Update Available -- What's New?

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

It seems that every day I get the little bottom right notification that there’s an update. I get one option: basically update and restart. Where’s the release notes link? What’s new? Why am I updating? What are the risks? That information, with EVERY released update, should be available right there in that notification. I think this is a very, very reasonable request.

Steps to Reproduce

Wait for Cursor to have an update.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Irrelevant. All updates.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue


The version was relevant cuz maybe you set this setting to Nightly update? You can set to Default(Stable updates) or Early Access

Understood. Here’s that info. Note: I have never selected any update frequency, so I would assume it’s a “stable” (or “normal”) setup.

Thank you for the post. I have forwarded the details to our team to check and update in the Changelog.

There’s been at least three “Cursor Updated - Please Restart” (or whatever the bottom-left popup says) and I’m still not seeing any link to what I’m updating to. It’s VERY important with updates, more so for Enterprise customers, to know what we’re jumping into… is it something that might break our daily workflow? What about potential security issues? Etc. on and on. We really need to know what you’re updating!

This is the text, not what I said earlier. And interestingly, I JUST did this…. and here it is again? Some incremental “requires-the-prior-update” update?

rule of thumb - I always restart cursor before installing an update. Keeping it open for time in between multiple updates might stack up stale updates.

I’m seeing this now, which is nice. But I’d still like a direct link to Release Notes / What’s New BEFORE I click the Update Now / Restart button.
