Charles 3.2 released
Happy Easter! Charles 3.2 has been released today. There are lots of new features so I’ll cover a few of the highlights. You can read the full version history for the whole list. Breakpoints let you interactively change requests or responses as they pass through Charles. This opens up whole new opportunities for debugging and testing your applications. Throttling has been enhanced to allow individual throttle configurations for hosts, so not everything has to be throttled the same way anymore. Throttling now also has settings for down and up bandwidth, as these often differ in the real world. OS integration has improved with the new .chls file extension for saved Charles sessions, and you can now open a .chls file and have it open Charles on Windows and Mac OS X. Windows also gets single-instanced support, so you won’t open a second instance of Charles and have it complain about ports in use! On Windows these enhancements have been made possible by the WinRun4J Java launcher. Lots of improvements have been made in the Tools user-interface, including enable/disable checkboxes for each location listed in a tool for fine-grained control There are lots of other enhancements and bug fixes, making this an exciting release! It’s been in beta testing for quite some time but there could still be some bugs; if anything isn’t working the way you expect, or if anything has regressed, please contact me immediately! Finally, I am planning to change the licensing model for Charles in April: licenses will no longer include life-time upgrades, they will be for the current major version (2.x, 3.x) with upgrade pricing for subsequent versions. This will help Charles to keep improving! Existing license holders are of course not affected by this change. Download
