• For WebElement.getText() return the element's innerText which satisfies the Selenium spec

• Fix delay in creating driver instances on some systems
• Handle URL fragments on HTTP redirects (which caused some AJAX pages to not load)
• Note that the project readme now has instructions for setting up Java on Ubuntu 16.04/14.04 as well as running this driver on Selenium Grid and Selenium Server

jBrowserDriver

v0.12.0 Release Notes:

• Change default max processes to twice the number of available CPUs
• Use default RMI host of 127.0.0.1
• Throw NoSuchElementException when findElement(By) is null
• Integrate logging with Java Logger instead of sending messages directly to standard out/error
• Keep web page rendering from lagging behind screenshots and other actions
• Capture browser/Javascript console messages
• Prevent graphics platform from being re-initialized on JBrowserDriver.reset(..)
• Fix setting for limiting which ports Java RMI uses
• Update Selenium version to 2.53.0

Note this release deprecates some Settings. Warning messages will appear in standard error if you're using deprecated APIs, but everything will continue functioning until v2.0.0 when those deprecated APIs are removed. The warning messages will direct you to the appropriate replacement APIs, but please read the new documentation as there are changes to functionality (the APIs weren't merely renamed).

jBrowserDriver

v0.11.0 Release Notes:

• Fix HotSpot segfault when accessing stale DOM elements--throw exception instead
• Assume content-type of "text/html" if the header is missing
• Throw exception when interacting with a WebElement that's not visible
• Fix WebElement.isDisplayed to also account for "visibility:hidden"
• Bubble up most exceptions in WebElement APIs
• Throw timeout exception as needed
• Wrap RMI-related exceptions in a Selenium runtime exception
• Generally, more exceptions are thrown now and they are Selenium runtime exceptions--this may be a significant change for people using previous jBrowserDriver versions, but the behavior is more consistent with other Selenium drivers. All the exceptions should be of the type org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException or one of its subclasses.
