Maven:

    To use the operadriver, add the following dependency to your own pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.opera</groupId>
      <artifactId>operadriver</artifactId>
      <version>0.9</version>
    </dependency>

v2.16.1
======

RC:
  * FIXED: 3148: Allow IE to be launched.

v2.16.0
=======

WebDriver:
  * Native events enabled for Firefox 9
  * The FirefoxDriver now enables apps to use offline storage by default.
  * ChromeDriver allows setting the chrome driver's environment more easily.
  * RemoteWebElement implementations now guarantee that the ID used to
    identify them. This allows "hashCode" and "equals" to be local operations
    in Java.
  * The PageFactory will now no longer decorate List<WebElement> fields unless
    annotated with a @FindBy.
  * By default, clicks will now be in the middle of elements.  
  * RemoteWebDriver will use uncacheable GET requests to communicate with the
    remote webdriver server.
  * HtmlUnitDriver defaults to emulating Firefox 3.6.
  * FIXED: 2985: Calling quit() on the IE Driver in a shutdown hook will no
    longer kill the JVM.
  * FIXED: 2893: You can now pass a Map to executeScript when using Firefox.
  * FIXED: 1395, 2747, 2869, 2431: Upgraded version of CocoaHTTPServer to the
    latest and greatest.

WebDriverJS:
  * Test failures are now annotated with the task history.
  * JSONP support dropped in favour of CORS. For those browsers where CORS is
    not fully implemented, added a "/xdrpc" (cross-domain rpc) end-point.
  * Change the promise.Application event loop to run at a set interval
    instead of trying to explicitly trigger it at the appropriate times. This
    makes debugging much simpler. 
  * WebDriverJS hub front-end now renders correctly in IE.

Grid:
  * It's now a beautiful butterfly.

RC:
  * IE HTA mode will now close the final window.
  * All windows are now opened as "resizable". This means that they should
    always open in new windows rather than tabs in IE.
  * *chrome mode can type into file input elements on Firefox 8+
  * WebDriverCommandProcessor has all constructors depending on the
    (deprecated) SuppliesWebDriver class marked as deprecated. Will be deleted
    in the next release.
 
Automation Atoms: 
  * Bug fixes and updates
  * Included a touchscreen abstraction
 
 
v2.15.0
=======
Project:
  * Code donation from Google.

WebDriver: 
  * Now supports up to and including Firefox 11.
  * Changed order of FirefoxProfile initialization attempts on a
    remote host: 1) try to load from capabilities, 2) try to load
    locally if webdriver.firefox.profile is specified, 3) create an
    empty profile.
  * Added the beginning of infrastructure for gathering logs from
    webdriver tests.
  * Added an UnreachableBrowserException.
  * Additional work on the WebDriver JS console.
  * Implicit waits now change how long we wait for alerts. This
    functionality will change in 2.16
  * FIXED: 2700: The infamous scrolling issue.
  * FIXED: 2816: ClassCastException when calling switchTo().alert().

Grid:
  * Grid now distinguishs between CLIENT_GONE and
    FORWARDING_TO_NODE_FAILED.
  * FIXED: issue where older RCs could not connect to a newer hub.

RC:
  * Selenium-backed WebDriver now uses atoms for typing.

Automation Atoms:
  * Significantly reworked input device abstractions.

Known Issues:
  * HTA mode for Selenium RC (*iexplore) leaves a browser window open.
