Key Modifications
warningRead this section, before upgrading to Sahi Pro v7.0.0
Expansion of platform to support non web technologies
Sahi Pro v7.0.0 is major rewrite of Sahi Pro. It was required to allow support for technologies other than web. Sahi Pro Desktop Add-on has been introduced which supports Windows and Java technologies.danger
Backward incompatible changes:
- Java language driver: Sahi Pro's java language driver had been lagging behind Sahi script in implementation of APIs. We have now completely rewritten the Java driver such that new APIs are autogenerated and does not need maintenance. This has forced some deviations from the current Java driver. Please read Sahi Pro v7.0.0 Java Driver changes before upgrading.
- Removal of Ruby driver: Due to very low demand for Ruby driver, we have removed support for Ruby driver. If you are a customer using the Ruby driver, please email us at support @ sahipro.com to discuss possible recourse.
- Removal of older Java applet support. Sahi Pro v7.0.0 no longer supports the older (
_applet()) way of interaction with applets. Sahi Pro v7.0.0 Desktop Add-on adds support for Java Applets, Java Desktop and Java Web Start Applications
