+# Change log
+
+All notable changes to this program are documented in this file.
+
+## 0.33.0 (2023-04-03, `a80e5fd61076`)
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_
+
+ When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
+ shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
+ This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
+ in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
+ [usage documentation].
+
+- _Potential hang with `moz:debuggerAddress` capability set to `true`:_
+
+ After enabling the site-isolation feature in Firefox with geckodriver 0.32.1
+ some WebDriver clients like Selenium that use the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)
+ by default for logging events could trigger a hang in Firefox's experimental CDP
+ implementation. The fix for this problem will be shipped with Firefox 112.
+ Until then the following Firefox preferences should be set:
+
+ - `fission.bfcacheInParent: false`
+ - `fission.webContentIsolationStrategy: 0`
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for [Get Computed Label] and [Get Computed Role]
+
+ The command [Get Computed Label] returns the accessibility label (sometimes
+ also referred to as Accessible Name), which is a short string that labels the
+ function of the control (e.g. the string "Comment" or "Sign In" on a button).
+
+ The command [Get Computed Role] returns the reserved token value (in ARIA,
+ button, heading, etc.) that describes the type of control or content in the
+ element.
+
+ Note that the minimum required Firefox version is 113.0.
+
+- Support for [Find Element From Shadow Root] and [Find Elements From Shadow Root]
+
+ The commands allow a lookup of individual elements or collections of elements
+ within an open or closed Shadow DOM. All location strategies except `Tag name` and
+ `XPath selector` are currently supported.
+
+ Note that the minimum required Firefox version is 113.0.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The Mozilla specific capability `moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin` has been
+ marked as deprecated. Its removal is planned for the Firefox 116.0 release.
+
+## 0.32.2 (2023-02-08, `602aa16c20d4`)
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_
+
+ When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
+ shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
+ This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
+ in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
+ [usage documentation].

+ Until then the following Firefox preferences should be set:
+
+ - `fission.bfcacheInParent: false`
+ - `fission.webContentIsolationStrategy: 0`
+
+### Fixed
+
+- With the release of geckodriver 0.32.1 the marionette crate was inappropriately
+ bumped to a semver incompatible version and caused `cargo install geckodriver`
+ to fail for older releases.
+
+## 0.32.1 (2023-02-02, `b7f075124503`)
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_
+

+ Until then the following Firefox preferences should be set:
+
+ - `fission.bfcacheInParent: false`
+ - `fission.webContentIsolationStrategy: 0`
+
+### Fixed
+
+- When using the boolean capability `moz:debuggerAddress` with a value of `true`
+ the site-isolation feature in Firefox will no longer accidentally be turned off.
+ This behavior affected all users of WebDriver clients especially Selenium, which
+ set this capability by default, and caused Firefox on desktop systems to be
+ launched in an unsupported mode.
+
+## 0.32.0 (2022-10-13, `4563dd583110`)
+
+### Added
+
+- Native aarch64 builds of geckodriver for Linux and Windows are now available.
+
+- Support `wheel` input source for [Actions], which is associated with a
+ wheel-type input device. This endpoint is supported by geckodriver when
+ using Firefox version ≥106.
+
+- Support `touch` as `pointerType` for `pointer` input source for [Actions],
+ which is associated with a touch input device. This also includes the
+ addition of all the remaining properties for `pointer` input sources as
+ specified by WebDriver. This endpoint is supported by geckodriver when using
+ Firefox version ≥104.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Using geckodriver to launch Firefox inside a sandbox -- for example
+ a Firefox distribution using Snap or Flatpak -- can fail with a
+ "Profile not found" error if the sandbox restricts Firefox's ability
+ to access the system temporary directory. geckodriver uses the
+ temporary directory to store Firefox profiles created during the run.
+
+ This issue can now be worked around by using the `--profile-root`
+ command line option or setting the `TMPDIR` environment variable to
+ a location that both Firefox and geckodriver have read/write access
+ to e.g.:
+
+ ```bash
+ % mkdir $HOME/tmp
+ % geckodriver --profile-root=~/tmp
+ ```
+
+ or
+
+ ```bash
+ % TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp geckodriver
+ ```
+
+ Alternatively, geckodriver may be used with a Firefox install that
+ is not packaged inside a sandbox e.g. from [mozilla.org].
+
+- The sandboxed Firefox binary is now automatically detected when geckodriver
+ is used from within a Snap confinement.
+
+ Implemented by [Olivier Tilloy].
+
+- On MacOS the geckodriver binary is now technically both signed and notarized.
+
+ Note: The actual validation can only be performed if the machine that starts
+ the geckodriver binary for the very first time is online. You can find more
+ details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS notarization] section
+ of the documentation.
+
+- The backup of the original Firefox preferences are now correctly restored
+ on Android when the WebDriver session ends.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Update dependencies
+
+## 0.31.0 (2022-04-11, `b617178ef491`)
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _Firefox running in Linux Sandbox (e.g. Snap package):_
+
+ Using geckodriver to launch Firefox inside a sandbox -- for example
+ a Firefox distribution using Snap or Flatpak -- can fail with a
+ "Profile not found" error if the sandbox restricts Firefox's ability
+ to access the system temporary directory. geckodriver uses the
+ temporary directory to store Firefox profiles created during the run.
+
+ As workaround geckodriver may be used with a Firefox install that
+ is not packaged inside a sandbox e.g. from [mozilla.org].
+
+- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_
+
+ Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
+ notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
+ download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.
+
+ Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
+ find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
+ notarization] section of the documentation.
+
+### Added
+
+- Users with the [Rust] toolchain installed can now build and install
+ geckodriver from [crates.io] using Cargo:
+
+ % cargo install geckodriver
+
+- Support for [Get Element Shadow Root]
+
+ Implemented by [David Burns].
+
+ The standardised WebDriver [Get Element Shadow Root] endpoint provides a way
+ to retrieve the Shadow Root of a given web element. This endpoint is
+ supported by geckodriver when using Firefox version ≥96.
+
+- Support for additional hosts and origins
+
+ Users can now specify a list of allowed `Host` and `Origin` headers for
+ incoming requests using the [`--allow-hosts`] and [`--allow-origins`] command
+ line options, respectively. When such a flag is provided, exactly the given
+ values will be permitted.
+
+ By default any request with an `Origin` header is rejected, and only requests
+ containing the bound hostname (specified via `--host`), or an IP address,
+ in the Host header are allowed. These configuration options are
+ designed to support scenarios where geckodriver is running on a different
+ network node to the host e.g. some container based setups.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Geckodriver lets Marionette itself select a system allocated port, so that
+ it's no longer required to specify a fixed port when using a custom Firefox
+ profile. This is done by reading the `MarionetteActivePort` file of the
+ Firefox profile in-use. This helps to avoid port collisions when multiple
+ Firefox instances are run in parallel.
+
+- It's no longer possible to specify both the `androidPackage` and `binary`
+ capabilities togther within [`moz:firefoxOptions`] because these capabilites
+ are mutually exclusive.
+
+## 0.30.0 (2021-09-16, `d372710b98a6`)
+
+### Security Fixes
+
+- CVE-2021-4138
+
+ Fixed a DNS rebinding issues by enforcing a stricter `Host` header check.
+
+ Reported by Gabriel Corona.
+
+ - Improved `Host` header checks to reject requests not sent to a well-known
+ local hostname or IP, or the server-specified hostname.
+
+### Known problems
+
+- geckodriver restricts connections to local IP addresses. This can interfere
+ with deployments in which geckodriver is running on a different network node
+ to the tests e.g. some container or virtual-machine based setups.
+
+- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_
+
+ Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
+ notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
+ download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.
+
+ Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
+ find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
+ notarization] section of the documentation.
+
+- _Android:_
+
+ For releases of Firefox 89.0 and earlier Marionette will only be enabled in
+ GeckoView based applications when the Firefox preference
+ `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via [`moz:firefoxOptions`].
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for WebDriver clients to opt in to WebDriver BiDi.
+
+ Introduced the new boolean capability [`webSocketUrl`] that can be used by
+ WebDriver clients to opt in to a bidirectional connection. A string capability
+ with the same name will be returned by [`NewSession`], which contains the
+ WebSocket URL of the newly created WebDriver session in the form of:
+ `ws://host:port/session/<session id>`.
+
+ When running on Android a port forward will be set on the host machine,
+ which is using the exact same port as on the device.
+
+ All the supported WebDriver BiDi commands depend on the version of
+ Firefox, and not geckodriver. The first commands will be shipped in
+ Firefox 94.
+
+- It's now possible to set additional preferences when a custom profile has been
+ specified. At the end of the session they will be removed.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Added validation that the `--host` argument resolves to a local IP address.
+
+- Limit the `--foreground` argument of Firefox to MacOS only.
+
+- Increased Marionette handshake timeout to not fail for slow connections.
+
+- `Marionette:Quit` is no longer sent twice during session deletion.
+
+- When deleting a session that was attached to an already running browser
+ instance, the browser is not getting closed anymore.
+
+- Android
+
+ - Starting Firefox on Android from a Windows based host will now succeed as
+ we are using the correct Unix path separator to construct on-device paths.
+
+ - Arguments as specified in [`moz:firefoxOptions`] are now used when starting
+ Firefox.
+
+ - Port forwards set for Marionette and the WebSocket server (WebDriver BiDi)
+ are now correctly removed when geckodriver exits.
+
+ - The test root folder is now removed when geckodriver exists.
+
+## 0.29.1 (2021-04-09, `970ef713fe58`)
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_
+
+ Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
+ notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
+ download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.
+
+ Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
+ find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
+ notarization] section of the documentation.
+
+- _Android:_
+
+ Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
+ Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in the Firefox 90 release for
+ Android.
+
+### Added
+
+- When testing GeckoView based applications on Android it's now enough to
+ specify the `androidPackage` capability. The appropriate activity name,
+ and required intent arguments will now automatically be used for
+ applications released by Mozilla.
+
+- Native AArch64 (M1) builds of geckodriver for MacOS are now available. These
+ are currently shipped as Tier2 due to missing test infrastructure. Please let
+ us know if you experience issues.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed a stack overflow crash in thread 'webdriver dispatcher' when
+ handling certain device errors.
+
+- Fixed an application crash due to missing permissions on unrooted devices
+ by changing the location of the test related files, e.g the profile folder.
+ Therefore the deprecated &#x2D;&#x2D;android-storage command line argument
+ now defaults to the `sdcard` option, which changed its location to
+ `$EXTERNAL_STORAGE/Android/data/%androidPackage%/files/`. With this change
+ proper support for unrooted devices running Android 10+ has been added.
+
+ _Note_: Do not use the &#x2D;&#x2D;android-storage command line argument
+ anymore unless there is a strong reason. It will be removed in a future
+ release.
+
+## 0.29.0 (2021-01-14, `cf6956a5ec8e`)
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_
+
+ Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
+ notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
+ download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.
+
+ Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
+ find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
+ notarization] section of the documentation.
+
+- _Android:_
+
+ Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
+ Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Firefox
+ for Android releases.
+
+ In some cases geckodriver could crash due to a stack overflow when handling
+ certain device errors.
+
+ On unrooted Android 10+ devices startup crashes of the application can be
+ experienced due to an inappropriate location of test related files, e.g the
+ profile folder.
+
+### Added
+
+- Introduced the new boolean capability [`moz:debuggerAddress`] that can be used
+ to opt-in to the experimental Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) implementation.
+ A string capability with the same name will be returned by [`NewSession`],
+ which contains the `host:port` combination of the HTTP server that can be
+ used to query for websockets of available targets.
+
+ Note: For this experimental feature the site-isolation support of
+ Firefox aka [Fission] will be not available.
+
+## 0.28.0 (2020-11-03, `c00d2b6acd3f`)
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_
+
+ Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
+ notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
+ download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.
+
+ Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
+ find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS

+
+ Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
+ Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Firefox
+ for Android releases.
+
+ In some cases geckodriver could crash due to a stack overflow when handling
+ certain device errors.
+
+ On unrooted Android 10+ devices startup crashes of the application can be
+ experienced due to an inappropriate location of test related files, e.g the
+ profile folder.
+
+### Added
+
+- The command line flag `--android-storage` has been added, to allow geckodriver
+ to also control Firefox on root-less Android devices.
+ See the [documentation][Flags] for available values.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Firefox can be started again via a shell script that is located outside of the
+ Firefox directory on Linux.
+
+- If Firefox cannot be started by geckodriver the real underlying error message is
+ now being reported.
+
+- Version numbers for minor and extended support releases of Firefox are now parsed correctly.
+
+### Removed
+
+- Since Firefox 72 extension commands for finding an element’s anonymous children
+ and querying its attributes are no longer needed, and have been removed.
+
+## 0.27.0 (2020-07-27, `7b8c4f32cdde`)
+
+### Security Fixes
+
+- CVE-2020-15660
+
+ Improved validation of incoming requests to prevent remote
+ requests being treated as local.
+
+ Reported by Gabriel Corona.
+
+ - Added additional checks on the `Content-Type` header for `POST`
+ requests to disallow `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`,
+ `multipart/form-data` and `text/plain`.
+
+ - Added checking of the `Origin` header for `POST` requests.
+
+ - The version number of Firefox is now checked when establishing a session.
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_
+
+ Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
+ notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
+ download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.
+
+ Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
+ find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
+ notarization] section of the documentation.
+
+- _Android:_
+
+ Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
+ Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Firefox
+ for Android releases.
+
+ In some cases geckodriver could crash due to a stack overflow when handling
+ certain device errors.
+
+### Added
+
+- To set environment variables for the launched Firefox for Android,
+ it is now possible to add an `env` object on [`moz:firefoxOptions`]
+ (note: this is not supported for Firefox Desktop)
+
+- Support for print-to-PDF
+
+ The newly standardised WebDriver [Print] endpoint provides a way to
+ render pages to a paginated PDF representation. This endpoint is
+ supported by geckodriver when using Firefox version ≥78.
+
+- Support for same-site cookies
+
+ Cookies can now be set with a `same-site` parameter, and the value
+ of that parameter will be returned when cookies are
+ retrieved. Requires Firefox version ≥79. Thanks to [Peter Major] for
+ the patch.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- _Android:_
+
+ - Firefox running on Android devices can now be controlled from a Windows host.
+
+ - Setups with multiple connected Android devices are now supported.
+
+ - Improved cleanup of configuration files. This prevents crashes if
+ the application is started manually after launching it through
+ geckodriver.
+
+- Windows and Linux binaries are again statically linked.
+
+## 0.26.0 (2019-10-12, `e9783a644016'`)
+
+Note that with this release the minimum recommended Firefox version
+has changed to Firefox ≥60.
+
+### Known problems
+
+- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_
+
+ Due to the recent requirement from Apple that all programs must
+ be notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
+ download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.
+
+ Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you
+ can find more details on how to work around this issue in the
+ [macOS notarization] section of the documentation.
+
+- _Windows:_
+
+ You must still have the [Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable
+ runtime] installed on your system for the binary to run. This
+ is a known bug which we weren't able fix for this release.
+
+- _Android:_
+
+ Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
+ Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Firefox
+ for Android releases.
+
+ In some cases geckodriver could crash due to a stack overflow when handling
+ certain device errors.
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for Firefox on Android
+
+ Starting with this release geckodriver is able to connect to
+ Firefox on Android systems, and to control packages based on
+ [GeckoView].
+
+ Support for Android works by the geckodriver process running on
+ a host system and Firefox running within either an emulator or
+ on a physical device connected to the host system. This requires
+ you to first [enable remote debugging on the Android device].
+
+ The WebDriver client must set the [`platformName` capability] to
+ "`android`" and the `androidPackage` capability within
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`] to the Android package name of the Firefox
+ application.
+
+ The full list of new capabilities specific to Android, instructions
+ how to use them, and examples can be found in the [`moz:firefoxOptions`]
+ documentation on MDN.
+
+ When the session is created, the `platformName` capability will
+ return "`android`" instead of reporting the platform of the host
+ system.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Continued Marionette refactoring changes
+
+ 0.25.0 came with a series of internal changes for how geckodriver
+ communicates with Firefox over the Marionette protocol. This
+ release contains the second half of the refactoring work.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Connection attempts to Firefox made more reliable
+
+ geckodriver now waits for the Marionette handshake before assuming
+ the session has been established. This should improve reliability
+ in creating new WebDriver sessions.
+
+- Corrected error codes used during session creation
+
+ When a new session was being configured with invalid input data,
+ the error codes returned was not always consistent. Attempting
+ to start a session with a malformed capabilities configuration
+ will now return the [`invalid argument`] error consistently.
+
+## 0.25.0 (2019-09-09, `bdb64cf16b68`)
+
+__Note to Windows users!__
+With this release you must have the [Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable runtime]
+installed on your system for the binary to run.
+This is a [known bug](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/1617)
+with this particular release that we intend to release a fix for soon.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added support for HTTP `HEAD` requests to the HTTPD
+
+ geckodriver now responds correctly to HTTP `HEAD` requests,
+ which can be used for probing whether it supports a particular API.
+
+ Thanks to [Bastien Orivel] for this patch.
+
+- Added support for searching for Nightly’s default path on macOS
+
+ If the location of the Firefox binary is not given, geckodriver
+ will from now also look for the location of Firefox Nightly in
+ the default locations. The ordered list of search paths on macOS
+ is as follows:
+
+ 1. `/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin`
+ 2. `$HOME/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin`
+ 3. `/Applications/Firefox Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin`
+ 4. `$HOME/Applications/Firefox Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin`
+
+ Thanks to [Kriti Singh] for this patch.
+
+- Support for application bundle paths on macOS
+
+ It is now possible to pass an application bundle path, such as
+ `/Applications/Firefox.app` as argument to the `binary` field in
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be automatically resolved to
+ the absolute path of the binary when Firefox is started.
+
+ Thanks to [Nupur Baghel] for this patch.
+
+- macOS and Windows builds are signed
+
+ With this release of geckodriver, executables for macOS and Windows
+ are signed using the same certificate key as Firefox. This should
+ help in cases where geckodriver previously got misidentified as
+ a virus by antivirus software.
+
+### Removed
+
+- Dropped support for legacy Selenium web element references
+
+ The legacy way of serialising web elements, using `{"ELEMENT": <UUID>}`,
+ has been removed in this release. This may break older Selenium
+ clients and clients which are otherwise not compatible with the
+ WebDriver standard.
+
+ Thanks to [Shivam Singhal] for this patch.
+
+- Removed `--webdriver-port` command-line option
+
+ `--webdriver-port <PORT>` was an undocumented alias for `--port`,
+ initially used for backwards compatibility with clients
+ prior to Selenium 3.0.0.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Refactored Marionette serialisation
+
+ Much of geckodriver’s internal plumbing for serialising WebDriver
+ requests to Marionette messages has been refactored to decrease
+ the amount of manual lifting.
+
+ This work should have no visible side-effects for users.
+
+ Thanks to [Nupur Baghel] for working on this throughout her
+ Outreachy internship at Mozilla.
+
+- Improved error messages for incorrect command-line usage
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Errors related to incorrect command-line usage no longer hidden
+
+ By mistake, earlier versions of geckodriver failed to print incorrect
+ flag use. With this release problems are again written to stderr.
+
+- Search system path for Firefox binary on BSDs
+
+ geckodriver would previously only search the system path for the
+ `firefox` binary on Linux. Now it supports different BSD flavours
+ as well.
+
+## 0.24.0 (2019-01-28, `917474f3473e`)
+
+### Added
+
+- Introduces `strictFileInteractability` capability
+
+ The new capability indicates if strict interactability checks
+ should be applied to `<input type=file>` elements. As strict
+ interactability checks are off by default, there is a change
+ in behaviour when using [Element Send Keys] with hidden file
+ upload controls.
+
+- Added new endpoint `GET /session/{session id}/moz/screenshot/full`
+ for taking full document screenshots, thanks to Greg Fraley.
+
+- Added new `--marionette-host <hostname>` flag for binding to a
+ particular interface/IP layer on the system.
+
+- Added new endpoint `POST /session/{session_id}/window/new`
+ for the [New Window] command to create a new top-level browsing
+ context, which can be either a window or a tab. The first version
+ of Firefox supporting this command is Firefox 66.0.
+
+- When using the preference `devtools.console.stdout.content` set to
+ `true` logging of console API calls like `info()`, `warn()`, and
+ `error()` can be routed to stdout.
+
+- geckodriver now sets the `app.update.disabledForTesting` preference
+ to prevent Firefox >= 65 from automatically updating whilst under
+ automation.
+
+### Removed
+
+- ARMv7 HF builds have been discontinued
+
+ We announced back in September 2018 that we would stop building for ARM,
+ but builds can be self-serviced by building from source.
+
+ To cross-compile from another host system, you can use this command:
+
+ % cargo build --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
+
+### Changed
+
+- Allow file uploads to hidden `<input type=file>` elements
+
+ Through a series of changes to the WebDriver specification,
+ geckodriver is now aligned with chromedriver’s behaviour that
+ allows interaction with hidden `<input type=file>` elements.
+
+ This allows WebDriver to be used with various popular web
+ frameworks that—through indirection—hides the file upload control
+ and invokes it through other means.
+
+- Allow use of an indefinite script timeout for the [Set Timeouts]
+ command, thanks to reimu.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Corrected `Content-Type` of response header to `utf-8` to fix
+ an HTTP/1.1 compatibility bug.
+
+- Relaxed the deserialization of timeouts parameters to allow unknown
+ fields for the [Set Timeouts] command.
+
+- Fixed a regression in the [Take Element Screenshot] to not screenshot
+ the viewport, but the requested element.
+
+## 0.23.0 (2018-10-03)
+
+This release contains a number of fixes for regressions introduced
+in 0.22.0, where we shipped a significant refactoring to the way
+geckodriver internally dealt with JSON serialisation.
+
+### Removed
+
+- The POST `/session/{session id}/element/{element id}/tap` endpoint
+ was removed, thanks to Kerem Kat.
+
+### Changed
+
+- [webdriver crate] upgraded to 0.38.0.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `desiredCapabilities` and `requiredCapabilities` are again
+ recognised on session creation
+
+ A regression in 0.22.0 caused geckodriver to recognise `desired`
+ and `required` instead of the correct `desiredCapabilities`
+ and `requiredCapabilities`. This will have caused significant
+ problems for users who relied on this legacy Selenium-style
+ session creation pattern.
+
+ Do however note that support for Selenium-styled new session
+ requests is temporary and that this will be removed sometime
+ before the 1.0 release.
+
+- `duration` field made optional on pause actions
+
+ A regression in 0.22.0 caused the pause action primitive to
+ require a `duration` field. This has now been fixed so that
+ pauses in action chains can be achieved with the default duration.
+
+- Log level formatted to expected Marionette input
+
+ A regression in 0.22.0 caused the log level to be improperly
+ formatted when using Firefox pre-releases. This is now fixed so
+ that the requested log level is correctly interpreted by Marionette.
+
+- `temporary` field on addon installation made optional
+
+ A regression in 0.22.0 caused the `temporary` field for POST
+ `/session/{session id}/moz/addon/install` to be mandatory. This has
+ now been fixed so that an addon is installed permanently by default.
+
+- SHA1s in version information uses limited number of characters
+
+ The SHA1 used in `--version` when building geckodriver from a
+ git repository is now limited to 12 characters, as it is when
+ building from an hg checkout. This ensures reproducible builds.
+
+## 0.22.0 (2018-09-15)
+
+This release marks an important milestone on the path towards
+a stable release of geckodriver. Large portions of geckodriver
+and the [webdriver] library it is based on has been refactored to
+accommodate using [serde] for JSON serialization.
+
+We have also made great strides to improving [WebDriver conformance],
+to the extent that geckodriver is now _almost_ entirely conforming
+to the standard.
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for WebDriver web element-, web frame-, and web window
+ identifiers from Firefox.
+
+- Added support for the non-configurable `setWindowRect` capability
+ from WebDriver.
+
+ This capability informs whether the attached browser supports
+ manipulating the window dimensions and position.
+
+- A new extension capability `moz:geckodriverVersion` is returned
+ upon session creation.
+
+### Changed
+
+- All JSON serialization and deserialisation has moved from
+ rustc_serialize to [serde].
+
+- The HTTP status codes used for [script timeout] and [timeout]
+ errors has changed from Request Timeout (408) to Internal Server
+ Error (500) in order to not break HTTP/1.1 `Keep-Alive` support,
+ as HTTP clients interpret the old status code to mean they should
+ duplicate the request.
+
+- The HTTP/1.1 `Keep-Alive` timeout for persistent connections has
+ been increased to 90 seconds.
+
+- An [invalid session ID] error is now returned when there is no
+ active session.
+
+- An [invalid argument] error is now returned when [Add Cookie]
+ is given invalid parameters.
+
+- The handshake when geckodriver connects to Marionette has been
+ hardened by killing the Firefox process if it fails.
+
+- The handshake read timeout has been reduced to 10 seconds instead
+ of waiting forever.
+
+- The HTTP server geckodriver uses, [hyper], has been upgraded to
+ version 0.12, thanks to [Bastien Orivel].
+
+- geckodriver version number is no longer logged on startup, as
+ the log level is not configured until a session is created.
+
+ The version number is available through `--version`, and now
+ also through a new `moz:geckodriverVersion` field in the matched
+ capabilities.
+
+- [webdriver crate] upgraded to 0.37.0.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Parsing [timeout object] values has been made WebDriver conforming,
+ by allowing floats as input.
+
+- Implicit downloads of OpenH264 and Widevine plugins has been disabled.
+
+- The commit hash and date displayed when invoking `--version`
+ is now well-formatted when built from an hg repository, thanks to
+ [Jeremy Lempereur].
+
+- Many documentation improvements, now published on
+ <https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/geckodriver/>.
+
+## 0.21.0 (2018-06-15)
+
+Note that with this release of geckodriver the minimum recommended
+Firefox and Selenium versions have changed:
+
+- Firefox 57 (and greater)
+- Selenium 3.11 (and greater)
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for the chrome element identifier from Firefox.
+
+- The `unhandledPromptBehavior` capability now accepts `accept and
+ notify`, `dismiss and notify`, and `ignore` options.
+
+ Note that the unhandled prompt handler is not fully supported in
+ Firefox at the time of writing.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Firefox will now be started with the `-foreground` and `-no-remote`
+ flags if they have not already been specified by the user in
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`].
+
+ `-foreground` will ensure the application window gets focus when
+ Firefox is started, and `-no-remote` will prevent remote commands
+ to this instance of Firefox and also ensure we always start a new
+ instance.
+
+- WebDriver commands that do not have a return value now correctly
+ return `{value: null}` instead of an empty dictionary.
+
+- The HTTP server now accepts `Keep-Alive` connections.
+
+- Firefox remote protocol command mappings updated.
+
+ All Marionette commands changed to make use of the `WebDriver:`
+ prefixes introduced with Firefox 56.
+
+- Overhaul of Firefox preferences.
+
+ Already deprecated preferences in Firefox versions earlier than
+ 57 got removed.
+
+- [webdriver crate] upgraded to 0.36.0.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Force use of IPv4 network stack.
+
+ On certain system configurations, where `localhost` resolves to
+ an IPv6 address, geckodriver would attempt to connect to Firefox
+ on the wrong IP stack, causing the connection attempt to time out
+ after 60 seconds. We now ensure that geckodriver uses IPv4
+ consistently to both connect to Firefox and for allocating a free
+ port.
+
+- geckodriver failed to locate the correct Firefox binary if it was
+ found under a _firefox_ or _firefox-bin_ directory, depending on
+ the system, because it thought the parent directory was the
+ executable.
+
+- On Unix systems (macOS, Linux), geckodriver falsely reported
+ non-executable files as valid binaries.
+
+- When stdout and stderr is redirected by geckodriver, a bug prevented
+ the redirections from taking effect.
+
+## 0.20.1 (2018-04-06)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Avoid attempting to kill Firefox process that has stopped.
+
+ With the change to allow Firefox enough time to shut down in
+ 0.20.0, geckodriver started unconditionally killing the process
+ to reap its exit status. This caused geckodriver to inaccurately
+ report a successful Firefox shutdown as a failure.
+
+ The regression should not have caused any functional problems, but
+ the termination cause and the exit status are now reported correctly.
+
+## 0.20.0 (2018-03-08)
+
+### Added
+
+- New `--jsdebugger` flag to open the [Browser Toolbox] when Firefox
+ launches. This is useful for debugging Marionette internals.
+
+- Introduced the temporary, boolean capability
+ `moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin` to disable the WebDriver
+ conforming behavior of calculating the Pointer Origin.
+
+### Changed
+
+- HTTP status code for the [`StaleElementReference`] error changed
+ from 400 (Bad Request) to 404 (Not Found).
+
+- Backtraces from geckodriver no longer substitute for missing
+ Marionette stacktraces.
+
+- [webdriver crate] upgraded to 0.35.0.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The Firefox process is now given ample time to shut down, allowing
+ enough time for the Firefox shutdown hang monitor to kick in.
+
+ Firefox has an integrated background monitor that observes
+ long-running threads during shutdown. These threads will be
+ killed after 63 seconds in the event of a hang. To allow Firefox
+ to shut down these threads on its own, geckodriver has to wait
+ that time and some additional seconds.
+
+- Grapheme clusters are now accepted as input for keyboard input
+ to actions.
+
+ Input to the `value` field of the `keyDown` and `keyUp` action
+ primitives used to only accept single characters, which means
+ geckodriver would error when a valid grapheme cluster was sent in,
+ for example with the tamil nadu character U+0BA8 U+0BBF.
+
+ Thanks to Greg Fraley for fixing this bug.
+
+- Improved error messages for malformed capability values.
+
+## 0.19.1 (2017-10-30)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Search suggestions in the location bar turned off as not to
+ trigger network connections
+
+- Block addons incompatible with E10s
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Marionette stacktraces are now correctly propagated
+
+- Some error messages have been clarified
+
+### Removed
+
+- Removed obsolete `socksUsername` and `socksPassword` proxy
+ configuration keys because neither were picked up or recognised
+
+## 0.19.0 (2017-09-16)
+
+Note that with geckodriver 0.19.0 the following versions are recommended:
+
+- Firefox 55.0 (and greater)
+- Selenium 3.5 (and greater)
+
+### Added
+
+- Added endpoint:
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/window/minimize` for the [Minimize Window]
+ command
+
+- Added preference `extensions.shield-recipe-client.api_url` to disable
+ shield studies which could unexpectedly change the behavior of Firefox
+
+- Introduced the temporary, boolean capability `moz:webdriverClick` to
+ enable the WebDriver conforming behavior of the [Element Click] command
+
+- Added crashreporter environment variables to better control the browser
+ in case of crashes
+
+- Added preference `dom.file.createInChild` set to true to allow file
+ object creation in content processes
+
+### Changed
+
+- Log all used application arguments and not only `-marionette`
+
+- Early abort connection attempts to Marionette if the Firefox process
+ closed unexpectetly
+
+- Removed deprecated `socksProxyVersion` in favor of `socksVersion`
+
+- Removed `ftpProxyPort`, `httpProxyPort`, `sslProxyPort`, and
+ `socksProxyPort` because _ports_ have to be set for `ftpProxy`,
+ `httpProxy`, `sslProxy`, and `socksProxy` using ":<PORT>"
+
+- The `proxyType` `noproxy` has been replaced with `direct` in accordance
+ with recent WebDriver specification changes
+
+- The [`WindowRectParameters`] have been updated to return signed 32-bit
+ integers in accordance with the CSS and WebDriver specifications, and
+ to be more liberal with the input types
+
+- Mapped the [`FullscreenWindow`] to the correct Marionette command
+
+- To make sure no browser process is left behind when the [`NewSession`]
+ fails, the process is closed immediately now
+
+- `/moz/addon/install` command accepts an `addon` parameter, in lieu of
+ `path`, containing an addon as a Base64 string (fixed by [Jason Juang])
+
+- [webdriver crate] upgraded to version 0.31.0
+
+- [mozrunner crate] upgraded to version 0.5.0
+
+### Removed
+
+- Removed the following obsolete preferences for Firefox:
+ - `browser.safebrowsing.enabled`
+ - `browser.safebrowsing.forbiddenURIs.enabled`
+ - `marionette.defaultPrefs.port`
+ - `marionette.logging`
+
+## 0.18.0 (2017-07-10)
+
+### Changed
+
+- [`RectResponse`] permits returning floats for `width` and `height`
+ fields
+
+- New type [`CookieResponse`] for the [`GetNamedCookie`] command returns
+ a single cookie, as opposed to an array of a single cookie
+
+- To pick up a prepared profile from the filesystem, it is now possible
+ to pass `["-profile", "/path/to/profile"]` in the `args` array on
+ [`moz:firefoxOptions`]
+
+- geckodriver now recommends Firefox 53 and greater
+
+- Version information (`--version`) contains the hash from from the
+ commit used to build geckodriver
+
+- geckodriver version logged on startup
+
+- [webdriver crate] upgraded to version 0.27.0
+
+- [mozrunner crate] upgraded to version 0.4.1
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The [`SetTimeouts`] command maps to the Marionette `setTimeouts`
+ command, which makes geckodriver compatible with Firefox 56 and greater
+
+- Linux x86 (i686-unknown-linux-musl) builds are fixed
+
+## 0.17.0 (2017-06-09)
+
+### Added
+
+- Added endpoints:
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/window/fullscreen` to invoke the window
+ manager-specific `full screen` operation
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/moz/addon/install` to install an extension
+ (Gecko only)
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/moz/addon/uninstall` to uninstall an
+ extension (Gecko only)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Increasing the length of the `network.http.phishy-userpass-length`
+ preference will cause Firefox to not prompt when navigating to a
+ website with a username or password in the URL
+
+- Library dependencies upgraded to mozrunner 0.4 and mozprofile 0.3
+ to allow overriding of preferences via capabilities if those have been
+ already set in the profile
+
+- Library dependencies upgraded to mozversion 0.1.2 to only use the
+ normalized path of the Firefox binary for version checks but not to
+ actually start the browser, which broke several components in Firefox
+ on Windows
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The [SetWindowRect] command now returns the [WindowRectResponse]
+ when it is done
+
+- Use ASCII versions of array symbols to properly display them in the
+ Windows command prompt
+
+- Use [`SessionNotCreated`] error instead of [`UnknownError`] if there
+ is no current session
+
+## 0.16.1 (2017-04-26)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Read Firefox version number from stdout when failing
+ to look for the application .ini file (fixes [Selenium
+ #3884](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/3884))
+
+- Session is now ended when closing the last Firefox window (fixes
+ [#613](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/613))
+
+## 0.16.0 (2017-04-21)
+
+Note that geckodriver v0.16.0 is only compatible with Selenium 3.4
+and greater.
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for WebDriver-conforming [New Session] negotiation, with
+ `desiredCapabilities`/`requiredCapabilities` negotiation as fallback
+
+- Added two new endpoints:
+ - GET `/session/{session id}/window/rect` for [Get Window Rect]
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/window/rect` for [Set Window Rect]
+
+- Align errors with the [WebDriver errors]:
+ - Introduces new errors [`ElementClickIntercepted`],
+ [`ElementNotInteractable`], [`InvalidCoordinates`], [`NoSuchCookie`],
+ [`UnableToCaptureScreen`], and [`UnknownCommand`]
+ - Removes `ElementNotVisible` and `InvalidElementCoordinates` errors
+
+### Removed
+
+- Removed following list of unused endpoints:
+ - GET `/session/{session id}/alert_text`
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/alert_text`
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/accept_alert`
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/dismiss_alert`
+ - GET `/session/{session id}/window_handle`
+ - DELETE `/session/{session id}/window_handle`
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/execute_async`
+ - POST `/session/{session id}/execute`
+
+### Changed
+
+- [`SendKeysParameters`], which is used for the [Element Send Keys] and
+ [Send Alert Text] commands, has been updated to take a string `text`
+ field
+
+- [`CookieResponse`] and [`CloseWindowResponse`] fixed to be properly
+ wrapped in a `value` field, like other responses
+
+- Allow negative numbers for `x` and `y` fields in `pointerMove` action
+
+- Disable Flash and the plugin container in Firefox by
+ default, which should help mitigate the “Plugin Container
+ for Firefox has stopped working” problems [many users were
+ reporting](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/225) when
+ deleting a session
+
+- Preferences passed in a profile now take precedence over
+ set of default preferences defined by geckodriver (fixed by
+ [Marc Fisher](https://github.com/DrMarcII))
+ - The exceptions are the `marionette.port` and `marionette.log.level`
+ preferences and their fallbacks, which are set unconditionally and
+ cannot be overridden
+
+- Remove default preference that disables unsafe CPOW checks
+
+- WebDriver library updated to 0.25.2
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fix for the “corrupt deflate stream” exception that
+ sometimes occurred when trying to write an empty profile by
+ [@kirhgoph](https://github.com/kirhgoph)
+
+- Recognise `sslProxy` and `sslProxyPort` entries in the proxy
+ configuration object (fixed by [Jason Juang])
+
+- Fix “`httpProxyPort` was not an integer” error (fixed by [Jason
+ Juang])
+
+- Fix broken unmarshaling of _Get Timeouts_ response format from Firefox
+ 52 and earlier (fixed by [Jason Juang])
+
+- Allow preferences in [`moz:firefoxOptions`] to be both positive- and
+ negative integers (fixed by [Jason Juang])
+
+- Allow IPv6 hostnames in the proxy configuration object
+
+- i686-unknown-linux-musl (Linux 32-bit) build fixed
+
+- Log messages from other Rust modules are now ignored
+
+- Improved log messages to the HTTPD
+
+## 0.15.0 (2017-03-08)
+
+### Added
+
+- Added routing and parsing for the [Get Timeouts] command
+
+### Changed
+
+- All HTTP responses are now wrapped in `{value: …}` objects per the
+ WebDriver specification; this may likely require you to update your
+ client library
+
+- Pointer move action’s `element` key changed to `origin`, which
+ lets pointer actions originate within the context of the viewport,
+ the pointer’s current position, or from an element
+
+- Now uses about:blank as the new tab document; this was previously
+ disabled due to [bug 1333736](https://bugzil.la/1333736) in Marionette
+
+- WebDriver library updated to 0.23.0
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Aligned the data structure accepted by the [Set Timeouts] command with
+ the WebDriver specification
+
+## 0.14.0 (2017-01-31)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Firefox process is now terminated and session ended when the last
+ window is closed
+
+- WebDriver library updated to version 0.20.0
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Stacktraces are now included when the error originates from within
+ the Rust stack
+
+- HTTPD now returns correct response headers for `Content-Type` and
+ `Cache-Control` thanks to [Mike Pennisi]
+
+## 0.13.0 (2017-01-06)
+
+### Changed
+
+- When navigating to a document with an insecure- or otherwise invalid
+ TLS certificate, an [insecure certificate] error will be returned
+
+- On macOS, deducing Firefox’ location on the system will look for
+ _firefox-bin_ on the system path (`PATH` environmental variable) before
+ looking in the applications folder
+
+- Window position coordinates are allowed to be negative numbers, to
+ cater for maximised window positioning on Windows
+
+- WebDriver library updated to version 0.18.0
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Check for single-character key codes in action sequences now counts
+ characters instead of bytes
+
+## 0.12.0 (2017-01-03)
+
+### Added
+
+- Added [Take Element Screenshot] command
+
+- Added new [Status] command
+
+- Added routing for the [Get Timeouts] command, but it is not yet
+ implemented in Marionette, and will return an _unsupported operation_
+ error until it is
+
+- Implemented routing for [new actions API](Actions), but it too is not
+ yet fully implemented in Marionette
+
+### Changed
+
+- [Synced Firefox
+ preferences](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/commit/2bfdc3ec8151c427a6a75a6ba3ad203459540495)
+ with those used in Mozilla automation
+
+- Default log level for debug builds of Firefox, which used to be `DEBUG`,
+ changed to `INFO`-level
+
+- WebDriver library dependency upgraded to 0.17.1
+
+- Using _session not created_ error when failing to start session
+
+- geckodriver will exit with exit code 69 to indicate that the port
+ is unavailable
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Improved logging when starting Firefox
+
+- Reverted to synchronous logging, which should address cases of
+ inconsistent output when failing to bind to port
+
+- Clarified in README that geckodriver is not supported on Windows XP
+
+- Added documentation of supported capabilities to [README]
+
+- Included capabilities example in the [README]
+
+## 0.11.1 (2016-10-10)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Version number in binary now reflects the release version
+
+## 0.11.0 (2016-10-10)
+
+### Added
+
+- Introduced continuous integration builds for Linux- and Windows 32-bit
+ binaries
+
+- Added commands for setting- and getting the window position
+
+- Added new extension commands for finding an element’s anonymous
+ children and querying its attributes; accessible through the
+ `/session/{sessionId}/moz/xbl/{elementId}/anonymous_children`
+ to return all anonymous children and
+ `/session/{sessionId}/moz/xbl/{elementId}/anonymous_by_attribute` to
+ return an anonymous element by a name and attribute query
+
+- Introduced a [`moz:firefoxOptions`] capability to customise a Firefox
+ session:
+
+ - The `binary`, `args`, and `profile` entries on this dictionary
+ is equivalent to the old `firefox_binary`, `firefox_args`, and
+ `firefox_profile` capabilities, which have now all been removed
+
+ - The `log` capability takes a dictionary such as `{log: "trace"}`
+ to enable trace level verbosity in Gecko
+
+ - The `prefs` capability lets you define Firefox preferences through
+ capabilities
+
+- Re-introduced the `--webdriver-port` argument as a hidden alias to
+ `--port`
+
+### Changed
+
+- `firefox_binary`, `firefox_args`, and `firefox_profile` capabilities
+ removed in favour of the [`moz:firefoxOptions`] dictionary detailed above
+ and in the [README]
+
+- Removed `--no-e10s` flag, and geckodriver will from now rely on the
+ Firefox default multiprocessing settings (override using preferences)
+
+- Disable pop-up blocker in the default profile by @juangj
+
+- Changed Rust compiler version to 1.12 (beta)
+ temporarily because of [trouble linking Musl
+ binaries](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/34978)
+
+- Replaced _env_logger_ logging facility with the _slog_ package,
+ causing the `RUST_LOG` environment variable to no longer have any affect
+
+- Updated the WebDriver Rust library to version 0.15
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Corrected link to repository in Cargo metadata
+
+- Verbosity shorthand flag `-v[v]` now works again, following the
+ replacement of the argument parsing library in the previous release
+
+- When the HTTPD fails to start, errors are propagated to the user
+
+- Disabled the additional welcome URL
+ (`startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional`) so that officially branded
+ Firefox builds do not start with two open tabs in fresh profiles
+
+- Disabled homepage override URL redirection on milestone upgrades,
+ which means a tab with an upgrade notice is not displayed when launching
+ a new Firefox version
+
+## 0.10.0 (2016-08-02)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Use multi-process Firefox (e10s) by default, added flag `--no-e10s`
+ to disable it and removed `--e10s` flag
+
+- Disable autofilling of forms by default by [Sven Jost]
+
+- Replace _argparse_ with _clap_ for arguments parsing
+
