What the release notes say

  • Plugins now load inside the hub instead of a separate node or bun process, so the CLI no longer needs a JavaScript runtime on your PATH to run plugins. A plugin that fails to load no longer silently loses its tools: Cline prints a warning naming the plugin and the error, cline config tools --json lists it as a plugin_failure entry, and the new cline hub plugins shows each plugin's status and last error (--reload <plugin> re-imports one without restarting the hub). Set CLINE_PLUGIN_MODE=sandbox to keep the old subprocess behavior
  • --thinking now applies in ACP mode (--acp). Before, ACP sessions always ran with reasoning off
  • cline hook accepts agent_error events. Before, it exited with an error and no response
  • A provider API key set in the environment (such as OPENROUTER_API_KEY) now counts as configured at startup, for providers that read a single environment variable. Before, the TUI asked you to set up the provider anyway
  • With no model chosen, the Cline provider now uses the first model in Cline's recommended list (Claude Sonnet 5.5)
  • Turning reasoning off now works on every provider. Models that can't turn it off keep their default, and level-only Gemini models no longer reject the request with a thinking-budget error
  • Screenshots and other images no longer inflate the token estimate, which made auto-compaction run long before the conversation was near its limit
  • Auto-compaction uses the selected model's context window when the catalog entry has none
  • Scheduled runs: queued runs now start instead of staying pending forever, a run whose model call fails (for example, a retired model) is marked failed with the error, and after downtime only the latest missed occurrence of a schedule runs instead of every one back to back
  • Rule files that are symlinks now load
  • Skills in .claude/skills are now discovered
  • The editor tool no longer receives null in place of the text to replace from some models
  • Refreshed the model catalog. Adds the AI/ML API, LowRouter, and Prime Inference providers. The v0 provider now offers only its default model, v0-1.5-md, and OpenCode Go uses its new https://opencode.ai/inference/go/v1 endpoint. The Cline free list adds Step 5 Preview. Default models change for 302.AI, CrossModel, Cortecs, DigitalOcean, NEAR AI Cloud, and Ofox (Claude Haiku 5.5), DevPass (LLM Gateway), LLM Gateway, and Meta (Muse Wonder 1.0), Aixy (GPT-6.1 Sol), CloudFerro Sherlock and Moark (GLM 5.3), Ambient, NanoGPT, Neuralwatt, and Novita AI
