Features added by the Kilo Code Team
Customizable Git Commit Generation
Git commit messages are a crucial part of maintaining clean, understandable project history. With Kilo Code 4.38, we've introduced full customization capabilities for generating commit messages. You can now tailor commit message generation to match your team's conventions and preferences perfectly. This powerful feature allows you to:
Select a specific API profile dedicated to commit message generation through Settings > Prompts
Choose different AI models or providers specifically for commit messages, optimizing for cost or quality
Leverage our new COMMIT_MESSAGE support prompt type that includes comprehensive conventional commit format guidance
Ensure consistent commit formatting across your entire team by sharing custom prompts
Excel File Support (.xlsx)
Expanding support for diverse data formats, Kilo Code now includes Excel file handling capabilities. This feature recognizes that modern development often involves working with data from various sources, including spreadsheets that stakeholders and data teams commonly use.
The Excel support enables:
Automatic text extraction from .xlsx files when loaded into AI context
Intelligent handling of multiple sheets while skipping hidden ones
Support for various cell types including formulas, dates, and rich text
Seamless integration with AI models for data analysis and code generation based on spreadsheet contents
This implementation uses the robust exceljs library to ensure reliable extraction of spreadsheet data, making it easier to work with Excel-based datasets in your AI-assisted development workflow.
We're proud to have contributed the Excel file support feature back to upstream Roo Code, demonstrating our commitment to the open-source community!
Features added by the Kilo Code Community
OpenRouter Custom Base URL Support
For developers using OpenRouter with custom deployments or proxy configurations, we've fixed an important issue where the model list wasn't respecting custom base URLs. This fix ensures that OpenRouter users can now properly fetch available models regardless of their specific setup, providing greater flexibility for enterprise environments or specialized configurations.
Many thanks to @cobra91 for the OpenRouter Custom Base URL contribution! We love seeing community members evolve from users to contributors, strengthening both Kilo Code and the broader ecosystem.
Looking Forward
We're continuously working to enhance Kilo Code with each release, making it the most powerful and user-friendly AI coding assistant available. These improvements come directly from community feedback, and we're grateful for your continued support and suggestions. Whether you're crafting the perfect commit message or working with diverse file formats, Kilo Code is here to accelerate your development workflow.
Don't just code by the line, code by the kilo!
Good stuff, thanks for the update. I work in an industry that has lots of software that uses csv and xlsx, so this will be very useful for me. Git Commit Generation will also be helpful.
