Cursor: What's New in February 2026
A summary of all updates, new features, and bug fixes released for Cursor during February 2026.
New Features in February 2026
- Enabled Cloud Agents to use the software they create for testing changes and demonstrating work.(02-24-26)
- Introduced isolated Virtual Machine (VM) environments for each Cloud Agent running on your codebase, complete with a full development environment.(02-24-26)
- Cloud Agents now produce merge-ready Pull Requests (PRs) that include artifacts like videos, screenshots, and logs for easier review.(02-24-26)
- Introduced the Cursor Marketplace for discovering and installing plugins to extend Cursor's capabilities.(2.5)
- Enabled granular network access controls for sandboxed commands, allowing users to define allowed domains (User config only, User config with defaults, Allow all).(2.5)
- Enabled asynchronous execution for subagents, allowing the parent agent to continue working while subagents run in the background.(2.5)
- Enabled subagents to spawn their own subagents, supporting complex tasks like multi-file features and large refactors.(2.5)
- Introduced long-running agents capable of planning and completing larger, more complex tasks autonomously.(02-12-26)
- Enabled long-running agents to deliver larger, more complete Pull Requests (PRs) with fewer follow-up tasks.(02-12-26)
Bug Fixes in February 2026
- Fixed issues related to synchronous execution blocking the parent agent when using subagents.(2.5)
Improvements in February 2026
- Cloud Agents are now accessible across all Cursor platforms, including web, desktop, mobile, Slack, and GitHub.(02-24-26)
- Improved core agent capabilities, specifically around subagents, resulting in lower latency, better streaming feedback, and more responsive parallel execution.(2.5)
- Long-running agents demonstrated improved capability in completing work previously too difficult for regular agents during internal testing.(02-12-26)
All Releases in February 2026
02-24-263 featuresThis release introduces powerful Cloud Agents that operate within isolated VMs to build, test, and demo software directly from your codebase. Agents now deliver merge-ready Pull Requests complete with review artifacts, and are accessible across all Cursor platforms.
2.54 features1 fixThis release significantly enhances Cursor's extensibility with the introduction of the Cursor Marketplace for plugins, covering workflows from design to deployment. Key functional updates include enabling asynchronous subagents for better parallel task handling and introducing granular network access controls for sandboxed commands for improved security.
02-12-262 featuresThis release introduces long-running agents that can autonomously complete larger, more complex tasks by planning ahead. These new agents are now available for Ultra, Teams, and Enterprise users and result in more complete PRs.
