What's new in DevUtils 1.9.0?
👋 Hello everyone! I am very pleased to announce the first issue of our newsletter that will deliver information about new features, updates, and tips for DevUtils.app.
Today, I'm releasing version 1.9.0 with a lot of new features and improvements. Check it out! 👇
📝 Convert JSON to CSV
One of the most requested feature in DevUtils is finally here:
JSON to CSV is a simple tool to convert a structured JSON array into a comma-separated values file (CSV). DevUtils has a lot of options for you to customize the output:
Customize quote and escaped quote character
Include or hide the header row
Include or hide empty rows
Use excel data format
📝 CSV to JSON (it always come in pairs!)
CSV to JSON allows you to... well, convert CSV to JSON! It supports a few important options like swaps column/row and ignores the header row, which comes very handy in some cases.
🧮 Hash Generator
You can now generate a hash with popular hash algorithms from a string or an input file with DevUtils.
Currently, the supported hash algorithms are MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512.
There is a plan to add more cryptography tools to DevUtils (e.g., HMAC signing). Stay tuned!
🔍 Change font size is possible now!
Just use ⌘+, ⌘- to increase/decrease font size, ⌘0 to reset font size. Or you can have fun and change the font to anything with ⌘T.
💣 Big inputs/files handled!
Big inputs are now handled correctly (instead of crashing). You will be able to format a JSON file that is megabytes or even gigabytes (depends on how good your machine is).
For big files, DevUtils will not render the content to the UI. Instead, it will be processed and saved in the background.
🔨 Many more improvements
Other than the new features, there are many more improvements and fixes in this release.
HTML Preview: added "Open in browser" button
Added "Save to file…" to the right-click menu
Added option to minify the output of the YAML to JSON tool
Fixed the CSS Beautify/Minify tool not working correctly with CSS variables and media queries.
Fixed the encode/decode tools not persisting the user-selected option across app restarts
...
For a complete list, you can check out the changelog page.
💡 DevUtils tip #1
You can access the DevUtils menu by right-clicking the status bar icon! This will be convenient if you choose to hide DevUtils' Dock icon. The reason is that the App menu won't appear when the Dock icon is hidden.
⬆️ Available for update now!
You can now update DevUtils to version 1.9.0 now by going to DevUtils Menu > Check for Updates... or update via App Store and Setapp.
💸 One last thing: 30-day refund policy!
If you haven't bought DevUtils yet, I have an announcement for you: Starting from today, the refund policy is extended to 30 days (previously was 14 days).
Please give it a try. I'm confident that it will worth every of your penny. If you don't like it after 30 days? I will refund, no question asked. Buy DevUtils here.
