Cline's long-awaited auto-approve fix landed overnight, but it's the telemetry drop in 4.1.11 that should have you checking your session metrics.

Cline's v4.1.15 release [1] fixes the MCP auto-approve toggle, which previously "appeared to do nothing" unless users had also opted in per-tool, and the same patch is already in the SDK bundle [2][3]. But the telemetry regression is the real story: a fallback that only lived inside shutdownSession silently dropped task.completed events after 4.1.11 re-routed interactive stops through releaseSessionRuntime [4][5]. Across the ecosystem, OpenHands is fixing a Windows desktop install where the bundled npm shims point at missing node_modules [6], and its cloud provider picker now follows next_page_id, surfacing all 135 providers past the default page size [7]. The working-dir fix for remote VM backends [8] and the new Linux desktop installer build [9] round out OpenHands' push. Langchain refreshed model profiles with 6 added and 2 removed across 4 providers, including the deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp [10], and added Corridor agent instructions requiring a mandatory analyzePlan step before code changes [11].
