v1.16.2

This release fixes workspaces that appeared to lose their history after updating to v1.16.1: Cursor chats, window layout, and other per-workspace data seemed to vanish. It also fixes Cursor devcontainers failing to connect.

Important

Nothing was deleted. v1.16.1 moved each workspace to a new SSH host (in Cursor, coder-vscode.… became coder-cursor.…), and editors store chats and layout under that address. Your data is still under the old one. The steps below get it back.

Get your chats and layout back

If a workspace lost its chats or layout after v1.16.1:

  1. Update the extension to v1.16.2.
  2. Open File > Open Recent. Your workspace appears twice.
  3. Pick the entry that starts with coder-vscode. That is the old address, and it holds your chats and layout. Skip the entry that starts with coder-cursor.

This is a one-time step. From then on, the workspace stays on the old address and your history stays with it.

Note

Some editors show a friendly workspace name instead of the full host. There, the old entry is the one marked (legacy).

What changed

A workspace now keeps the SSH host it was last opened on, wherever you open it from: the Coder panel, a dashboard or devcontainer link, or File > Open Recent, and whether it opens as a folder or as a multi-root workspace. Only a workspace you have never opened gets your editor's own host. (#1092, fixes #1094)

Other fixes

  • Cursor devcontainers connect again. Opening a devcontainer could fail to connect in v1.16.1. Devcontainers now open over the same host as the rest of the workspace. (#1092)
  • No more duplicate entries in Open Recent. A workspace listed on both hosts was two identical lines in editors that hide the host name. The shared coder-vscode host is now marked (legacy), and the folder picker lists each folder once. (#1092)
  • Support bundles look in the right place. A support bundle for a workspace you are not connected to now looks for remote logs under the host that workspace opens on, so a remote.SSH.serverInstallPath set for the shared host is no longer missed. (#1092)
  • Each editor connects with its own CLI and login. With the same workspace open in two editors, v1.16.1 could silently connect one editor with the other's Coder CLI and credentials. (#1092)
