Good news everyone!

I'm happy to announce that Watir-Classic 3.7.0 has been released!

Put it into your Gemfile:
  gem "watir-classic", "~> 3.7.0"

Or install it manually with:
  gem install watir-classic

Changes:
* Add #required? method for input elements.
* Improve the stability of drag and drop methods.

With Best Regards,
Jarmo Pertman

Hello,
what is the difference between watir-classic and watir-webdriver. When I do "gem list"  I only have  watir-webdriver, is it right?
Best Regards

Hi,

Watir-webdriver is a modern version of the Watir API based on Selenium (web driver)

watir-classic used to be watir gem. It runs only on Windows and drives only Internet Explorer. Watir webdriver works on all major operating systems and drives all major browsers.

If you do not need watir-classic, there is no need to install it.

As its name says - it is classic. Most of the Watir-WebDriver API is derived from that original gem and currently Watir-Classic and Watir-WebDriver have almost the same API. If you're not testing against IE or need to test against different browsers, then there's no need to use Watir-Classic.
