Version 4.0.1

General

• Improved the reliability of calls to the dragAndDrop function on Windows machines.
• Deal with the Tcl "wide" integer type. Fixed overload errors when, for example, the [seek] command is being used.
• Properly contain internal lookup errors that may occur during calls to the Boolean object.exists(objectName) function.
• Invoking squishrunner --testsuite now correctly prints all the test scripts' stderr output to stderr instead of merging the scripts' stderr and stdout output all into stdout. This restores the Squish 3.4.x behavior.
• No longer produce a spurious "Connection closed" error which sometimes occurred on application exit—for example, if the application was quit inside an event handler.
• Fixed some problems that could occur when running squishrunner --testsuite on the command line where the test scripts output lots of text to stdout.

New IDE

• Fixed a bug where the squishide could hang during startup.
• Prevented native Windows dialogs from randomly appearing by upgrading to a newer Java Runtime environment.
• Fixed high CPU consumption in the Script Console view after terminating script execution.
• Recording of new TSL scripts is not supported so this language option is no longer shown.
• Prevented a spurious exception from occurring when using the Terminate button to stop execution while halted at a breakpoint.
• Prevented a spurious exception from occurring when filtering out all the results from the Test Results view.
• Prevented a spurious exception that could occur when opening a file in an editor other than one of the default script editors.
• Stopped flickering when updating the text shown in the Control Bar Window.
• Gracefully handle the opening of a test suite that has the same name as an existing test suite.
• Fixed a problem with the Launch AUT action that could occur when the editor is maximized.
• Prevented a spurious exception that could occur when quickly toggling a property checkbox in the Verification Point Creator view.
• Disable the Launch AUT action, the Run Test Case action, and the Record Test Case action when they don't make sense—for example, when a test case has started.
• Drastically improved the performance of the Test Results view by reducing the number of screen refreshes.
• Automatically open the correct Console view when stopping at a breakpoint.
• Improved the error message that appears when an attempt is made to select an invalid "Squish Tools" package.
• Fixed a regression where the Pref­er­ences dialog's Playback preferences page was hidden: it is now visible. This page is used to configure the Snooze Factor and Cursor Animation settings.
• When a file is deleted any editors that are showing the file's contents are now correctly closed.
• Fixed the updating of failed image verification points with new expected results.
• The Delete Test Suite action is now disabled when the AUT is running.
• Gracefully handle the absence of a suite settings file (suite.conf).
• The order of test cases is now correctly maintained in the suite.conf file even when a test case is renamed.
• Any changes made through the squishide that affect the suite.conf file now result in the file being updated immediately. This ensures that if the squishrunner accesses the suite.conf file after a change has been made in the squishide, the squishrunner gets the most up to date data.
• Fixed results produced by the Check Object Existence action.

Qt-specific

• Wildcard matches can now be used on QGraphicsItem objects' lineColor and fillColor properties.
• Modifier key presses are now correctly simulated when calling the dragItemBy(objectOrName, x, y, dx, dy, modifierState, button) function.
• Added a new editable property to QModelIndex objects.
• Added mouseClick(objectOrName, x, y, modifierState, button) overloads for Q3ListView and Q3TableItem objects. These new overloads don't require mouse button or keyboard modifier arguments.
• Added a mouseClick(objectOrName, x, y, modifierState, button) overload for clicking web objects inside QtWebKit widgets. This overload doesn't require mouse button or keyboard modifier arguments.
• Fixed the recording and replay of clicks on QComboBox items that have no text.
• Improved the performance of looking up items in Qt widgets.
• Fixed the start*aut tool's --verbose option
• Fixed out-of-bounds checking for rows and columns.
• The object cache is now correctly invalidated when Squish detects that a cached QObject got deleted.
• Improved the recognition of web elements inside QtWebKit widgets in cases where the widget's HTML document is reloaded.
• Properties of type QUrl belonging to QObjects are now automatically exposed.
• Improved the error message that is output when the lookup of a QTableView's cell failed for given a row and column.
• Improved the reliability of screenshot generation for Qt widgets; also fixed a bug when calling the doubleClickItem(objectOrName, itemText, x, y, modifierState, button) function on null objects.

Java-specific

• Fixed the recording of canceling a SWT ColorDialog.
• Fixed a rare java.lang.ClassCastException when clicking items in Java AWT GUIs.
• Fixed Windows error R6034 when trying to launch a Java application with a 64-bit JRE installed.

Web-specific

• Fixed problems which could occur when running tests with Firefox 3.6.
• Fixed problems which could occur when calling the closeConfirm(":dummy", confirmed) and closePrompt(":dummy", text) functions in test scripts.
• Improved the recording of clicks on Java applets in web pages.

Native Windows (new edition)

• Fixed the recording of tests on Windows applications which temporarily close all of their windows.
• Fixed the recording of mouse clicks on native Windows applications in cases where the object under the mouse cursor changes between the mouse button press and mouse button release.
• Greatly improved the support for interacting with the Windows system tray.
• Actions on disabled toolbar items are (correctly) no longer recorded.

Mac-specific (Cocoa/Carbon edition)

• Fixed synchronization problems which could occur when calling the type(objectOrName, text) function and which caused the script to play back before all the keyboard events were processed.

iPhone/iPad-specific

• Added support for iOS 4 with the iPhone simulator. Note that separate packages are needed for iPhone OS 3.x and for iOS 4.
• Support hooking into applications that have an executable file name that is different from the .app name.
• Added a new command line option --xcode-root=<directory> to the iphonelauncher tool in order to support Xcode installations in non-default locations.
• Fixed a bug in the hook used to test on the iPhone device itself.

Tk-specific

• Fixed clicks on iwidgets TabNotebook objects.

Source Builds

• Perform 32-bit builds on macOS unless the --enable-64bit option is passed to configure.
