What is new in Sahi Pro v5.1.1

abstract Sahi Pro 5.1.1 is a significant bugfix release.

Features

Added donot_download_urls.txt in userdata/config.. download_contenttypes.txt and download_urls.txt specify which files should be be downloaded using contenttype or url pattern. Sometimes all urls of a particular content type need to be downloaded, EXCEPT some matching a particular URL pattern. These exception URLs can be specified in donot_download_urls.txt.
Working with Sahi APIs made easier through Controller.
- Select an API from APIs List: textbox and press Enter key to copy it to the Evaluate expression box.
- Element Accessors can be inserted at a specific cursor position or cursor selection in the expression inside the Evaluate expression box, through the Accessor Copier.
Added more support for REST APIs.
- Added API RESTRequest.setCredentials to handle pages that require Authentication (401 response code).
- Added API RESTRequest.setBody to set the body of the request with a complete set of key-value pairs.
Added APIs _frame, _startLookInside, _stopLookInside.
_wait now accepts a function as the condition argument. Sahi will wait for either the entire timeout or till the specified function returns true.
Added ability to configure substitutions.xml, content_detection.txt, email_template.txt, response_headers_remove.txt, urlhistory.txt, donot_download_urls.txt and user_extension.js through Configure link on Dashboard.
Changes to configuration files (through Configure link on Dashboard) excluding browser_types.xml and userdata.properties do not need a restart of SahiPro. Refresh the application page for changes to take effect.
Added argument ignoreEmptyRows in _readCSVFile API, to ignore blank rows in the csv file.
Added Find functionality in Sahi Script Editor. Earlier, unless the script had been scrolled once, text could not be found successfully on the page.
Applet docs updated.
Renamed mail.subject to mail.subject.prefix and mail.content to mail.content.prefix in email.properties. These values can be left blank.
Updated documentation for sending email through Sahi.
Sahi favicon changed on the Controller.
PhantomJS icon will be displayed on the Dashboard if phantomjs.exe is present in <SAHI_INSTALL_FOLDER>/ext/phantomjs. The configuration need not be explicitly added to browser_types.xml.
Changes to expand Links automatically in the Docs tree on search.

Fixed Element identification problems in Flex.
Fixed under API in Sahi Java driver to handle limit parameter.
Fixed bug causing textarea (input type = "textarea") not to be identified.
Fixed bug in _fieldset. _fieldset API would previously throw an exception if not present on the page. Thus one could not do _exists(_fieldset("xyz")) or _isVisible(_fieldset("xyz")).

_readCSVFile can now read the contents of a file specified through a URL.
Fixed bug in Sahi code injection to honour X-UA-Compatible meta tag on IE10.

Fixed logs generated on using _fail API. _fail API when used in a script, would get logged thrice.
_typeKeyCodeNative fixed to handle special characters (like '$', "@', etc).
_writeCSVFile API fixed in case of file overwrite. Previously, an additional blank line was being added as the first line of the csv file in the case of 'overwrite'.
On Mac, .sh files (start_dashboard.sh, testrunner.sh etc) are now automatically executable.
If a script is run from TestNG/JUnit on IE browser, and the proxy settings of the browser were to be reset externally (through a ProxySettings monitor, say), Sahi would not kill the browser and execution would hang. Now Sahi will throw an exception after 150 seconds and the browser will close.
Fixed broken upload functionality through XmlHttpRequest.
Fixed bug to filter columns Run, Passed, Failed correctly on the main Reports page when Show Testcase Summary is pressed.
Fixed broken Doc Viewer functionality in Script Editor on Linux.
