Extensions

• Paw is no longer an app with limited features, you can extend its capabilities through Extensions.
• Dynamic Values: either you want to write a quick-and-dirty script to compute a custom hash, or build a ready-to-use Dynamic Value to fit your proprietary authentication scheme and share it with your users, it won't take you long to learn how to build custom Dynamic Values.
• Code Generators: generate client code for any language or 3rd party file formats. We cover most popular languages as open source Extensions, feel free to contribute!
• Importers: import 3rd party file formats into your Paw Collection. We already support import from Postman, and thanks to the Apiary team, API Blueprint is also ready.

User Interface

• JSON Editor & Viewer: Seamlessly edit JSON requests or view JSON responses.

New features

• Cookies: Cookies received from servers are persisted, and automatically sent back in the next requests. Use several Cookie Jars to keep multiple user sessions. Modify or delete cookies to tweak the requests, or completely disable cookie support.
• Environment Domains: Environments are now organized in Environment Domains, so multiple Environments can be switched independently. Ideal to setup production or test servers, along with multiple users profiles.
• HTTP Exchanges: Paw now saves the exact request you’ve sent along with the responses in the History. Each HTTP exchange can be viewed in details (request or response headers, body, or raw data) or as an overview in the new Info tab.

And many other details that make Paw even better

• OAuth 2 Authentication.
• Export or Open With your favorite editor the generated client code.
• Performance improvements: Paw now processes code generation, warnings detection and other heavy operations in background threads to let you enjoy a smooth UI.
• Horizontal Split View.
• Send selected requests, or all requests in a group. And view their activity in the request list.
• Requests errors (such as when a server is unreachable) are now persisted in the History and displayed in the HTTP exchange panel.
• Enhanced requests or environment variables pickers, and allowed to select the “Current Request”
• Hash Dynamic Value is now either uppercase or lowercase
• See requests thumbnails when selecting a group or multiple requests.

Following an SSL validation issue with 2.0.8, version 2.0.8.1 has been released.

Fixes

• Fixes the login window display during the Trial or to register a Full License
• Fixes connection problems when a service is only accessible through IPv6 while DNS returns also an IPv4 address (e.g. the local PHP test server only accept IPv6 by default, while often "localhost" is configured for both IPv4 127.0.0.1 and IPv6 ::1). If you were experiencing issues to connect to a local server, this should fix the issue.
• Fixes IPv6 addresses parsing (e.g. http://[::1]:8000)

Fixes

• Fixes a crash when aborting a request
• Fixes an issue that prevent connecting to some HTTPS hosts

New features

• Adds support for paw:// URLs (documentation will come soon)
• Disables sounds effects by default
• Improves Duplicate requests to keep them in the same parent

Fixes

• Fixes a major bug in Form URL-Encoded Body that shows (null) for fields containing non-alphanumeric characters
• Fixes another major bug that removes the selection after deleting a request which made the app inusable in some cases
• Fixes the crash report mechanism to not reopen windows until the crash report window is shown, and prompt the user before reopening unsaved documents to prevent crashing again and again
• Fixes a crash when a Header name finished by a backslash
• Fixes many other crashes

User Interface

• Paw now remembers exactly where you left each document: which Request was selected, which tab or Response Body Text, which groups were expanded in the Request List, whether you enabled “Arrange By” and “Order By”, if the Code Generation Inspector was expanded…
• New JSON pretty-printer: now keeps the original order of dict keys, fixes the display bug for floats and long integers, and adds many formatting options in the Preferences
• Adds an alert when changing the Request Body Type will be destructive
• Improves the Preferences window
• The Response Status Code and name of the request are now displayed in the system notification
• Fixes bug that made Paw abnormally use CPU when idle
• Fixes a UI bug in the Request Body view
• Fixes crash on OS X 10.7 Lion when Deleting All Responses
• Fixes crash when invalid characters such as double-quotes are in the URL host

HTTP Improvements

• The HTTP Library “GCD AsyncSocket” now supports HTTP / HTTPS proxies and Paw can now override the system proxy settings
• Content-Type header will be automatically sent (if no Content-Type header is set in the Request)
• Automatically encoded with percent-escapes forbidden characters in URLs (like spaces), and also URL encodes the result of Dynamic Values when present in the URL / URL Params
• Paw will ignore the request body for HTTP methods that don’t support it (GET, HEAD, DELETE…), there is an option to send it anyways
• Content-Length header is now always sent for POST, PUT, PATCH, etc. even if the body is empty
• Adds support for arbitrary HTTP verbs

Dynamic Values

• Allows backslash escapes in path for Response Parsed Body Dynamic Value
• Fixes Amazon S3 Signatures when having "Query String Argument of Interests” (URL Parameters that must be included in the String to Sign)

Code Generation

• Fixed bug in cURL Code Generation when the Request Body contains new lines and tabs
• Fixed bug in cURL Code Generation that didn’t escape quotes when present in the Headers
• Fixed bug in Python Code Generation that misses trailing slashes in the URL

Lastly, a Crash Report mechanism was added: if Paw crashes, you’ll be prompted to send the crash report. This will make Paw even better in the future!

Fixes

• Fixes update process: so far Paw was unable to update itself, it's now fixed (for upcoming updates, you will still need to update manually for this version)
• Fixes major visual bug when switching between Body Form URL-Encoded or Multipart requests
• Adds the ability to disable in the Preferences the support of Internationalized Domain Names and URL Encoding of requests paths, which lead to some confusions

• ...and some other minor fixes

Fixes

• Bug Fixes

New features

• Added support for volume licenses

Dynamic Values

• Dynamic Values make your requests smarter, you can ask Paw to compute OAuth 1 or Amazon S3 signatures, generate a nonce for you, parse the JSON/XML response from another request to reuse a value from it, and much more dynamic possibilities.

New features

• Code generation: it sounds like many users loved the copy/paste to cURL feature of Paw 1, so it's has been extended and now can generate native Objective-C (using either NSURLConnection or AFNetworking), Python, Ruby, jQuery with Ajax or PHP.
• Warnings: Paw won't leave you alone in the wild, if you make something obviously wrong or strange, it will warn you and often suggest some way to fix the issue (for example, if you send a body in a GET request, it will suggest to change it to POST)
• Environments: keep different variables, and make their value change depending on the environment you choose, for example you could have one for the Production and one per Test/Development server
• Order and sort requests: create groups to make requests together if it makes sense, or trust Paw and automatically group requests by Host, Response Status Code or HTTP Verb/Method - you can also sort requests by name, URL, etc.

User Interface

• One more thing, did you notice the design changed a little bit?
