Cline Desktop v0.0.36 (2026-09-25) skips system HTTP(S) proxies for local hub checks, fits oversized windows to small/scaled displays, loads plugin slash commands on workspace open, and runs Bedrock GPT-6/GPT-5.6 without cross-region inference (India via in. profiles).

Key Takeaways

  • ✓Local hub checks bypass system HTTP(S) proxies (Clash/v2ray/corporate)
  • ✓Oversized windows shrink to fit and center on scaled 1080p displays
  • ✓Plugin slash commands load on workspace open with background retry
  • ✓Bedrock GPT-6/GPT-5.6 work without cross-region; India uses in. profiles
  • ✓Artifacts: deb/rpm/dmg/exe + signatures; Providers panel scrolls model lists

In-Depth Technical Analysis

Background

Desktop coding agents often break behind system proxies when local hub health checks are proxied. Scaled displays can clip settings. Bedrock OpenAI models sometimes required cross-region inference. Cline Desktop 0.0.36 targets these frictions.

Architecture

Local connection checks skip system HTTP(S) proxies while keeping exemptions. Oversized windows shrink to the screen (minus taskbar) and center. Plugin slash commands load on workspace open with background retry. Providers panel scrolls long model lists. Bedrock GPT-6/GPT-5.6 without cross-region; India ap-south-1/2 uses in. profiles.

Benchmarks

No public coding benchmarks in the notes; verify via the v0.0.35→v0.0.36 compare and signed deb/rpm/dmg/exe assets.
