Release 2.16.1
This is a bug fix release, along with some minor enhancements.
This release was made possible thanks to Checkmarx
who employ 3 of the Core Team to work on ZAP.
These release notes do not include all of the changes included in add-ons updated since 2.16.0.
The enhancements include:
Use Main Output Tab for Scripts
The Script Console no longer includes its own "Script Output" panel.
Instead it uses the main Output tab.
Support Sub-tabs in Output Tab
The Output tab now supports sub-tabs.
The Script Console add-on will add one tab for each script that generates any output, making it much easier to see where output messages come from.
API Support for Plugable Authentication and Session Management
The API now supports plugable Authentication and Session Management methods, which means you can configure modern
options like Browser Based Authentication.
Authentication Enhancements
Many enhancements have been made to ensure ZAP handles authentication more easily and effectively,
including support for TOTP.
Windows Native Decorations Support
ZAP now supports Native Decorations on Windows systems, providing a more unified and visually pleasing experience.
AJAX Spider URL Count
The AJAX Spider no longer counts URLs that are out of scope. This may affect any tests you have in place.
