That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for Houdin.
This version introduces the Houdin API, allowing users to authenticate. This is the start of the cloud integration.
Exciting features ahead!

Bug fix:
- fixed an issue when creating/deleting edges in the workflow designer

The update introduces two new workflow actions and several improvements:
📝 Fill Form Action: Automates filling forms on any website by letting users specify field selectors (CSS, XPath, label, etc.) and values (including variables from other steps). Ideal for repetitive tasks like registrations or contact forms.
🔄 Create Variable Action: Lets users process and combine data using Liquid templates, referencing other workflow outputs or metadata to generate dynamic content. Useful for messages, totals, and data merging.
⚡ Improvements: Faster workflow designer, node copy/paste and auto-layout, improved text display and shortcuts, and fixes for variable interpolation, canvas rendering, and undo/redo stability.

✨ New Features
- If action for conditional workflow logic
- Liquid templating engine integration
- Popup trigger for manual execution
- Multiple output handles for actions
- Maximizable code and text editors
- Enhanced node visual design

🔧 Improvements
- Better workflow execution with output handle routing
- Improved error handling and tracking
- Visual edge management and deletion
- Updated footer component and branding

📜 Legal & Business
- License updated from PolyForm Noncommercial to FSL-1.1-ALv2
- Updated README and documentation

🐛 Technical Changes
- Workflow engine supports conditional paths

• Better error handling to help diagnose issues when they occur

🆕 New Storage Features
You can now easily work with your browser's storage:

• Temporary data storage using session storage (disappears when you close the browser)
• Cookie management - create, read, update, and delete cookies with expiration times
These new features let you build workflows that remember information between visits or share data between different parts of your automation.

🎨 Better User Experience

🐛 Fixes and Improvements
• Smarter form validation - Forms now only check fields that are actually visible, reducing unnecessary error messages
• Better error handling - Improved how errors are displayed and cleared in the workflow designer
• More reliable testing - Behind-the-scenes improvements to make the extension more stable
