ReleaseNotes25
When the development of this SeleniumLibrary release started, it was labeled 2.4.1 and the idea was to just have a quick bug fix release for the previous release. In the end the amount of new keywords and other exciting new functionality made it clear that this release deserves label 2.5.
SeleniumLibrary 2.5 was released on Tuesday 2010-11-16. The installers are available on the download page.
The library will automatically take a screenshot whenever another keyword from the library fails. It is possible to use also some other action or disable this feature altogether. For more information see Issue 139 and the Importing section in the library documentation.
The library uses a custom Firefox profile with automation friendly customization. For more information see Issue 151 and a separate wiki page that explains also how to use your own custom profiles.
It is possible to install SeleniumLibrary with Python's easy_install package management tool (Issue 143). If you have easy_install installed, all you need to do is run command easy_install robotframework-seleniumlibrary.
This release contains altogether 10 new keywords. See the list of issues below for details.
A consequence of using a custom Firefox profile by default is that possible customization in the system default profile are not taken into account. The wiki page explaining custom profiles also explains how to force using the default profile.
Big thanks for Robert Spielmann from codecentric for implementing, with tests and documentation, several new keywords (Issue 118, Issue 136, Issue 137, Issue 144), and helping with documentation (Issue 127, Issue 140) and other tasks. Robert has been awarded with commit rights and is now considered one of the core developers of this library.
Additional thanks for user xieyanbo for great patch for Issue 138, and for the.real.pjeby for a tip how to resolve the easy_install bug (Issue 143).
