What's New

Version control

  • Git tool window — a workspace bound to a git repository gains a
    full Version Control tool window. The log pane draws the commit
    graph with ref labels for branches and tags, per-pane toolbars with
    filter chips and view options, a sticky branch scope, and a details
    pane for the selected commit.
  • Branches rail — an activity-bar rail lists local and remote
    branches with checkout, create, and compare verbs; comparing two
    refs opens as its own tab.
  • Commit window — a changes tree with tri-state checkboxes,
    keyboard navigation, and per-row context menus stages exactly what
    you pick; commit and amend run from the tree, and the working diff
    sits beside it. Single-chain directories compress to one row, the
    IDE way.
  • Ignore management — Add to .gitignore and Stop Ignoring live on
    the tree's context menus, and ignored rows say which ignore file
    and pattern claimed them.
  • Console tab — every git command the app runs is visible in a
    console tab, so nothing happens behind your back.

Traffic

  • Capture sessions — the Traffic monitor can record what it
    observes into sealed, encrypted session archives: auto-named at
    seal, deduplicated storage for bodies, a retention budget with
    garbage collection, and recovery of interrupted recordings on next
    launch.
  • Replay — a sealed session opens back up in the same viewer the
    live Traffic monitor uses — rows, timings, and bodies resolve from
    the archive even after the browser tab is long gone.
  • Sessions in the sidebar — recorded sessions live in a SESSIONS
    section of the sources rail: search, sort, folders, rename and
    organize verbs, and open-on-click replay.
  • Redesigned monitor — the Traffic monitor moves into the dock as
    a tool window with a per-source tab row, a sources rail, and a
    start/stop capture control in the header.
  • Clear names — the wire vocabulary is now Traffic Interception,
    the system proxy settings group reads Proxy · System, and Install
    CA takes you straight to the trust pane.

AI agents

  • Observe traffic over MCP — with an explicit workspace grant, an
    AI agent connected to the app's MCP server can observe captured
    traffic: list sources and requests, pull failures with their
    bodies, diff two requests, wait on traffic matching a predicate,
    and read redirect chains.
  • Redaction first — sensitive fields are redacted in everything
    an agent reads, and redacted markers say so honestly; turning a
    captured request into a rule forces a draft whenever redacted
    fields are involved.
  • Session tools — agents can list and read sealed capture
    sessions; raw unredacted reads sit behind their own grant, off by
    default, and every raw read is stamped in the observe feed.

Workbench

  • Compact sidebar — denser rows, hover-gated controls, one global
    focus tint, and slimmer dividers across the sidebar trees.
  • Speed-search — the sidebar gains an on-demand filter/search
    mode; filtering prunes empty folders and highlights no-match state.
  • Tool windows keep their state — switching dock tabs no longer
    resets a tool window's scroll and selection; bodies stay mounted
    and pick up where you left them.
  • Bottom panel splits — the bottom panel can hold two tool
    windows at once, side by side or stacked. Pick the arrangement from
    the merged Bottom Panel Layout menu or the panel toolbar, or drag a
    tab onto a drop zone to split in place.
  • Reveal means focus — actions that reveal a tool window now
    focus it too, landi...

@daniel-tirzuman daniel-tirzuman released this 01 Aug 20:13

Standalone CLI (oh) release — this tag ships only the cli stream; the newest suite release carries the desktop app.


What's New

Fixes

  • oh changelog — the compiled binary ships with its release
    notes embedded again. The 2026.7.28 build printed the no-notes
    fallback even though notes existed; those notes live on the
    website changelog.

What's New

Requests

  • HTTP version control — every request gains an HTTP version
    setting: Auto (the default) negotiates with the server, or pin
    HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/2 (prior knowledge), or HTTP/3. A pinned
    version the server can't speak fails with a clear error naming the
    setting — never a silent downgrade.
  • HTTP/3 over QUIC — sends can now ride HTTP/3 end to end, a
    first among API clients. The QUIC engine ships inside the app and
    honors the request's trust settings — SSL verification off, custom
    CAs, and client certificates — so self-signed local endpoints work
    the same as on the other versions.
  • Cleartext HTTP/2 — HTTP/2 (prior knowledge) skips negotiation
    and speaks HTTP/2 immediately, including over plain http:// — the
    route to h2c backends and internal services.
  • Faster suites — running a collection no longer pays the
    per-origin rate limiter that paces background refreshes, so a
    many-request suite against one host runs at full speed.

Proxy

  • Outbound proxy — Settings → Proxy → Outbound Requests routes
    the app's sends through a proxy. System follows the operating
    system's proxy settings and shows a read-only snapshot of what the
    OS reports; Manual takes a single proxy URL speaking HTTP, HTTPS,
    or SOCKS5, with live validation as you type; PAC evaluates a proxy
    auto-config script from a URL or a local file. A resolve preview
    shows the route a URL would take, in every mode.
  • Per-request proxy — request settings gain a Proxy setting:
    inherit the app-wide proxy (the default), force a direct
    connection, or name an explicit proxy for just that request.
  • Everything rides it — WebSocket and gRPC connections tunnel
    through the proxy too, and OAuth token refreshes and workflow steps
    follow the same rules. The bypass list follows curl's NO_PROXY
    semantics.
  • Credentials from the vault — proxy authentication and client
    certificates are picked from vault entries in searchable selects
    with a manage-in-the-vault shortcut; the secret value is read at
    send time, never copied into settings.
  • Wire truth — every result says how it actually traveled: the
    network popover and the WebSocket/gRPC meta strips name the proxied
    route, and a direct send shows no badge at all.

Request settings

  • Redesigned settings tab — every setting sits in a scannable row
    with its own reset and undo, groups fold from the keyboard, and an
    info popover per setting previews how an example send behaves.
    Inputs state their defaults, show an example format, and validate
    live; an out-of-bounds value explains the violated bound.
  • Honest saves — invalid settings block the save and keep the
    draft marked dirty, and clearing a setting truly unsets it instead
    of storing an empty value.
  • Unsaved changes at a glance — tabs, badges, and the scripts
    rail mark unsaved edits in one distinct tone until you save.

Response

  • Wire truth on every send — the Network popover now always shows
    the HTTP version that was actually negotiated on the wire, whichever
    version carried the send.

Polish

  • Menu-bar icon — the tray icon is now a proper template image on
    macOS, so it matches light and dark menu bars.

What's New

Streams

  • Grouped timelines — WebSocket messages can group by event and
    direction (Socket.IO events get their own axis), and gRPC streams
    group by message type and direction. Collapsed groups show the
    newest rows with a Show older toggle at the top edge, and you
    can pick how many rows each group keeps in Settings → Requests.
  • Easier scanning — sticky group headers now clear the scrollbar,
    and stream rows highlight on hover.

Compose

  • Wrap toggle — every editor pane gets its own Wrap control next
    to Beautify, with an indent cue on continuation lines. The new
    Editor dropdown in the toolbar also exposes the global display
    settings, applied live.
  • Line endings — a new editor setting paints an end-of-line glyph
    on real newlines, so trailing characters and missing final newlines
    are visible at a glance.
  • Bearer auth — the scheme prefix is now a fixed label instead of
    editable text, and masked token fields can be revealed while editing.

Response

  • Status at a glance — the status chip is now a filled pill tinted
    by status class, and shows the canonical reason phrase when the
    server omits one.
  • Tidier toolbar — Save Response moved into the overflow menu in
    the response panel and the gRPC/WebSocket result panes.

gRPC

  • Spec switching — change the API spec straight from the method
    picker or the Service definition tab, and import definitions from
    either place.

Devices

  • Safer peer execute — running requests on another device is now a
    two-tier opt-in: browsers on this machine are allowed by default,
    other devices start off. A refusal now says which host declined and
    jumps you to the matching opt-in row.

Activity

  • Quieter unread cue — the activity tab now marks unseen entries
    with a small grey dot instead of a numeric badge, so background
    activity no longer reads as an alert.

Traffic

  • Connection detail — captured desktop requests now record the
    dial: socket phases, negotiated protocol, local and remote
    endpoints, and request size.

  • Bearer auth — the scheme prefix is now a fixed label instead of
    editable text, and masked token fields can be revealed while editing.

Response

  • Status at a glance — the status chip is now a filled pill tinted
    by status class, and shows the canonical reason phrase when the
    server omits one.
  • Tidier toolbar — Save Response moved into the overflow menu in
    the response panel and the gRPC/WebSocket result panes.

gRPC

  • Spec switching — change the API spec straight from the method
    picker or the Service definition tab, and import definitions from
    either place.

Devices

  • Safer peer execute — running requests on another device is now a
    two-tier opt-in: browsers on this machine are allowed by default,
    other devices start off. A refusal now says which host declined and
    jumps you to the matching opt-in row.

Activity

  • Quieter unread cue — the activity tab now marks unseen entries
    with a small grey dot instead of a numeric badge, so background
    activity no longer reads as an alert.

Traffic

  • Connection detail — captured desktop requests now record the
    dial: socket phases, negotiated protocol, local and remote
    endpoints, and request size.
