# Aider v0.61.0: save and replay chat context with /save and /load

> Adds `/save` and `/load` to write the current file context out as a file of slash-commands and replay it later, plus `--load` to run commands at launch. Also introduces anonymous opt-in analytics and several input and error-handling changes.

## What changed


- `/save <fname>` writes a file of `/add` and `/read-only` commands that recreate the current chat file context; `/load <fname>` replays them
- `/load` can replay any set of slash-commands, not only `/add` and `/read-only`
- `--load <fname>` runs a command list at launch before the interactive chat starts
- Anonymous, opt-in analytics with no personal data sharing
- Image support now follows litellm's `supports_vision` attribute
- New `--no-fancy-input` disables prompt-toolkit input (previously tied to `--no-pretty`)
- `--no-browser` / `--no-gui` override browser config
- Offers to open documentation URLs on errors
- All o1 models supported regardless of provider
- Fixes: diff mode handling a wrong filename from the model, sorted filename display, corrupted repomap tags cache, API error handling for the weak model
