Watir – Software

Watir 7.0 Released!

Watir 7.0.0 is now available on RubyGems. It requires Ruby 2.6+ and Selenium 4.0 which was just released last week. It’s been a long road since Watir 6.0 was released almost 5 years ago. That version was a substantial reenvisiong of Watir’s default approach to automation, especially as it relates to Selenium. It was designed to combine the original philosophy of Watir with the power of Selenium. Watir 7 is mostly just a much more stable and performant implementation of that vision. As of this release, there are no outstanding Pull Requests or reported bugs in our Issue Tracker!
