πŸš€ Browser4 v4.13.25 Release Notes

Release Date: 2026-10-02 09:00:34 UTC
Java Version: 17+
Built by: @galaxyeye


Docs-only maintenance release: no runtime behavior changes. It captures the development findings from the CDP-attach work and the two traps that cost a red CI run on the way to 4.13.24 - the 500-line skill-doc cap and the bump-then-cli-sync release order.

  • track all three CDP-attach open items, not just the two issues
  • link the non-Windows listening-port gap to its issue
  • record the doc-line-cap and release-order traps
