3.17: Global Workflows, UX Improvements, and More
Cline v3.17 brings several solid improvements to enhance your development workflow. The highlight is Global Workflows – a feature many of you have been requesting – along with a redesigned settings interface and expanded provider support.
Global Workflows
The standout feature in this release is global workflows. If you've built a workflow that works brilliantly in one project, you can now share it across all your workspaces.
Here's how it works:
- Global workflows live in
~/Documents/Cline/Workflows - Local workflows in
.clinerules/workflows/take precedence
What's New
Major Updates:
- Global Workflows for sharing across projects
- Claude 4 (Sonnet & Opus) support across all providers (Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI)
- Redesigned settings page with tabbed interface
- Nebius AI Studio integration (Thanks @Aktsvigun!)
- Enhanced Act mode prompts with hotkey suggestions
Fixes & Improvements:
- MCP server configuration fixes
- Requesty provider model listing
- Consolidated advanced settings
- AWS Bedrock environment variable handling improvements (Thanks @DaveFres!)
- Various stability improvements
UI/UX Refinements
Beyond the headline features, we've made several quality-of-life improvements:
Redesigned Settings Page: Split into tabs for easier navigation. When you're managing multiple API keys, model selections, and MCP configurations, organization matters. (Thanks to Yellow Bat @dlab-anton for this contribution!)
Smart Act Mode Prompts: Cline now highlights and suggests hotkeys when the assistant prompts you to switch to Act mode. It's a small touch that makes the Plan/Act workflow more intuitive.
MCP Server Fix: Fixed a configuration bug that was preventing some MCP servers from initializing properly.
