This release provides several bug fixes, including the following improvements to the HTTP message editor:

  • Highlighting text no longer causes it to disappear and reappear after resizing the panel.
  • Clicking on an empty line now positions the cursor where you click instead of at the end of the previous line.

We have also fixed a security bug that was reported via our bug bounty program. With a significant amount of user interaction, an attacker could potentially read local files. The attacker would have to induce a user to visit a malicious website, copy the request as a curl command, and then execute it via the command line. This was classed as a medium severity issue due to the level of user interaction required.
