Released Aug 28, 2026. First Windows Desktop release: code-signed x64 installer with auto-updates; background processes no longer pop console windows; MCP settings path falls back to USERPROFILE when HOME is unset. Inline image rendering for tool results with click-to-expand and a multi-image carousel. Full session search via the command bar (Cmd/Ctrl+P) with server-ranked results. New GitHub onboarding step. Scheduled tasks now persist in ~/.cline/schedules and surface their final answer on completion. Provider badges update live after credential changes. OpenAI Codex sign-in fails fast with an actionable error when callback port 1455 is in use. Checkpoint restore refuses to reset a workspace when commits were made after the checkpoint.

Why it matters

Windows parity is a real unlock for non-macOS enterprise rollouts; inline image rendering + checkpoint-restore protection directly improve the visual-debug and safe-resume loops.
