Is it worth to change to 0.47.3?

Is it worth switching to version 0.47.3? I am on version 0.45.

Iā€™ve been using .46 and had the most recent stable release. Iā€™ve only had a couple of problems, which were patched out pretty quickly. I then tried .47 and saw an improvement in some of the responses, but I noticed that I was getting a hard lock on the max tool retries and couldnā€™t prompt past it.

In .46 and previous versions, if I had a max tool retry and it said Iā€™ve hit the maximum retries for a tool, Iā€™ve been able to prompt past it with continue and it would continue trying to get the tool applies to work. With .47, Iā€™m not able to do that.

Iā€™ve also noticed that in .47, the UI is a bit better, but it does group file edits together in previous chats and youā€™re not able to see what files were edited, when, and why. I am not fan of this grouping and removal of files that were edited in past chats and couldnā€™t find a way to remove it. .46 doesnā€™t do this, but 47 seems to do this by default and I find a way to turn it off.

I will often go through past chats to see what files were edited, when, and why it was edited. I will also look at past chats for previous restore points to go back if I am having an issue with a new chat and I want to go back to a specific point.

I would recommend going to .46 stable and not .47 at this time.

I found the setting to remove the group files feature in 0.47 by adding this to the .vscode folder and in the file called settings.json (if you donā€™t have this, then create it)

ā€œcursor.experimental.groupFileChangesā€: false

Agent is killing it for me with sonnet 3.5 (was also good with 0.46)

0.47.3 is the most stable Iā€™ve used, other than 0.45. My only issue now is that when I send a message, my entire app freezes solid for about 10 seconds, and then everything releases. Local Embedding? No clue. It was the first thought that came to mind.

Iā€™ve tried restarting, starting new chats, and everything. When it runs the agent, no resources other than the standard CPU usage are used. Still, itā€™s super annoying.

I will say that Claude seems to be functioning better. Itā€™s been dumb as a bag of rocks and has a worse memory than my stoner friend 90% of the time. That doesnā€™t appear to be the case now. Watch it start instantly once the reply button is pressed.

Anyone not getting the update: GitHub - oslook/cursor-ai-downloads: All Cursor AI's official download links for both the latest and older versions, making it easy for you to update, downgrade, and choose any version. šŸš€

I am confused by the question, the software is auto updating with out user approving the upgrade, its total madness.
