Improved performance in Quarto documents. Requests made in Quarto documents should now be much less likely to break cell formatting (#30).
Introduced gander.chat, gander.style, and gander.dims as the preferred
option names, following standard R package option naming conventions. The
legacy options .gander_chat, .gander_style, and .gander_dims continue
to work and will not be deprecated.
Updated recommended models to Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-4.1, and Gemini 3 Flash.
Rewrote prompt structure to more clearly communicate the agent's task. This should broadly result in stronger understanding of user requests and stronger adherence to system instructions (#67).
Early adopters of the package will note two changes made shortly before the release of the package to CRAN:
The configuration options .gander_fn and .gander_args have been
transitioned to one option, .gander_chat. That option takes an ellmer Chat, e.g.
options(.gander_chat = ellmer::chat_anthropic()).
If you've configured an ellmer model using the previous options, you'll get
an error that automatically translates to the new code you need to use.
There is no longer a default ellmer model. Early in the development
of gander, if you had an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set up, the addin would
"just work." While this was convenient for Claude users, it means that the
package spends money on the users behalf without any explicit opt-in.
