Release 24.2 (February 2025)

• Feature: WindowsAutomation: "Mouse Wheel Simulation" support
• Feature: support for "Any" and template typed parameters in testcase (of testplan)
• Feature: negated condition variable check
• Feature: edit lock when loading a suite from AIDYMO
• Feature: menu entries to save attachments to disk
• Feature: support for an external XML editor in Settings->External Tools and Attachment
• Feature: flat vs. hierarchical imported menu actions
• Feature: The Mobile Testing Plugin has been migrated to use Appium 2, while Appium 1 is still supported. There is a new version of the Mobile Testing Supplement with Appium 2.
• Fix/Feature: severity level limit is passed on in sub-test plans with the option of tightening the severity level per test plan level
• Fix: Project Difference Viewer showed wrong tab for steps inside the test/demo diagram
• Fix: exchange connection function of diagram editor left an invisible connection at the pin. Lead to wrong output value forwarding during the current session, but cured itself when saving and reloading.
• Fix: inconsistent behavior of the Smalltalk "angle" message fixed; now returns degrees from both Complex and Point instances. To get radians, use the "theta" message. This change only affects any elementary action which calls that method.
• Improvement: function and operation of variable pins (Scheme_Editor/Variable_Number_of_Pins)
• Improvement: change modification date of the project when shrinkwrapping an imported library
• Improvement: less memory allocation during ELF generation
• Improvement: more info in tooltips in browser's "Errors", "Style" and "Special" tabs
• Improvement: stability of websocket connections to AIDYMO/web
• Improvement: Datatypes: Differently named user types on the same primary type or Any can now be defined and stored in a project, but possibly loosing information when loading in older expecco versions. Reimporting a changed datatype definition doesn't rely the name primarily.

Release 24.1 (2Q 2024)

• Feature: Static Variables for Python
• Feature: Qt-Testing: Logging with log levels DEBUG, INFO and WARN (Qt-Logging)
• Feature: Qt-Testing: Qt-Connections now use the ConnectionManager like the other Gui test technologies
• Feature: WindowsAutomation: Native Touch, Tap, Drag & Drop support now in the base WindowsAutomation Library
• Feature: Show Log and Timeline view for testplans
• Feature: Search and Goto Line menu functions in the activity log view
• Feature: C-Bridge now supports SSL connections (encryption and authentication using certificates)
• Feature: Settings for execution (thread pool and log activities/pins/info) can now be saved in the test suite settings
• Feature: CSV test report, values for start time, end time and duration added
• Feature: Improved refactoring for compound blocks: "Extract (& Replace) New Compound Action"
• Feature: Enhanced expecco reflection library
• Feature: Logprocessors can be executed for embedded testplans
• Feature: Logging of background actions can be individually enabled and disabled for testplans and nested testplans
• Feature: Support for script actions written in the Julia programming language
• Feature: Powershell actions: support functions for writing to pins, logging, opening dialogs, etc.
• Fix: Current temporary testplan settings (like selected testcases, do-not-execute of pre/post action, etc.) don't get lost anymore when reimporting a library
• Fix: WindowsAutomation: Fix blocking of applications after <Mouse Button Down>
• Fix: asynchronous write to an output pin with no wait() in bridged actions are now detected and reported as error (see Example3 in the NodeJS API Documentation)
• Fix: Bridges: Detect (and ignore) invalid requests from forked background bridge threads
• Fix: Acitivity logs of asynchronous events in background actions are now displayed correctly in the background activity log.
• Fix: Qt: Drag and drop improved by revising the "Move mouse event" (Windows)
• Fix: Disabling logs of sub-activities (if successful, if not successful, etc.)
