We’re adding a Downloads page to cursor.com that will include all old builds. In the meantime, here are the build links for 0.42.5:
Mac - https://downloader.cursor.sh/builds/24111460bf2loz1/mac/installer/universal
Windows x64 - https://downloader.cursor.sh/builds/24111460bf2loz1/windows/nsis/x64
Linux x64 - https://downloader.cursor.sh/builds/24111460bf2loz1/linux/appImage/x64
Thank you, I will continue to use Cursor from now on!
does this mean in order to keep the old composer we no longer get updates? can we get the old composer back in please?
Thanks. I understand building software can get some strong reactions. Believe me, I face it all the time at work. Please continue to do the amazing work you’re doing! Perhaps you can have some sort of list of people who would volunteer to do UAT for new releases. I will have the latest version in my personal machine to find more issues and send it to you guys to help but for my corporate one I’ll rollback. Thanks again!!
Fortunately I was not automatically upgraded. But I have no notepad and after a month of being a user I do not see what Composer is or how to enable it. All I have is Chat and Review.

after uninstalling and installing old build , will my history of chat vanish or not can someone verify it
i like 0.43!
In my experience, chats with the newer version were visible, but not functional (e.g. unresponsive). I created a new chat and added relevant context, to continue. To my knowledge, there is not “uninstall”. To downgrade, I renamed the cursor app and simply installed the old one.
Thank you so much, downgraded and I’m happy again.
I tried working with the new Composer UI for the last few days and it just gets in the way. The sidebar takes up too much space (never used it before), shortcut for resetting/new composer rarely works (CMD N just creates empty files, not new composers), and using the composer as an editor pane keeps getting lost among all the other tabs. It just really breaks my flow.
I’d really appreciate if you can add an option to keep using composer as a floating window in newer versions.
Did downgrading affect your previous Composer history? Are old Notepads still in place? Could you please share your experience in bit more details? Since Cursor core team doesn’t seem to care.
Any instructions on how to downgrade? I’m afraid that I will lose all history if I uninstall and install again.
You should really make it possible to use stable and canary versions separately!
Ok, I downgraded. And I did lose all Composer history!! I wrote “I’m afraid that I will lose all history if I uninstall and install again.” and then I thought what a dumb fear after all, they probably took it into account, they’re smart and responsible…
Boy was I wrong… is there still any way to recover my Composer history??
Tbh, I’m not using Composer history at all. Claude’s performance drops so massively after just a few messages back and forth, I just keep reseting my composer all the time and include a text file with project goals.

To anyone not having any luck with cursor at all after the new big update, i thought i’d add what worked for me, as it’s so stupid that other people probably wont mention it.
Turns out i was conversing with “chat” in the top right of the AI pane, instead of Composer, which meant that it was useless at what i used to use it for, until i switched to Composer, and now it’s better than before.
Happy coding all. 
I’m hunting around for the previous OSX download links. 
Thank you. I had to downgrade as well, preferred the old composer.
+1, old Composer was gold.
+1 floating window, please bring that back.
