Insomnia 13 is live. The primary focus of this release is eliminating configuration drift between your API gateway (source of truth) and your local testing environment.

### The TL;DR on what’s new:

- **Native Kong Konnect Integration:** You can now pull live routes, endpoints, and configurations directly from Konnect into Insomnia. This eliminates manual spec exports/imports and ensures you aren’t testing against stale or deprecated endpoints.

- **Overhauled UI & Onboarding:** The navigation and first-request workflows have been redesigned to reduce workspace clutter and make getting started faster for new team members.

- **Custom Linting for Cloud Projects:** API style guides are now enforced automatically across all project types, including Cloud projects. Design errors get flagged in the UI before they hit code review.

- **In Case You Missed It (v12.6):** Workspaces now use a native Git-friendly file format. You can edit configurations directly via the command line, and Insomnia reflects the changes instantly without manual syncs.
