What's new

- WezTerm Setup: WezTerm is a popular computer terminal app. You can now easily configure Factory Droid to work with it.
- Chat Transcript Search: If you are using the app, you can now search for specific words right inside your past chat conversations.
Improvements
- Faster Searches: The software is now smarter about when it needs to refresh its search memory (the "cache"), skipping unnecessary updates so you get your search results quicker.
