Devin CLI v3000.5.20 Changelog

This update is all about making Devin easier to manage and less frustrating to use. It gives you more control over your saved sessions, helps you keep an eye on costs, and fixes a bunch of glitches that used to make the terminal feel laggy or eat your text. If you use Devin for big coding projects, this release makes the day-to-day experience much smoother.

What's new

• Delete sessions: You can now use devin rm <session-id-or-name> to delete a session. It asks for confirmation first, and won't let you delete it if another Devin window is already using it.
• Quick desktop launch: Typing devin desktop opens the Devin Desktop app if you have it. You can also just type devin . to open the app right in your current folder.
• Profile checker: The new devin doctor command checks your custom subagent profiles (helper AIs) for formatting errors in their setup files.
• Catch-up summary: Typing /recap makes the AI give you a short summary of what it has done so far, key decisions it made, and where the project currently stands.
• Rename sessions: You can use /rename <new title> to give your current session a new name.
• Plan mode shortcut: Pressing Alt+P turns "Plan mode" on or off without erasing what you're currently typing.
• Smarter handoffs: When moving a session to the cloud, /handoff now asks which operating system to use if your team has more than one option, instead of just guessing.
• Research tools: "Ask" and "Plan" modes can now use read-only web and notebook tools to do research.
• Plugin updates: Plugins now work with the standard Agent Plugins 1.0.0 format.
• Better plans: When in Plan mode, the AI saves its plans to a file so they always have a clear title and summary.
• Model tracking: When a helper AI is using a different "brain" (model) than the main AI, the screen now shows which one it's using.
• Clearer costs: If you pay with credits, the model picker now shows exactly how many credits each message costs (like 1.25 credits / message) instead of just a vague label.
• Image paste hint: When you have an image copied to your clipboard, the bottom of the screen reminds you to press Ctrl+V to paste it.

Improvements

• Instant commands: Quick commands like /status or /help now run immediately, even if the AI is still working. They don't have to wait in line anymore.
• Side chat: The /btw command now opens a side panel. You can ask it questions about your code while the main AI keeps working in the background.
• Usage tracker: /usage now shows a better dashboard with progress bars for your daily and weekly limits, plus more info about your current session.
• Easier session picking: When looking for an old session, it now shows all of them by default, putting the ones from your current folder at the very top. Press Alt+G to only see the ones in your current folder.
• Background commands: The background shells tray (Ctrl+B) now lists all the commands running in the background.
• Cleaner command titles: The cards showing commands now skip useless words like cd or sudo and show the actual important command.
• Better message queue: If you type multiple messages while the AI is busy, they now show up in a special "N queued" area above your text box, with hints on how to edit or send them immediately.
• Faster startup: Devin opens much faster now, especially if you're working in a huge folder with lots of rules and skill files.
• Safer cancellations: On Mac/Linux, when you cancel a command, Devin tries to close it nicely first, and only force-closes it after a 5-second grace period.
• Better bug reports: /bug now opens a proper bug-reporting window, stops you from submitting if your app is too old, and gives you a receipt of what was sent.
• Visual polish: The whole interface looks cleaner. Code blocks have better padding, text is aligned better, and the welcome screen is now a compact tips card.
• Broader plugin support: Plugins can now load hooks from more places, and custom profiles accept more setup options.
• Redesigned model picker: Choosing which AI model to use is now easier and shows pricing more clearly.

Fixes

• Usage limit alerts: Hitting your monthly limit now shows a helpful "Usage limit reached" message with a link to request more, instead of a confusing permission error.
• Full background output: Background commands now show their full live output even after the AI finishes its turn, instead of cutting off at 1,000 characters.
• No more lost output: Command cards can now hold up to 3,500 lines of history. They no longer lose chunks of text if a command spits out a lot of code really fast.
• Memory leak fixed: Commands that output endless text no longer eat up all your computer's memory.
• Smarter session continue: Using --continue now finds the most recent session in your folder that isn't already open, instead of crashing if your last session is locked.
• Settings bug fixed: If you have one wrong value in your config.json file, Devin no longer deletes all your other settings.
• Folder name fixes: Permission rules now work correctly even if your folder name has special symbols like *, ?, [, or ].
• Hook fixes: Lifecycle hooks (scripts that run automatically) now trigger correctly when a session ends, and get the right folder paths.
• Plugin visibility: Skills, rules, and profiles that come from installed plugins now actually show up in your lists, labeled with the plugin's name.
• Skill text fix: When you use a skill, it now passes the entire instruction file to the AI instead of cutting it off halfway.
• Subagent fix: Pressing x on a helper AI now only stops that specific helper, instead of cancelling everything the main AI is doing.
• Update repair: If an update gets interrupted and breaks your installation, devin update can now fix it automatically.
• Windows fixes: Multi-line pastes no longer break into separate messages, cancelled commands actually kill the whole process tree, and it now checks per-user folders to find Chrome.
• Terminal fixes: Lots of visual glitches are fixed—selection lists scroll properly on small screens, text doesn't leave stray highlighted boxes, and the screen flickers less when you resize it.
