Original release notes
Everything here lands through the SDK bundle, so it applies to windows running that bundle.
Fixed
- Cost estimates are no longer shown for providers billed by a flat-rate subscription (ClinePass, ChatGPT via Codex, and Claude Code). The task header and model pricing rows rendered API-rate dollar figures that read as real charges on top of the subscription, including a flash of them on every chat-view mount while provider listings were loading.
- Signing back in no longer moves your last-used provider off ClinePass on credential refresh.
- Hooks now resolve their workspace from the VS Code window instead of shared global state in
~/.cline. With a second window open on another project, a workspace's.clinerules/hooksscripts were never discovered, and hook cwd and the workspace paths passed to hook scripts resolved against whatever project some other or older Cline instance last recorded. - New files are now created with your platform's native line endings.
- Fixed the codebase search tool crashing on files containing a single enormous line.
- Credentials embedded in git remote URLs are now redacted from the workspace information sent to the model, which also now carries richer workspace metadata.
- Installing an MCP server from the marketplace no longer misreads the catalog's
--separator as part of the server command. - The hub's event log can no longer grow until it fills your disk.
Changed
- The per-tool MCP auto-approve checkboxes are hidden. MCP auto-approval is governed solely by the global "Use MCP servers" toggle - the per-tool checkboxes were no-ops that implied granularity the approval path does not have.
