v0.1.1 — 2026-06-18

CLI UX polish on top of the v0.1.0 surface (same 65 CLI commands, 85 MCP tools).

  • Branded launch screen when you run bl with no arguments.
  • Grouped --help output, organized by category (Navigation, Interaction, Inspect page, and so on).
  • Restrained, TTY-aware colour — colour only when writing to a terminal.
  • Fixed bl add-mcp so it appears correctly in the help output.

v0.1.0 — 2026-06-18

First public release.

  • CLI — 65 commands for humans and scripts: navigate, interact, inspect the page, capture, manage browser state and emulation, script with JavaScript, and manage sessions and the daemon.
  • MCP serverbl mcp exposes 85 tools to AI agents over stdio JSON-RPC.
  • WebDriver BiDi — drives Chrome for Testing exclusively over the W3C-standard WebDriver BiDi protocol, and auto-installs the browser on first use.
  • Persistent daemonbl daemon start keeps Chrome warm across CLI invocations for sub-second command startup.
  • One-command agent setupbl add-mcp registers the MCP server with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and the OpenAI Codex CLI.
  • Universal install scripts — a one-line installer for macOS, Linux, and Windows, with checksum verification.
  • Signed, notarized prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
