This release is all about making the system more resilient and easier to manage. It matters most to developers and system admins who use Cline hubs to manage AI tasks, because they can now update and restart their systems without interrupting users.
What's new
- Safe pausing (
cline hub drain): You can tell a hub (the central manager for AI tasks) to stop accepting *new* tasks that change data, while it finishes up the work it's already doing. You can turn this off with--off. - One-command upgrades (
cline hub upgrade): This safely pauses the hub, waits for it to finish all current work, shuts it down, and starts a fresh version. If you cancel the upgrade halfway through, it automatically un-pauses the hub so it doesn't get stuck refusing work. - Sessions survive restarts: If the hub restarts, connected users won't lose their progress. The system automatically catches up users on anything they missed while disconnected, and it uses ID tags to make sure no updates are sent twice.
Improvements
- Better tracking: Langfuse (a tool for monitoring AI behavior) now properly records which user and session an AI task belongs to. Previously, some tasks showed up without this grouping information.
- Updated model catalog: The built-in list of AI models has been refreshed. This updates the available models and their prices across several providers (like DeepSeek, Eden AI, and others), and it changes the default model that gets picked for you when using those services.
Fixes
- Fixed broken tools for custom models: If you hooked up a custom OpenAI-compatible AI model, the system was accidentally stripping away the AI's ability to use tools (like searching the web or reading files). This happened because the system was guessing what the AI could do based on shortcut settings, and it incorrectly treated those guesses as a hard "no." This is now fixed.
