What's New

Adds proxy support, browser identity defaults, and PDF handling.

Breaking Changes

  • Direct sessions no longer default to San Francisco location.

New Features

  • SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxy support
  • New endpoint to save authenticated PDFs
  • OpenClaw plugin compatibility

Improvements

  • Windows cleanup for browser trees
  • Proxy support consistency
  • PDF handling optimization

Bug Fixes

  • Windows cleanup leaves no browser trees behind
  • Direct sessions no longer fake location

Upgrade Notes

Direct sessions will now use your actual location instead of San Francisco; set `CAMOFOX_LOCALE` and `CAMOFOX_TIMEZONE` if you need a specific identity. On Windows, verify the new cleanup logic does not interfere with other processes. Configure `PROXY_PROTOCOL` to 'socks4' or 'socks5' to enable new proxy protocols.
