** New features and UI changes
+- When including a file in the context, the abbreviated full path of
+ the file is included is now included instead of the basename.
+ Specifically, =/home/user/path/to/file= is included as
+ =~/path/to/file=. This is to provide additional context for LLM
+ actions, including tool-use in subsequent conversation turns. This
+ applies to context included via ~gptel-add~ or as a link in a
+ buffer.
+
- Structured output support: ~gptel-request~ can now take an optional
schema argument to constrain LLM output to the specified JSON
schema. The JSON schema can be provided as a serialized JSON string
