| 3 | + `RIDE (Robot Framework |
| 4 | + IDE) <https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/>`__ v2.0.5 is a new |
| 5 | + release with minor enhancements and bug fixes. The reference for |
| 6 | + valid arguments is `Robot Framework <http://robotframework.org>`__ |
| 7 | + installed version, which is at this moment 6.0.2. However, internal |
| 8 | + library is based on version 3.1.2, to keep compatibility with old |
| 9 | + formats. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + - This version supports Python 3.6 up to 3.10. |
| 12 | + - There are some changes, or known issues: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + - Newlines in Grid Editor are not visible when in navigation |
| 15 | + mode, but visible in edit mode. |
| 16 | + - Auto suggestions in Grid Editor can be enabled to not use |
| 17 | + shortcut to show list. |
| 18 | + - On Text Editor when Saving the selection of tests in Test |
| 19 | + Suites (Tree) is cleared. |
| 20 | + - Test Suite with *\**\* Comments \**\** can be edited but |
| 21 | + newlines are introduced. |
| 22 | + - Some argument types detection (and colorization) is not correct |
| 23 | + in Grid Editor. |
| 24 | + - RIDE **DOES NOT KEEP** Test Suites formatting or structure, |
| 25 | + causing differences in files when used on other IDE or Editors. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + **New Features and Fixes Highlights** |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + - Added **FOR** scope markers (**IN**, **IN RANGE**, **IN |
| 30 | + ENUMERATE**, **IN ZIP**) to auto-complete list |
| 31 | + - Added support to read environment variable **ROBOT_VERSION** to |
| 32 | + apply some conditions |
| 33 | + - Added notes on Test Timeout Grid Editor field and in Preferences |
| 34 | + of Test Runner |
| 35 | + - Keywords auto-suggestion in grid editor does not need shortcut |
| 36 | + anymore, if you want to enable or disable this feature you can |
| 37 | + config in \`Preferences -> Grid Editor -> Enable auto |
| 38 | + suggestions\` |
| 39 | + - Made \\n visible when editing cells in Grid Editor (problematic in |
| 40 | + Windows) |
| 41 | + - Changed alias marker on library imports to consider variable |
| 42 | + **ROBOT_VERSION**. If version is lower than 6.0, uses **WITH |
| 43 | + NAME**, otherwise will use **AS** |
| 44 | + - Fixed auto-indent on block commands in Text Editor |
| 45 | + - Fixed missing auto-enclosing when in Cell Editor in Linux |
| 46 | + - Fixed RIDE will crash when using third party input method in Mac |
| 47 | + OS |
| 48 | + - Fixed missing color definition for keyword call in Text Editor |
| 49 | + - Fixed clearing or emptying fixtures (Setups, Teardowns), now |
| 50 | + removes headers and synchronizes Text Editor |
| 51 | + - Fixed selection and persistance of colors in File Explorer and |
| 52 | + Project Tree panels |
| 53 | + - Fixed not using defined color for help and HTML content |
| 54 | + - Fixed missing newlines in sections separation |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + We hope to implement or complete features and make fixes on next |
| 57 | + major version 2.1 (in the end of 2023). |
