Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

The “New update available” pop-up should provide the version number of the update. It should also be expandable to see a changelog with the summary of the updates.

The “Patches” details that were on the website changelog back in 1.7 were great and let us know if a specific build was worth updating to. Look at it from the customer perspective… I don’t want to waste time installing updates every day without knowing what is in them. I also don’t want to update immediately to a major version release without knowing what is changing, and without a version number of the update I have no idea what I’m getting myself into. Adding a simple summary of each update to inform your customers seems like a low effort - high reward feature.

Thanks Andrew -

I posted my most recent specific issue here: 2.1.47 tool calls failing . Staying on 2.1.42 as a workaround.

This type of thing happens not-infrequently. Would be great to have “stable” versions, or at least detailed changelogs to help with downgrading as necessary and debugging.
