Devin Desktop shipped updates around August 1, 2026, addressing key issues for Windows users and those working with Devin Local tools. The updates fix problems with loading root and intermediate certificates from the Windows certificate store, which previously caused sign-in and HTTPS requests to fail behind a TLS-inspecting proxy or a corporate root CA. Additionally, tools like edit, write, apply_patch, and notebook_edit in Devin Local now prevent writing through symlinks, enhancing security by ensuring approved edits are not redirected to unexpected files.
