plugins: Cascade adds usage meter
Two releases of plugins shipped this week, with the main change being the addition of a real-time context window usage meter in Cascade, which helps developers monitor context window consumption during conversations. This change is useful for developers working with models in Windsurf. The releases also include various fixes for IDE crashes and formatting issues.
v2.11.3 (Next) · December 3, 2025
Release v2.11.3 includes a new feature that displays a real-time context window usage meter in the footer of Cascade, as well as several patch fixes, including resolved IDE crashes and fixed code indentation formatting issues.
