Feature0.0.20

Desktop v0.0.20

Cline Desktop now ships on Windows with auto-updating, improved shell handling, and inline image rendering for tool results. Major fixes include scheduled task persistence, better session search across full history, improved provider credential detection, OAuth sign-in error handling, and MCP server stability.

  • Cline Desktop now ships on Windows: releases include a code-signed x64 installer, and installed apps auto-update on the same feed macOS does
  • Windows shell fixes: background processes (the sidecar, git) no longer pop visible console windows; updates now download in the background and install when you restart the app; the MCP settings path falls back to USERPROFILE when HOME is unset
  • Tool results that return images — screenshots from browser or MCP tools — now render as inline images you can click to expand, with a carousel for stepping through multiple images, instead of raw base64 text
  • Session search now covers your full indexed history. The sidebar search icon opens the command bar (Cmd/Ctrl+P) with server-ranked results, instead of a sidebar-local dialog that first loaded every session into memory
  • Onboarding has a new GitHub integration step
  • Fixed scheduled tasks disappearing after the app updated — hub-managed schedules were being wiped by cron reconciliation on restart
  • Agent-created schedules now live in one user-level home (~/.cline/schedules) instead of being scattered across whichever chat folder created them, and they now appear on the Schedules page
  • A finished scheduled session now surfaces its final answer: the completing step auto-expands, is labeled "Scheduled task completed" (or failed), and its summary renders as markdown
  • Suggested routine templates now ask for a specific final report, so a scheduled run ends with something readable
  • Providers no longer show as "Configured" on the strength of a leftover settings entry with no real credentials, and the badge now updates live after connecting or saving credentials instead of waiting for a remount
  • Fixed OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT subscription) sign-in silently dead-ending when callback port 1455 was already in use — it now fails immediately with an actionable error, and OAuth redirect errors surface instead of a confusing "Missing authorization code"
  • Codex and OCA sign-ins are no longer dropped when a token refresh hits a transient network failure or server error
  • Checkpoint restore now refuses to reset your workspace when commits were made after the checkpoint, instead of silently knocking them off the branch
  • Fixed an enabled-but-offline remote MCP server stalling session startup until the session was torn down
  • Global rules stored at ~/Cline/Rules are now discovered (previously only ~/Documents/Cline/Rules), fixing rules that never reached the model on WSL and headless installs
  • apply_patch now preserves a file's own CRLF line endings
  • The window title bar stays draggable across every view
  • Voice input's Live and After recording badges now have tooltips explaining them
  • Removed the box shadow from the chat message actions row
  • The hub no longer watches agenda spec directories while the todo tool is disabled, dropping an OS watch handle per known workspace
