A rundown of the latest changes to Director. Include new features, enhancements, design improvements and bug fixes.
We noticed that Supabase and Playwright are extremely popular in the community. We were missing them from our easy install library, so we've added them in.
This makes it even easier to start using these tools in your projects.
We're a tiny team so there is always a lot we could be doing. We've been busy working on a lot of new features and bug fixes lately, but that doesn't mean we can't find the time to give our documentation a little bit of love.
Our docs we're looking a little bit sad and out of sync with our latest brand iteration. Luckily for us, Mintlify is a great tool and made it a breeze to tweak the configuration and get it back looking good.
It's a small update, but it's a big improvement.
Lately, we've been shipping new releases of the CLI almost daily, but we've been lacking a good way to let you know. From the latest version, you'll now be notified and required to update to the latest version of our CLI.
While Director is in beta, we'll be shipping new releases of the CLI almost daily, and sometimes there will be breaking changes.
We want to continue to ship at incredibly fast. To reduce any chance of deteriorating your experience, we'll be requiring you to update to the latest version as it's released.
A few days ago, we launched our new website. Today, we're introducing our changelog. Our changelog gives us a space to share frequent updates on what we've been working on. Updates could be about anything from new features, bug fixes, or design improvements.
Expect this page to be changing all the time.
Since we started working on Director, we've been through a lot of iterations of not only our website, but also our brand.
Our brand has impact on everything we do at Director, especially the visual aspects. We've given our brand a lot of love and attention for the last couple of days and redesigned it from the ground up.
We not only built our new website, but we've also redesigned our studio product alongside it. For now, you can check our our new website but soon you'll have a whole new experience in the studio too.
We got a bunch of feedback recently that it was hard to add MCP servers that are not in our library, so we've fixed that. You can now manually add any MCP server to your gateway via our studio.
To add any MCP server to one of your proxies, you can navigate to the MCP library and click the "Add server" button. After that, you'll be prompted to fill in the transport details for the MCP server. That's it!
We've been doing a lot of testing with early potential users of Director over the last few days and one big thing kept coming up. Installing Director's CLI was painful. There was dependencies to install and it wasn't super clear what was missing (and breaking it).
curl -LsSf https://director.run/install.sh | sh
So today, we've rolled out a new installer that is a lot easier to use. It'll take care of all the dependencies for you and make sure you'll all setup and ready to go.
