What's New in v5.0.0

In this major release, several important changes and enhancements have been introduced to improve the overall functionality, maintainability, and user experience of the ChatGPT Copilot extension.

Key Highlights:

  • Refactoring for Maintainability:

    • A significant refactoring of the entire codebase has been completed, making it more modular, easier to manage, and maintain over time. This improves the long-term scalability of the project and simplifies future feature additions.
  • Improved Error Handling & Logging:

    • Error handling throughout the extension has been enhanced to provide more descriptive error messages.
    • Logging of internal operations has been improved, allowing better tracking and debugging of issues. This ensures smooth troubleshooting and transparency when something goes wrong.
  • New Commands for Context Management:

    • Introduced new commands to add specific files and folders to the context for retrieval during ChatGPT conversations.
    • This allows you to include specific file paths and their contents as part of the ChatGPT context while asking questions, providing enhanced context-aware conversations.
  • Enhanced Context Usage (Without Cluttering Conversation History):

    • Added functionality to use the specified context without appending it to the conversation history. This means that you can benefit from updated content in the context for each prompt, but it won’t clutter or affect multiturn conversations.
    • The content remains relevant for the current conversation, ensuring that ChatGPT can use fresh context without accumulating unnecessary information in the conversation history.

Other Improvements:

  • General code optimizations and performance improvements.
  • Updated documentation for better clarity on using the new commands and features.

This release marks a significant step forward in making ChatGPT Copilot more robust, user-friendly, and customizable.
