Cline v4.0.2 Changelog

This release is all about giving you better control over how the AI thinks, especially if you use DeepSeek or ClinePass. It matters most to power users who want to fine-tune how much brainpower the AI uses to solve complex problems, while also smoothing out some annoying interface bugs.

What's new

• "Extra High" thinking mode: For certain AI models (like DeepSeek's "thinking" models), you can now tell the AI exactly how much effort to put into reasoning. There's a new "xhigh" (extra high) setting for really tough problems that need deep thought before answering.
• Better ClinePass controls: ClinePass (a service that connects you to AI models) got an upgraded menu. It's now much clearer how to pick which AI model you want and how to adjust its thinking settings.

Improvements

• Cleaned up model names: The app now uses the official, standard ID names for Z.ai and ClinePass models. This makes the whole system more organized and reliable behind the scenes.

Fixes

• Missing settings menu fixed: Previously, the controls to adjust the AI's thinking effort weren't showing up for ClinePass models. That menu is now visible where it should be.
• Model selection fixed: The way the app picked ClinePass models wasn't perfectly lined up with the rest of the system. It’s now synced up correctly.
• Environment variable bug squashed: The app wasn't properly swapping in "environment variables" (hidden system settings like passwords or file paths) inside its visual interface. This is now fixed.
• Settings toggle fixed: A switch for "focus chain" (a setting for how you navigate through the app using your keyboard) used to show the wrong status when you loaded the app. It now shows the correct setting right from the start.
