v0.3.0

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)
• Request Panel > edge case, getting DataCloneError: Failed to execute 'put' on 'IDBObjectStore': #<Object> could not be cloned error when persisting active tab after selecting a file for binary body

v0.2.0

What's New

• Settings > add option to disable page view analytics tracking

Fixes

• 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)

v0.0.9

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
