This release focuses mainly on stability and performance improvements to make existing features work better.

Key Improvements​

Performance & Stability​

  • Memory Usage and Performance: The new release uses less memory and is more stable.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: All keyboard shortcuts are now available in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu. Go to Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts to modify or add new shortcuts.
  • Early access opt-in: You can now opt in to early access from Settings > Beta > Update frequency.

User Experience​

  • Auto select model: We choose the most appropriate premium model for the task at hand based on performance, speed, and availability so you get performance even during model degradation or outages.
  • Themes: New and updated themes including Cursor Dark, Cursor Midnight, and Cursor Dark (High contrast).
  • UI improvements: Improved tool calling UI, thinking UI and error messages in chat. We've also added a new update notification in the app to make it clearer when a new version is available.

Developer Tools​

  • Rules: Allow nested .cursor/rules directories and improved UX to make it clearer when rules are being applied.
  • MCP: Added global server configuration with ~/.cursor/mcp.json and support for environment variables.
  • Sonnet 3.7 thinking: We've made a few improvements to 3.7 prompting. Thinking will now cost 2 requests instead of 1. More improvements will be rolling out in the coming days.
  • Ignore files: Improved .cursorignore behavior to more consistently exclude files

New Features​

  • Upload multiple images: You can now upload multiple images at once in chat.
