Curious about changlog

Can we make sure either in the forum or on the site there is a clear indication of what is in an update release? I am running it now but I have no idea what’s changed.

Change logs have gotten more detailed as of late, which is nice.

UPDATE (0.44.1-0.44.11): Fixes and improvements to dev containers, chat codeblocks on windows, and the agent. Decreases Cursor Tab Latency on Remote SSH. Fixes bug that prematurely triggered the free trial ended popup. Better observability for errors and crashes.

@anon-9002714 @ChangeLog should should be a stickied post for perpetuity in the forum until 1.0.

And have the freaking ChangeLog Agent Bot just update the .RMD.

go to Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor and there the latest version will download

Seems good and stable. Just wish I knew what was in it specifically :slight_smile:

Thanks - Yeah I saw that but it’s my plight to help change the mindset about releasing software for a technical audience without mentioning what’s specifically in it. Range based release notes are fine for a marketing site but I feel are insufficient for a technical workflow tool in which making a hasty update from a working release to a non-essential release could leave you with a broken tool. The cursor team is aware of and knows what in the releases especially if .11 was released just a few hours after .10. So it would be good to bring us along.

We need the DOgBot to eat its own DogBits

Why isnt there a running cursor agent with directives to produce the changelogs and we can all see how that bot was setup so we can adopt it to our own projects and have @chage_log_bot callable to update…

I already do this with development_diary directives:



and such…

The frequency of the endless “Generating…” nightmare is much much higher I have noticed. This is so infuritating.

Hey, if you open the developer tools (CMD+SHIFT+P then run Developer: Toggle Developer Tool command), do you see any errors when you hit the generating bug?

We found a bug that caused this in the past that we patched, but it’s possible something else is blocking things from working correctly still!

Our changelog can be found at Changelog | Cursor - The AI Code Editor

We release updates using a gradual rollout so, by default, not everyone gets the update at the same time. This length of the rollout depends on how big the update is in terms of changes to the app but usually is 2-3 days for most rollouts.

We usually add release notes to our changelog once the rollout has made it to a certain portion of our users as if there is a bug early on, we want to catch it and fix it before the release notes are out for a broken update!

Hope this makes sense, but in short, release notes should be out by the time the update is widely available!

Thats not really the solution to op. I have this issue as well. I’ve updated at least twice since 0.44 came out, cursor prompts me to update, i click view changelog, and its like oh wow just the changelog from 0.44 i already saw.

This is what I see when it stops which it does much more frequently. This screenshot is from 0.44.11

It would be great if you can explain what is changed in each of the minor version updates specifically (0.44.X), rather than grouping the minor changes all in one generic statement that doesn’t provide much information.

Minor updates are usually just bug fixes and stability improvements, hence why we don’t log anything specific about what’s changed there.

However, there are rarely any changes to how features in Cursor work, so nothing exciting to mention there.

There is always speculation in the Discord when a new minor version gets released. Even if there’s barely any changes, I think it would reassuring to the user knowing exactly what changes/improvements have been made.

Lol, let’s add example to the chain-of-thought prompt for human-brain LLMs because in my opinion we are not being heard…

In total agreement of what had beed said before by others, here is bottom part with smth I would like to see, took the data from the changelog page and reformatted:

Changelog:
0.44.0: Initial minor release (the outline is above with all the bullet points)
0.44.1 Fixes and improvements to dev containers
0.44.2 Fixes to chat codeblocks on windows, and the agent
0.44.3 Decreases Cursor Tab Latency on Remote SSH
0.44.4 Fixes bug that prematurely triggered the free trial ended popup
0.44.5 Better observability for errors and crashes
