Version 6.0.1

General

• Fixed a bug in the setup program which caused reading/writing the license key to fail if it's stored in paths involving non-English characters.

• Fixed a problem that prevented errors during the loading of the script languages from being included in the squishrunner output.
• Fixed a problem in the setup program which caused it to terminate abnormally if Google Chrome was not installed.
• Fix a problem in the XML3 generator when adding XML content to the test results.

Squish IDE-specific

• Fixed a problem that broke various features in the .feature file editor when the feature file is in a path that contains non-english characters.
• Fixed a problem that caused sluggish behavior in the user interface when pressing the Ctrl key (for example as part of a Ctrl+C to copy text).
• Included the openmode argument in the completion of the File File.open(fileName) function in the JavaScript editor.
• Added Open/Open With entries to the context menu of files in the Test Suites and Global Scripts views to allow easier opening of these with external editors.

• Fixed a problem when an application unexpectedly exits while picking an object.
• Fixed a problem that prevented installing the Squish Eclipse Integration into Eclipse 3.7.
• Fixed a problem with context menu entries in the Test Suites view on CentOS
• Fixed a problem that caused the editor to scroll to the top of the file after doing a snippet recording.
• The Application Objects view no longer shows application contexts of terminated applications.
• Fix a problem with finding step implementations for BDD steps when the step text contains non-ascii characters and JavaScript is being used as scripting language

Scripting

• Fixed various issues related to non-English characters in .feature files of BDD tests using using Perl, JavaScript or Ruby.
• Respect the testSettings.throwOnFailure setting when executing Boolean test.exception(code) in Python.
• Fixed logging verification results when testSettings.throwOnFailure is enabled.
• Fixed JavaScript execution of finally clause when a runtime error occurred in catch().
• Fixed JavaScript garbage collection of "bound functions" created with Function.prototype.bind().
• Fixed a problem with disabling/removing breakpoints when the test execution is paused.
• Fixed Python DLL mixup with system installed Python on Windows, resulting in import errors for some modules.
• Fixed the line number reported for the main function in the backtrace reported by the JavaScript StackTrace test.stackTrace() function.
• Syntax errors reported for JavaScript-based BDD tests are now reported at the correct location.
• Fixed display of Perl magic variables during debugging.

Web-specific

• Introduced a signed Squish extension for Firefox so that Squish will work with Firefox 41 and newer versions.
• Improved setup documentation for testing browsers supported through the proxy approach.
• Improved usability of Browser page in the setup program.
• Improved recording of Web Applications using touch events in browsers on mobile devices.
• Avoid recording unecessary activateBrowserTab(tab) calls when recording on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
• Fixed a problem that caused no DOCUMENT object to appear in the Application Objects view when using browsers on mobile devices or otherwise supported through the proxy approach
• Fixed a problem that caused raiseWindow() to fail when hooking an already running instance of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
• Fixed a problem that prevented the browser on mobile devices to return to the startsquish page after finishing a test case execution.
• Removed the unsupported Mozilla entry from the list of browsers shown in the Squish IDE.
• Fixed a problem with the lookup of objects that referred a form but where not children of that form.
• Fixed problems with automating IE instances when disabling the Browser Tab support
• Introduced a close function for the BrowserTab object so tabs can be closed from the test scripts
• Disallow using startApplication with a URL to start webhook as this was never intended to work this way and just worked by accident
• Disallow combining the Browser Tab support with the older method for hooking additional browser windows as this combination makes no sense
• Fixed a problem where hooking into a page that redirects the original URL to some other place failed with Chrome and Firefox during the initial startup.

Qt-specific

• Added clickTab() recording for tabs inside a QTabWidget.
• Added support for Qt invokable methods returning a custom enum type.

Windows (native)-specific

• Executing two mouseClick(objectOrName) statements in a row will no longer trigger a double click.
• Fix a problem with hooking into browser controls embedded into native Windows applications causing the webhook context to disappear from the Application Objects view.

Mac-specific (Cocoa/Carbon edition)

Java-specific

• Fix a problem with hooking into browser controls embedded into SWT applications causing the webhook context to disappear from the Application Objects view.
