[0.19.0]

Added

• The methods WebDriverElement.is_visible() and WebDriverElement.is_not_visible() are now available as a replacement for WebDriver.is_element_not_visible_by_css and WebDriver.is_element_visible_by_css. See https://splinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/matchers.html#checking-the-visibility-of-elements for more information.

Changed

• When CookieManager.delete() is called with no arguments then all cookies are deleted. This behaviour has been deprecated. CookieManager.delete_all() should be used instead.
• The message for the error raised when a driver's class is not found has been improved.

Fixed

• FlaskDriver.attach_file() has been fixed.
• urllib3 is now always installed, regardless of driver used.

What's New in Splinter 0.18.1?

Changed:

• Set Firefox preferences through options instead of FirefoxProfile

Fixed:

• Use dedicated logger in browser.py to avoid clobbing other Python logging
• Removed required selenium import for error handling, making it possible to use splinter without installing selenium (as long as a selenium driver isn't used)

What's New in Splinter 0.18.0?

Added:

• WebDriverElement() now implements the shadow_root property. This returns a ShadowRootElement() object to interact with the shadow root of an element.
• Failed driver imports are logged at the debug level instead of silently ignored
• browser.html_snapshot() now takes the optional unique_file argument. Setting this to False will disable the addition of random characters to the filename.

Changed:

• repr(ElementList()) now returns the repr of the internal container.
• Driver.find_link_by_ methods have been removed. Use Driver.links.find_by_.
• Screenshot taken by WebDriverElement.screenshot() now implements Selenium's element screenshot instead of cropping a full page screenshot.
• Flask/Django's back/forward methods more accurately store browsing history
• Official Python 3.6 support has been removed
