Devin Desktop
Devin fixes sidebar lag in Desktop and authentication issues with certain MCP servers in Local.
Devin Desktop
- Faster sidebar for users with thousands of cached sessions: filtering, space grouping, and sorting now only process the sessions actually fetched for display, eliminating multi-second lag after “Reload Window” or while scrolling.
Devin Local
- Fixed authentication issues with certain MCP servers, such as self-hosted GitLab servers and older Atlassian MCP instances

Devin Desktop
Windsurf adds major updates across Devin Desktop, Local, and Cloud, including better update prompts, cleaner editor and terminal workflows, conversation sharing, stronger customizations and permissions, and smoother session handling with new diff, fork, and queued-message tools.
Devin Desktop
- “Restart to Update” now asks for confirmation when local agents are still working and says how many will be stopped; cloud sessions keep running.
- Settings and Keyboard Shortcuts open as regular editor tabs by default; set "workbench.editor.useModal": "all" to keep the modal overlay.
- Fixed a bug with accidentally triggering editor keybindings from the agent chat.
- The old “Plugins” section for IDE extension marketplaces has been renamed to “Extensions”.
- Hide Cascade-specific configuration and customization options when Cascade is disabled for your team.
- Visual polish for the Agent Command Center: left-aligned titlebar, unsaved-changes indicator on file tabs, no more Cmd+P open/close flicker, aligned PR icons in Quick Open, full-width sidebar title renaming, and dragged session tabs that pick up their session name.
- Starting an agent in a new worktree that fails now surfaces the git error instead of quietly running in your workspace.
- Terminal: Create New Terminal in Editor Area now works inside worktrees.
- Codemaps and MCP configuration files now open from the remote machine when connected over WSL, SSH, or a dev container.
- Teams plan members no longer see quota warning banners they cannot act on.
Devin Local
- Devin Local conversations can be shared: Share Conversation uploads a sanitized transcript (system prompts and tool definitions dropped, secrets redacted, paths normalized) and copies a team-visible link. Share directly from the actions menu below a completed turn.
- Reverting is reliable mid-turn: revert buttons appear as soon as a prompt is sent and reverting while the agent is working cancels the turn first.
- The Customizations panel has search across every section (skills, subagents, rules, hooks, plugins, MCP servers), a new Subagents section, a refresh action for plugins, and an info indicator explaining why an enterprise-required plugin can’t be removed.
- Plugins installed from Customizations are added to your personal plugins by default, so they are available in Devin Cloud and on your other devices; choose Install locally for a device-only install.
- Permission rules from different levels (enterprise, mode, user, project, subagent) now compose predictably — an explicit deny: always wins, “always allow” options only appear when the grant would actually take effect, and denials say which layer denied them.
- Fixed rendering of commands whose output contains non-UTF-8 bytes.
- Ensured sudo password prompts can’t hang a command.
- Separate each MCP server’s logs into its own MCP: output channel.
Devin Cloud
- Session size chips use the same enterprise ACU thresholds as the web app, and auto-continuation billing notices appear inline in the transcript.
- Queued messages can be edited: click the edit button or press ⬆ in an empty input to pull the last queued message back.
- The +X −Y diff summary on a collapsed agent group is now clickable and opens a multi-diff editor with just that group’s files.
- “Duplicate session” and “send as fork” open the fork in a new tab, keeping the original conversation open.
- “Grant access” on a network access request is disabled with an explanation when an admin owns the session’s network policy.

Fixed
Windsurf fixes Windows certificate and symlink write issues in Devin Desktop and Local.
Fixed
- Devin Desktop for Windows loads root and intermediate certificates from the Windows certificate store again, so sign-in and other HTTPS requests no longer fail with self signed certificate in certificate chain behind a TLS-inspecting proxy or a corporate root CA.
- The edit , write , apply_patch , and notebook_edit tools in Devin Local now refuse to write through a symlink, so an approved edit can no longer be redirected to an unexpected file.

Fixed
Windsurf fixes analytics to wait for account status, preventing telemetry on accounts that have it turned off.
Product analytics are no longer started before your account status resolves, so telemetry is never collected for accounts that have it turned off.
