# Aider v0.55.0: pre-filled crash reports and `/settings`

> Mostly a stability and quality-of-life release. Uncaught exceptions now offer to open a pre-filled GitHub issue, and a new `/settings` command shows the active configuration. Relevant if you hit startup or Windows edge-case problems.

## What changed


- Uncaught exceptions offer to file a pre-filled GitHub issue; many corner-case fixes came from that channel
- New `/settings` command shows active settings
- Startup: git repo sanity check with graceful exit; pause after model sanity check so warnings can be read; refuses to create a git repo in `$HOME`
- Repo map now includes devops files; test and lint commands shared with the model
- Won't re-ask about a file the user already declined to add
- Windows self-update prints the pip command instead of running it
- Many errors downgraded to warnings; new `--tool-warning-color`
- Built-in linter disabled for TypeScript
- `/voice` transcription errors now surface the WAV path for recovery
- Version naming moved to setuptools_scm (`vX.Y.Z.dev` plus git hash); `--update` added as an alias for `--upgrade`
- New `--verbose` output for shell commands; fixes for Windows shell commands and `/model` completions
