 Detailed release notes
 ======================

New Features
------------

* With the new Windows engine QF-Test can now test native Windows
  applications.

* Support was added for testing applications based on Java 14.

* The new 'Comment' node can be used to improve the structure and
  readability of test-suites and run-logs.

* It is now possible to download a file via the new 'Save response to
  file' attribute of the 'Server HTTP request' node.

* A package for Windows applications has been added to the standard
  library qfs.qft.

* On Windows 10 QF-Test is now correctly displayed at scaled high
  resolution displays.

* In the manual the chapter Web testing has been revised and a section
  (subsection 45.1.3) describing the procedure
  qfs.web.ajax.installCustomWebResolver of the standard library has
  been added.

* The option "Show message dialog after..." now has a setting to show
  a message dialog also when a test run finishes successfully.

* If the result dialog gets shown after a search the search dialog is
  now closed automatically.

* The new procedure qfs.util.click in the standard library qfs.qft can
  be used to click at an arbitrary position on the screen.

* You can now create an electron start sequence in the quickstart
  wizard that automatically detects the required ChromeDriver.

* When copying a 'Procedure call', 'Test call' or 'Dependency
  reference' node the name of the target node is now also copied as
  text to the clipboard.

* The bundled GeckoDriver has been updated to version 0.26.0.

* On Windows tests with the Microsoft Edge 78 and newer are also
  possible in headless mode.

* QF-Test supports now Opera 66 with Operadriver 79.0.3945.79.

* The new variable engine.$(componentId) in the qftest special group
  makes it possible to find out which GUI-engine a component belongs
  to.

* The project tree view in QF-Test now uses a natural sort order,
  respecting indexes and cases.

* Data for several new mobile devices was added to the Mobile
  Emulation setup in the quickstart wizard.


Bugs Fixed
----------

* An image might have been removed from the run-log in low-memory
  situations.

* Fixed a sporadic exception that could appear when creating a
  test-suite from a run-log.

* 'Finally' nodes inside a 'Try' now get executed even when an instant
  rerun gets triggered from within the 'Try' node.

* ImageWrapper methods now log warnings whenever the method fails.

* In very rare cases the [Ctrl] key might accidentally have stayed in
  pressed state after finishing replay.
