New in Selenium IDE 1.3.0 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • New - Firefox 7 support (again, just a version max version bump) in, but then I got busy and didn't push it when I had planned and so now
  • New - Order of locators can be controlled through a panel in options.
  • has leaked in. Most people will want to just leave this the way it is by default. This is brand-spanking-new and allows you to do visually what you could before using a somewhat arcane bit of JS in an extension.

New in Selenium IDE 1.2.0 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • New - Firefox 6 support (which really was just changing the max version number)
  • But we also snuck in:
  • Bug - Recorded CSS locator was not W3C clean wrt attributes
  • Bug - Deleting of cookies works properly if the cookie name is escaped (such as will ASP sites)
  • Bug - If the cookie value has an = in it, the whole cookie is now returned instead of just up to the =
  • You will also notice that the bundle now only has formatters for the officially supported languages of the project (Java, C#, Python, Ruby). If anyone from the Perl, Groovy or PHP camps wants to take on ownership of those formats we'll happily help you out.

New in Selenium IDE 1.1.0 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • New - WebDriver exports for Ruby, Python, C# and Java
  • Which are the four supported languages of the Selenium project. This also means that Se-IDE is officially deprecating inclusion of the Groovy, Perl and PHP format plugins in the main release bundle. It would be outstanding if the community around those languages picks up their development and maintenance. Read more about the WebDriver exporters on Samit's blog.
  • Of course, format switching is still in Experimental purgatory for at least this release. Losing people's scripts because of bugs is not acceptable and we're working on it. To 'goal' is to have them back for the next release.
  • Also included in this release are:
  • New - setIndent(n) is now available to formats for greater control over formatting of export formats
  • Bug - There was a performance regression in deep in some shared code that has been addressed.
  • New - Rather than recording 'foo' for an element which and an id of 'foo' it is captured as 'id=foo' to be very specific as to which element would be interacted with
  • New - Same with 'name'
  • New - Popups (alerts, confirms, prompts) and new windows work again

New in Selenium IDE 1.0.12 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • This is a minor release with nothing too huge included. But because the last one didn't get pushed to the world, it is important to make a note of a big change introduced in 1.0.11.
  • We have marked the changing of formats as Experimental due to a couple lose-all-your-data bugs. As a result it is disabled in the toolbar by default. To enable it, click the checkbox in the Options menu. And because we really don't want you to lose your data, when you switch formats you will get a big warning box. This too can be disabled in the Options menu. But if you do both of these things and your script gets sent to the abyss, you have been warned.
  • Changes in this release include the following:
  • New - Firefox 5 support
  • New - When upgrading Se-IDE, the release notes (these) are shown on first start
  • Bug - some Java format changes
  • Bug - some PHP format changes
  • Bug - the 'Find' button works again
  • Bug - generated CSS is standards compliant
  • New - dropped support for FF 3.5 or older

New in Selenium IDE 1.0.11 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • Main Features:
  • Firefox 4 support
  • New CSS locator builder! Selenium IDE will now create locators using CSS when recording
  • Added more power to the plugin developers through the new Util command builders support
  • New command getCssCount
  • Usability Improvements:
  • Selenium IDE is now available from the Web developer menu in Firefox 4
  • Camel Case search in command text box has been improved allowing you to type vTP for verifyTextPresent command
  • Most actions in Selenium IDE are now accessible through the new Actions menu

  • The plugins pane in the Options dialog now has a splitter
  • Default Timeout Value field in the Options dialog now mentions a unit
  • Introduced experimental features option to hide some unstable features
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Format changing is now marked as experimental due to possible issues, you can turn it on from the options dialog
  • Fixed the header issue on saving test case in another format
  • Improved alert on changing the format
  • Find button is back on Macs and uses a new way to highlight
  • Recording is possible in the middle of a script again
  • Fixed the annoying skip over one command when recording in the middle of the script
  • While recording, "clickAndWait" command becomes "click" is now fixed
  • Selenium IDE bottom pane folding now works correctly
  • Changed the ID of Selenium IDE menu from generic name to avoid clashes with other addons.
  • Improvements/Fixes Related to Formatters:
  • Fixed support for stored variables in PHP formatter
  • Allow formatters to customise how set* is handled
  • Some bug fixes in PHP formatter
  • Number type fix
  • New Java formatter: Webdriver backed Junit 4 formatter
  • New PHP formatter: Testing selenium formatter
  • Known Issues:
  • Issue 1728 - Firefox 4 eliminated support for the highlight. So the Find button has stopped working under Firefox 4 on Windows.
  • Issue 1729 - The Plugin pane in the Options dialog is not shownig any text in Firefox 4 on Windows 7.
  • Issues have been reported in Selenium IDE on Ubuntu 11, which are not related to Selenium IDE. See comments on issue 1642 .

New in Selenium IDE 1.0.10 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • Another packaging problem broke the various things that used getText(). Which of course is one of the most commonly used bits of the API.
  • BUG - properly including se-core atoms
  • As a result, we've started to rebuild the test suite for things. It's going to take awhile to get the coverage we're hoping for, but it'll be worth it if we can go at least 2 days after a release before becoming embarrassed.
  • Upgrade Notes:
  • Due to the atoms being included properly, some of the behaviour around accessing boolean attributes has changed.

New in Selenium IDE 1.0.9 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • What started out as a pretty major change in terms of packaging ended up including two significant bug fixes as well. Hopefully we avoid that sort of thing with the release. Not that I don't expect it.
  • BUG - Sizzle CSS library not included
  • BUG - Recording works with FF 4.0b7
  • NEW - Formatters are all plugins. This effectively separates the development of an individual format from the development of the editor. Now, this means that when you install things for the first time you get a tonne of addons. That is ok. Don't panic. Oh, and it also means if you don't want them you have the option to. Not only does this mean fixes to formats get distributed sooner (PHP, I'm looking at you) but 3rd parties will be able to make better packaging choices by having the editor plus their formatters.
  • Other stuff:
  • BUG - the JUnit 4 formatter doesn't try to use a string as the port number
  • BUG - the window when creating new formats properly closes now
  • BUG - some hard coded strings have been internationalized
  • NEW - autocomplete has been enhanced somewhat
  • BUG - when switching build systems, the icons for menus and such got left out of the package
  • BUG - commands are trimmed of whitespace before executing which was sometimes a source of great confusion
  • BUG - now preserves whitespace when displaying diffs in the log

New in Selenium IDE 1.0.8 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • This release is primarily to get FF4 support out into the wild since it is getting to the advanced beta phase, but there is also a fair bit of other bug fixes in there as well.
  • BUG - There was an annoying bug where 'clickAndWait' would be saved as click, but has been fixed.
  • NEW -This could arguably be considered a bug fix, but if you changed format from HTML to something else then made an edit and switched back again to HTML your script contents would be lost. At its heart, the HTML -> something conversion is one way and so there is now a warning about possibly losing your code. The warning only happens the first time though so you can still shoot yourself in the foot; its just harder
  • BUG - element locator works for table rows.
  • BUG - the default timeout setting of se-ide is now actually used.
  • NEW - the 'run in the selenium testrunner' option has been removed. The supported methods in se-ide are the play single, play suite and if you need more there is always se-rc with a language binding or -htmlSuite
  • BUG - the base url wouldn't change on occasion, much to the frustration of many
  • NEW - a JUnit 4 formatter was added
  • BUG - the RSpec formatter had some additional tweaks
  • BUG - test suite html can now have tests from different folders
  • BUG - test suite saving triggers got a bit of attention so add/delete/modify is a little more robust
  • NEW - if you resize your se-ide and/or move it around your screen, the size and position are saved between sessions
  • BUG - the logic around when to prompt for saving wasn't really that nice, but its been fixed
  • NEW - uses 'browser atoms' like the rest of Selenium
  • NEW - CSS locator execution is handled through Sizzle
  • NEW - can now add multiple test cases to a suite at once
  • NEW - addition to the se-ide plugin api to add se-ide extensions to manipulate how recording is done
  • NEW - the case of the missing log messages is now solved
  • NEW - Firefox 4 support

New in Selenium IDE 1.0.7 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • Only a couple of things of note in this release to end-users which is somewhat silly since it is a month overdue, but that was due to some build changes that took a bit of work to get the kinks worked out. Should be ok now though.
  • NEW - you can now drag-and-drop command around instead of the cut-insert-paste dance that you used to have to do
  • NEW - same thing with tests in the test suite panel
  • NEW - an new optional parameter when registering you se-ide plugin to allow for command exporting.
  • NEW - Swedish locale sv-SE now has translations
  • BUG - Some people were reporting an annoying popup when starting se-ide without any plugins installed

New in Selenium IDE 1.0.6 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • The big thing in this release is that the scary log message that was showing up on 'open' is fixed. The other big things are:
  • BUG - The scary log message that was happening when you used 'open' has had its underlying cause fixed.
  • BUG - fixed a build issue with FF 3.6 and type-ahead for commands
  • BUG - fixed some PHP export issues
  • BUG - there was a packaging issue around user-extensions
  • BUG - ide won't put 'name=' as the Target when recording a selectWindow
  • BUG - to avoid confusion, when viewing formatter source, if it is read-only the button says 'ok' and if it is editable then it is 'save'
  • NEW - you can now set a preference on whether you want record to be on or off when you start ide
  • NEW - se-ide plugin information is read from the plugin's install.rdf (most people won't care about this, but its pretty cool from a geek perspective)

New in Selenium IDE 1.0.5 (Nov 28, 2013)

  • One thing that does not really fit the BUG or NEW label is that the code for Se-IDE is now in the main repo rather than tucked away in a somewhat hidden location.
  • BUG - user formats were not appearing in the list
  • BUG - constrained how iframes were loaded; which is why AMO was unhappy
  • BUG - a whole bunch of tweaks to the existing formats
  • BUG - a bunch of French translation fixes / additions
  • BUG - the reload user extensions button only shows up if you have the developer tool checkbox checked
  • BUG - labelling access keys on test runner
  • BUG - cleaned up a bunch of references from OpenQA to SeleniumHQ
  • BUG - had an = instead of ==
  • BUG - adding a bunch of ;'s to make jslint shut up
  • BUG - getting rid of the 'setting something that only has a getter' message in Firefox 3.6
  • NEW - self hosting of updates to avoid delays at AMO
  • NEW - the version of se-ide is now in the title bar
  • NEW - added some Se-IDE specific icons here and there
  • NEW - preferences can now be Bool's as well
  • NEW - added addPlugin(id) to the plugin API
  • NEW - added a new panel to the Options screen around plugins. It doesn't do much now other than list the plugins that registered themselves through addPlugin, but should do more for 1.0.6
