Summary
The release adds native macOS notifications, voice input, streaming command output, background execution for long-running commands, inline image generation, and collapsible summaries for completed runs. It also adds a separate Cline Code Beta application and fixes session-policy, skills, checkpoint, and command-execution issues.
Why it matters
Cline is making coding-agent sessions more asynchronous and usable while work continues outside the immediate terminal view.
