Cline shipped cli-v3.0.67, sdk/sdk/v0.0.89, and desktop-v0.0.40 on 2026-09-30: oversized MCP/Composio tool results are cached with a bounded preview plus a cline://cache/... URI pageable via read_files (16 MiB/session, expire after five unread model iterations); custom providers from providers.json/models.json now resolve on the agent path instead of failing with Unknown or disabled provider; recommended catalog adds GPT-6.1 Sol and refreshes several gateway defaults.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓Trio: CLI 3.0.67 (23:42:02Z), SDK 0.0.89 (23:34:22Z), Desktop 0.0.40 (23:56:13Z) on 2026-09-30
  • ✓Oversized MCP/Composio: preview + cline://cache/... pageable via read_files; opt-in resultPolicy: "cache-oversized"; 16 MiB/session, expire after 5 unread iterations
  • ✓Custom providers now register via resolveGatewayProviderRegistration(Sync) on the agent path
  • ✓Catalog: GPT-6.1 Sol recommended; refreshed defaults for 302.AI/NanoGPT/Vivgrid/Vultr; Vultr id renames may need re-pin
  • ✓Desktop remembers Cloud vs Local + Cloud model; MCP settings honor CLINE_* path env vars consistently

In-Depth Technical Analysis

Background

MCP/Composio tool dumps often exceed context; prior Cline builds truncated and lost the tail. Custom providers.json/models.json entries appeared in pickers but failed on the agent path with Unknown or disabled provider.

What shipped

SDK 0.0.89 caches oversized outputs with a preview + cline://cache/... URI pageable via read_files (16 MiB/session, expire after five unread iterations; opt-in resultPolicy: "cache-oversized"). CLI 3.0.67 and Desktop 0.0.40 mirror the behavior. Custom providers register through resolveGatewayProviderRegistration(Sync). Catalog adds GPT-6.1 Sol and refreshes gateway defaults.

Benchmarks

No SWE-bench numbers. Anchors: CLI 2026-09-30T23:42:02Z, SDK 23:34:22Z, Desktop 23:56:13Z; npm @cline/[email protected].
