Cursor AI Timeline: Release Dates & Version History

Cursor began as an AI code editor with code completion, inline edits, and codebase chat. Composer added multi-file editing, and later releases introduced cloud agents, Cursor’s own coding models, and an agent-focused interface.

This timeline lists the release dates for major Cursor versions, including Cursor 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, along with important updates to Composer, the Cursor CLI, and mobile apps.

Last updated: November 2, 2026.
