Add option to start browser headless in Open Browser keyword (#1014, alpha 1)
The Open Browser keyword supports starting Chrome and Firefox browsers in headless
mode. This can done be setting the browser argument to headlessfirefox or
headlesschrome values.
Allow Open Browser keyword to pass capabilities also for local browsers (#550, alpha 1)
The Open Browser keyword desired_capabilities argument can now be used to configure
a browser when starting a local browser. In the previous releases, the desired_capabilities
argument was only used when also the remote_url argument was provided. Now this is changed
and desired_capabilities argument can be also used configure the browser when running
locally.
Remove deprecated browser attribute from the library public API. (#1036, alpha 1)
During the 3.0.0 pre release phase, we did changed some of the public API arguments names,
but we wanted to provide backwards support for the early adopters be keeping some of the
old public API attributes. This attribute was deprecated during pre releases and it
should have been removed during the 3.0.0 final release, but that was forgotten.
The browser public API attribute is now removed in this release.
