### Web view mobile support

We've added the ability to scale web view to common mobile screen sizes. In addition, we've added a QR code in the URL dropdown and networking pane for easier mobile device testing.

As a reminder—even while you're building your project, it's accessible from the internet. Just visit the dev URL from any device.

### DNS record format update

We've modified how custom domain DNS records are formatted to match industry standards.

This should make it easier to configure custom domains.

### Flask deployment upgrade

gunicorn is now the default web server for Flask stack deployments.

This resulted in a 40x performance improvement over previous Flask deployments.

### Assistant inline shell commands

Assistant can now execute shell commands directly in the chat pane. Save time by running commands without leaving the chat!
