Sahi Pro Flowcharts is a new module introduced in Sahi Pro 11. Sahi Pro Flowcharts is a no-code, visual way of representing and automating test flows. Sahi Pro Flowcharts is for anybody in a tester role who wants to automate repetitive checks for faster releases. You could be a Manual Tester, Exploratory Tester, Automation Engineer, Business Analyst, Delivery Manager or anyone in a testing role.
Refer Introduction to Sahi Pro Flowcharts for details.

Improvements

Unveiled a next-generation dashboard interface, delivering a powerful user experience.
Sahi sets a third-party cookie to maintain browser session. This is necessary for browser automation. However, browsers may not allow third party cookies in the future. Thus, a new provision is added to address this. If your browser blocks third party cookies, add property sahi.browser.session.by_useragent.enabled=true in userdata.properties.
Javascript's Fetch API is now handled in Web automation. During playback, Sahi will now automatically wait for the fetch requests in your application to be processed.
Now, while identifying elements from Sahi Pro Controller, the identified elements will be highlighted on the application screen.
You can pass the encrypted password in APIs RESTRequest.setCredentials and RESTRequest.setAuthCredentials. Added isEncrypted argument to these APIs.
If configured, Sahi automatically regenerates Kerberos ticket on every start. However, to regenerate the ticket periodically without restarting Sahi, add the property java.kinit.delay_between_regeneration in userdata.properties. This property allows users to specify the number of hours between automatic Kerberos ticket regeneration, eliminating the need for Sahi restarts. Refer here for details.
A performance improvement has been added to reduce the time it takes to open and view large reports for suites and scripts.
Sahi Pro and Sahi Pro Runner will create a desktop shortcut on Mac.

Bug Fixes

API _scriptStatus returning success status when _fail is called from scenario (directly or from inside a keyword function).
Fixes in Reports:

Suite report does not show hours in Time Taken.
Error count not available on comparison suite.
Added a provision. Now, in the report, any ERROR status should be considered and logged as FAILURE if this property reports.log_error_as_failure is enabled.

Fixed: Not able to identify the elements on a Iframe for a specific page.
Fixed: A specific page becomes unresponsive during execution.
Introduced a property scenario.external_data.null_as_object. It can be used to consider value as null if specified in an external data file. Earlier it was considered as string 'null'.
Fixed: In Editor, a scenario was failing for a empty commented line in testcase.
In .xlsx file if the [documentation] cell is replaced with an empty cell. From controller, it does not execute.
In an external data file, define a variable (ex: $username) as data and assign value to this variable from .sah script. When the test is executed $username will be evaluated to the assigned value. Property scenario.external_data.allow_variable can be used to change behaviour.
Property system.prevent_standby.keycode can be used to change key for Sahi's 'Prevent standby' feature. The default key is F15.
To prevent interference from the application's XHR wrapping, Sahi now uses the original browser's XHR to open and send.
Upgraded openssl.exe for Windows OS from version 0.9.8 to version 1.1.1w.
