Full Release Notes

## CloakBrowser Pro: Linux Stable advances to Chromium 154.0.8037.57.2

Chromium `154.0.8037.57.2` is now Stable on **Linux** (x64 and ARM64). Windows and macOS Stable stay on `154.0.8037.57.1`.

With a valid CloakBrowser key, the wrapper automatically selects the Stable build for your platform. No version pin is required.

### What's new since 154.0.8037.57.1 (Linux)

- **3 to 6 times less CPU** when running headed in Docker or on a GPU-less Linux server. Headless mode and machines with a real GPU are not affected.
- **Safer proxy handling.** Proxy passwords with special characters now work, and a proxy setting the browser cannot read stops the connection instead of going out without the proxy.
- **A more patient license connection**, with a new `--license-route=auto|direct|proxy` flag. `auto` is the default and works as before.
- **Windows persona hardware follows the graphics model.** On Intel graphics profiles, a fixed seed may report different core and memory values than before.
- **Windows persona fonts match real Windows by default** when the real Windows fonts are installed, so `--fingerprint-windows-font-metrics` is no longer needed.
- **The macOS persona on Linux** matches a real Mac in two more details.

Your profiles, cookies, and seeds are untouched. Only the browser itself is replaced.

### Current wrapper: v0.6.2

Update the wrapper before launching:

```bash
pip install -U cloakbrowser
npm update cloakbrowser
dotnet add package CloakBrowser --version 0.6.2
```

### Roll back if needed

If a workload regresses, pin the previous Linux Stable build:

```bash
export CLOAKBROWSER_VERSION=154.0.8037.57.1
```

Remove the pin to return to the newest Stable build.

**If you hit a regression, please tell us.** [Open an issue](https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser/issues) or email support@cloakbrowser.dev with the site and what you saw. Pinning the old build gets you unblocked; a report gets it fixed for everyone.
