- Remove the Cline model picker recommendation copy.
- Remove all references to GLM 5.1.
New plan/act accent palette: act mode is now blue (`#79b8ff`) and plan mode amber, replacing the old cyan/yellow — applied across dialogs, the model selector, config, onboarding, markdown, and syntax highlighting, with light-theme variants tuned for contrast
- Restyled chat input: a minimal frame with full-width horizontal rules and a bold accent prompt glyph instead of the tinted background, plus slimmer user-message bubbles
- Assistant markdown accents are now tinted by the mode (plan/act) they were produced in
- Polished the status bar usage display and ClinePass model name

-

-
Polished the status bar usage display and ClinePass model name
-
Harmonized the success/diff green and dark syntax-highlighting colors with the new brand palette
-
The thinking-level picker now defaults its cursor to Medium instead of Off
-
read_filesnow tolerates malformed input from weaker models: line-range entries (start_line/end_line) sent as separate array items are coalesced back onto the preceding file path instead of being rejected (from SDK v0.0.58) -
Models in the live catalog that don't report a context window now default to a 128K input-token limit, so under-specified models get a usable context budget (from SDK v0.0.57)
Excerpt ends here — this release continues at the source ↗.
Weaker models (e.g.
- DeepSeek) that emit malformed tool calls — wrong argument types or truncated JSON — are now handled gracefully and run instead of erroring out
- Plan/act mode switches are now visible to the model, so it knows when you change modes mid-session
- Fixed plan/act mode notices being dropped from prompts sent to the model
- Fixed a race where switching modes in an empty session could trigger an unexpected restart
Fixed plan mode's `switch_to_act_mode` tool not taking effect until the end of the turn: the model would keep running with plan-mode tools (no file editor) and fall back to editing files through shell commands.
- Switching to act mode now ends the plan-mode run and automatically continues with the approved plan using the full act-mode toolset.
- A Tab mode toggle racing a completing turn can no longer auto-start plan execution you didn't approve.
ClinePass is now enabled for all CLI users
- Recover missing interactive sessions when reading messages
- Format structured commands in history export
- Add the subscription promo code when linking to the dashboard subscription page
- Add Tencent TokenHub as a provider (from SDK v0.0.55)
- Fix first-prompt truncation on high-output models (e.g.
- MiniMax M3) that could immediately auto-compact and cut the initial task down to just the input wrapper (from SDK v0.0.55)
- Use a curated default when migrating legacy provider settings (from SDK v0.0.55)
- +2 more changes

Generalize the model capability warning so it applies more broadly.
Primary source ↗Add support for Claude Sonnet 5 across the Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex, Claude Code, SAP AI Core, OpenRouter, and Vercel AI Gateway providers, including model picker and recommended-model updates.
Primary source ↗Fully remove the ClinePass feature flag so ClinePass is available everywhere in the UI — onboarding, settings, the welcome promo banner, and the credit-limit "Switch to ClinePass" action.
