March brought one of the most significant upgrades to Windsurf, a complete rethinking of how completions work with the Windsurf Tab Experience, and multiple enhancements to previews, linter automation, and developer context. For enterprise users, updates focused on mention handling, model streaming, and fine-tuning fixes.
Windsurf Updates
Introducing Windsurf Tab
We’ve rolled Autocomplete, Supercomplete, Tab-to-Jump, and Tab-to-Import into a single, cohesive feature called Windsurf Tab. Powered by an enhanced model, Windsurf Tab makes coding faster, easier, and smarter by capturing context from your entire workspace—files, terminal outputs, clipboard, and even Cascade conversations.
- Smarter Context: Seamlessly integrates recently viewed files, terminal commands, and Cascade conversations into completions.
- Higher Quality Completions: Precisely picks between insertions and edits, doubling jump distances for faster navigation.
- Lightning-Fast: Predictive completions and improved network speed make interactions feel immediate.
- User-Friendly UI: Clear visual indicators and clickable suggestions make navigation intuitive.
Windsurf Previews (Beta)
Speed up your workflow with the new Windsurf Previews. Instantly preview local web applications and send components or console errors directly back to Cascade—no more manual copy-pasting or troubleshooting guesswork.
Cascade Auto-Linter
Cascade now automatically fixes lint errors in its own code edits, saving you debugging time and keeping your code clean. Best of all, lint fixes don’t consume any credits.
Easy MCP Server Discovery
We’ve simplified the way you find and configure useful MCP servers, unlocking smoother integrations and richer workflows with less setup hassle. Currently available for Pro and Pro Ultimate plans, with Teams and Enterprise support coming soon.
Tab to Import
Automatically get inline suggestions to import dependencies right as you type. Accept them quickly with a single tap of the Tab key, streamlining your coding process.
Suggested Actions
Cascade now proactively offers clear next-step suggestions, keeping you effortlessly in the coding flow and eliminating guesswork.
Gemini 2.5 Pro (Beta)
Gemini 2.5 Pro is here in beta, giving developers a powerful model to efficiently tackle complex coding tasks. It’s accessible to everyone on Free and Pro plans, providing precise responses and streamlined tool integration.
Drag-and-Drop Files
Quickly attach files or editor tabs to Cascade by simply dragging them into your input box. This frictionless feature speeds up your workflow and supports all file types.
Model Option Admin Control
Admins for Teams and Enterprise plans can now control which AI models are accessible, ensuring consistent, compliant, and secure coding environments.
Miscellaneous Improvements
- Claude Sonnet 3.7: Improved performance and reliability.
- Windows ARM: Now supported in beta.
- Quick Settings & Advanced Settings Panels: Redesigned for simplicity and ease of use.
- Resource Efficiency: Better CPU and memory management.
