This release is a solid mix of new choices and behind-the-scenes maintenance. It matters most to people who use Cline for coding, especially those who rely on the ClinePass subscription, because it expands your free options and fixes a few annoying glitches that could mess up your workflow.
What's new
- Free model choices: You can now select Cline's free AI models right from the model picker menu when using the ClinePass provider. A "provider" is just the service that supplies the AI brainpower.
- Background system tracking: A background helper program (called a "daemon") now sends back telemetry—anonymous usage data that helps the creators understand how the app is running. This data now includes a specific user ID so they can better track issues.
Improvements
- Better edit tracking: When you use the
str_replacetool to edit code, it now shows accurate "diffs." A diff is just a clear summary of exactly what lines were added or removed, making it much easier to double-check your work. - Smarter identity tracking: When Cline talks to its AI providers, it now sends "versioned client-identity headers." This just means it sends a label telling the server exactly which version of the app you're using, which helps the server give you the right response.
Fixes
- Fixed OpenAI Codex details: The information (metadata) for the OpenAI Codex model under the GPT Subscription provider was wrong, and is now corrected.
- Fixed memory loss during compaction: "Context compaction" is when the tool shrinks down your chat history to save memory. There was a bug where this process could wipe out the main, official session history. That's fixed now, so your past work stays safe.
- Removed retired model: The old ClinePass GLM 5.1 model was taken out of the menu since it's no longer supported, keeping your options clean and up-to-date.
