Release Date: January 3, 2025
Hey there, Sparrowians!
As we welcome a new year full of possibilities, Sparrow is ready to help you take flight into uncharted territories. With the launch of Sparrow 2.15.0, we’re bringing you Sparrow Edge for cutting-edge performance and a seamless Web Test Flow for smooth and efficient testing. Here’s what’s new:
🎇 Sparrow Webapp Updates:
- Test Flow Functionality:Start the year with streamlined testing! Just like the Sparrow desktop application, the Sparrow Webapp and Sparrow Edge now support Test Flow functionality. Run multiple APIs simultaneously for a more efficient testing process.
- Sparrow Edge Support:Experience seamless functionality without logging in or signing up. The Sparrow Webapp now integrates Sparrow Edge for a faster, hassle-free testing experience that mirrors the desktop version.
- Swagger Collection Import:Simplify your workflow with the ability to import Swagger collections directly into the Sparrow Webapp. API testing has never been easier!
🎇 Exciting Features Across the Platform:
- Form Data Image Support:Elevate your testing capabilities with support for images in form data on both the Sparrow app and Webapp. This update enhances your ability to test with richer, more dynamic datasets.
🐞 Squashed Bugs:
Our team has been busy ringing in the New Year by fine-tuning everything to ensure a smoother experience for you:
- The “Star Us on GitHub” button seems to have taken a holiday break.
⚠️ Known Issues:
We’re on it! Here’s what we’re still fine-tuning:
- Importing cURL commands for image APIs isn't supported (yet!).
- Switching between secured and unsecured WebSocket URLs may feel like a bumpy sleigh ride.
- The "Open in Workspace" button occasionally takes a detour.
- Changes made manually in the query editor may be overwritten if the user interacts with the query explorer (e.g., by checking or unchecking checkboxes). Additionally, updates made in the query editor may not always reflect in the query explorer.
- When a saved GraphQL query is opened, the existing query in the query editor may be overwritten or refreshed based on the current state of the query explorer, potentially leading to the loss of manually entered data.
- The header count changes when navigating between different sections.
- Query Explorer and Editor sync issues might play a bit of hide-and-seek in GraphQL.
- A white window occasionally appears during login in the web app.
