Add aider-refactor-book-method and introduced couple of refactoring techniques from Martin Flower’s Refactoring book
Enhance aider-plain-read-string with better completion and history
- This came from https://github.com/MatthewZMD/aidermacs/commit/cbb9bada03681d7ab27ce3bce1c9be9e9469da99
Deprecate ~~aider-other-process-command~~ menu item. aider comint session already have command completion, so there is no advantage to use this menu item.
Update keyword completion and highlight given aider in-chat commands change
Added aider-core--auto-trigger-insert-prompt. when aider-auto-trigger-prompt is t (default off), it will automatically trigger prompt insertion in aider comint session after one of the commands (/ask, /code, /architect).
aider–comint-send-string-syntax-highlight use comint-send-input since it is a more standard way, given suggestion from Spike-Leung
In aider-prompt-file, C-u C-c C-n can send block line by line in aider prompt file (close to C-c C-n)

magit rebase style file operation in aider-prompt-mode, and send block line by line command (request from Spike-Leung)
- also added cycle between /ask and /architect command
Remove redundant savehist configuration, by LemonBreezes (the history feature with savehist for aider-plain-read-string is initially added by LemonBreezes as well)
aider-helm.el support candidate prompt list, aider-ask-question (Question on Context), aider-general-question (Question without Context) and aider-function-or-region-refactor (Change function / region) provide a list of prompt candidates respectively
TODO keyword for aider-implement-todo is configurable through aider-todo-keyword-pair
update aider-change-model to adapt recent aider change (three types of model command). For simplicity, only use the same aider-popular-models variable
deprecate ~~aider-add-same-type-files-under-dir~~, since things like /add *.el will do it
deprecate ~~aider-fix-failing-test-under-cursor~~. aider-function-or-region-refactor can do the same work.
improve aider-write-unit-test by providing the option of write unit-test first given description (Test First)
fix the issue: Chat window: wrap code always in code blocks: #113
- side effect: inhibited BOLD or italic text in regular markdown text outside of code block
add aider-open-history function, under File section in the menu
aider-function-or-region-refactor have different candidate-list for main code and test code
