// HOW THIS ISSUE IS MADE

We read every release from the 174 tools on our watchlist at the source — GitHub and GitLab release notes, vendor release pages and changelogs, project blogs and feeds, vendor press releases, and the source code behind the tag. Bug-fix-only releases and non-product newsroom noise are dropped; what's left is summarized down to the new capability, how to try it, and any screenshots or videos the release itself published. Every entry links to the sources it was built from.

Cline

Sources Release notes → desktop-v0.0.11 4 RELEASES · 2026-08-09 NOTES STABLE

Autonomous coding agent as an SDK, IDE extension, or CLI assistant.

Cline desktop v0.0.11 adds clipboard image paste, OAuth prompts for MCP servers, durable queued prompts, and richer scheduled run reports.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION
$ git clone --branch desktop-v0.0.11 https://github.com/cline/cline.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout desktop-v0.0.11
  • Remote SSE MCP servers now surface an OAuth authorization prompt on a 401 response instead of failing outright.
  • Supports pasting images directly from the clipboard into the composer.
  • A hung MCP server no longer blocks session creation; stdio servers that were never configured receive a 30-second initialize budget instead of blocking indefinitely.
  • Scheduled run reports now carry execution context including schedule metadata, durations, and lifecycle error details.
  • Checkpoints are picked up when git is initialized mid-session, and checkpoint diffs now include files that were untracked at snapshot time.

  • Network interruptions mid-stream but before any model output are retried instead of failing the turn.
  • LiteLLM requests now route through Chat Completions instead of the Responses API.
  • Session context stays durable across aborts and hub restarts.
  • Welcome suggestions in the folder picker now adapt to the actual folder contents instead of assuming a code project.
  • Settings, Sessions, Onboarding, and Diff views now load lazily for improved startup performance.
  • Plugin settings and contributions are now managed centrally with atomic toggles; empty install directories are no longer listed as installed.

v4.1.7 NOTES STABLE

Cline v4.1.7 restores 'View Changes' review, copy button on responses, and adds pre-registered OAuth client support for remote MCP servers.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION
$ git clone --branch v4.1.7 https://github.com/cline/cline.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout v4.1.7
  • Supports pre-registered OAuth clients for remote MCP servers, enabling use in environments where dynamic client registration is unavailable.
  • Brings back a copy button on turn-final response rows.
  • Carries execution context in scheduled run reports, including readable headers, schedule metadata, durations, and lifecycle error details.
cli-v3.0.52 NOTES STABLE

Cline CLI v3.0.52 adds cline mcp uninstall, OAuth support for remote SSE MCP servers, and richer scheduled run reports.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION
$ git clone --branch cli-v3.0.52 https://github.com/cline/cline.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout cli-v3.0.52
└──▷ TRY IT
Remove an MCP server you no longer need without editing config files manually.
$ cline mcp uninstall <server-name>
  • Adds cline mcp uninstall subcommand for removing an installed MCP server.
  • Remote SSE MCP servers now surface an OAuth authorization prompt on a 401 response instead of failing outright, with support for pre-registered OAuth clients in setups without dynamic client registration.
  • Scheduled run reports now carry execution context including readable headers, schedule metadata, durations, and lifecycle error details.
  • Schedules now reuse saved provider settings instead of requiring provider configuration of their own.
  • Session context stays durable across aborts and hub restarts, allowing an interrupted session to resume with the state it had.

  • Checkpoint diffs now include files that were untracked when the snapshot was taken, and checkpoints are picked up when git is initialized mid-session.
  • A hung MCP server no longer blocks session creation; stdio servers that were never configured receive a 30-second initialize budget instead of blocking indefinitely.
  • Network interruptions that occur mid-stream but before any model output is received are retried instead of failing the turn.
  • Vertex ADC token refreshes use the configured fetch, so they work behind proxies and custom transports.
  • MCP tool results render as readable text in the TUI instead of escaped JSON, and binary payloads survive expansion without being mangled.
sdk/sdk/v0.0.72 NOTES STABLE

Cline SDK v0.0.72 adds OAuth for remote MCP, durable session context, and richer scheduled run reports.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION
$ git clone --branch sdk/sdk/v0.0.72 https://github.com/cline/cline.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout sdk/sdk/v0.0.72
  • Queued turns that fail now report as run.failed instead of completing silently, making failure states observable.
  • Remote SSE MCP servers now surface an OAuth authorization prompt on a 401 instead of failing outright, with support for pre-registered OAuth clients where dynamic client registration is unavailable.
  • Prompts queued during a turn survive user-initiated aborts — preserved across interruptions, drained after self-aborts, and edits made inside the abort window are applied rather than lost.
  • Session context stays durable across aborts and hub restarts, so interrupted sessions resume with their prior state rather than resetting.
  • A hung MCP server no longer blocks session creation; stdio servers that were never configured get a 30-second initialize budget instead of blocking indefinitely.
+6 moreshow less
  • LiteLLM requests now route through Chat Completions instead of the Responses API, enabling compatibility with LiteLLM proxies.
  • Mid-stream network interruptions that occur before any model output is received are retried automatically instead of failing the turn.
  • Vertex ADC token refreshes use the configured fetch, making them work behind proxies and custom transports.
  • Checkpoint diffs now include files that were untracked at snapshot time, and checkpoints are picked up when git is initialized mid-session.
  • Plugin settings and contributions are centralized in the hub, with host-aware snapshots and atomic host plugin toggles.
  • Scheduled run reports now carry execution context including readable headers, schedule metadata, durations, and lifecycle error details.
