Released · Factory

What the release notes say

Chat history on scroll, a stricter telemetry opt-out, plus Script, plugin, and MCP improvements

New features

  • Older chat messages on scroll - Older messages now load as you scroll up instead of needing a button

Improvements

  • Remote Control naming - Registering your own computer for remote access is now called Remote Control
  • Running Scripts after compaction - Droid keeps track of Scripts still running after a session compacts
  • Plugin loading at startup - Startup no longer waits on plugin downloads, and installed plugins stay available while updates finish
  • Long Script waits - Droid can now wait on a running Script for about an hour instead of stopping early
  • MCP server display names - MCP servers now show their official names in settings, the tools view, and search

Bug fixes

  • Context view for custom models - The /context view now sizes itself from a custom model's declared context limit
  • Telemetry opt-out - Turning telemetry off now stops every Factory-bound log, trace, and metric from the CLI
  • Pinned sessions in the sidebar - Pinned sessions now show their details even when they fall outside your recent history
  • Files created under sudo - Running Droid with sudo no longer leaves files in your Factory folder owned by root
  • Faster reconnect after sleep - Remote Control reconnects a computer sooner after it sleeps instead of waiting out the full timeout

Security

  • Editor MCP server access - The editor MCP server now accepts only local connections and rejects browser requests
