Robot Framework 7.4 release candidate is out!

[Pekka Klärck]

Hi all,

Robot Framework 7.4 is a new feature release with support for secret
variables, typed standard library keywords, enhancements to working
with bytes and various other features and fixes. This first, and
hopefully also the last, release candidate contains all planned code
changes. For more details about everything that's new, enhanced or
fixed, see the release notes:
https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/doc/releasenotes/rf-7.4rc1.rst

We hope that as many users as possible could test this release
candidate in their environments. This helps to ensure that new
features work as expected and that there are no regressions. We'll
make sure to fix all reported bugs before the final release that's
planned for Wednesday December 10, 2025.

Big thanks to Robot Framework Foundation for their continued support,
to all contributors, and to everyone else who has tested preview
releases, submitted bug reports, proposed enhancements, debugged
problems, or otherwise helped with Robot Framework 7.4 development.

Cheers,
.peke
