Most important enhancements
49+
===========================
50+
51+
- Add new selenium 4 print page as PDF functionality (`#1824`_)
52+
The print page as pdf functionality within Selenium 4 has been added into SeleniumLibrary
53+
with a new keyword. See the keyword documentation for usage.
54+
- Add driver Service Class into Open Browser (`#1900`_)
55+
Selenium has shifted from a couple arguments for configuring the driver settings into the new
56+
Service class. As with the options argument these changes allows for service class to be set
57+
using a simlar string format. More information can be found in the `Open Browser` keyword
58+
documentation and newly rearranged Introduction.
59+
- Add warning about frame deselection when using `Page Should Contain` keyword. (`#1894`_)
60+
In searching through the page, the `Page Should Contain` keyword will select and search
61+
through frames. Thus it silently changes the frame context. Added warning within the keyword
62+
documentation noting as such.
63+
- Wrong Type Hint on some keywords. (`locator: Union[WebElement, None, str]`) (`#1880`_)
64+
Several type hints on locator arguments denoted the argument allowed for none when indeed
65+
they did not. This corrects those type hints.
66+
67+
Deprecated features
68+
===================
69+
70+
- Start Deprecation and Removal of Selenium2Library (deep) references/package (`#1826`_)
71+
Removed references and instructions regarding Selenium2Library; moving some to an archived
72+
VERSIONS.rst top level documentation.
73+
74+
Acknowledgements
75+
================
76+
77+
- We would like to thank `René Rohner <https://github.com/Snooz82>`_ for discovering the
78+
incorrect type hints on some keywords. (`locator: Union[WebElement, None, str]`) (`#1880`_)
79+
- `SamMaksymyshyn <https://github.com/SamMaksymyshyn>`_, `Yuri Verweij <https://github.com/yuriverweij>`_
80+
and `Lisa Crispin <https://lisacrispin.com/>`_ for helping to model and design the new
81+
print page as PDF functionality (`#1824`_)
82+
- `Tatu Aalto <https://github.com/aaltat>`_ for modeling and reviewing the added driver Service Class into Open Browser (`#1900`_)
83+

84+
