IO Ninja Accounts, Capabilities, And Subscriptions

The new account-based ecosystem is here to replace the old licensing model. Now you can cherry-pick only those IO Ninja capabilities that are important to you and your line of work — instead of having to purchase an all-in-one license and thus essentially pay for something you might never use. For those of you who don't want to choose capabilities one-by-one and would prefer a more straightforward approach instead, we provide subscriptions that enable everything at once. For companies, we have workgroup accounts that allow for convenient sharing of capabilities and subscriptions among workgroup members. Read more about the new account, capabilities, and subscription ecosystem on the introduction page.

WebSocket Plugins

Modern Web programming often employs WebSockets technology. With it, you enjoy the two-way communication between a browser and a server instead of the traditional HTTP request-response pattern — this helps building modern web applications in a much more natural, flexible, and efficient way. The new WebSocket Client and WebSocket Server for IO Ninja are here to help you test and debug your WebSocket-based applications!

Device Monitor Updates

New versions of the Linux kernel often introduce breaking changes that cause Device Monitor to stop working with some (and sometimes, all) devices properly. This time, it was about (a) the employment of read_iter and write_iter file operations in the TTY kernel module and (b) memory page management on ARM. With this release, IO Ninja catches up — the Serial Monitor plugin for Linux is functional again!
