Cline v4.1.22

Cline

Cline v4.1.22 turns on Anthropic's refusal fallback

Direct Anthropic requests now use Anthropic's server-side fallback

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

In Cline 4.1.22, requests you send straight to Anthropic now use Anthropic's server-side refusal fallback. It's the setting Anthropic recommends, and it runs on Anthropic's side.

01 When a request fails

Cline4.1.22
Chapter
01

When a request fails

Failover, filters and API errors.

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

When a request fails.

Provider failover

Cline4.1.22
01 When a request fails

Anthropic models on OpenRouter and Cline can now fail over

Another upstream provider takes the request instead of it failing

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

If you use Claude through OpenRouter or through Cline itself, a request that one upstream provider can't serve can now move to another provider, instead of failing outright.

Content filter

Cline4.1.22
01 When a request fails

A blocked response now says it was blocked

Model returned empty response
CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

When a content filter blocks a response, Cline now tells you so and suggests rephrasing. Before, you got a message saying the model returned an empty response.

After an API error

Cline4.1.22
01 When a request fails

After an API error, you can send a new message

Retry is no longer the only way forward

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

After an API error, you're no longer stuck with the retry button. Type a new message and send it. A compact command typed during recovery stays in the box instead of reaching the model.

02 Models and providers

Cline4.1.22
Chapter
02

Models and providers

New defaults and two new providers.

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

Models and providers.

GPT-6.1 Sol

Cline4.1.22
02 Models and providers

GPT-6.1 Sol is the new default on eleven providers

Including OpenAI, OpenRouter and GitHub Copilot

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

GPT 6.1 Sol becomes the default model for eleven providers, including OpenAI, OpenRouter and GitHub Copilot. If you haven't pinned a model there, expect a different one.

Other defaults

Cline4.1.22
02 Models and providers

Six more providers change their default

  • CrossModel and Ofox move to Claude Sonnet 5.5
  • Vercel AI Gateway moves to Ling 3.1 Flash
  • Cline's recommended list adds Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5
CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

Six more providers change their default. CrossModel and Ofox move to Claude Sonnet 5.5, and Vercel's gateway to Ling 3.1 Flash. Cline's recommended list adds Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5.

New providers

Cline4.1.22
02 Models and providers

Bee and Pareto Inference join the provider list

Bee is by HEOSSI; Pareto Inference takes a PARETO_API_KEY

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

Two providers are new in this release. Bee, from HEOSSI, and Pareto Inference, which reads its key from its own API key setting.

03 Tasks and checkpoints

Cline4.1.22
Chapter
03

Tasks and checkpoints

Sign-in, Reset Code, cancel and tokens.

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

Tasks and checkpoints.

Sign-in

Cline4.1.22
03 Tasks and checkpoints

A task that failed sign-in now starts after you sign in

Your revised prompt starts the task

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

If a new task failed because you weren't signed in to Cline, signing in and submitting a revised prompt now starts the task with that prompt. Before, nothing happened.

Reset Code

Cline4.1.22
03 Tasks and checkpoints

Reset Code is disabled only when there's no checkpoint

On slow disks it no longer stays greyed out

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

Reset Code is now disabled on a message with no checkpoint. And on slow disks, it no longer stays disabled for a message whose checkpoint does exist.

Cancel

Cline4.1.22
03 Tasks and checkpoints

Cancel right after sending now stops the task

A cancel during turn setup used to be ignored

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

Hit cancel right after sending a message and the task now stops. A cancel that landed while the turn was still being set up was ignored, and the task kept running.

Reasoning tokens

Cline4.1.22
03 Tasks and checkpoints

Reasoning tokens are counted once

Token usage drops to the real number. Cost is unchanged.

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

Reasoning tokens were being counted twice in token usage. They're counted once now. The cost you were charged doesn't change, only the usage count.

04 Amazon Bedrock

Cline4.1.22
Chapter
04

Amazon Bedrock

Inference profiles and India regions.

CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

Amazon Bedrock.

Bedrock fixes

Cline4.1.22
04 Amazon Bedrock

Bedrock routes more models and regions correctly

  • GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 route through inference profiles
  • India regions resolve the in. profile
  • A legacy AWS profile setting carries over as profile auth
CHANGELOG.md · 4.1.22

On Bedrock, GPT 6 and GPT 5.6 now route through inference profiles, and the India regions resolve their own profile. An older AWS profile setting now carries over instead of being dropped.
