Cline v0.1.52 adds custom OpenAI-compatible provider support, PWA installation, and fixes for diff viewing, terminal colors, and session persistence.
TL;DR
- Connect any OpenAI-compatible API as a Cline model provider
- Web UI now installable as a PWA with offline fallback
- Sticky diff headers and improved terminal color handling
New
- Custom OpenAI-compatible providers — plug in any OpenAI-compatible API as a Cline model provider, giving you flexibility to use alternative endpoints or self-hosted solutions.
- PWA support — install the web UI as a standalone desktop app from Chrome with window controls overlay and offline fallback that auto-reconnects when the server returns.
- Sticky file headers in diff viewer — file headers now pin under the toolbar while scrolling through large diffs, keeping context visible.
- Cleanup spinner on shutdown — Ctrl+C now shows a spinner instead of silently hanging during shutdown.
Fixed
- Codex status monitoring now reliably tracks the latest tool call.
- Terminal color detection fixed for TUI apps like Codex CLI that query both foreground and background colors at startup.
- Activity preview text no longer gets truncated in hooks.
- Project column sizing now persists across sessions.
- Home sidebar session IDs now match the current format.
