Squish 6.0.2 is a maintenance release containing various bug fixes and small improvements as described below:

squishide-specific

• Improved performance of the Gherkin editor's scenario annotations
• Fix crash when pressing the Retry button in object not found dialog when using JavaScript as script language

Scripting

• Importing the squishtest module without having a license key installed will now cause an exception to be raised.
• Fixed occasional stability issue when executing import squishtest using a standard Python interpreter.
• Timeout event handlers installed via the squishtest modules' installEventHandler function now get called correctly.

• Fixed a problem that prevented settings changes in Google Chrome from being persisted on Windows.
• Improved support for using Proxy server on Windows, when the proxy is used for local connections.
• Fixed a crash when expanding the BrowserTab_0 object after hooking into the browser failed.
• Fixed a problem with connecting to an already running Microsoft Internet Explorer instance, for example when Microsoft Internet Explorer is embedded into an Eclipse based AUT.
• Fixed a problem with recording of text input containing a percent character (%)
