Hello Cline community 🫡

Cline v3.18.1-4 is a patch release series that addresses the terminal output issues that have been affecting your smooth usage of Cline.

The Terminal Fix

Terminal bugginess has been a persistent problem, preventing Cline from receiving necessary context when executing commands. The fix is elegantly simple: when the shell integration API fails to capture output, Cline now automatically falls back to reading the terminal content directly using the same mechanism that powers our "Terminal Output" feature.

No more blind spots – Cline now sees what you see in the terminal, regardless of shell integration status.
