Changelog

All notable changes to Rostyman, newest first.

v0.1.0-beta.14 — April 6, 2026​

Workflow editor redesign, complete free-tier workflow features, and full protocol translations

What's New​

Workflow Editor Redesign — rich node cards with type icons and live status badges, step numbers in execution order, layout direction picker (LR/TB/RL/BT) with one-click auto-layout, Undo/Redo (50 steps, Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y), zoom slider + fit-to-view, snap-to-grid (20 px, matches background dots), dot/line background toggle, save canvas as PNG/SVG/JSON, collapsible node palette with hover descriptions, Zoom Lens for close-up inspection.

New node types — Comment (sticky-note annotation, does not execute) and Sub-Workflow (call another saved workflow as a step; circular references blocked automatically).

Retry logic — any HTTP Request node can retry automatically with a configurable count (up to 5), backoff strategy (Fixed / Linear / Exponential), retry delay, and per-status-code rules.

Response assertions — add pass/fail checks on status code, JSON body fields (JSONPath), response headers, or response time directly on a node — no scripting required.

Error handling edges — every node has an error handle; connect it to route failures to any downstream node. $error.message, $error.status, and $error.nodeId are available on the error path.

Run history — every execution is saved automatically. Replay any past run from the History tab with full trace, timings, and variable snapshots. Delete individual runs or clear all.

Auth inheritance on request nodes — HTTP Request nodes in workflows can now inherit auth from their parent collection (Bearer, Basic, API Key, or Inherit).

Workflow import / export — export a workflow as a .rostyman-workflow file; import restores all nodes, edges, and configuration.

5 built-in templates — API Health Check, Data Pipeline, Auth Flow, CRUD Suite, Retry Resilience.

Pencil edit icon on all tabs — click the pencil next to any tab title to rename it inline; cursor is placed at the end of the current name.

Full protocol translations — WebSocket, Socket.IO, MQTT, gRPC, and GraphQL Subscriptions status messages are now translated in all 18 languages.

Bug Fixes​

  • Trash: Empty All crashed if deleted workflows had run history — now clears history first
  • Workflow snap-to-grid did not align with the background grid — both now use the same 20 px unit
  • Opening a saved workflow immediately showed the "unsaved" dot — tabs now open clean
  • Node cards resized during execution causing canvas jitter — card height is now fixed
  • Traversed edges stayed highlighted after a run completed — edges clear on run end

v0.1.0-beta.13 — April 4, 2026​

Workspace management, binary response viewer, update manager, and full protocol i18n

Multiple workspaces — separate projects with their own collections, environments, globals, vault, mock servers, workflows, and jobs. Workspace switcher in the title bar with search, create, rename, export, and import.

Binary Response Viewer — images (PNG/JPG/GIF/WebP/SVG), video (MP4/WebM), audio (MP3/WAV/OGG), PDF, and CSV rendered natively in the response panel. Triggered automatically by content type.

Update Manager — silent background checks every 4 hours, status bar badge when an update is ready, full release history in Settings → About.

Environment selector on all protocols — WebSocket, gRPC, Socket.IO, MQTT, SSE, and MCP tabs now have an environment selector matching the HTTP request tab.

Full i18n for Scheduler, MCP, WebSocket, Socket.IO, MQTT, and gRPC tabs in all 18 languages.

Multi-select in collection tree (Ctrl+Click, Shift+Click). Screenshot to clipboard (Ctrl+Shift+P). First-run welcome dialog with demo workspace.

v0.1.0-beta.12 — April 2–3, 2026​
