We’re thrilled to announce the release of Factory 0.8 Beta. This update focuses on boosting your overall productivity with streamlined workflows and a cleaner interface.

Mosaic Tiling: A New Way to Organize Panels

• Arrange panels side by side or in a grid, enabling a custom layout that suits your workflow. • Quickly switch between panel configurations to review code, chat, or context panels without missing a beat. • Enjoy a more fluid experience for everything from quick tasks to in-depth collaboration.

Refined Local Repository Indexing

• Sync and index local repositories faster and more reliably. • Automatic improvements under the hood reduce slowdowns and minimize interruptions. • Stay focused on development, confident your local files stay in sync with Factory.

Improved Chat & Fragment Streaming

• We’ve improve our stream processing so responses should feel way snappier now. • Enhanced handling of multi-file or multi-line fragments ensures code merges and updates flow seamlessly during busy chat sessions.

Additional Enhancements

• Better session visuals: file icons and layout cues make each panel’s purpose clear at a glance. • Clearer notifications when repositories finish indexing or need attention. • Behind-the-scenes performance improvements keep sessions responsive at scale.

Getting Started

To experience these new features:

  1. Open or create a session and arrange multiple panels with mosaic tiling.

  2. Re-index your local repos to feel the difference in speed and responsiveness.

  3. Test the improved chat streaming for immediate feedback as new messages and fragments arrive.

We hope you enjoy the refined experience in Factory 0.8 Beta. Your feedback is always appreciated—let us know how it’s working for you, and stay tuned for more updates!
