-
-* RIP FireWatir - there won't be any new releases due to the lack of JSSH extension for Firefox 4+ versions.
-* all elements are using 0-based indexing instead of old 1-based indexing:
- - disable it temporarily: require "watir"; Watir.options[:zero_based_indexing] = false
-* #radio and #checkbox methods doesn't allow 3 parameters anymore for locating with "value"
- - use browser.radio(:name => "something", :value => "some value") syntax instead for locating with "value"
-* all element methods accept now multiple-specifiers with hash syntax, for example:
- - browser.element(:class => "someclass", :name => "somename")
-* all elements are searchable by :xpath and :css now (note that it's usually slower than searching by other specifiers)
-* #button, #form and #frame doesn't accept single string as a specifier anymore to search by name:
- - use browser.frame(:name => "name") or browser.frame(:name, "name") syntax instead
-* :index => 0 is used as a default specifier if nothing is specified:
- - browser.div(:id => "id").table.tr is same as browser.div(:id => "id").table(:index => 0).tr(:index => 0)
-* all collection methods accept now specifiers too:
- - browser.divs(:class => "someclass").each {|div| puts div.class_name} # => "someclass"
-* removed FormElement class
-* added aliases:
- - tr => row
- - trs => rows
- - td => cell

- - as => links 
- - img => image
- - imgs => images

-
-== Version 1.6.1

-
-== Version 1.6.0
-
-This release merges the Watir and FireWatir projects. It contains many 
-compatibility fixes,
-as well as a new browser-independent interface your tests can use to allow you
-to specify the browser at run time. 
-
-We have also updated our existing support for modal dialogs so that it now works
-with Ruby 1.8.6. Users who have been using Ruby 1.8.2 because of this will now
-need to upgrade to Ruby 1.8.6.
-
-This release also contains many other fixes. Details below.
-
-Watir and FireWatir are still distributed as separate gems. Installing the 
-Watir gem will automatically install FireWatir. Both gems now use common code
-contained in the "commonwatir" gem.
-
-This release is fully backwards compatible with previous versions of Watir and
-FireWatir. Your existing scripts should continue to run without change.
-
-=== Installation
-
-To install both Watir and FireWatir:
-
-  gem update --system
-  gem install watir
-  
-To only install FireWatir (e.g. on Mac or Linux)
-
-  gem update --system
-  gem install firewatir
-  
-To enable Firefox to work with Watir, you will also need to install the 
-JSSH plugin. See this page for details.
-http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FireWatir+Installation#FireWatirInstallation-3%29InstalltheJSSHFirefoxExtension
-
-=== New Features
-You can now replace references to Watir::IE.new (or FireWatir::Firefox.new)
-with Watir::Browser.new to allow you to
-specify which browser to run your tests against at run time. Details:
-http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Browser.new
-
-It takes two lines of code to allow Browser.new to support an additional Watir
-implementation. The two lines necessary for SafariWatir (on Mac) are provided.
-(See commonwatir/lib/watir/browsers.rb).
-
-In addition to 'browser', options supported by Browser.new (on IE only right now)
-are 'speed' and 'visible'.
-
-Unit tests no longer run from the gems. You will need to get the source if you
-want to run the unit tests. 
-
-=== Compatibility Fixes
-* FireWatir now raises Watir exceptions.
-* FireWatir now supports multiple attributes for most page elements.
-* Watir now supports multiple attributes for most page elements.
-* Added support to FireWatir for many more element types.
-* Added Radio#checked? and Checkbox#checked? methods to FireWatir.
-* Now firefox.radio().set will click a radio button (as does IE) even if it 
-  is already set. This is important if there is javascript attached to the
-  radio button.
-* TextField#set now respects the maxlength of the field. Previously, FireWatir
-  could overrun the limit. FireWatir::TextField.maxlength now works correctly.
-* Watir::SelectList#includes? and #selected now accept regexp arguments.
-  This functionality is still missing from FireWatir, but it is in Celerity.
-  From Jari Bakken. Fixes #261.
-* FireWatir::Element#disabled is fixed.
-* Added method Watir::Table#row_count_excluding_nested_tables. This works like
-  FireWatir::Table#row_count.
-* Watir#wait_until is now available to FireWatir.
-* Fixed versioning. With FireWatir 1.2.1, FireWatir::Firefox::VERSION
-  actually reported '1.1.1.'.
-* FireWatir will now automatically starts Firefox on Mac (as it did previously 
-  on Windows and Linux).
-
-=== IE Fixes
-* Fix for: form field named "submit" causes "submit" method to not work. 
-  Closes #223.
-* Calling ie.radio().set now scrolls the page to the control, as with other
-  controls. Thanks to Jonathan Kohl for the fix. Closes #172.
-* Fixed ie.speed, which was returning ":fast" when speed was actually ":zippy".
-* Fix for visible? method not being inherited correctly. From Alan Baird. 
-  Closes #253
-* Added ie.forms method. Thanks to Jarmo P.
-* Fix for "undefined method 'document'" error that was occuring when loading
-  pages with frames that were slow to load. Reported here: 
-  http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general/browse_thread/thread/ddde6251e30588c9
-* Fixed accessing checkboxes and radio buttons using :ole_object on IE.
-  Closes #217.
-
-=== Unit Test Improvements
-* Unit tests no longer can be run from a gem install. Rather, you need to run them
-  from a complete source tree.
-* New rake targets for Watir: test and cruise, each of which runs the core tests.
-* Numerous fixes and cleanup to the unit test suite.
-* The unit tests both both Watir and FireWatir now use the new Browser.new 
-  interface and can be run
-  against either implementation (Watir::IE or FireWatir::Firefox or others for
-  that matter). See this page for details.
-  http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Running+Unit+Tests+in+Development
-* Added tagging to unit tests. Tests which have known failures are now tagged
-  as ":fails_on_ie" or ":fails_on_firefox".
-* Added coverage modes for running unit tests. These are documented on the wiki
-  page cited above.
-* Updated tests that were still using obsolete Watir 1.0 interfaces.
-* Started merging the Watir test suites into commonwatir.
-* General test clean up.
-* Test failures due to not setting IE security settings will now issue
-  helpful error message telling you how to fix your IE security settings.
-
-=== Structural Changes
-* Moved library files into "lib" directories. Now Watir is like all the other
-  Ruby projects.
-* Moved FireWatir classes into the FireWatir module.
-* Removed examples. They are now on the wiki.
-* Simplified code by removing duplication and unused code.
-* The watir-console now works from the development tree.
-* Renamed IE.defaults to IE.options and IE.defaults= to IE.set_options.
-* Added top-level "rake gems" target. Only works on windows right now.
-
-
-== Watir 1.5.6
-
-To install this:
-
-  "gem update --system"
-  "gem install watir"
-
-Installer Fix
-
-This update fixes an installer problem in Watir 1.5.5 that affected some users. 
-If you installed 1.5.5 without error, there is no reason to get this update.
-
-== Watir 1.5.5.
-
-New Features
-
-* Multiple attributes can now be specified for these elements:
-  li, ul, map, area, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6. (This was claimed to work earlier, 
-  but never did.)
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-196
-
-Bug Fixes
-
-* Statements such at ie.table().row() now work (no longer private). 
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-117
-* Fixed bug with images method when used with anything but ie. (Paul Rogers)
-  E.g. ie.div().images. http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-211
-* Fixed intermittent bug with ie.file_field().set. (Tomislav Car)
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-210
-* When installing Watir 1.5.4 you could get extra, confusing
-  questions. This shouldn't happen anymore.
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-209
-* Improved error message when element is not found using multiple attributes.
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-181
-* Made examples and unit tests somewhat better examples: removed unnecessary
-  "include Watir" statements; started using "browser" instead of "$ie"; use
-  new methods 'goto_page' and 'uses_page' (this last improves performance of 
-  unit tests). 
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-159
-* Moved brittle unit test that was causing cascading failures; renamed another
-  that was causing a namespace collision.  
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-92
-
-== Version 1.5.4
-
-New Features
-
-* Add new speed, :zippy. This is like fast, but, in effect, it does a TextField#value= instead of a TextField#set. If you have specific text fields that you never want this to happen to, use ie.text_field(:how, what).requires_typing.set instead.
-  http://svn.openqa.org/fisheye/changelog/watir/?cs=1295
-* Add support for Chinese input as supplied by Vincent Xu. 
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-71.
-

-* Fix for bug in IE.close_others provided by Paul Taylor.
-  http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-194
-* Fix for error when using verify_equal with ci_reporter, provided by Marcog.

-
-Major Changes in 1.5.2
-    Support for IE's Modal Dialogs. 
-      showModalDialog() 
-    Any method can be used to specify an element (:text, :class, etc.). 
-      ie.button(:class,'Button Menu').click
-      ie.div(:text, 'Type').text_field(:class, 'TextInput-input').set('my value')
-      ie.button(:text, 'Save').click 
-    One can now use multiple attributes to specify an element.
-      ie.span(:class =>'Label', :text => 'Add new').click
-      
-Other Changes in 1.5.2
-    * Migrated IE.new_process from watir/contrib and improved its reliability. We now recommend IE.new_process over IE.new as a way to avoid numerous errors detailed in http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-150.
-    * Added IE.start_process. This works like IE.start, but uses the new_process mechanism to start IE.
-    * Added IE.new_window and IE.start_window. This are synonyms for IE.new and IE.start.
-    * Added dependency on the win32-process gem.
-    * Added IE.each, which iterates through the various IE windows currently open.
-    * Updated WindowHelper and watir/dialog to work with IE7

-    * HTML value attributes are checked as strings before converting, updated unit tests.
-    * Watir::wait_until clean up.
-    * Fix for winclicker when installed in directory with spaces.
-    * Rdoc changes and updates.
-    * A workaround for frame access errors in the wait command, swallowing access denied errors and rethrowing if other WIN32OLERuntimeErrors show up.
-    * Add support for "li" tag.
-    * Fix for bug in element_by_xpath. http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general@rubyforge.org/msg06742.html
-    * "Wait" method now is called recursively into nested frames. http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-107
-    * Rdocs now only include the core Watir library (not contrib).
-    * Improve error reporting when IE#modal_dialog isn't found.
-    * Add method "ModalDialog#exists?"
-    * Add Watir::Win32.window_exists? method.
-    * Fix for winclicker setComboBoxTest and setTextBoxText http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-124
-    * Improved Support for IE7
-        o Fix for IE7 on ie.exists? http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-123
-        o Fix for IE7 with winclicker.
-        o Fix for check_for_http_error in IE7. http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-141
-    *  Fix for IE7 on ie.exists? http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-123
-    * Rubyw is now used in winclicker to bypass command line windows.
-    * Autoit is registered before being used.
-    * Watir now checks for the right version of Ruby before loading our customized Win32ole library.
-    * ie.file_field has been fixed and unit test updated.
-    * rdoc generation has been fixed.
-    * page checker has been moved from the default behavior into contrib/page_checker.rb
-    * Fix for intermittent crashes occuring when using Watir with Ruby version > 1.8.2.
-    * Fix for http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-86
-        This fix prevents the Watir-modified win32ole.so library (compiled against 1.8.2) from being used.
-    * Added Element#parent
-    * Add new methods Element#after? and Element#before?
-    * Added support for relative specifiers. E.g.:
-        link = $ie.link(:class => 'addtocart', :after? => @headline)
-    * Removed NAVIGATION_CHECKER from Watir.rb, added to contrib. This fixes rdoc generation and stops the frame access exception being thrown in the default installation.
-    * Open-code calls to def_creator, for easier debugging and rdoc generation of factory methods.
-    * Winclicker fix for too many callbacks defined error.
-    * Patch for rspec API changes
-    * You can now reference an iframe using IE#frame(:id, 'whatever'). Jira 109
-    * Added 'map' and 'area' element support.
-    * Moved Watir::Assertions into new file watir/assertions.rb so they can be used outside test cases.

-    * The click_no_wait method now works in frames.
-    * Released new IE.new_process method to 'watir/contrib/ie-new-process'. This starts up a new IE process for each IE window, which is really how it should be done. To close these use IE#kill. Any one getting intermittent RPC errors when opening windows may want to use this instead.
-    * Several examples have been updated.
-    * Moved enabled_popup to a new contrib directory.
-    * Added several tests.
