Release Date: Mar 13, 2025
Hey there, Sparrow Innovators!
We're excited to introduce Collection-Level Authentication, smarter request handling for WebApp and Edge, enhanced tab management, and major UI enhancements to streamline your workflow. Check out what’s new!
🚀What’s New?
Collection-Level Authentication
- Managing authentication just got easier! With Collection-Level Authentication, users can set authentication details once at the collection level, eliminating the need to configure it for each individual API request.
- New Button in Collection Menu – Easily create entities using a new button dropdown.
- Set Auth for Collections – Configure authentication directly from the collection menu for a seamless experience.
- Inherited Auth Option – Users can quickly apply collection-level authentication across all APIs within the collection by selecting the "Inherit Auth" option.
- This saves time, ensuring consistency and reducing repetitive setup. Any changes made to collection auth will automatically reflect in all associated APIs, including those in Test Flow.
Enhanced Tab Management
Users can now efficiently manage tabs with new right-click options:
- Close Tab
- Close Other Tabs
- Close All Tabs
- Force Close Other Tabs
- Force Close All Tabs
- Duplicate Tab
These options provide greater flexibility in handling multiple API requests seamlessly.
- Save API Responses & Rename Requests in Sparrow Edge and Web App
- Send an API request and save responses for future reference with a single click.
- Rename API requests directly from the LHS panel for better organization.
- Design System Enhancements for a Smoother Experience
- Improved AI Chatbot UI & updated Team Cards for a better user experience.
- Refined WebSocket, Socket.IO, and Environment UI for a seamless interface.
- Alert Messages added in REST, GraphQL, and Test Flows for better user guidance.
🐞 Squashed Bugs:
Now Sparrow is smoother than a freshly buttered pancake.
- Long-named APIs in Test Flow like to stretch their limits—sometimes beyond the UI’s comfort zone.
- Test Flow Tour Guides have a mind of their own—occasionally misaligned but still guiding.
⚠️ Known Glitches
Here’s what we’re still refining—because perfection takes time:
- The "Open in Workspace" button occasionally takes a detour.
- Query Explorer and Editor sync issues might play a bit of hide-and-seek in GraphQL.
