What's New

• Include plugins attached to a request or a request folder in export & import
• Request Panel > Code Editors > Highlight valid and invalid environment variables
• Request Panel > Highlight valid and invalid environment variables in all single line inputs
• Socket Panel > Highlight valid and invalid environment variables in the address bar of client
• Socket Panel > Highlight valid and invalid environment variables in payload edit box
• Socket Panel > Client Messages > option to set selected text as environment variable
• Sidebar > Environment > Highlight valid and invalid environment variables

Fixes

• Socket Panel > auto scroll to bottom of messages stops working after tab switching
• Request Panel > Address Bar > paste curl command import messes with the parent id of the existing request, removing folder / sub folder assignments and puts the request in the root of the workspace
• localhost dns resolution issue as node now prefers ipv6 addresses over ipv4 - this causes requests to fail when an application doesn't listen on ipv6 but the dns lookup returns an ipv6 address first, ipv6 address 2nd - we're currently only implementing this for localhost, as the reachability test might be too heavy for non localhost ip addresses

What's New

• Export & Import Workspace Environments
• Add access to the URL and headers from plugin (#89)
• Response Panel > option to set selected text as environment variable
• Import > Postman Collection v2 > sometimes there is no hint saying the body is json, so body is marked as plain text - so we try to parse it as json and set mimeType as json if json, to improve the user experience - in postman, these items are shown as json, even though the export contains no such info
• Environment > Import & Export
• Environment > Import > exported Postman environment
• Add support for socket io v2 and v3 - only v4 was supported before this
• Sidebar > Request Context Menu > Generate Code

Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.3.1

What's New

• Request Panel > properly sync query params added to url into query params list and auto add any that are not already present in the query params list
• Electron: change from default fetch to proxied fetch with ipc to allow setting headers like user-agent and cookie (now we lose the ability to see the request in the devtools network tab but it's a tradeoff worth making to get more functionality)
• Response Panel > add ssl error to the possible errors list when a request fails
• Import > OpenAPI URL
• Settings > option to disable ssl verification when making requests (useful when you're using self signed certs) (only for electron)

Fixes

• Request Panel > accidental url encoding of query params that are synced to the url - this turns environment variable symbols in {{var}} to url encoded %7B%7Bvar%7D%7D (fixes #78)
• Request Panel > properly sync query params added to url into query params list and auto add any that are not already present in the query params list
• Clone instructions for Web Standalone (contributed by @donuts-are-good)

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.2.1

What's New

• Settings > add option to disable page view analytics tracking

• Clickable button on the right of every item in the sidebar that supports a right click context menu

Fixes

• csp eval issue due to httpsnippet using ajv, which uses new Function (this essentially prevented the latest ui from being deployed as a chrome app)
• Workspaces page > Plugins (doesn't load due to error)
• Sidebar context menu gets cut off when devtools is open, as it opens upwards but there's not enough space - same for small window sizes (now we add max height and make the context menu scrollable)

Full Changelog: v0.0.9...v0.1.0

What's New

• Request Panel > Address Bar > OpenAPI Style Path Parameters (completes #51)
• Response Panel > download response as a file (closes #49)

Fixes

• Docker image missing ui
• Unable to paste in request panel address bar when your copied text has a newline as the end
• Response Panel > HTML response containing iframe redirects window to object url - this happened for me when I had loaded a stackoverflow.com page as the request - seems like iframes have the ability to navigate the top level window, so we sandbox it
• Import > Restfox > all exported bodies will not be imported instead of excluding the inactive body types - this is so the state of the export + import matches the behavior of Restfox
• Web Standalone / Docker: POST of all kinds of bodies (json, form url encoded, multipart, binary) was broken

Fixes

• Import > Restfox > auth not imported
• Request Panel > Query > Path parameters > disabled path parameters should not be used for url substitution when a request is made
• Request Panel > Address bar > adding a ?query=param into the url of a request which does not have parameters defined will cause restfox to crash when you reload it, if this request was the active tab
