The AI-centric IDE for developers, Windsurf, has just received its Wave 6 update from Codeium. The big new feature in this update is called Deploys which is said to let developers deploy websites or JavaScript web apps publicly with a single click. This feature allows developers to significantly streamline their work, unlocking productivity gains.
Another big development in this wave is the availability of previously unveiled features being made available for Enterprise users. The features will be on by default, but admins can turn them off via the admin portal. Some of the new features include Model Context Protocol (MCP), Turbo mode, and Commit Message Generation.
Here’s an overview of the main features in this update:
- Deploys: A single click is all it takes to package and share your Windsurf-built apps on the public internet
- Enterprise access to MCPs, Turbo Mode, and more: All introduced in previous waves, now available to enterprises (with admin control in place)
- Commit message generation: Single button to summarize current diff
- Conversation Table of Contents: UX for easy access to past messages and revert capabilities
- Long conversation performance: Reduced degradation of response quality the longer that a Cascade conversation goes
- Tab improvements: context includes user search, Jupyter Notebook support
- Miscellaneous improvements: MCP SSE support, a couple new icons, ability to edit suggested terminal commands, and more
The Windsurf IDE is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you’ve not tried it you can get it from the website’s download page. Meanwhile, if you already have it installed, press the profile icon drop down and then click Check for Updates.
For those not familiar with Windsurf, it’s an IDE for developers writing code. It has multiple pricing plans, including a free plan. It’s an AI-native IDE and can help you write code, rather than having to consult Google if you get stuck.
