Hi all!

Robot Framework 3.0 is now officially released! It supports Python 3,
contains a new powerful listener interface that allows modifying
executed tests as well as execution results, and also start-up scripts
have been enhanced to allow running tests like `robot tests.robot` and
`python -m robot tests.robot`. See the full release notes [1] for more
information about new features, bug fixes, backwards incompatible
changes and deprecated features.

As usual, pip users can simply run `pip install --upgrade
robotframework` to install or upgrade to this release. If the target
machine doesn't have a network connection, you can download the source
distribution from PyPI and install it like `pip install --upgrade
robotframework-3.0.tar.gz`. If you don't have pip, you can extract the
source distribution and install it using command `python setup.py
install`.

The standalone JAR distribution will be uploaded to Maven central a
little later today. Separate Windows installers will not be created
anymore [3]. Windows users are recommended to use pip that is bundled
with Python 2.7.9 and newer.

Today i finally updated to robot 3.0 :) What a great day that was... until It turned out, that after update all my tests stopped working :) Before update, everything was working fine...

I run my tests from console with:
...>pybot <file>.robot
I use python 2.7.10
I performed update using pip and there were no errors during the process.

Part of error log:
[ ERROR ] Error in file 'D:\Projects\Learning-robot\...\<file>.robot':
Importing test library 'D:\Projects\Learning-robot\...\<library>.py' failed: ImportError: cannot import name init_global_variabl
es
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Projects\Learning-robot\hotel-my-test\...\<library>.py", line 1, in <module>

Nevermind... My fault... I updated robot and selenium but forgot about pageobjects. After updating pageobjects everything works fine!
