Hi all,
Robot Framework 7.1 is a feature release with enhancements, for
example, to the listener interface and to the `VAR` syntax that was
introduced in Robot Framework 7.0. All enhancements and bug fixes are
listed in the release notes:
https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/doc/releasenotes/rf-7.1.rst
Probably the most visible change to normal users is that paths to
result files written to the console after execution are nowadays
hyperlinks on consoles that support them. That includes most commonly
used console applications, including Windows Terminal that is nowadays
used by default on Windows 11, but the old Windows Console is not
compatible.
Huge thanks to Robot Framework Foundation, to community members who
provided valuable contributions, and to everyone else who has tested
preview releases, submitted bug reports, proposed enhancements,
debugged problems, or otherwise helped with Robot Framework 7.1
development.
Now that Robot Framework 7.1 is out, we will start Robot Framework 7.2
development already next week. The planning has already started on the
#roadmap and #devel channels on our Slack, and the current list of
issues targeted for Robot Framework 7.2 can be found from the issue
tracker:
https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/milestone/73
Because we are going to continue with Robot Framework 7.2 pretty much
immediately, it is important that you test Robot Framework 7.1 in your
environment soon as well. After the small grace period we will
consider Robot Framework 7.1.x bug fix releases only if there are
critical regressions and other fixes need to wait for Robot Framework
7.2.
Cheers,
.peke
