## Product updates
14+
15+
- Added auto standby to browser pool instances — pools can now automatically suspend when idle and resume on the next incoming request, reducing costs without manual intervention.
16+
- New browser configuration options on `browsers.create()` and browser pool definitions: [`chrome_policy`](/browsers/pools/policy-json) (previously pool-only, also fixes a bug where the policy was silently dropped before reaching the VM) and `start_url` for opening directly to a specified URL on launch. The corresponding `--start-url` flag is available in the [CLI](https://github.com/kernel/cli).
17+
- Exposed full [Projects](/info/projects) CRUD in the public API, so projects can be created, updated, and deleted programmatically alongside the existing list endpoint.
18+
- **Managed auth improvements.** Added health-check and automatic re-authentication controls to the [managed auth API](/auth/overview), letting you configure check intervals and reauth triggers per connection (health checks are skipped until the first successful login so brand-new connections don't churn). Sessions are now automatically recorded — when a connection enters `NEEDS_AUTH` on the dashboard, a "View last login attempt" link routes directly to the session replay, and /auth rows now show a re-auth capability chip. Also: broader SSO and OAuth provider coverage, support for Google's two-step mobile prompt flow, per-connection post-login wait configuration (`post_login.wait_ms`), automatic SSO provider brand icons in auth dialogs, MFA alternatives displayed on the external action waiting screen, more reliable surfacing of `awaiting_external_action` when fallback actions exist, captcha auto-solver waits on the CUA path, and a post-login browser refresh before the profile snapshot is captured for cleaner saved sessions.
19+
- Extended `proxy.check()` with an optional `url` parameter for testing reachability against a specific target domain before assigning the proxy — useful for catching proxies that pass generic health checks but are blocked on your actual target site.
20+
- Persistent browsers have reached end of life and have been fully removed. Use [`timeout_seconds`](/browsers/termination) with [Profiles](/auth/profiles) as a replacement.
21+
22+
## Documentation updates
23+
24+
- Added a new [hCaptcha](/browsers/captcha/hcaptcha) page documenting beta support for hCaptcha solving.
25+
- Refreshed [managed auth](/auth/overview) documentation for May 2026: new dedicated [health checks and re-authentication](/auth/health-checks) page, a shared [connection configuration](/auth/connections) reference, documented `success_url` / `error_url` query parameters for the [hosted UI](/auth/hosted-ui), [`start_url`](/browsers/create-a-browser) references across browser and pool docs, a reorganized sidebar, and new FAQ entries for short-session reauth and multi-step login forms.
26+
- Clarified that managed residential proxy IPs are stable within a session but are not guaranteed to persist across sessions.
27+
- Clarified that profile updates do not propagate to idle browser pool instances — pools must be recycled for profile changes to take effect.
28+
- Updated the [Yutori integration guide](/integrations/computer-use/yutori) to Navigator n1.5.
