This release is a focused security and safety update for anyone using Devin to write or modify code. It matters most to developers who want to ensure their AI assistant only changes the exact files they approved, keeping their projects predictable and secure.
Fixes
- Stopped edits from going to the wrong place: Devin uses several tools to edit files (
edit,write,apply_patch, andnotebook_edit). Previously, these tools could follow a "symlink" (a shortcut on your computer that points from one file to another). This meant you might approve an edit to one file, but the shortcut would secretly redirect that edit to a totally different location. Now, the tools refuse to follow these shortcuts, so an approved edit will always go exactly where you expect it to.
