If you found Yaak during the recent Postman outage, hello! πŸ‘‹

A bunch of you asked to be able to import Postman environments, so you can now do that in this release.

Along with that, there’s a brand-new multi-select sidebar, TTL for request chaining, AWS v4 authentication, and a bunch more goodies. 🎁

✨ All new multi-select sidebar

It looks mostly the same, but under the hood it’s rebuilt from scratch to support multi-select for re-ordering and context menu actions. You can also now drag items into closed folders (finally πŸŽ‰).

πŸ“¬ Import Postman environments

πŸ“Ό Drop files onto any file input

You can now drag-n-drop files into any “Select File” input within Yaak, so you don’t have to go hunting for files in the file explorer.

πŸ”„ Add expiry to chained requests

Request Chaining now supports a new “When Expired” behavior that allows you to resend the dependent request when the response is older than n seconds.
