Continue v1.0.65 fixes JetBrains IDE freezes, adds DeepSeek Reasoner support
Continue released v1.0.65 for JetBrains IDEs and v1.3.36 for VS Code, focusing on stability fixes. The update addresses IDE freezing issues in JetBrains, adds compatibility with DeepSeek's reasoning model, and fixes multiple memory leaks and crash conditions.
Continue v1.0.65 Fixes JetBrains IDE Freezes, Adds DeepSeek Reasoner Support
Continue, the open-source AI coding assistant, released v1.0.65 for JetBrains IDEs and v1.3.36 for VS Code, prioritizing stability over new features. The update targets multiple crash and freeze conditions that affected JetBrains users.
Key Fixes
JetBrains Stability: The release hardens remote config sync to prevent IDE freezes and chunks large JCEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) messages to prevent sidebar freezes. These were critical stability issues affecting the plugin's usability in JetBrains products.
DeepSeek Reasoner Compatibility: Continue now maps max_tokens to max_completion_tokens for DeepSeek's reasoning model, enabling proper integration with OpenAI-compatible API adapters. This fix allows users to leverage DeepSeek's chain-of-thought reasoning capabilities through the Continue extension.
Memory and Crash Prevention: The update resolves multiple technical issues:
- Memory leak in CoreMessenger's responseListeners
- DiffStreamHandler crashes from unsafe type casting and negative line number handling
- Disposed JCEF browser reference guards in sendToWebview
- SideEffectNotAllowedException in intention previews
- Message type pass-through synchronization between core and JetBrains implementations
Test Updates
Binary test expected files were updated to reflect architectural changes in the JetBrains implementation, ensuring test coverage remains current with the codebase.
Dependency Updates
The continue-sdk package bumped brace-expansion from 5.0.4 to 5.0.5, addressing a minor dependency security advisory.
Version Alignment
With JetBrains at v1.0.65 and VS Code at v1.3.36, the extensions continue on separate version tracks reflecting their distinct codebases and release cadences. Both share the same core Continue engine but maintain separate UI implementations for their respective IDEs.
What This Means
This patch release signals Continue's focus on reliability over feature velocity. JetBrains users experienced real stability problems—IDE freezes are showstoppers—making these fixes essential for production use. The DeepSeek Reasoner integration is timely, as reasoning models gain adoption among developers. These aren't flashy features but they address the gap between Continue's promise and actual user experience in enterprise IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and GoLand.
