Cline 4.1.10 adds in-task web search and fixes two Cline builds killing each other's Hub daemon in a loop
Cline's 2026-08-14 release lets models that support it search the web during a task behind a Feature Settings toggle, with search calls and results appearing in the conversation and persisting across reloads — everything shipping through the SDK bundle, leaving the legacy bundle unchanged from 4.1.9. The more instructive fixes are multi-instance ones any local agent runtime hits: two Cline installations on different builds were shutting each other's Hub daemon down in a loop and killing live sessions with an abnormal socket close, now resolved by comparing build identity through a total order so at most one side of a pair can retire the other, plus deferring Hub replacement until idle and reclaiming idle plugin sandbox processes mid-session.
