### prefixes (#77)
• Fix for occasional race condition during file builds that causes error "Fatal: Unable to write new index file"

Release server/v0.8.3

• Add support for OPENAI_ENDPOINT environment variable for custom OpenAI endpoints (#46)
• Add support for OPENAI_ORG_ID environment variable for setting the OpenAI organization ID when using an API key with multiple OpenAI organizations.
• Fix for unhelpful "Error getting plan, context, convo, or summaries" error message when OpenAI returns an error for invalid API key or insufficient credits (#32)
