Full Release Notes

# More Bang Mode™ improvements

[This morning we released the new Bang Mode](https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/tag/v0.78.0). For this release, we did a couple small fixes and enhancements to it:

* We tweaked the font colors to make it more legible;
* A long-running command will now show immediately and stream output as the command runs;
* Session name generation is fixed for sessions started with a command.

## Agent bug fixes

We made a few bug fixes to [Fantasy](https://github.com/charmbracelet/fantasy) to make Crush behave better with certains providers and models.

* The `tool not found` error now print the list of available tool. This is targeting certain models like Kimi that sometimes can get lost and call tools that doesn't exist;
* Fixes potential tool call errors with the GLM family via Fireworks;
* Fixed some GPT models via Azure (thanks @dustinlagoy);
* Fixes Gemini via VertexAI (thanks @eswar-7116);
* Fixed tool calls sometimes not working properly for local models.

Have a great weekend and keep crushing! :rocket:

<summary>Verifying the artifacts</summary>

First, download the [`checksums.txt` file](https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.79.0/checksums.txt) and the [`checksums.txt.sigstore.json` file](https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.79.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json) files, for example, with `wget`:

```bash
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.79.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.79.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'
```

Then, verify it using [`cosign`](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign):

```bash
cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt
```

If the output is `Verified OK`, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using `sha256sum`:

```bash
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
```

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
