+# Announcing HeadSpin as Appium's Development Partner
+
+Recently, we announced a new [sponsorship and contributor compensation program](https://appium.io/docs/en/latest/blog/2024/05/14/announcing-appiums-sponsorship-program/) for the Appium
+project. As part of this program, we felt it was important to have a place to recognize those
+companies who make an extremely valuable kind of contribution to the project: dedicated maintainer
+time. Appium only survives because of the tireless efforts of the core maintainers, and some of us
+are only able to do this work because it is donated on behalf of our day jobs. We're therefore very
+excited to announce our first Development Partner: <a
+href="https://www.headspin.io/solutions/appium-mobile-test-automation">HeadSpin</a>!
+

+</div>
+
+HeadSpin is a real device performance and UX analysis cloud, with full support for Appium. When you
+run your Appium tests on HeadSpin, you get access to comprehensive performance reports about your
+app, including potential network, system resource, or user experience issues. HeadSpin supports
+a variety of complex testing modes, including hooking up your own devices to the cloud, injecting
+and receiving video and audio to/from devices, working with media (streaming) platforms, and more.
+
+HeadSpin has been one of the Appium project's biggest supporters for a long time, and currently
+employs two of Appium's core maintainers, donating a significant portion of their time towards the
+development, maintenance, support, and leadership of open source Appium repos. HeadSpin has also
+worked hard towards Appium's vision of a robust Appium ecosystem, contributing several
+HeadSpin-maintained Appium drivers and plugins to the community:
+
+- A [Roku TV driver](https://github.com/headspinio/appium-roku-driver)
+- A [Tizen TV driver](https://github.com/headspinio/appium-tizen-tv-driver/)
+- A [LG webOS TV driver](https://github.com/headspinio/appium-lg-webos-driver/)
+- A [Unity game automation plugin](https://github.com/headspinio/appium-altunity-plugin)
+
+These are all free and open source Appium components that HeadSpin has donated to the community
+with the goal of fostering collaboration in these areas of media app automation.
+
+Looking to the future, HeadSpin plans to continue supporting Appium in significant ways, both as
+a Development Partner and a significant contributor to the Appium ecosystem. The Appium project is
+deeply indebted to HeadSpin for all of its support, and is proud to take this moment to recognize
+HeadSpin as our first official Development Partner!

+

+  </a>
+</div>
+
+LambdaTest engineers are already contributing actively across several key Appium repositories. Their current focus includes:
+**appium-mcp** – Supporting Appium's implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to drive forward modern AI-assisted capabilities.

+**appium-tun-tap** – Assisting in the development and maintenance of network virtualization and tunneling components for advanced testing scenarios.
+
+These contributions strengthen critical infrastructure within the Appium ecosystem and demonstrate LambdaTest's commitment to deep technical involvement in the project's evolution.
+About LambdaTest
+
+LambdaTest’s platform already serves a massive community of Appium users. As a GenAI-powered Quality Engineering Platform, they provide a full-stack testing cloud with 10,000+ real mobile devices and 3,000+ browsers.
+Beyond standard infrastructure, they are pushing the boundaries of test execution with AI-native test management and next-generation agents like KaneAI. By supporting Appium alongside Selenium, Playwright, and other major frameworks, LambdaTest helps teams orchestrate intelligent automation at cloud scale.
+
+LambdaTest will continue contributing people, code, and development expertise to strengthen Appium's core functionality. Their commitment represents a significant investment into the future of the framework, and we're thrilled to have them collaborating with us at this deeper level.
+The Appium project is proud to recognize LambdaTest as our newest official Development Partner. We can't wait to see what we'll build together!

+# Announcing Sauce Labs as Appium's Strategic Partner
+
+The good news surrounding our new sponsorship and contributor compensation
+program
+just keeps coming! Effective immediately we are fortunate and excited to be able to welcome a new Strategic Partner to
+the Appium project: <a href="https://saucelabs.com/resources/blog/appium-strategic-partner">Sauce Labs</a>!

+</div>
+
+Sauce Labs has a long history of support for the Appium project. In fact, Appium was initially
+incubated at Sauce Labs under the direction of [@jlipps](https://github.com/jlipps), in the early
+days of mobile automation. Sauce Labs always envisioned Appium as being a project for and by the
+community, and cemented this perspective in 2016 with the donation of Appium to the JS Foundation
+(now the [OpenJS Foundation](https://openjsf.org/)). To this day, developers associated with Sauce
+Labs continue to help maintain various parts of the Appium project.
+
+Now, Sauce Labs is making a further commitment to support Appium financially as a way to enable
+our new contributor compensation program. We're very excited about this program as a vehicle for
+getting more people involved in Appium's development and maintenance. With the help of Strategic
+Partners like Sauce Labs, our project will be better able to meet the needs of our constantly
+growing userbase, and attract new developers (like you?) to build the Appium ecosystem together.
+Needless to say, we are extremely grateful for Sauce Labs's support!
+
+**About Sauce Labs**
+
+<em>Sauce Labs is the leader in continuous quality. Our Platform for Test helps organizations transform software testing from a chore to a competitive advantage. With decades of expertise and deep roots in the Selenium and Appium open source communities, high performing software teams use our platform to execute any testing workload across thousands of different devices, browsers, and operating systems—anywhere, any time, and at any scale.

+# Announcing Appium's Sponsorship Program
+
+Over the last several months, the Appium team has been working on a sponsorship program that is
+designed to help give back to Appium's contributors as well as to recognize important partner
+individuals or companies in the industry. This program is now officially launching! Let's dive into
+some of the details.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+First of all, the details and fine print will always be available at Appium's Governance
+document, which outlines how the
+project is run, who makes project decisions, etc... This document will be kept up to date with the
+latest details of the program, so that's the place to bookmark for reference!
+
+As of now, Appium has opened up sponsorship opportunities via our OpenCollective
+page. OpenCollective is a service which allows people to donate
+to open source groups. We've defined a number of giving tiers for donations, within a very wide
+range, and welcome any financial amount with gratitude! Based on the donation tier, sponsorship
+comes with a variety of benefits, including recognition at different places in the Appium repo,
+docs, and website. In addition to financial sponsorship, the project has decided to recognize
+significant donations of project leadership and maintenance efforts from companies who have
+invested heavily into Appium with their employees' time (we call these "Development Partners").
+
+What will the project do with the funds raised through this sponsorship program? We aim to give it
+all back to the Appium community! With the details again available at our [Governance document](https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md),
+we have implemented a scheme very much inspired by our friends at [WebdriverIO](https://webdriver.io/blog/2024/02/15/new-contributor-stipend-program) (thanks WDIO
+friends!) There are three groups of contributors to Appium that this scheme supports: (1) project
+maintainers (those who devote consistent time to leading the project), (2) project contributors
+(anyone in the wider community that contributes code or documentation), and (3) upstream projects
+(other open source projects Appium relies heavily on to work well). Each month, the funds raised
+via sponsorship will be distributed in different amounts to each of these groups. So if you
+make a valuable contribution to Appium moving forward, you'll be eligible to get some cash as
+a thank-you! (You'll need to have your own OpenCollective account in good standing to receive
+funds).
+
+We're very excited about this new program, and hope that it helps existing and new contributors to
+feel even better about donating their time to making Appium better. And of course, none of this
+would be possible without the amazing Partners and Sponsors we hope to attract! On that note, stay
+tuned over the next few weeks as we unveil some of our initial program launch Partners! And if you
+or your company would like to participate by supporting Appium financially, you are most welcome.
+Just head over to our OpenCollective page and choose the tier that reflects your desired
+contribution level.

+# 🚀 Appium 3
+
+Appium 3 is here — and while it's not as massive a leap as Appium 2, it introduces a few essential
+breaking changes that developers and QA engineers should be aware of.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+The main idea behind Appium 3 is to clear out old cruft so that Appium can be leaner moving
+forward, and rely on newer versions of software with better performance and security
+characteristics. We're also getting rid of legacy behaviors and protocols that we deprecated as
+part of Appium 2.
+
+For you as a user, there's not much to worry about. The breaking changes are minimal:
+
+- Node.js / NPM minimum version bump (to 20.19 / 10)
+- Removal of certain deprecated endpoints
+- Security feature flag prefix requirements (e.g. `adb_shell` to `uiautomator2:adb_shell`)
+
+In terms of new features, we've been adding them incrementally rather than saving them up for
+Appium 3. But with this release we are excited to share these new capabilities:
+
+- `appium plugin install inspector` (Use Appium to host the Inspector rather than downloading it as a separate app)
+- Clients can set the `X-Appium-Is-Sensitive` HTTP header on requests to direct the server to mask the data in the request in the logs, so that when you send a password into an input box, the password's actual value is not logged in plaintext. ([Learn more](../../developing/sensitive.md))
+
+Of course, we have a full [Appium 3 migration guide](../../guides/migrating-2-to-3.md) to make sure
+you know all the details and can deeply understand the consequences of upgrading to Appium 3 in
+your environment.
+
+---
+
+**Ready to make the leap?** Appium 3 is a great step forward in creating more secure, maintainable,
+and W3C-compliant test automation pipelines. Happy testing!

+## Contribute Code
+
+We are always open to pull requests for improving the Appium code or documentation!
+
+!!! info
+
+    Developer information may not be kept up to date as frequently as user-facing information, or
+    it may be most relevant in its current form on the online repository, not in this published
+    version. Make sure to check the repo or discuss with maintainers. We would be glad to help
+    new contributors get started!
+
+Start by cloning the repository (we recommend [forking](https://github.com/appium/appium/fork)
+it first):
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/appium/appium.git
+cd appium
+```
+
+!!! info
+
+    If you are VS Code user, you can easily check out the project using [Runme](https://runme.dev/api/runme?repository=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fappium%2Fappium.git&fileToOpen=packages%2Fappium%2Fdocs%2Fen%2Fcontributing%2Findex.md).
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```sh
+npm install
+```
+
+From here on there are several things you can do.
+
+Build the project:
+
+```sh
+npm run build
+```
+
+Build the project and watch for changes:
+
+```sh
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Start the locally built Appium server:
+
+```sh
+npm start
+```
+
+Run various tests:
+
+```sh
+npm run lint
+npm run test:unit
+npm run test:types
+npm run test:smoke
+npm run test:e2e
+npm run test:quick # unit and types
+npm run test:slow # everything
+```
+
+You can also run tests for specific workspaces, e.g.:
+
+```sh
+export APPIUM_WORKSPACE=@appium/base-driver
+npm run test:unit -w $APPIUM_WORKSPACE
+```
+
+### Documentation
+
+The documentation for this project is [available in the project repository itself](https://github.com/appium/appium/tree/master/packages/appium/docs).
+It is contained in Markdown files, which are built by our documentation system in the
+`@appium/docutils` module. This module is based on [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) and therefore
+requires [Python](https://www.python.org/) to be installed on your system.
+
+Install Python dependencies:
+
+```sh
+npm run install-docs-deps
+```
+
+After making your changes, you can run the documentation server in dev mode:
+
+```sh
+npm run dev:docs
+```
+
+You can then view the documentation at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs/en`.
+
+## Translating Appium Documentation
+
+The process of Appium documents localization into languages other than English is automated and is done via
+the [Crowdin Translations Management System](https://crowdin.com). Do not edit any translated documents
+directly in the GitHub Appium repository as they are going to be replaced with ones exported from Crowdin
+during an upcoming sync.
+
+### Where To Start
+
+If you would like to contribute to the translation of Appium documents into your language then simply join
+the translators group for the [Appium Documentation](https://crowdin.com/project/appium-documentation)
+Crowdin project, and start translating documents there. If you see that your language is missing from
+the list of available Crowdin languages then simply let us know by creating an
+[issue](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues).
+
+### Source Language Updates
+
+Changes in documents are synchronized to Crowdin automatically via the `Update Crowdin English Docs` GitHub action.
+This action is triggered automatically as soon as there are any changes under `packages/appium/docs/en/**.md`
+or `packages/appium/docs/mkdocs-en.yml`.
+
+### Fetching Translated Documents
+
+In order to fetch translated files from Crowdin to the GitHub repository it is necessary to trigger
+the `Sync Crowdin Docs Translations` action. This action should also automatically create a PR with
+corresponding translated resources included.
