desktop-v0.0.20
ClineSummary
This release introduces inline image rendering for tool results and a more robust session search covering your full history. Key improvements include a new onboarding step for GitHub integration and enhanced Windows shell stability, alongside numerous bug fixes for scheduled tasks, sign-ins, and workspace management.
New Features
- Introduced inline rendering for tool results that return images, allowing users to click to expand screenshots and use a carousel for multiple images.
- Enabled session search to cover the full indexed history, opening the command bar (Cmd/Ctrl+P) with server-ranked results.
- Added a new GitHub integration step to the onboarding process.
- Introduced suggested routine templates that now ask for a specific final report, ensuring scheduled runs end with readable output.
- Enabled global rules stored at `~/Cline/Rules` to be discovered, improving rule functionality on WSL and headless installs.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed scheduled tasks disappearing after app updates by ensuring hub-managed schedules are not wiped by cron reconciliation.
- Fixed OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT subscription) sign-in silently dead-ending when a specific callback port was in use, now providing an actionable error.
- Fixed Codex and OCA sign-ins from being dropped during token refresh when encountering transient network failures or server errors.
- Fixed checkpoint restore from silently removing commits made after the checkpoint, now refusing to reset the workspace in such cases.
- Fixed an enabled but offline remote MCP server from stalling session startup.
- Fixed an issue where the window title bar was not draggable across all views.
- Fixed the hub from watching agenda spec directories when the todo tool is disabled, preventing unnecessary OS watch handle usage.
Improvements
- Cline Desktop now ships on Windows with a code-signed x64 installer, and installed apps auto-update on the same feed as macOS.
- Improved Windows shell experience by preventing background processes from opening visible console windows, enabling background update downloads, and falling back to `USERPROFILE` for the MCP settings path.
- Refactored session search to open the command bar with server-ranked results instead of a sidebar-local dialog that loaded every session into memory.
- Consolidated agent-created schedules into a single user-level home directory (`~/.cline/schedules`) and made them appear on the Schedules page.
- Improved the display of finished scheduled sessions by auto-expanding the completing step, labeling it clearly, and rendering its summary as markdown.
- Updated provider status to accurately reflect configuration by removing the 'Configured' badge for entries with no real credentials and enabling live updates after connecting or saving credentials.
- Ensured `apply_patch` now preserves a file's own CRLF line endings.
- Added tooltips to Voice input's Live and After recording badges to explain their functionality.
- Removed the box shadow from the chat message actions row for a cleaner UI.
