Robot Framework IDE 2.0.3

Please see the complete release notes here.

Below is a short excerpt of it:

RIDE (Robot Framework IDE) v2.0.3 is a new release with minor enhancements and bug fixes. The reference for valid arguments is Robot Framework installed version, which is at this moment 6.0.2. However, internal library is based on version 3.1.2, to keep compatibility with old formats.

This version supports Python 3.6 up to 3.10.
There are some changes, or known issues:

Newlines in Grid Editor are not visible when in navigation mode, but visible in edit mode.
Auto suggestions in Grid Editor can be enabled to not use shortcut to show list.
On Text Editor when Saving the selection of tests in Test Suites (Tree) is cleared.
Test Suite with ** Comments **** can be edited but newlines are introduced.
Some argument types detection (and colorization) is not correct in Grid Editor.
RIDE DOES NOT KEEP Test Suites formatting or structure, causing differences in files when used on other IDE or Editors.

New Features and Fixes Highlights

Keywords auto-suggestion in grid editor does not need shortcut anymore, if you want to enable or disable this feature you can config in Preferences -> Grid Editor -> Enable auto suggestions
Made \n visible when editing cells in Grid Editor (problematic in Windows)
Fixed missing auto-enclosing when in Cell Editor in Linux
Fixed RIDE will crash when using third party input method in Mac OS
Fixed missing color definition for keyword call in Text Editor
Fixed clearing or emptying fixtures (Setups, Teardowns), now removes headers and synchronizes Text Editor
Fixed selection and persistance of colors in File Explorer and Project Tree panels
Fixed not using defined color for help and HTML content
Fixed missing newlines in sections separation

We hope to implement or complete features and make fixes on next version 2.1 (in the end of 2023).

Linux users are advised to install first wxPython from .whl package at wxPython.org, or by using the system package manager.
