Queued messages can now be sent into the running turn with Enter. While the agent is working, pressing Enter with an empty composer steers the first message in the queue, so it is picked up at the next turn boundary instead of waiting for the whole task to finish; the composer placeholder says so whenever the queue is non-empty. The queue head is claimed atomically, so a fast second Enter can't st…
The app no longer gets stuck on "Desktop backend unavailable" when the backend is slow to start. The window asked for the backend's address exactly once and the shell stops waiting after about 15 seconds, so on a slower machine — where starting the hub pushed past that — you were left on the error screen until you relaunched, and the relaunch could lose the same race. Connection attempts now keep…
The ext-sdk-bundle-rollout flag reached 100%, so stable releases now ship a standalone build of main through ext-vscode-publish-stable.yml rather than the combined legacy+next A/B VSIX. Rewrite the skill around that path and record what is left to retire. Also corrects two things the old text got wrong: nightly is manual-dispatch only (the cron was removed because PublishNightly gained required re…
Introducing Cline Desktop: a native app for working with open-weight models, with task import from Claude Code and Codex, scheduled runs, web search and voice input, and a marketplace for plugins, MCP servers, and skills. The CLI now shows a one-time startup notice pointing at cline.bot/desktop. At most one notice appears per launch, and CLINE_DISABLE_CLINE_PASS_NOTICE=1 still suppresses all of th…
Hub-managed Agent Plugins. Packages under ~/.agents/plugins/* on the hub host are discovered and validated from their root plugin.json; valid skills under skills/ are exposed through the skills tool as plugin-name:skill-name, and stdio, Streamable HTTP, and legacy SSE servers from mcp.json are started without touching cline_mcp_settings.json. Workspace .agents/plugins directories are deliberately…

An expired Cline sign-in now produces one actionable error instead of two dead ends. A turn that fails before the runtime takes the prompt was reported twice — the hub's detail-less run.failed appended a bubble, then the send RPC resolved with the real error and overwrote the error banner underneath it — so you got a vague bubble stacked on a detailed banner. The failure now renders exactly once,…
The composer now shows the current branch's GitHub pull request — PR number, merge status, changed-line totals, and CI checks. Click through to open it in your browser, or expand CI to inspect individual checks and their logs; status refreshes every 30 seconds while visible, on window focus, and on demand. If the branch has no PR, Create PR opens GitHub's comparison form. Requires the GitHub CLI (…
ChatGPT Subscription (Codex) now lists only the models your plan can actually use. Two separate paths filled the picker from the shared OpenAI catalog, so GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, and chatgpt-image-latest showed up alongside the Codex models, and the runtime lost the Codex context caps. The model rules also match what the backend now accepts: gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.4-mini were retired for ChatGPT accounts on 2…
Fixed the live chat stream doubling text and dropping messages mid-turn. The sidecar has two Hub sockets that both receive a session's events — ClineCore's own client and the observer client — and a session that streams without a local send first (a run already in flight when you open the task, a resumed run, a scheduled run) had every delta rendered twice. The observer's copy is now skipped whene…
Agent Plugins are now discovered and run by the shared Hub. Packages under ~/.agents/plugins are validated from their plugin.json, their valid Agent Skills become available to the agent, and their stdio / Streamable HTTP / SSE MCP servers start automatically. Settings → Customize lists Agent Plugins separately from Cline Plugins, with each plugin's description, badge, and contributed tools, and en…
Beta: configure and opt in to image generation under Customize → Tools. Provider credentials stay server-side, and generated images remain available in session history. Scheduled runs are grouped within their runtime environment so similarly named local and SSH schedules stay separate. While an SSH environment is selected, media-generation settings now make clear that they configure only the local…
Everything here lands through the SDK bundle, so it applies to windows running that bundle. Added ClinePass is now surfaced across the app: a card on the account page describing what the plan covers, a hint in provider settings, and a banner on the home screen. Dismissed banners stay dismissed. Fixed Fixed the background Hub process ballooning in memory during long sessions. Session status updates…
Import your history from Claude Code, Codex, and opencode. An Import button in the Sessions header (and a row in Settings → General) scans your local stores from all three tools and turns the conversations you pick into fully resumable Cline sessions. Sessions are grouped per tool with select-all and a search across title, folder, and first prompt; already-imported ones are shown as such so re-ope…
Cline now handles a running Hub that is older than your CLI. Instead of quietly talking to a hub executing stale code, you get a prompt showing how many active sessions a replacement would interrupt, with enter-to-replace or escape-to-keep. The replacement drains the Hub first so in-flight turns finish, and a hub too old or wedged to accept the drain is left alone rather than killed Windows binari…
Fixed tool calling being silently disabled for gateway models whose catalog entry declares no capabilities. Three separate producers built gateway model definitions with their own hand-written capability translations and had drifted; the builtin-provider path emitted ["text"] where the others emitted undefined, and that list read as an authoritative denial that stripped every tool definition from…

Beta: Composio connectors now register tools directly in the packaged desktop runtime for eligible internal accounts, with safer OAuth revocation and more resilient connect, disconnect, and reconciliation behavior. Web search is enabled by default for new desktop sessions. Includes all stable desktop improvements through 0.0.21, including the two-pane Marketplace explorer, reliable cancellation of…
Marketplace is now a two-pane explorer: a browsable list on the left and full catalog metadata for the selected item on the right, with category tag filters that collapse behind a "more" toggle Stopping a session now actually stops everything it started. Stop stays available while child agents are running, and an abort propagates to delegated subagents and to teammates instead of leaving orphaned…
Beta: hand off local sessions to Cline Cloud and continue working from cloud workspaces, with recovery for interrupted transfers and preservation of the prompt, attachments, and session state. Beta: choose between local, SSH remote, and Cloud environments from the desktop app, with the experimental realtime voice and avatar overlay experiences included. Beta: the GitHub onboarding step is availabl…
Desktop v0.0.21-beta.1
Cline Desktop now ships on Windows: releases include a code-signed x64 installer, and installed apps auto-update on the same feed macOS does Windows shell fixes: background processes (the sidecar, git) no longer pop visible console windows; updates now download in the background and install when you restart the app; the MCP settings path falls back to USERPROFILE when HOME is unset Tool results th…
Session snapshot events no longer carry the full conversation transcript. Every session.updated (and session.created / session.detached / run.started) event embedded the session's entire message history, so on a multi-megabyte task each status flip shipped megabytes to every subscriber, flooded the durable event log, and could grow the hub process by one transcript copy per event — reported as a 2…
