An IDE designed to be your
AI pair-programmer.

0.11.0 - 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.

0.10.0 - 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

0.8.2 - 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.

0.6.0 - 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.

0.2.44 - Improvements to many features, Fixes to Python

  • Improved the "@Add new doc" experience
  • Python/Pylance support has been restored
  • Better @ symbol keyboard ergonomics
  • Makes it clearer which docs are being looked at by the AI
  • AI will respond with citations when you refernce docs
  • Fixes Cmd-K for Jupyter
  • Chat/Edit tooltip blocks less code
  • Improves Cursor's appearance when custom themes are on
  • Importing VSCode extensions now takes into account enabled/disabled
  • Cmd-k should work better for long diffs (greater than 100 lines of code)

0.2.39 - 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)

0.2.36 - Hotfixes

  1. Chat works if you don't have a folder open again
  2. Cmd-shift-E to fix an error in chat works again
  3. cursor:// deep linking works now, so you should be able to log in to extensions
  4. Autoscrolling works again
  5. A few cmd-Z bugs for inline diffs have been squashed
  6. You can now use Run & debug in Cursor again (the toolbar is back)
  7. Early support for slash commands
  8. If you're not logged in, we show the popup to log in again
  9. Cursor is now based on version 1.79.2 of VSCodium, which comes with security updates and minor features

0.2.34 - Chat v2

The chat has been revamped! You can now use @ symbols to show files/code/docs to the AI. The chat history is improved, it's easier to see what the AI can see, and codeblocks auto-format on paste.

0.2.30 - Show the AI documentation

You can now have the AI read documentation on your behalf! This will improve it's ability to answer questions about your favorite libraries. To use this feature, simply press the "Docs" button in the top right of the chat pane.

0.2.27 - Codebase Context v2

We've improved codebase context!

In order to take full advantage, navigate to Settings (top right button), then "Sync the current codebase"

Login via github, then add the repo you wish to sync!

Following this, you'll be able to see an improved version of codebase context in the search pane, and in chat (by pressing cmd+enter).

0.2.26 - Codebase Context v1

Codebase Context v1

Introducing v1 of codebase-wide context! We'll be shipping major improvements to this in the next few days, but we'd love to hear your feedback.

Go to the "Search" pane in order to see the new context.

Or, on chat, press Cmd+Enter in order to get a response that uses context from the full codebase.

This should improve the quality of all of your generations, edits, and chats – GPT-4 is an absolutely amazing code model. Switching between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 is easy - just click on the settings gear in the top right corner of Cursor

  • 🤖 Generate entire projects with the AI (experimental). We’re releasing experimental support for a new feature that creates entire repos for you, from just one prompt.

🚀🌟 v0.2.0 - Introducing Cursor 0.2.0! (2023-04-06)

🚀🌟 Introducing Cursor 0.2.0! 🌟🚀

To focus on delivering the most advanced AI features at lightning speed, we’ve transitioned to building Cursor on top of a fork of VSCodium, moving away from our previous Codemirror-based approach. ⚡

With Cursor, our vision is to create an IDE specifically designed for pair-programming with AI 🤖 In the short term, it will resemble a typical code editor, but with cutting-edge AI capabilities. However, before long, we think programming with Cursor look be entirely different than coding today.

In order to achieve this transformation as quickly as possible, we’re focusing our efforts on enhancing the AI, rather than reinventing the wheel for standard text editing features. Building on the phenomenal foundation of VSCode/VSCodium will help us achieve this goal at a rapid pace! 🚀
