16.0.0-beta

After 15 months of development, we are happy to announce version 16 (beta) release! With this release A LOT of changes coming into the application.

This is a beta release. This means it is heavily tested but may still include some issues. While you testing this release, PLEASE, give us your feedback. We are building this app for the community. Meaning you. You always have a voice when it comes to ARC's development.

Features

• Request modules. A new API to design ARC plugins that runs in the context of a request or a response. Allows to manipulate the request/response objects as well as ARC data stored in the datastore
• 🎉 🎉 🎉 Resizable panels! The navigation can be resized relative to the main content. The request editor and the response view also can now be resized.
• The request panel now allows you to import a cURL command. Do this in the request editor's context menu (next to the send button).
• Added response size limits. The first limit renders a warning about the size of the message. The user can choose to render the view anyway. The other limit forces unprocessed ("raw") view of the response. This way it reduces chances of application hanging.
• Added status message about the currently transported request. The transport library informs the application when the message is being transmitted, the headers are received, the response payload is being read, and when the load complete.
• Added ability to send the request by pressing ctrl+Enter anywhere in the request editor. Subsequently, Escape key cancels the request.
• New, new settings! You can now control much more of the application behaviour than ever before.
• Added formatting option to the response panel via the context menu. Currently, it only supports JSON formatting but it's a good start.
• Application icons are also new. This is a base for the future rebranding. ARC is a way too common name.
• Added an option to choose where OAuth 2 client credentials should be put (body or the authorization header)
• Added more contextual help (through the Learn more buttons, etc).

Breaking changes and fixes

• The entire UI redesigned from scratch to support future use cases
• New UI, new themes definitions. Old themes won't entirely work as many CSS variables changed
• Each editor in the body editor now stores its own value separately. Previously there was only one value shared between the editors
• The request editor now supports multiple authorization schemes at once
• New navigation with the main navigation rail and the navigation content instead of tabs
• ARC now uses Monaco editor to edit the request body. Temporarily it can be restored back to CodeMirror in application settings.
• Now the response view has panels that can be opened on demand. The old response view was split into several panels. The response view is stacked with the request editors and support scrollable regions.
• Redesigned settings panel. Added new UI and tons of new options controlling the behaviour of the application.
• Redesigned request workspace for performance. The tabs are now loading much faster.
• Removed the "table view" from the response view. This module turned out to be very challenging to create and maintain. The final effect was a slow UI and not so good experience when working with the data.
• Redesigned request actions. Added new actions (set variable, set cookie, delete cookie). Actions are also conditional. You can set up a condition when the action should be executed.
• Added new request editor tab: meta. It renders request metadata (name, list of projects, etc).
• Removed ability to export to multiple folders in Google Drive (this was deprecated in the Drive API).
• The "detailed" URL editor now only edit query parameters. But at least it does it right ❤
• Themes manager now opens in a new window instead of being part of the main application window
• Tabs in the requests workspace now have flexible width. When more tabs are opened they shrink to accommodate all tabs in the current view.
• Fixed tons of spelling mistakes :)
• Removed "all APIs" from the REST APIs menu
