* `has_button?`, `has_checked_field?` and `has_unchecked_field?` accept
options, like other matchers. [Carol Nichols]
* The `assert_selector` and `has_text?` methods now support the `:wait` option
[Vasiliy Ermolovich]
* RackTest's visible? method now checks for the HTML5 `hidden` attribute.
* Results from `#all` now delegate the `sample` method. [Phil Lee]
* The `set` method now works for contenteditable attributes under Selenium.
[Jon Rowe]
* radio buttons and check boxes can be filtered by option value, useful when
selecting by name [Jonas Nicklas]
* feature blocks can be nested within other feature blocks in RSpec tests
[Travis Gaff]
### Fixed
* Fixed race conditions causing stale element errors when filtering by text.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* Resetting the page is now synchronous and navigates to an empty HTML file,
instead of `about:blank`, fixing hanging issues in JRuby. [Jonas Nicklas]
* Fixed cookies not being set when path is blank under RackTest [Thomas Walpole]
* Clearing fields now correctly causes change events [Jonas Nicklas]
* Navigating to an absolute URI without trailing slash now works as expected
under RackTest [Jonas Nicklas]
* Checkboxes without assigned value default to `on` under RackTest [Nigel Sheridan-Smith]
* Clicks on buttons with no form associated with them are ignored in RackTest
instead of raising an obscure exception. [Thomas Walpole]
* execute_script is now a session method [Andrey Botalov]
* Nesting `within_window` and `within_frame` inside `within` resets the scope
so that they behave like a user would expect [Thomas Walpole]
* Improve handling of newlines in textareas [Thomas Walpole]
* `Capybara::Result` delegates its inspect method, so as not to confuse users
[Sam Rawlins]
* save_page always returns a full path, fixes problems with Launchy [Jonas Nicklas]
* Selenium driver's `quit` method does nothing when browser hasn't been loaded
[randoum]
* Capybara's WEBRick server now propertly respects the server_host option
[Dmitry Vorotilin]
* gemspec now includes license information [Jonas Nicklas]
# Version 2.1.0
Release date: 2013-04-09
### Changed
* Hard version requirement on Ruby >= 1.9.3. Capybara will no longer install
on 1.8.7. [Felix Schäfer]
* Capybara no longer depends on the `selenium-webdriver` gem. Add it to
your Gemfile if you wish to use the Selenium driver. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements` defaults to `true`. [Jonas Nicklas]
* In case of multiple matches `smart` matching is used by default. Set
`Capybara.match = :one` to revert to old behaviour. [Jonas Nicklas].
* Options in select boxes use smart matching and no longer need to match
exactly. Set `Capybara.exact_options = false` to revert to old behaviour.
[Jonas Nicklas].
* Visibility of text depends on `Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements` instead of
always returning only visible text. Set `Capybara.visible_text_only = true`
to revert to old behaviour. [Jonas Nicklas]
* Cucumber cleans up session after scenario instead. This is consistent with
RSpec and makes more sense, since we raise server errors in `reset!`.
[Jonas Nicklas]
### Added
* All actions (`click_link`, `fill_in`, etc...) and finders now take an options
hash, which is passed through to `find`. [Jonas Nicklas]
* CSS selectors are sent straight through to driver instead of being converted
to XPath first. Enables the use of some pseudo selectors, such as `invalid`
in some drivers. [Thomas Walpole]
* `Capybara.asset_host` option, which inserts a `base` tag into the page on
`save_and_open_page`, eases debugging with the Rails asset pipeline.
[Steve Hull]
* `exact` option, can specify whether to match substrings or entire text.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `match` option, can specify behaviour in case of multiple matches.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `wait` option, can specify how long to wait for a given action/finder.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* Config option which disables bubbling of errors raised inside server.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `text` now takes a parameter which makes it possible to return either all
text or only visible text. The default depends on
`Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements`. `Capybara.visible_text_only` option is
available for compatibility. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `has_content?` and `has_text?` now take the same count options as `has_selector?`
[Andrey Botalov]
* `current_scope` is now public API, returns the current element when `within`
is used. [Martijn Walraven]
* `find("input").disabled?` returns true if a node is disabled. [Ben Lovell]
* Find disabled fields and buttons with `:disabled => false`. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `find("input").hover` moves the mouse to the element in supported drivers.
[Thomas Walpole]
* RackTest driver now support `form` attribute on form elements.
[Thomas Walpole]
* `page.title` returns the page title. [Terry Progetto]
* `has_title?` matcher to assert on page title. [Jonas Nicklas]
* The gem is now signed with a certicficate. The public key is available in the
repo. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `:select` and `:textarea` are valid options for the `:type` filter on `find_field`
and `has_field?`. [Yann Plancqueel]
### Fixed
* Fixed race conditions when synchronizing across multiple nodes [Jonas Nicklas]
* Fixed race conditions in deeply nested selectors [Jonas Nicklas]
* Fix issue with `within_frame`, where selecting multiple nested frames didn't
work as intended. [Thomas Walpole]
* RackTest no longer fills in readonly textareas. [Thomas Walpole]
* Don't use autoload to load files, require them directly instead. [Jonas Nicklas]
* Rescue weird exceptions when booting server [John Wilger]
* Non strings are now properly cast when using the maxlength attribute [Jonas Nicklas]
# Version 2.0.3
Release date: 2013-03-26
* Check against Rails version fixed to work with Rails' master branch now returning
a Gem::Version [Jonas Nicklas]
* Use posix character class for whitespace replace, solves various encoding
problems on Ruby 2.0.0 and JRuby. [Ben Cates]
# Version 2.0.2
Release date: 2012-12-31
### Changed
* Capybara no longer uses thin as a server if it is available, due to thread
safety issues. Now Capybara always defaults to WEBrick. [Jonas Nicklas]
### Fixed
* Suppress several warnings [Kouhei Sutou]
* Fix default host becoming nil [Brian Cardarella]
* Fix regression in 2.0.1 which caused node comparisons with non node objects
to throw an exception [Kouhei Sotou]
* A few changes to the specs, only relevant to driver authors [Jonas Nicklas]
* Encoding error under JRuby [Piotr Krawiec]
* Ruby 2 encoding fix [Murahashi Sanemat Kenichi]
* Catch correct exception on server timeout [Jonathan del Strother]
# Version 2.0.1
Release date: 2012-12-21
### Changed
* Move the RackTest driver override with the `:respect_data_method` option
enabled from capybara/rspec to capybara/rails, so that it is enabled in
Rails projects that don't use RSpec. [Carlos Antonio da Silva]
* `source` is now an alias for `html`. RackTest no longer returns modifications
to `html`. This basically codifies the behaviour which we've had for a while
anyway, and should have minimal impact for end users. For driver authors, it
means that they only have to implement `html`, and not `source`. [Jonas
Nicklas]
### Fixed
* Visiting relative URLs when `app_host` is set and no server is running works
as expected. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `fill_in` works properly under Selenium again when the caret is not at the
end of the field before the method is called. [Douwe Maan, Jonas Nicklas, Jari
Bakken]
* `attach_file` can once again be given a Pathname [Jake Goulding]
# Version 2.0.0
Release date: 2012-11-05
### Changed
* Dropped official support for Ruby 1.8.x. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `respect_data_method` default to `false` for the RackTest driver in non-rails
applications. That means that Capybara no longer picks up `data-method="post"`
et. al. from links by default when you haven't required capybara/rails
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `find` now raises an error if more than one element was found. Since `find` is
used by most actions, like `click_link` under the surface, this means that all
actions need to unambiguous in the future. [Jonas Nicklas]
* All methods which find or manipulate fields or buttons now ignore them when
they are disabled. [Jonas Nicklas]
* Can no longer find elements by id via `find(:foo)`, use `find("#foo")` or
`find_by_id("foo")` instead. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `Element#text` on RackTest now only returns visible text and normalizes
(strips) whitespace, as with Selenium [Mark Dodwell, Jo Liss]
* `has_content?` now checks the text value returned by `Element#text`, as opposed to
querying the DOM. Which means it does not match hidden text.
[Ryan Montgomery, Mark Dodwell, Jo Liss]
* #394: `#body` now returns the unmodified source (like `#source`), not the current
state of the DOM (like `#html`), by popular request [Jonas Nicklas]
* `Node#all` no longer returns an array, but rather an enumerable `Capybara::Result`
[Jonas Nicklas]
* The arguments to `select` and `unselect` needs to be the exact text of an option
in a select box, substrings are no longer allowed [Jonas Nicklas]
* The `options` option to `has_select?` must match the exact set of options. Use
`with_options` for the old behaviour. [Gonzalo Rodriguez]
* The `selected` option to `has_select?` must match all selected options for multiple
selects. [Gonzalo Rodriguez]
* Various internals for running driver specs, this should only affect driver authors
[Jonas Nicklas]
* Rename `Driver#body` to `Driver#html` (relevant only for driver authors) [Jo
Liss]
### Removed
* No longer possible to specify `failure_message` for custom selectors. [Jonas Nicklas]
* #589: `Capybara.server_boot_timeout` has been removed in favor of a higher
(60-second) hard-coded timeout [Jo Liss]
* `Capybara.prefer_visible_elements` has been removed, as it is no longer needed
with the changed find semantics [Jonas Nicklas]
* `Node#wait_until` and `Session#wait_until` have been removed. See `Node#synchronize`
for an alternative [Jonas Nicklas]
* `Capybara.timeout` has been removed [Jonas Nicklas]
* The `:resynchronize` option has been removed from the Selenium driver [Jonas Nicklas]
* The `rows` option to `has_table?` has been removed without replacement.
[Jonas Nicklas]
### Added
* Much improved error message [Jonas Nicklas]
* Errors from inside the session for apps running in a server are raised when
session is reset [James Tucker, Jonas Nicklas]
* A ton of new selectors built in out of the box, like `field`, `link`, `button`,
etc... [Adam McCrea, Jonas Nicklas]
* `has_text?` has been added as an alias for `has_content?` [Jonas Nicklas]
* Add `Capybara.server_host` option (default: 127.0.0.1) [David Balatero]
* Add `:type` option for `page.has_field?` [Gonzalo Rodríguez]
* Custom matchers can now be specified in CSS in addition to XPath [Jonas Nicklas]
* `Node#synchronize` method to rerun a block of code if certain errors are raised
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `Capybara.always_include_port` config option always includes the server port in
URLs when using `visit`. Facilitates testing different domain names. [Douwe Maan]
* Redirect limit for RackTest driver is configurable [Josh Lane]
* Server port can be manually specified during initialization of server.
[Jonas Nicklas, John Wilger]
* `has_content?` and `has_text?` can be given a regular expression [Vasiliy Ermolovich]
* Multiple files can be uploaded with `attach_file` [Jarl Friis]
### Fixed
* Nodes found via `all` are no longer reloaded. This fixes weird quirks where
nodes would seemingly randomly replace themselves with other nodes [Jonas Nicklas]
* Session is only reset if it has been modified, dramatically improves performance if
only part of the test suite runs Capybara. [Jonas Nicklas]
* Test suite now passes on Ruby 1.8 [Jo Liss]
* #565: `require 'capybara/dsl'` is no longer necessary [Jo Liss]
* `Rack::Test` now respects ports when changing hosts [Jo Liss]
* #603: `Rack::Test` now preserves the original referer URL when following a
redirect [Rob van Dijk]
* Rack::Test now does not send a referer when calling `visit` multiple times
[Jo Liss]
* Exceptions during server boot now propagate to main thread [James Tucker]
* RSpec integration now cleans up before the test instead of after [Darwin]
* If `respect_data_method` is true, the data-method attribute can be capitalized
[Marco Antonio]
* Rack app boot timing out raises an error as opposed to just logging to STDOUT
[Adrian Irving-Beer]
* `#source` returns an empty string instead of nil if no pages have been visited
[Jonas Nicklas]
* Ignore first leading newline in textareas in RackTest [Vitalii Khustochka]
* `within_frame` returns the value of the given block [Alistair Hutchison]
* Running `Node.set` on text fields will not trigger more than one change event
[Andrew Kasper]
* Throw an error when an option is given to a finder method, like `all` or
`has_selector?` which Capybara doesn't understand [Jonas Nicklas]
* Two references to the node now register as equal when comparing them with `==`
[Jonas Nicklas]
* `has_text` (`has_content`) now accepts non-string arguments, like numbers.
[Jo Liss]
* `has_text` and `text` now correctly normalize Unicode whitespace, such as
`&nbsp;`. [Jo Liss]
* RackTest allows protocol relative URLs [Jonas Nicklas]
* Arguments are cast to string where necessary, so that e.g. `click_link(:foo)` works
as expected. [Jonas Nicklas]
* `:count => 0` now works as expected [Jarl Friis]
* Fixed race conditions on negative assertions when removing nodes [Jonas Nicklas]
# Version 1.1.4
Release date: 2012-11-28
### Fixed
* Fix more race conditions on negative assertions. [Jonas Nicklas]
# Version 1.1.3
Release date: 2012-10-30
### Fixed:
* RackTest driver ignores leading newline in textareas, this is consistent with
the spec and how browsers behave. [Vitalii Khustochka]
* Nodes found via `all` and `first` are never reloaded. This fixes issues where
a node would sometimes magically turn into a completely different node.
[Jonas Nicklas]
* Fix race conditions on negative assertions. This fixes issues where removing
an element and asserting on its non existence could cause
StaleElementReferenceError and similar to be thrown. [Jonas Nicklas]
* Options are no longer lost when reloading elements. This fixes issues where
reloading an element would cause a non-matching element to be found, because
options to `find` were ignored. [Jonas Nicklas]
# Version 1.1.2
Release date: 2011-11-15
### Fixed
* #541: Make attach_file work with selenium-webdriver >=2.12 [Jonas Nicklas]

* For RSpec, :type => :request is now supported (and preferred over :acceptance) [Jo Liss]
* Selenium driver tried to wait for AJAX requests to finish before proceeding [Jonas Nicklas and Nicklas Ramhöj]
* Session no longer uses method missing, uses explicit delegates instead [Jonas Nicklas]
### Fixed
* The Rack::Test driver now respects maxlength on text fields [Guilherme Carvalho]
* Allow for more than one save_and_open_page call per second [Jo Liss]

* Server boot timeout is now configurable, via Capybara.server_boot_timeout [Adam Cigánek]
* Built in support for RSpec [Jonas Nicklas]

# Version 0.4.0.rc
Release date: 2010-10-12
### Changed
* within and find/locate now follow the XPath spec in that //foo finds all nodes in the document, instead of
only for the context node. See this post for details: http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-capybara/browse_thread/thread/b129067979df21b3
* within now executes within the first found instance of the selector, not in all of them
* find now waits for AJAX requests and raises an exception when the element is not found (same as locate used to do)
* The default selector is now CSS, not XPath
### Deprecated
* Session#click has been renamed click_link_or_button and the old click has been deprecated
* Node#node has been renamed native
* Node#locate is deprecated in favor of Node#find, which now behaves identically
* Session#drag is deprecated, please use Node#drag_to(other_node) instead
### Added

* It's now possible to call all session methods on nodes, like `find('#foo').fill_in(...)`
* Custom selectors can be added with Capybara::Selector.add
* The :id selector is added by default, use it lile `find(:id, 'foo')` or `find(:foo)`
* Added Node#has_selector? so any kind of selector can be queried.
* Added Capybara.configure for less wordy configuration
* Added within_window to switch between different windows (currently Selenium only)
* Capybara.server_port to provide a fixed port if wanted (defaults to automatic selection)
### Fixed
* CSS selectors with multiple selectors, such as "h1, h2" now work correctly
* Port is automatically assigned instead of guessing
* Strip encodings in rack-test, no more warnings!

* RackTest now supports complex field names, such as foo[bar][][baz]
# Version 0.3.9
Release date: 2010-07-03
### Added
* status_code which returns the HTTP status code of the last response (no Selenium!)
* Capybara.save_and_open_page to store tempfiles
* RackTest and Culerity drivers now clean up after themselves properly
### Fixed
* When no rack app is set and the app is called, a more descriptive error is raised
* select now works with optgroups
* Don't submit image buttons unless they were clicked under rack-test
* Support custom field types under Selenium
* Support input fields without a type, treat them as though they were text fields
* Redirect now throws an error after 5 redirects, as per RFC
* Selenium now properly raises an error when Node#trigger is called
* Node#value now returns the correct value for textareas under rack-test
# Version 0.3.8

* Selenium now correctly checks already checked checkboxes (same with uncheck)
* Timing issue which caused Selenium to hang under certain circumstances.
* Selenium now resolves attributes even if they are given as a Symbol
# Version 0.3.7
Release date: 2010-04-09
This is a drop in compatible maintainance release. It's mostly
important for driver authors.
### Added
* RackTest scans for data-method which rails3 uses to change the request method
### Fixed
* Don't hang when starting server on Windoze
### Changed
* The driver and session specs are now located inside lib! Driver authors can simply require them.
# Version 0.3.6
Release date: 2010-03-22
This is a maintainance release with minor bug fixes, should be
drop in compatible.
### Added
* It's now possible to load in external drivers
### Fixed
* has_content? ignores whitespace
* Trigger events when choosing radios and checking checkboxes under Selenium
* Make Capybara.app totally optional when running without server
* Changed fallback host so it matches the one set up by Rails' integration tests
# Version 0.3.5
Release date: 2010-02-26
This is a mostly backwards compatible release, it does break
the API in some minor places, which should hopefully not affect
too many users, please read the release notes carefully!
### Breaking
* Relative searching in a node (e.g. find('//p').all('//a')) will now follow XPath standard
this means that if you want to find descendant nodes only, you'll need to prefix a dot!
* `visit` now accepts fully qualified URLs for drivers that support it.
* Capybara will always try to run a rack server, unless you set Capybara.run_sever = false
### Changed
* thin is preferred over mongrel and webrick, since it is Ruby 1.9 compatible
* click_button and click will find <input type="button">, clicking them does nothing in RackTest
### Added
* Much improved error messages in a multitude of places
* More semantic page querying with has_link?, has_button?, etc...
* Option to ignore hidden elements when querying and interacting with the page
* Support for multiple selects
### Fixed
* find_by_id is no longer broken
* clicking links where the image's alt attribute contains the text is now possible
* within_fieldset and within_table work when the default selector is CSS
* boolean attributes work the same across drivers (return true/false)
