This release updates the bundled Devin Local agent to 2026.5.26. See the changelog for the full list of changes.

• Devin Local is now aware of the files you have open in the editor as part of its context.
• When prompted for an MCP tool permission in Devin Local, two additional server-level options are now offered: approve all tools on the server for the current session, or permanently.
• Repaired hooks for Devin Local to allow blocking user prompts.
• Improved plan mode in Devin Local to work in the OS sandbox.
• "Always Allow" permission grants in Devin Local now persist across sessions.
• Image attachments in Devin Local now show the correct warning when the selected model does not support images.

All Windsurf IDE users now have access to Devin Review and Quick Review with your existing subscription.

• Devin Review is available for all self-serve users, with a 2 week free trial.
• Enterprise users can only use Devin Review with a Cognition platform agreement.

Agent Command Center

• Added list display option for the agent inbox
• Improved sessions sidebar sorting and filtering

Windows updates

We have fixed a bug preventing updates for some users on Windows. To upgrade to this version, you may need to:

• Wait for the update to download.
• Once it is downloaded, open Windows Task Manager and close all devin.exe processes
• Proceed with installing the update and restarting Windsurf

Bug fixes and improvements

• Fixed bugs with some MCP servers
• Improved reliability of Devin Local agent

Devin is now available for Terminal. All Windsurf users can use this new CLI agent with your existing subscription.

• Runs on your machine — Optimized for interactive work, with full access to your codebase, tools, and environment.
• Hand off to the cloud — Seamless hand off to Devin in the cloud, with its own VM, testing, video recordings, autofix and more. Come back to a finished PR.
• Multi-model — All of your favorite frontier models in one place, including Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5, and SWE-1.6.
• Fast — Written in Rust and so performant that the binary can run on an original VT100.

Devin Agent in Windsurf

You can also enable the new Devin Local agent in Windsurf. This is the same agent harness used on the terminal and sessions can be accessed from both Windsurf and the CLI.

In our testing, it's up to 30% more token-efficient than the existing Cascade agent.

Additional Changes

• Improved search subtitle layout during streaming
• Fixed file drag-and-drop in agent window Cascade tabs
• Fixed Go to Line/Column keybinding on Windows/Linux (Ctrl+Shift+G)
• Added support for server-driven extension deny lists
• Stability and performance improvements
