Selenium Core 0.8.0

The Selenium Core team (of which I'm a sometime member) released version 0.8.0 last week.

Highlights include:

  • a "multiWindow" option which places the application-under-test in a separate window, allowing testing of "frame-busting" apps;
  • more reliable page-load detection for popup windows;
  • new cookie-management actions;
  • a run-speed slider and "Pause" button which replace the old Run/Walk/Step radio-buttons;
  • many bug-fixes and stability improvements;
  • tested against latest versions of Firefox, IE6, Opera, Konqueror, Safari and WebKit.

The multi-window layout option is a great step forward, since it was a limitation that prevented many people from using Selenium.
