What the release notes say

Chrome cookie import, folder links in the Files panel, voice dictation answers, and CLI and app fixes

New features

  • Chrome cookie import - The built-in browser can import your Chrome cookies on macOS, so you stay signed in to your sites
  • Folder links in chat - Clicking a folder path in Droid's message now opens the Files panel and reveals that folder

Improvements

  • Voice dictation answers - Droid's questions now take a dictated answer, and the dictation level meter has a new design
  • Remote session footer - The footer now separates a remote session's location from its branch with a dot
  • Thinking label shimmer - The shimmer on the thinking label now lines up with the text it covers

Bug fixes

  • MCP tools with union inputs - An MCP tool whose input schema uses a top-level union now works instead of failing
  • Blocked request errors - A refused request now shows a readable message instead of an empty error
  • Saved project in New Session - New Session now shows your saved project right away instead of waiting for your computers to load
  • Resuming remote sessions - Resuming a remote session no longer delays your messages while it loads that machine's scheduled runs
  • Reserved MCP server names - Adding an MCP server under a reserved name now reports an error instead of saving nothing
  • Wiki repository URL matching - The wiki commands now find a repository's wiki when its URL is written in another form
  • Plugin MCP server paths - A plugin's MCP server now resolves its plugin folder instead of reporting an unset variable
  • Newly added GitHub repositories - Repositories added to your GitHub connection now show up in the repository picker
  • Linux in-app updates - Updating the desktop app on Linux now unpacks the release instead of failing
  • Stuck background commands - Droid no longer keeps waiting on a command whose process has already exited
  • Compaction notice on reopen - Reopening a running session no longer adds compaction notices that were never shown live
  • Composer focus after dictation - The chat box takes focus again when dictation ends, so Enter sends your message
  • Force restart during resume - Forcing a restart on a computer now works while that computer is still resuming
  • Background process shortcut - Pressing down now reaches background processes once a session's Droids have finished
  • Crash with many Droids - Resuming a session with many Droids no longer crashes the terminal interface
