New in Insomnia 2021.4.0 Core (Jun 30, 2021)

  • Hello, TypeScript:
  • The Insomnia codebase has been around for ~5 years now, and over time has gone through several iterations as JavaScript patterns evolved. In the most recent major iteration, we migrated a large majority of the codebase from Flow to TypeScript! There are countless benefits for having a codebase in TypeScript but the undertaking is huge, so the aim was to migrate like-for-like, to reduce the risk of introducing bugs.
  • This stable release of Insomnia marks the first release after the codebase was migrated to TypeScript, and contains several other improvements and fixes.
  • Inso:
  • Included as of insomnia-inso v2.3.0
  • Added a `--tags` option to specify tags when generating configuration files using `inso generate config`

  • Added a response time to the api response provided to unit tests

New in Insomnia 2021.3.0 Core (Apr 29, 2021)

  • OpenAPI to Kong configuration:
  • As users build APIOps pipelines using Insomnia, Inso and Kong, the need for improvements to the OpenAPI-2-Kong config generation became evident. As such, this release includes the following improvements (which are available within Insomnia, and also through the Insomnia CLI, Inso).
  • Kong Declarative Configuration:
  • Added support to specify a `style` property for query parameters (preset depending on the parameter type) #3327

  • Fixed a bug where a server specified as a path only would result in an invalid upstream target #3314
  • Fixed a bug where the service was using the actual hostname instead of the upstream name #3314
  • Improved plugin generation logic to include tags from various sources #3328
  • Added support for x-kong-{route, upstream, service}-defaults keys in the OpenAPI spec #3273
  • Changed behavior such that strip_path is set to false by default on generated routes #3273
  • Notable Fixes:
  • Fixed analytics tracking to honor analytics preferences (and added a one-time prompt for users to revise this preference)
  • Fixed the initial startup background color to a dark preset
  • Additions and Other Improvements:

New in Insomnia 2021.2.1 Core (Mar 25, 2021)

  • This patch addresses a regression found in 2021.2.0 where users were unable to make requests against localhost on certain platforms like Windows and through local DNS servers across all platforms.
  • Once discovered we removed 2021.2.0 from the auto-update list and began our investigation. Through investigation we found the source of the regression was an update made to node-libcurl and worked with the maintainer to get a new build that resolves the issue.

New in Insomnia 2021.2.0 Core (Mar 25, 2021)

  • Select theme based on System Preferences:

New in Insomnia 2021.1.0 Core (Mar 10, 2021)

  • Single Application
  • Based on user feedback, usage observations, and internal discussion, we've merged Insomnia Designer and Insomnia Core. Following the Insomnia 2021.1 release there will no longer be an Insomnia Core or Insomnia Designer, only Insomnia.
  • When you start Insomnia users will be presented with the Dashboard, a new way to manage Design Documents and Request Collections (previously named workspaces).
  • Once inside a Request Collection, Insomnia users will feel very much at home, while there are some changes, we tried to keep them to a minimum to retain the simplicity of Insomnia that we all enjoy.
  • If you were a user of Insomnia Designer you will be presented with a data migration flow asking you what data you would like to migrate.
  • If you decide to skip the migration, you can always re-open the data migration flow through Application Preferences > General > Migrate from Designer.
  • The Version Control Sync menu and button can now be found in the top right corner of the application header.
  • The remote pull menu has also been moved to the dashboard next to the create menu and is visible once logged in.
  • As a part of the merge, we have also bundled the Kong Plugin Bundle as a core plugin. Users familiar with Designer can now find their plugin actions under the document dropdown as seen below, this change was done to reduce header clutter and allow for future actions.
  • Improved protofile support:
  • The Select Proto File dialog now supports multi-file and directory import for .proto files for GRPC requests.
  • Template tag support for gRPC:
  • You can now use template tags for gRPC hosts and bodies.
  • Portable application support for Windows:
  • Windows users now have the option to install Insomnia as a portable application, the portable binary can be found on the Insomnia Github releases page.
  • Automatic request collection generation improvements
  • We've made several updates to how we handle automatic generation of request collections to preserve user data while switching between the design and debug activities based on both user feedback and direct user input.
  • Now while switching between design and debug within a design document, changes from the specification to the request collection are now additive only, meaning that existing values and modifications to requests will not be overwritten.
  • In addition to preserving user data while switching between Design and Debug, the selected environment is also preserved.
  • Note: During QA, we identified a known issue where if you add an element in-between array elements inside of the specification and switch to the debug activity the element added will inherit the values of the array element that it took the place of. For now users can work around this issue by adding new elements to the end of the array.
  • Breaking changes:
  • Legacy sync has been deprecated:
  • With the release of Insomnia 2021.1, Legacy Sync has been deprecated in favor of version control which has been promoted to stable. Read more here.
  • Cloning repositories now requires a .git suffix:
  • With this release to better support other platforms and workflows such as Azure DevOps cloning repositories now requires explicitly having the .git suffix. Existing settings and repositories should not be affected by this change.
  • CLI - Default application directory has changed:
  • With the merge of Insomnia Core and Insomnia Designer, the Insomnia CLI now looks at the Insomnia application data directory by default.
  • Notable Fixes:
  • Fixed an edge case where the auto-complete dropdown would not close
  • Fixed issue where resizing gRPC requests would cause scaling issues
  • Fixed issue where generating JSON from OpenAPI caused an infinite loop
  • Fixed issue where GraphQL explorer text was not selectable
  • Fixed issue where file inputs where not handled properly when copying multipart requests as cURL
