Caido v0.53.0

This update introduces shared instances for teams, a new Convert drawer for on-the-fly transformations, redirect handling in Automate, and major SDK upgrades for plugin developers.

🔥 Shared Instances (Team Plan)

Multiple users can now connect to the same Caido instance.

This opens the door to new ways of collaborating:

Continue an assessment where a teammate left off
Collaborate in real-time on the same instance (coming soon — still experimental in this release)

📐 Convert Drawer

A new bottom drawer for automatic encoding detection and quick conversions. Supports the following conversions:

Base64

We've added two new right-click menu items:

You can now convert POST bodies between JSON ↔ x-www-form-urlencoded
You can now save requests to a file

🔄 Automate: Follow Redirects

Automate can now follow redirects automatically, making automated testing smoother for chained requests.

🔒 Match & Replace: SNI Override

Match & Replace now supports overriding the SNI (Server Name Indication) field.
