Summary

Last week, Postman introduced a new logo and updated versions of both Postman and Newman, with significant enhancements such as pre-request scripting, a highly requested feature. This addition allows users to execute scripts just before sending requests to servers, enabling functionalities like generating dynamic values, handling custom authentication protocols, and manipulating data from JSON or CSV files. Users can set environment or global variables in the pre-request scripts, which are then utilized in HTTP requests, as demonstrated in a step-by-step example involving timestamp generation. The team encourages sharing creative use cases of pre-request scripts via social media or email, while also committing to regular updates of changelogs for both Postman and Newman to keep users informed about new features and improvements.
