Aider v0.74.0: dynamic Ollama context window sizing

Aider now resizes the Ollama context window to fit the current chat, and improves handling of o3-mini, DeepSeek V3/R1 and o1 models served through secondary API providers. Mostly bug fixes otherwise.

  • Ollama context window is changed dynamically to hold the current chat
  • Better support for o3-mini, DeepSeek V3 & R1, o1-mini and o1 via secondary API providers
  • <think> tags stripped from R1 responses used for commit messages and other weak-model tasks
  • use_temperature: <float> now accepted in model settings, not just true/false
  • Docker: full container includes boto3 for Bedrock; containers set HOME=/app so ~/.aider persists
  • File watching ignores top-level directories named in ignore files (e.g. node_modules) to avoid OS watch limits
  • Improved .gitignore handling; .env checked only when present
  • Yes/No prompts accept All/Skip as aliases for Y/N outside grouped confirmations
  • Fixes: bogus filenames like python/php, --timeout, /model weak-model reporting, multi-line mode surviving ^C at confirmation prompts
