# Change Log

## [2.1.1]

- Add stricter prompt to prevent Cline from editing files during a browser session without first closing the browser

## [2.1.0]

- Cline now uses Anthropic's new "Computer Use" feature to launch a browser, click, type, and scroll. This gives him more autonomy in runtime debugging, end-to-end testing, and even general web use. Try asking "Look up the weather in Colorado" to see it in action! (Available with Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2)

## [2.0.19]

- Fix model info for Claude 3.5 Sonnet v1 on OpenRouter

## [2.0.18]

- Add support for both v1 and v2 of Claude 3.5 Sonnet for GCP Vertex and AWS Bedrock (for cases where the new model is not enabled yet or unavailable in your region)

## [2.0.17]

- Update Anthropic model IDs

## [2.0.16]

- Adjustments to system prompt

## [2.0.15]

- Fix bug where modifying Cline's edits would lead him to try to re-apply the edits
- Fix bug where weaker models would display file contents before using the write_to_file tool
- Fix o1-mini and o1-preview errors when using OpenAI native

## [2.0.14]

- Gracefully cancel requests while stream could be hanging

## [2.0.13]

- Detect code omission and show warning with troubleshooting link

## [2.0.12]

- Keep cursor out of the way during file edit streaming animation

## [2.0.11]

- Adjust prompts around read_file to prevent re-reading files unnecessarily

## [2.0.10]

- More adjustments to system prompt to prevent lazy coding

## [2.0.9]

- Update system prompt to try to prevent Cline from lazy coding (`// rest of code here...`)

## [2.0.8]

- Fix diff editor not opening sometimes in slow environments like project idx

## [2.0.5]

- Fixed bug where Cline's edits would stream into the active tab when switching tabs during a write_to_file

- Improved automatic linter/compiler debugging by only sending Claude new errors that result from his edits, rather than reporting all workspace problems.

## [1.8.0]

- You can now use '@' in the textarea to add context!
    - @url: Paste in a URL for the extension to fetch and convert to markdown, useful when you want to give Claude the latest docs!

    - @file: Adds a file's contents so you don't have to waste API requests approving read file (+ type to search files)
    - @folder: Adds folder's files all at once to speed up your workflow even more

## [1.5.27]

- Adds search to Task History

## [1.5.6]

- You can now edit Claude's changes before accepting! When he edits or creates a file, you can modify his changes directly in the right side of the diff view (+ hover over the 'Revert Block' arrow button in the center to undo `// rest of code here` shenanigans)

## [1.5.4]

- Adds support for reading .pdf and .docx files (try "turn my business_plan.docx into a company website")

## [1.5.0]
