UPDATE (0.31.1 - 0.31.3): Adds back in AI Review (alpha), fixes the "Cursor Settings" menu item, and fixes a bug where @web doesn't return a response.

Mar 20, 2024

Faster Copilot++, Claude

  • Faster Copilot++: We've made Copilot++ ~2x faster! This speed bump comes from a new model / faster inference. ~50% of users are already on this model, and it will roll out to everyone over a few days. If you'd like to enable the model immediately, you can control your model in the bottom bar of the editor.
  • Stable Claude Support: All the newest Claude models are available for Pro and API key users. Head to Settings > Models to toggle them on. Pro users get 10 requests / day for free and can keep using Claude at API-key prices for subsequent requests.
  • Team invites: We made it a bit easier for you to invite your colleagues to your Cursor team. You can send these from the editor's settings or at cursor.com/settings.
  • Admin improvements: Team admins can now mark themselves as unpaid users and can see the last time team members used the product.
  • New Settings: We moved all our settings to be accessible by the gear in the top right. No more "More" tab!

Mar 12, 2024

Claude Support

If you’re a Pro or Business user, you can add "claude-3-opus" as a custom model in the Settings page and use 10 fast requests per day for free (unlimited slow, but the delay increases exponentially).

We expect to roll out a more permanent solution (including API key users) very soon.

Mar 1, 2024

Polish

AI Notes enabled by default (hold shift on any symbol), better in-editor chat, auto-execute interpreter mode, better onboarding styling, nicer feedback modal, and a few stability fixes.

UPDATE (0.29.1): Fixes a bug where the Copilot++ sometimes would not show a suggestion even if one existed, a bug where the hint line would sometimes cover the ghost text, and a bug where AI Notes would not work on Windows.

Feb 23, 2024

VS Code 1.86.2

Cursor is now based on VS Code 1.86.2! Among other things, this adds sticky scroll support to tree views. Also, cmdk prompt bars are now sticky.

UPDATE (0.28.1): Fixes spacing issue with codebase chat, fixes getcursor/cursor#1236.

Feb 15, 2024

Linter, Interpreter Mode Updates

Two new updates to experimental features:

  • Linter: You can now turn on an AI linter in the "More" tab beside Chat. It'll scan your file for small bugs every time you save.
  • Interpreter Mode: We've made some big improvements to the backend powering interpreter mode! It should now be much better at using tools and understanding your project.

UPDATE (0.27.1-0.27.4): Fixes to Windows build, chat context UI, onboarding.

Feb 9, 2024

AI Previews Beta

AI Previews: this is an experimental new code reading feature. After enabling in the "More" tab beside Chat, just hold shift to see a generate some quick notes about the symbol you're on. If you'd like us to dedicate more time to this direction, please let us know.

Other changes:

  • Fine-grained chat replies (start by hovering over the area of the response you want to reply to)
  • Copilot++ quality of life improvements (show ghost text more often, toggle on/off on the status bar, make it easier to see the suggestion box)
  • Smoother onboarding (fix Windows settings import, option to import folder/window state)

Feb 2, 2024

Cmd-I to Heal

Hold down cmd-I over a selection to heal the code with GPT-4. Useful for writing pseudocode and having the AI convert it into correct code. Please let us know if you find it useful!

Feb 2, 2024

Command-K Vision Support

You can now drag images into the Command-K prompt bar!

Other changes:

  • You can now search through past chats.
  • "Apply Diffs" from chat should be a bit faster.

UPDATES:

Jan 25, 2024

@Web, gpt-4-0125-preview

Using @Web in chat will give the AI the ability to crawl the web! The tools it can use include a search engine and a documentation site crawler.

This feature is still experimental. We're very interested in improving the ability of the AI to understand external libraries, and your thoughts will help us improve :).

Both pro and API key users can also try out gpt-4-0125-preview by configuring the model under Settings > OpenAI API > Configure Models. We’re testing the new model right now for pro users to see if it performs better than all older versions of gpt-4. If so, will roll out as the default experience.

UPDATE (0.24.3-0.24.4): Adds ability to configure OpenAI base URL, fixes getcursor/cursor#1202.

Jan 18, 2024

New Model, Apply Button v2

  • "cursor-fast": This is a new model available in command-k and chat. Expect it to be a bit smarter than gpt-3.5, and with many fewer formatting errors.
  • Apply button: We've added some polish to the "apply codeblock" experience in chat.
  • Chat lints: If the AI suggests a code change in chat that involves a made up code symbol, we'll underline it. Availble for Python, Typescript, Rust.
  • More chat symbol links: When the chat references a code symbol, you'll often be able to click directly to it.

UPDATE (0.23.3-0.23.9): Fixes to Command-K, changelog auto-opening, editing very long lines with Copilot++, the "delete index" button, connection errors being silenced, and proxied authentication.

Jan 15, 2024

Cursor-Fast Model

Cursor-Fast is a newly trained model between gpt-3.5 and gpt-4 coding capabilities, with very fast response times (~3.5 speed). We'll be working to improve its performance over the coming weeks. Counts the same as 3.5 usage.

Try using it for Cmd+k!

Bug fixes:

  • Working WSL codebase search
  • Supports newer version of python extension

Jan 6, 2024

Dev Containers

Dev containers are now supported! This build also:

  • Upgrades Cursor to VS Code 1.85, which comes with support for dragging out tabs into a new window.
  • Improves the stability of WSL.

Jan 3, 2024

Early Preview: Hold-cmd-tap-shift to Trigger AI Rewrite

Hold down command, press and release shift, and continue holding down command. This will trigger tha AI to rewrite code around your Cursor — you can think of it as a manually triggered GPT-4-powered Copilot++. You can use it to write pseudocode and have the AI correct it, or for tedious refactors where Copilot++ doesn't quite suffice.

Dec 31, 2023

Aux Window Fixes

You can now use chat and cmd-k in the aux window without too many problems.

Dec 30, 2023

VS Code 1.85.1

Cursor is now based on VS Code 1.85.1, which, among other things, includes floating editor windows. Just drag and drop an editor onto your desktop to try it out.

Dec 29, 2023

Multiple Command-K, Copilot++ UI

You can now run multiple Command-K's in parallel! Also, it should now be easier to see change Copilot++ is suggesting.

Dec 16, 2023

Copilot++, @ previews, AI Review

  • @ previews: We made it easier to see what codeblock you're @'ing.
  • Copilot++: We've contined to improve the Copilot++ ghost text experience. Surprisingly, many of us now enjoy using Copilot++ without any other autocomplete plugin installed.
  • AI Review (beta): This is a new experimental feature that let's GPT-4 scan your git diff or PR for bugs. You can enable it in the "More" tab beside chat. Feedback is much appreciated.

UPDATE (0.20.1-0.20.2): We added TLDRs to make it easier to sort through the bugs flagged by the AI review and fixed a bug with "Diff with Main."

Dec 14, 2023

Copilot++ Improvements

We made Copilot++ faster, smarter, more constrained, and switched to a ghost-text + hit-Tab-to-accept UI. Would love your feedback.

Dec 2, 2023

Smarter Followups

Running Cmd+enter on followups should result in much better codebase results.

Dec 2, 2023

Lowercase @ Folders Fix

Fixes the bug where all folders are switched to lowercase when using @ folder in chat.

Nov 30, 2023

Better Context Chat, Faster Copilot++

  1. Better context chat: in particular, followups are now smarter!
  2. Faster Copilot++: a few hundred milliseconds faster, through various networking optimizations. We still have several hundred additional milliseconds to cut here.
  3. More reliable Copilot++ changes: less flashing, better highlighting of what's new.

Nov 27, 2023

Image Support, Interpreter Mode Beta, @ Folders

  • Image Support in Chat: You can now drag and drop images into the chat to send them to the AI.
  • Interpeter Mode Beta: You can now enable Interpreter Mode in the "More" tab. This gives the chat access to a Python notebook, semantic search, and more tools.
  • @ folders: You can now use the @ symbol to reference specific folders! We'll try to pick out the most relevant code snippets to show the AI.
  • Copilot++ Improvements: We've spent some time improving the latency of Copilot++, and you can change the Copilot++ keybinding to not be Option/Alt. More to come here soon, especially on the model itself!

Nov 24, 2023

GPT-V Windows Bug-fixes

Fixes the bug where images weren't showing up or being sent to server on Windows.

Nov 24, 2023

@folder

You can now @folder in the chat to chat with a folder. Let us know what you think!

Nov 22, 2023

Interpreter Mode Beta

Experimental feature: go to "More" > "Interpreter Mode" to enable it. Gives the model access to a Python notebook where it can take actions in the editor. Please give us feedback in the Discord! We'd love to know if you find it useful.

Nov 21, 2023

GPT-V Support

Integrates GPT-V into chat for the editor. This means you can take screenshots/images and drag it into the chat inputbox to have Cursor use them as context. This is an experimental feature and very limited by capacity, so you may see errors during traffic spikes.

Nov 15, 2023

Copilot++ improvements and VS Code 1.84.2

Copilot++ improvements:

  1. Caching — add and delete a letter and the suggestion will still be there for you!
  2. Do not interfere with intellisense and cmd-k.
  3. Fixes bugs with lag on large files and with the blue highlight staying around.
  4. Copilot++ sees your lint errors and will use this to improve its suggestions

Cursor is now based on VS Code 1.84.2. Notably, this fixes a few notebook bugs, and ensures that all of the most recent extensions work.

Nov 15, 2023

New upstream

Now based on VS Code 1.84.2. Notably, this fixes a few notebook bugs, and ensures that all of the most recent extensions work.

Nov 12, 2023

0.15.5 - Copilot++ improvements, Bug fixes

  • Copilot++ improvements: Includes green highlights to see what Copilot++ has added, the ability to accept multiple Copilot++ suggestions immediately one after another, support for Copilot++ on SSH, and fixes to how Copilot++ UI interacts with autocomplete plugins.
  • Bug fixes: Fixed a bug where Cmd-k could get into a bad state when removing at the top of a file. And another that was causing some files to not be indexed.

Nov 10, 2023

0.15.1 - New models, Copilot++ beta

  • Command-dot: you can now use the Command-dot menu to have Command-K fix lint errors inline.
  • New models: you can plug in your API key to try out the newest gpt-4 and gpt-3 turbo models. We're evaluating the coding skills of these models before rolling out to pro users.
  • Apply chat suggestions: click on the play button on any code block to have the AI apply in-chat suggestions to your current file.
  • Copilot++ (beta): this is an "add-on" to Copilot that suggests diffs around your cursor, using your recent edits as context. To enable it, go to the "More" tab in the right chat bar. Note: to cover the costs of the AI, this is only available for pro users.
    • This is very experimental, so don't expect too much yet! Your feedback will decide which direction we take this.

Nov 9, 2023

Indexing fixes

Fixes a problem where indexing got stuck. Indexing capacity is now also allocated by-user, so it should be more fair and faster for most users.

Nov 3, 2023

Pro++, Word-wrapping diffs, and more

  • Pro++ plan: if you hit your fast request limit and prefer to purchase more, you now can.
  • Chat scroll: we got rid of sticky scroll to make the chat easier to read.
  • Cmd-K diffs: these now obey word-wrap! You can also copy from the red text.
  • Fixed the bug where you can't use chat on a diff view.
  • Shipped better error logging, which should help us improve stability.
  • Styling tweaks: some buttons and hints should look nicer!
  • Screen flickering: made a change that should reduce screen flickering on monitors.

Oct 20, 2023

0.13.4 - New VS Code version

Cursor is now based on VS Code 1.83.1. This ensures that the newest versions of all extensions will work without problem in Cursor. Thank you to everyone who urged us to do this on the forum!

Also, there's an experimental bash mode: enable it in the settings, and let the chat answer questions with the help of running bash commands. If you find it useful, please let us know, and we will spend more time on making it production-ready!

Update: this change resulted in a problem with SSHing into old Linux distros. This has now been fixed!

Oct 5, 2023

0.12.3 - Small fixes

Bug fixes: (1) .cursorignore now completely respects .gitignore syntax, (2) codebase queries use the embeddings index if >= 80% of it is indexed, instead of requiring the entire thing to be indexed, (3) removed fade-in animation on startup, (4) no longer overrides cmd-delete in the terminal, (5) fixes problem where cmd-F randomly has the case-sensitive option enabled, (6) inline gpt-4 is turned off until we figure out a better UX, (7) even more stable and fast indexing, (8) progress indicator in search and extensions, (9) bug where an incorrect bearer token is passed to the server.

Oct 3, 2023

Jupyter Import Fix

Fixes a bug that prevents importing the jupyter extension from VS Code.

Oct 1, 2023

Indexing, cmd-k in terminal, @git, /edit, bugfixes

  1. Indexing should now be faster, more stable, and use less of your system resources. You can also configure ignored files in a .cursorignore. The controls are in the "More" tab.
  2. Cmd-k is now in the terminal! A bit hackily implemented, but surprisingly useful.
  3. Ask about git commits and PRs using @git in chat!
  4. Use /edit in the chat to edit a whole file (if less than 400 lines). Expect the edits to be fast and GPT-4-quality. This uses non-public models, and is for now only available to users who do not use their own API key.
  5. Bugfixes! Fixed the "ejected from slow mode" UI, added auto-switching logic for the model type when switching on API, improved @ symbol speed, fixed Windows keycommand to be Ctrl-Shift-Y instead of Ctrl-Y, and more.

Sep 27, 2023

/edit in chat

You can now use an early preview of /edit in the chat! It's significantly faster at editing entire files than just using cmd-k. The /edit feature is currently only supported if you do not use your own API key, since it relies on non-public models.

Sep 23, 2023

gitignore and search hotfix

  1. Fixes an annoying gitignore path bug
  2. never lets your root directory be in the gitignore
  3. fixes search over the repository.

Sep 22, 2023

Stable Indexing v0.1

Stable version of indexing. this should be much more stable than previous versions.

Sep 21, 2023

Cmd-K in the terminal!

Hacky first version of cmd-K in the terminal! Let us know what you think.

Sep 20, 2023

0.11.8 - Patches

Fixes issues with Cmd-k, SSH, Python support, Vim (rolling back to 1.25.2 until this issue is fixed: VSCodeVim/Vim#8603), and other extensions.

Sep 20, 2023

More Stable Codebase Indexing

We ship a new version of indexing which should be significantly more stable than previous versions

Sep 19, 2023

Inline Chat

You can now alternate between diffs and texts responses in Cmd-K. This can be helpful for clarifying the models thinking behind a diff or for getting quick inline answers to questions about a file.

Sep 17, 2023

Cursor Python and Cursor Marketplace

We point to a different marketplace for downloading extensions, and use a fork of ms-python and pyright to provide python support.

Sep 11, 2023

Re-enable Cursor Python

We re-enable cursor python in nightly, this time with defaults that more closely resemble pylance.

Sep 11, 2023

Cursor Marketplace

We serve extensions now using Cursor's Extension Marketplace

Sep 10, 2023

Quick question and @chat in cmd+k

Ask a question about an edit that the model with option+enter, or bring in context from the chat with @chat! An early preview, so please let us know what you think.

Sep 10, 2023

Fixed builtin cursor-python defaults

The defaults for cursor python are different than pylance, which has affected several users. We make them closer to the pylance defaults in this update.

Sep 8, 2023

Styling

Updated some css!

Sep 8, 2023

Better Docs Management, Staged Rollouts

Docs

The main addition in this update is better docs support. This means you can add and remove docs and inspect the urls that are actually being used for each doc you have uploaded. You'll also be able to see what webpages end up being shown to GPT-4 to provide you an answer.

You can also paste a url into the chat and the model will automatically include it in the context being used. Teams can also share private docs.

Staged Rollouts

Following this update, future updates should come as staged rollouts. This will mean greater guarantees of stability and more frequent updates.

Long files in chat

We continued to improve the experience of chatting with large files. If you @ multiple files that are too large to fit in GPT-4's context window, we'll intelligently pick the most relevant chunks of code to show to show the model.

Bug fixes:

  • Copy Paste chat text form Jupyter
  • Some chat focus issues
  • UI tweaks
  • Better state management - prevents crashes from editor using too much memory

Sep 7, 2023

Hotfix for indexing

Fixes a bug with indexing if you had turned off indexing by default.

Sep 8, 2023

@definitions in cmd+k

Also fixes a few cmd+k bugs, as well as introduces new cmd+k bugs! Please report all cmd+k bugs you find to us in the Discord channel.

Sep 7, 2023

New AI Project

We release an improved New AI Project feature to nightly users. This is a more robust chain and cleaner UX for producing a project end-to-end.

It still struggles with coherently producing large complex projects, but produces much better first drafts than previously

Sep 7, 2023

Better State Management

We no longer store any full files in memory and prevent users from @'ing very large files (> 2MB) This should reduce any significant memory issues that users have been experiencing.

Sep 5, 2023

Docs updates

Updates to docs (try pasting a link in chat, you can delete/edit docs, you can see citations), @ symbol performance on long files in chat should improve, and more.

Sep 5, 2023

Cursor-Python LSP

Ships with cursor-python, a Language-Server fork of pyright built for Cursor

Sep 2, 2023

Staged Rollouts

We can push an update to a randomly sampled small fraction of our users before rolling out to everyone.

Aug 22, 2023

WSL Fixes

Applies the patch from Github across all your WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) distros, either automatically or through the "Fix WSL" command palette command.

Aug 22, 2023

Cmd-k Followups, chat with large files, and more

  • You can now reply to Cmd-K outputs, making it much easier to have the model revise its work.
  • If you @ reference a long file that will be cutoff by the context limit, you'll be given the option to automatically chunk the file and scan it with many GPTs.
  • Codeblocks and code symbols in "with codebase" responses will now often be clickable.
  • Follow-up chat messages to "with codebase" will keep the codebase context.
  • Nicer error messages in the chat! Fewer annoying popups.
  • Activity bar elements can now be reordered with drag-and-drop.
  • SSH support is now more robust! Please continue to let us know if you are experiencing any SSH problems.

0.6.2-nightly - Improved linter

A copilot experience powered by gpt-4

Long AI completions

If you press ⌘/^+↩️ on any line, you will now get gpt-4 powering fast-completions for you! We know that sometimes all of us want copilot to write an entire function or a big chunk of code. But copilot can be slow and sometimes just not smart enough :(. So we're trying to solve this with a new completion experience powered by gpt-4. Just press ⌘/^+↩️ and you'll get a long completion from gpt-4.

Better support for remote-ssh

Remote-ssh is now built-in to cursor. You do not need to edit the behavior, it should just work :) We know this has been a big blocker for many users that rely on remote machines for development. If you are still running into issues, please let us know and we will fix it ASAP.

AI linter

The AI linter is now enabled for everyone in pro! The AI will highlight suspicious parts of your code in blue. You can also add your own lint rules that you want that are easy to express in natural language but aren't covered by traditional linters.

Experimental: interface agent!

This nightly build comes with experimental interface agent support!

The goal: you write an interface specification, and an agent writes both the tests and the implementation for you. It makes sure that the tests pass, so you don't even need to look at the implementation at all.

We think this may enable a new kind of programming, that's kind of different to what we're all used to. Please experiment with it and let us know your thoughts in the Discord channel.

How to use it:

  1. It only works in Typescript with vitest or mocha as test runners right now.
  2. Hit Cmd-Shift-I, and give your new interface a name.
  3. Write the methods you want your interface to have.
  4. Hit Cmd-Shift-Enter, and the AI will write the interface for you!

Jul 4, 2023

Fix for Cmd+K

Patches a few edgecases with Cmd+K.

Jul 4, 2023

Release for Linux

This build has no changes for Mac and Windows, but fixes a problem for Linux users who can now upgrade to the latest version.

Jul 3, 2023

New inline edits

Cmd+K's UI has been changed: it's in-editor, "sticky," and @-symbol-compatible. We hope it helps you stay in flow and more quickly iterate on your prompts. (Also, you can now use up/down arrows for history in chat.)

Also, Cursor's AI will now use popular documentation to improve the answers to your questions. For example, if you ask it "how do I grab all s3 buckets with boto3?" it will search over the boto3 docs to find the answer. To add your own documentation or explicitly reference existing docs, type '@library_name' in chat.

Bug fixes:

  1. Long code selections no longer brick the editor
  2. Auto-fixing errors no longer brings up the problems view (in particular, this fixes an annoying bug if you have auto-fix on save turned on)

Jun 27, 2023

More fixes

  • Better @ symbol keyboard ergonomics
  • Fixes a bug where Cmd+K turned off for some users.
