# Change log

All notable changes to this program are documented in this file.

## 0.37.1 (2026-07-20, `125896b8db38`)

### Known problems

- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu versions since 22.04), it may see a different filesystem
  to the host. This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which
  may result in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the
  geckodriver [usage documentation].

### Changed

- Browser UI testing for Firefox now requires the geckodriver
  [`--allow-system-access`] command-line argument. Setting the
  Firefox `--remote-allow-system-access` command-line argument
  via `moz:firefoxOptions` is no longer supported.

### Fixed

- Fixed a regression in geckodriver 0.37.0 that could cause Firefox for Android
  to exit immediately on startup on non-rooted Android devices.

## 0.37.0 (2026-06-03, `253b85235865`)

### Known problems

- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu versions since 22.04), it may see a different filesystem
  to the host. This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which
  may result in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the
  geckodriver [usage documentation].

- On non-rooted Android devices, geckodriver 0.37.0 may cause Firefox for Android
  to exit immediately on startup. This issue is fixed in geckodriver 0.37.1.

### Added

- Added full support for the [Web Authentication specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#sctn-automation).
  Requires Firefox 152 or later.

- Added support for the [Global Privacy Control specification](https://w3c.github.io/gpc/#automation).
  Requires Firefox 147 or later.

- Added support for the `unhandledPromptBehavior.file` capability, which controls
  how file dialogs are handled during automation.
  Requires Firefox 147 or later.

### Changed

- Firefox on Android now detects early exits during startup, preventing
  geckodriver from making prolonged connection attempts to a process that
  has already terminated.

- On Linux Snap installations, geckodriver now launches Firefox using
  the direct binary path, improving compatibility with containerized
  environments.

- The `implicit` and `pageLoad` timeouts now accept `null` as a value,
  which disables the respective timeout.

- When the Android test runner fails to start, geckodriver now
  automatically retries the launch once before reporting an error.

- When geckodriver is terminated (e.g. via SIGTERM), it now attempts
  a graceful shutdown of Firefox first, falling back to a forced kill
  if necessary to avoid leaving behind orphaned processes.

- Updated geckodriver to the Rust 2024 edition.

### Fixed

- Invalid files encountered when extracting a custom profile now
  raise an error.

- Fixed an issue where an already running Firefox package on Android
  was not correctly force-stopped before launching a new session.

- Fixed retrieval of crash minidump files from the Firefox profile
  directory.

### Removed

- Linux 32-bit builds have been discontinued.

  Starting with Firefox 145, Mozilla no longer ships binaries for
  32-bit (x86) Linux. As a result, geckodriver binaries for that
  platform are no longer provided either.

  If you still need a 32-bit Linux build of geckodriver, you can
  install it via `cargo install` or cross-compile it yourself:

  ```shell
  % cargo build --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu
  ```

- Removed FTP proxy support from WebDriver capabilities, as FTP
  proxying is no longer supported by modern browsers.

- Removed the deprecated `--enable-crash-reporter` command line argument.
  Use the `MINIDUMP_SAVE_PATH` environment variable instead to preserve
  crash dump files.

## 0.36.0 (2025-02-25, `a3d508507022`)

### Known problems

- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
  This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
  in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
  [usage documentation].

- Virtual Authenticator endpoints are currently unreliable.

  Since their introduction in geckodriver 0.34.0, several Virtual Authenticator
  endpoints have been reported as non-functional or behaving unexpectedly.
  We recommend avoiding the use of these commands until the known issues have
  been resolved.

### Added

- Support for searching the Firefox Developer Edition’s default path on macOS.

  Implemented by [Gatlin Newhouse].

- Ability to push a WebExtension archive as created from a base64 encoded string
  to an Android device.

- Added an `allowPrivateBrowsing` field for POST `/session/{session id}/moz/addon/install`
  to allow the installation of a WebExtension that is enabled in Private Browsing mode.

- Introduced the [`--allow-system-access`] command line argument for geckodriver, which will
  be required for future versions of Firefox (potentially starting with 138.0) to allow
  testing in the `chrome` context.

- Added support for preserving crash dumps for crash report analysis when
  Firefox crashes. If the `MINIDUMP_SAVE_PATH` environment variable is set
  to an existing folder, crash dumps will be saved accordingly. For mobile
  devices, the generated minidump files will be automatically transferred
  to the host machine.

  For more details see the documentation of how to handle [crash reports].

### Changed

- Updated the type of the `x` and `y` fields of pointer move actions (mouse and touch)
  from integer to fractional numbers to ensure a more precise input control.

  Note: Support for fractional values is available starting with Firefox 137.
  For older versions, clients or tests must explicitly pass integer values for
  both fields.

- Replaced `serde_yaml` with `yaml-rust` because it's no longer officially supported.

- The `--enable-crash-reporter` command line argument has been deprecated to
  prevent crash reports from being submitted to Socorro. This argument will be
  completely removed in the next version.

  Instead, use the `MINIDUMP_SAVE_PATH` environment variable to get minidump
  files saved to a specified location.

### Fixed

- Fixed route registration for `WebAuthn` commands, which were introduced in
  geckodriver 0.34.0 but mistakenly registered under `/sessions/` instead of
  `/session/`, causing them to be non-functional.

### Removed

- Removed the `-no-remote` command-line argument usage for Firefox, which does no longer exist.

## 0.35.0 (2024-08-06, `9f0a0036bea4`)

### Known problems

- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
  This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
  in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
  [usage documentation].

- Virtual Authenticator endpoints are currently unreliable.

  Since their introduction in geckodriver 0.34.0, several Virtual Authenticator
  endpoints have been reported as non-functional or behaving unexpectedly.
  We recommend avoiding the use of these commands until the known issues have
  been resolved.

### Added

- Support for [Permissions] that allow controlling permission prompts
  within the browser. This enables automated tests to handle scenarios
  involving permissions like `geolocation`, `notifications`, and more.

- The command line flag `--enable-crash-reporter` has been added, to allow
  the crash reporter in Firefox to automatically submit crash reports to
  Mozilla's crash reporting system if a tab or the browser itself crashes.

  Note that this feature is disabled by default and should only be used when a
  crash situation needs to be investigated. See our documentation for
  [crash reports] in how to share these with us.

  Implemented by [Razvan Cojocaru].

### Changed

- The validation of the `unhandledPromptBehavior` capability has been enhanced
  to support finer configuration options for the [User Prompt Handler] which
  are particularly used by [WebDriver BiDi].

### Fixed

- The [Switch To Frame] command now correctly raises an "invalid argument"
  error when the `id` parameter is missing.

  Implemented by [James Hendry].

### Removed

- Removed support for session negotiation using the deprecated
  `desiredCapabilities` and `requiredCapabilities`.

  Implemented by [James Hendry].

- Removed support for the `moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin` capability,
  which has not been supported since Firefox 116.

## 0.34.0 (2024-01-03, `c44f0d09630a`)

### Known problems

- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
  This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
  in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
  [usage documentation].

- Virtual Authenticator endpoints are currently unreliable.

  Since their introduction in geckodriver 0.34.0, several Virtual Authenticator
  endpoints have been reported as non-functional or behaving unexpectedly.
  We recommend avoiding the use of these commands until the known issues have
  been resolved.

### Added

- Support for [Virtual Authenticators]

  [Virtual Authenticators] serve as a WebDriver Extension designed to simulate
  user authentication (WebAuthn) on web applications during automated testing.
  This functionality encompasses a range of methods, including passwords,
  biometrics, and security keys.

  Geckodriver supports all available commands:

  - [Add Virtual Authenticator]
  - [Remove Virtual Authenticator]
  - [Add Credential]
  - [Get Credentials]
  - [Remove Credential]
  - [Remove All Credentials]
  - [Set User Verified]

- Support for using a page range as integer for the [Print] command.

  Implemented by [Mitesh Gulecha].

### Changed

- The error handling has undergone refactoring, now utilizing the
  [anyhow](https://docs.rs/anyhow) and [thiserror](https://docs.rs/thiserror)
  crates.

  Implemented by [James Hendry].

- Specifying `--port=0` as an argument allows geckodriver to dynamically find
  and use an available free port on the system.

- Updated dependencies (base64, clap, rust-url)

### Fixed

- While searching for a default Firefox installation on the system, geckodriver
  used the `Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin` executable instead of the binary
  specified in the app bundle's `info.plist` file. This behavior resulted in a
  malfunction due to a regression in Firefox, particularly affecting the Firefox 121 release.

- The Firefox version check has been extended to enable the execution of
  distributions with custom prefixes for the application name.

  Implemented by [Razvan Cojocaru].

### Removed

- Removed the `unknown path` error which is not part of the WebDriver specification.

  Implemented by [James Hendry].

## 0.33.0  (2023-04-03, `a80e5fd61076`)

### Known problems

- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
  This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
  in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
  [usage documentation].

- _Potential hang with `moz:debuggerAddress` capability set to `true`:_

  After enabling the site-isolation feature in Firefox with geckodriver 0.32.1
  some WebDriver clients like Selenium that use the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)
  by default for logging events could trigger a hang in Firefox's experimental CDP
  implementation. The fix for this problem will be shipped with Firefox 112.
  Until then the following Firefox preferences should be set:

  - `fission.bfcacheInParent: false`
  - `fission.webContentIsolationStrategy: 0`

### Added

- Support for [Get Computed Label] and [Get Computed Role]

  The command [Get Computed Label] returns the accessibility label (sometimes
  also referred to as Accessible Name), which is a short string that labels the
  function of the control (e.g. the string "Comment" or "Sign In" on a button).

  The command [Get Computed Role] returns the reserved token value (in ARIA,
  button, heading, etc.) that describes the type of control or content in the
  element.

  Note that the minimum required Firefox version is 113.0.

- Support for [Find Element From Shadow Root] and [Find Elements From Shadow Root]

  The commands allow a lookup of individual elements or collections of elements
  within an open or closed Shadow DOM. All location strategies except `Tag name` and
  `XPath selector` are currently supported.

  Note that the minimum required Firefox version is 113.0.

### Changed

- The Mozilla specific capability `moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin` has been
  marked as deprecated. Its removal is planned for the Firefox 116.0 release.

## 0.32.2  (2023-02-08, `602aa16c20d4`)

### Known problems

- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
  This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
  in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
  [usage documentation].

- _Potential hang with `moz:debuggerAddress` capability set to `true`:_

  After enabling the site-isolation feature in Firefox with geckodriver 0.32.1
  some WebDriver clients like Selenium that use the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)
  by default for logging events could trigger a hang in Firefox's experimental CDP
  implementation. The fix for this problem will be shipped with Firefox 112.
  Until then the following Firefox preferences should be set:

  - `fission.bfcacheInParent: false`
  - `fission.webContentIsolationStrategy: 0`

### Fixed

- With the release of geckodriver 0.32.1 the marionette crate was inappropriately
  bumped to a semver incompatible version and caused `cargo install geckodriver`
  to fail for older releases.

## 0.32.1  (2023-02-02, `b7f075124503`)

### Known problems

- _Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):_

  When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser
  shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host.
  This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result
  in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver
  [usage documentation].

- _Potential hang with `moz:debuggerAddress` capability set to `true`:_

  After enabling the site-isolation feature in Firefox with geckodriver 0.32.1
  some WebDriver clients like Selenium that use the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)
  by default for logging events could trigger a hang in Firefox's experimental CDP
  implementation. The fix for this problem will be shipped with Firefox 112.
  Until then the following Firefox preferences should be set:

  - `fission.bfcacheInParent: false`
  - `fission.webContentIsolationStrategy: 0`

### Fixed

- When using the boolean capability `moz:debuggerAddress` with a value of `true`
  the site-isolation feature in Firefox will no longer accidentally be turned off.
  This behavior affected all users of WebDriver clients especially Selenium, which
  set this capability by default, and caused Firefox on desktop systems to be
  launched in an unsupported mode.

## 0.32.0  (2022-10-13, `4563dd583110`)

### Added

- Native aarch64 builds of geckodriver for Linux and Windows are now available.

- Support `wheel` input source for [Actions], which is associated with a
  wheel-type input device. This endpoint is supported by geckodriver when
  using Firefox version ≥106.

- Support `touch` as `pointerType` for `pointer` input source for [Actions],
  which is associated with a touch input device. This also includes the
  addition of all the remaining properties for `pointer` input sources as
  specified by WebDriver. This endpoint is supported by geckodriver when using
  Firefox version ≥104.

### Fixed

- Using geckodriver to launch Firefox inside a sandbox -- for example
  a Firefox distribution using Snap or Flatpak -- can fail with a
  "Profile not found" error if the sandbox restricts Firefox's ability
  to access the system temporary directory. geckodriver uses the
  temporary directory to store Firefox profiles created during the run.

  This issue can now be worked around by using the `--profile-root`
  command line option or setting the `TMPDIR` environment variable to
  a location that both Firefox and geckodriver have read/write access
  to e.g.:

  ```bash
  % mkdir $HOME/tmp
  % geckodriver --profile-root=~/tmp
  ```

  or

  ```bash
  % TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp geckodriver
  ```

  Alternatively, geckodriver may be used with a Firefox install that
  is not packaged inside a sandbox e.g. from [mozilla.org].

- The sandboxed Firefox binary is now automatically detected when geckodriver
  is used from within a Snap confinement.

  Implemented by [Olivier Tilloy].

- On MacOS the geckodriver binary is now technically both signed and notarized.

  Note: The actual validation can only be performed if the machine that starts
  the geckodriver binary for the very first time is online. You can find more
  details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS notarization] section
  of the documentation.

- The backup of the original Firefox preferences are now correctly restored
  on Android when the WebDriver session ends.

### Changed

- Update dependencies

## 0.31.0  (2022-04-11, `b617178ef491`)

### Known problems

- _Firefox running in Linux Sandbox (e.g. Snap package):_

  Using geckodriver to launch Firefox inside a sandbox -- for example
  a Firefox distribution using Snap or Flatpak -- can fail with a
  "Profile not found" error if the sandbox restricts Firefox's ability
  to access the system temporary directory. geckodriver uses the
  temporary directory to store Firefox profiles created during the run.

  As workaround geckodriver may be used with a Firefox install that
  is not packaged inside a sandbox e.g. from [mozilla.org].

- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_

  Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
  notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
  download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.

  Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
  find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
  notarization] section of the documentation.

### Added

- Users with the [Rust] toolchain installed can now build and install
  geckodriver from [crates.io] using Cargo:

  % cargo install geckodriver

- Support for [Get Element Shadow Root]

  Implemented by [David Burns].

  The standardised WebDriver [Get Element Shadow Root] endpoint provides a way
  to retrieve the Shadow Root of a given web element. This endpoint is
  supported by geckodriver when using Firefox version ≥96.

- Support for additional hosts and origins

  Users can now specify a list of allowed `Host` and `Origin` headers for
  incoming requests using the [`--allow-hosts`] and [`--allow-origins`] command
  line options, respectively. When such a flag is provided, exactly the given
  values will be permitted.

  By default any request with an `Origin` header is rejected, and only requests
  containing the bound hostname (specified via `--host`), or an IP address,
  in the Host header are allowed. These configuration options are
  designed to support scenarios where geckodriver is running on a different
  network node to the host e.g. some container based setups.

### Fixed

- Geckodriver lets Marionette itself select a system allocated port, so that
  it's no longer required to specify a fixed port when using a custom Firefox
  profile. This is done by reading the `MarionetteActivePort` file of the
  Firefox profile in-use. This helps to avoid port collisions when multiple
  Firefox instances are run in parallel.

- It's no longer possible to specify both the `androidPackage` and `binary`
  capabilities togther within [`moz:firefoxOptions`] because these capabilites
  are mutually exclusive.

## 0.30.0  (2021-09-16, `d372710b98a6`)

### Security Fixes

- CVE-2021-4138

  Fixed a DNS rebinding issues by enforcing a stricter `Host` header check.

  Reported by Gabriel Corona.

  - Improved `Host` header checks to reject requests not sent to a well-known
    local hostname or IP, or the server-specified hostname.

### Known problems

- geckodriver restricts connections to local IP addresses. This can interfere
  with deployments in which geckodriver is running on a different network node
  to the tests e.g. some container or virtual-machine based setups.

- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_

  Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
  notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
  download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.

  Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
  find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
  notarization] section of the documentation.

- _Android:_

  For releases of Firefox 89.0 and earlier Marionette will only be enabled in
  GeckoView based applications when the Firefox preference
  `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via [`moz:firefoxOptions`].

### Added

- Support for WebDriver clients to opt in to [WebDriver BiDi].

  Introduced the new boolean capability [`webSocketUrl`] that can be used by
  WebDriver clients to opt in to a bidirectional connection. A string capability
  with the same name will be returned by [`NewSession`], which contains the
  WebSocket URL of the newly created WebDriver session in the form of:
  `ws://host:port/session/<session id>`.

  When running on Android a port forward will be set on the host machine,
  which is using the exact same port as on the device.

  All the supported WebDriver BiDi commands depend on the version of
  Firefox, and not geckodriver. The first commands will be shipped in
  Firefox 94.

- It's now possible to set additional preferences when a custom profile has been
  specified. At the end of the session they will be removed.

### Fixed

- Added validation that the `--host` argument resolves to a local IP address.

- Limit the `--foreground` argument of Firefox to MacOS only.

- Increased Marionette handshake timeout to not fail for slow connections.

- `Marionette:Quit` is no longer sent twice during session deletion.

- When deleting a session that was attached to an already running browser
  instance, the browser is not getting closed anymore.

- Android

  - Starting Firefox on Android from a Windows based host will now succeed as
    we are using the correct Unix path separator to construct on-device paths.

  - Arguments as specified in [`moz:firefoxOptions`] are now used when starting
    Firefox.

  - Port forwards set for Marionette and the WebSocket server ([WebDriver BiDi])
    are now correctly removed when geckodriver exits.

  - The test root folder is now removed when geckodriver exists.

## 0.29.1  (2021-04-09, `970ef713fe58`)

### Known problems

- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_

  Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
  notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
  download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.

  Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
  find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
  notarization] section of the documentation.

- _Android:_

  Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
  Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
  [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in the Firefox 90 release for
  Android.

### Added

- When testing GeckoView based applications on Android it's now enough to
  specify the `androidPackage` capability. The appropriate activity name,
  and required intent arguments will now automatically be used for
  applications released by Mozilla.

- Native AArch64 (M1) builds of geckodriver for MacOS are now available. These
  are currently shipped as Tier2 due to missing test infrastructure. Please let
  us know if you experience issues.

### Fixed

- Fixed a stack overflow crash in thread 'webdriver dispatcher' when
  handling certain device errors.

- Fixed an application crash due to missing permissions on unrooted devices
  by changing the location of the test related files, e.g the profile folder.
  Therefore the deprecated &#x2D;&#x2D;android-storage command line argument
  now defaults to the `sdcard` option, which changed its location to
  `$EXTERNAL_STORAGE/Android/data/%androidPackage%/files/`. With this change
  proper support for unrooted devices running Android 10+ has been added.

  _Note_: Do not use the &#x2D;&#x2D;android-storage command line argument
  anymore unless there is a strong reason. It will be removed in a future
  release.

## 0.29.0  (2021-01-14, `cf6956a5ec8e`)

### Known problems

- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_

  Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
  notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
  download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.

  Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
  find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
  notarization] section of the documentation.

- _Android:_

  Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
  Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
  [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Firefox
  for Android releases.

  In some cases geckodriver could crash due to a stack overflow when handling
  certain device errors.

  On unrooted Android 10+ devices startup crashes of the application can be
  experienced due to an inappropriate location of test related files, e.g the
  profile folder.

### Added

- Introduced the new boolean capability [`moz:debuggerAddress`] that can be used
  to opt-in to the experimental Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) implementation.
  A string capability with the same name will be returned by [`NewSession`],
  which contains the `host:port` combination of the HTTP server that can be
  used to query for websockets of available targets.

  Note: For this experimental feature the site-isolation support of
  Firefox aka [Fission] will be not available.

## 0.28.0  (2020-11-03, `c00d2b6acd3f`)

### Known problems

- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_

  Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
  notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
  download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.

  Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you can
  find more details on how to work around this issue in the [macOS
  notarization] section of the documentation.

- _Android:_

  Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
  Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
  [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Firefox
  for Android releases.

  In some cases geckodriver could crash due to a stack overflow when handling
  certain device errors.

  On unrooted Android 10+ devices startup crashes of the application can be
  experienced due to an inappropriate location of test related files, e.g the
  profile folder.

### Added

- The command line flag `--android-storage` has been added, to allow geckodriver
  to also control Firefox on root-less Android devices.
  See the [documentation][Flags] for available values.

### Fixed

- Firefox can be started again via a shell script that is located outside of the
  Firefox directory on Linux.

- If Firefox cannot be started by geckodriver the real underlying error message is
  now being reported.

- Version numbers for minor and extended support releases of Firefox are now parsed correctly.

### Removed

- Since Firefox 72 extension commands for finding an element’s anonymous children
  and querying its attributes are no longer needed, and have been removed.

## 0.27.0  (2020-07-27, `7b8c4f32cdde`)

### Security Fixes

- CVE-2020-15660

  Improved validation of incoming requests to prevent remote
  requests being treated as local.

  Reported by Gabriel Corona.

  - Added additional checks on the `Content-Type` header for `POST`
    requests to disallow `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`,
    `multipart/form-data` and `text/plain`.

  - Added checking of the `Origin` header for `POST` requests.

  - The version number of Firefox is now checked when establishing a session.

### Known problems

- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_

  Due to the requirement from Apple that all programs must be
  notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
  download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.

  [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Firefox
  for Android releases.

  In some cases geckodriver could crash due to a stack overflow when handling
  certain device errors.

### Added

- To set environment variables for the launched Firefox for Android,
  it is now possible to add an `env` object on [`moz:firefoxOptions`]
  (note: this is not supported for Firefox Desktop)

- Support for print-to-PDF

  The newly standardised WebDriver [Print] endpoint provides a way to
  render pages to a paginated PDF representation. This endpoint is
  supported by geckodriver when using Firefox version ≥78.

- Support for same-site cookies

  Cookies can now be set with a `same-site` parameter, and the value
  of that parameter will be returned when cookies are
  retrieved. Requires Firefox version ≥79. Thanks to [Peter Major] for
  the patch.

### Fixed

- _Android:_

  - Firefox running on Android devices can now be controlled from a Windows host.

  - Setups with multiple connected Android devices are now supported.

  - Improved cleanup of configuration files. This prevents crashes if
    the application is started manually after launching it through
    geckodriver.

- Windows and Linux binaries are again statically linked.

## 0.26.0  (2019-10-12, `e9783a644016'`)

Note that with this release the minimum recommended Firefox version
has changed to Firefox ≥60.

### Known problems

- _macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later:_

  Due to the recent requirement from Apple that all programs must
  be notarized, geckodriver will not work on Catalina if you manually
  download it through another notarized program, such as Firefox.

  Whilst we are working on a repackaging fix for this problem, you
  can find more details on how to work around this issue in the
  [macOS notarization] section of the documentation.

- _Windows:_

  You must still have the [Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable
  runtime] installed on your system for the binary to run.  This
  is a known bug which we weren't able fix for this release.

- _Android:_

  Marionette will only be enabled in GeckoView based applications when the
  Firefox preference `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` is set to `true` via
  [`moz:firefoxOptions`]. This will be fixed in one of the upcoming Firefox
  for Android releases.

  In some cases geckodriver could crash due to a stack overflow when handling
  certain device errors.

### Added

- Support for Firefox on Android

  Starting with this release geckodriver is able to connect to
  Firefox on Android systems, and to control packages based on
  [GeckoView].

  Support for Android works by the geckodriver process running on
  a host system and Firefox running within either an emulator or
  on a physical device connected to the host system.  This requires
  you to first [enable remote debugging on the Android device].

  The WebDriver client must set the [`platformName` capability] to
  "`android`" and the `androidPackage` capability within
  [`moz:firefoxOptions`] to the Android package name of the Firefox
  application.

  The full list of new capabilities specific to Android, instructions
  how to use them, and examples can be found in the [`moz:firefoxOptions`]
  documentation on MDN.

  When the session is created, the `platformName` capability will
  return "`android`" instead of reporting the platform of the host
  system.

### Changed

- Continued Marionette refactoring changes

  0.25.0 came with a series of internal changes for how geckodriver
  communicates with Firefox over the Marionette protocol.  This
  release contains the second half of the refactoring work.

### Fixed

- Connection attempts to Firefox made more reliable

  geckodriver now waits for the Marionette handshake before assuming
  the session has been established.  This should improve reliability
  in creating new WebDriver sessions.

- Corrected error codes used during session creation

  When a new session was being configured with invalid input data,
  the error codes returned was not always consistent.  Attempting
  to start a session with a malformed capabilities configuration
  will now return the [`invalid argument`] error consistently.

## 0.25.0 (2019-09-09, `bdb64cf16b68`)

__Note to Windows users!__
With this release you must have the [Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable runtime]
installed on your system for the binary to run.
This is a [known bug](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/1617)
with this particular release that we intend to release a fix for soon.

### Added

- Added support for HTTP `HEAD` requests to the HTTPD

  geckodriver now responds correctly to HTTP `HEAD` requests,
  which can be used for probing whether it supports a particular API.

  Thanks to [Bastien Orivel] for this patch.

- Added support for searching for Nightly’s default path on macOS

  If the location of the Firefox binary is not given, geckodriver
  will from now also look for the location of Firefox Nightly in
  the default locations.  The ordered list of search paths on macOS
  is as follows:

    1. `/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin`
    2. `$HOME/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin`
    3. `/Applications/Firefox Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin`
    4. `$HOME/Applications/Firefox Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin`

  Thanks to [Kriti Singh] for this patch.

- Support for application bundle paths on macOS

  It is now possible to pass an application bundle path, such as
  `/Applications/Firefox.app` as argument to the `binary` field in
  [`moz:firefoxOptions`].  This will be automatically resolved to
  the absolute path of the binary when Firefox is started.

  Thanks to [Nupur Baghel] for this patch.

- macOS and Windows builds are signed

  With this release of geckodriver, executables for macOS and Windows
  are signed using the same certificate key as Firefox.  This should
  help in cases where geckodriver previously got misidentified as
  a virus by antivirus software.

### Removed

- Dropped support for legacy Selenium web element references

  The legacy way of serialising web elements, using `{"ELEMENT": <UUID>}`,
  has been removed in this release.  This may break older Selenium
  clients and clients which are otherwise not compatible with the
  WebDriver standard.

  Thanks to [Shivam Singhal] for this patch.

- Removed `--webdriver-port` command-line option

  `--webdriver-port <PORT>` was an undocumented alias for `--port`,
  initially used for backwards compatibility with clients
  prior to Selenium 3.0.0.

### Changed

- Refactored Marionette serialisation

  Much of geckodriver’s internal plumbing for serialising WebDriver
  requests to Marionette messages has been refactored to decrease
  the amount of manual lifting.

  This work should have no visible side-effects for users.

  Thanks to [Nupur Baghel] for working on this throughout her
  Outreachy internship at Mozilla.

- Improved error messages for incorrect command-line usage

### Fixed

- Errors related to incorrect command-line usage no longer hidden

  By mistake, earlier versions of geckodriver failed to print incorrect
  flag use.  With this release problems are again written to stderr.

- Search system path for Firefox binary on BSDs

  geckodriver would previously only search the system path for the
  `firefox` binary on Linux.  Now it supports different BSD flavours
  as well.

## 0.24.0 (2019-01-28, `917474f3473e`)

### Added

- Introduces `strictFileInteractability` capability

  The new capability indicates if strict interactability checks
  should be applied to `<input type=file>` elements.  As strict
  interactability checks are off by default, there is a change
  in behaviour when using [Element Send Keys] with hidden file
  upload controls.

- Added new endpoint `GET /session/{session id}/moz/screenshot/full`
  for taking full document screenshots, thanks to Greg Fraley.

- Added new `--marionette-host <hostname>` flag for binding to a
  particular interface/IP layer on the system.

- Added new endpoint `POST /session/{session_id}/window/new`
  for the [New Window] command to create a new top-level browsing
  context, which can be either a window or a tab. The first version
  of Firefox supporting this command is Firefox 66.0.

- When using the preference `devtools.console.stdout.content` set to
  `true` logging of console API calls like `info()`, `warn()`, and
  `error()` can be routed to stdout.

- geckodriver now sets the `app.update.disabledForTesting` preference
  to prevent Firefox >= 65 from automatically updating whilst under
  automation.

### Removed

- ARMv7 HF builds have been discontinued

  We announced back in September 2018 that we would stop building for ARM,
  but builds can be self-serviced by building from source.

  To cross-compile from another host system, you can use this command:

   % cargo build --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

### Changed

- Allow file uploads to hidden `<input type=file>` elements

  Through a series of changes to the WebDriver specification,
  geckodriver is now aligned with chromedriver’s behaviour that
  allows interaction with hidden `<input type=file>` elements.

  This allows WebDriver to be used with various popular web
  frameworks that—through indirection—hides the file upload control
  and invokes it through other means.

- Allow use of an indefinite script timeout for the [Set Timeouts]
  command, thanks to reimu.

### Fixed

- Corrected `Content-Type` of response header to `utf-8` to fix
  an HTTP/1.1 compatibility bug.

- Relaxed the deserialization of timeouts parameters to allow unknown
  fields for the [Set Timeouts] command.

- Fixed a regression in the [Take Element Screenshot] to not screenshot
  the viewport, but the requested element.

## 0.23.0 (2018-10-03)

This release contains a number of fixes for regressions introduced
in 0.22.0, where we shipped a significant refactoring to the way
geckodriver internally dealt with JSON serialisation.

### Removed

- The POST `/session/{session id}/element/{element id}/tap` endpoint
  was removed, thanks to Kerem Kat.

### Changed

- [webdriver crate] upgraded to 0.38.0.

### Fixed

- `desiredCapabilities` and `requiredCapabilities` are again
  recognised on session creation

  A regression in 0.22.0 caused geckodriver to recognise `desired`
  and `required` instead of the correct `desiredCapabilities`
  and `requiredCapabilities`.  This will have caused significant
  problems for users who relied on this legacy Selenium-style
  session creation pattern.

  Do however note that support for Selenium-styled new session
  requests is temporary and that this will be removed sometime
  before the 1.0 release.

- `duration` field made optional on pause actions

  A regression in 0.22.0 caused the pause action primitive to
  require a `duration` field.  This has now been fixed so that
  pauses in action chains can be achieved with the default duration.

- Log level formatted to expected Marionette input

  A regression in 0.22.0 caused the log level to be improperly
  formatted when using Firefox pre-releases.  This is now fixed so
  that the requested log level is correctly interpreted by Marionette.

- `temporary` field on addon installation made optional

  A regression in 0.22.0 caused the `temporary` field for POST
  `/session/{session id}/moz/addon/install` to be mandatory.  This has
  now been fixed so that an addon is installed permanently by default.

- SHA1s in version information uses limited number of characters

  The SHA1 used in `--version` when building geckodriver from a
  git repository is now limited to 12 characters, as it is when
  building from an hg checkout.  This ensures reproducible builds.

## 0.22.0 (2018-09-15)

This release marks an important milestone on the path towards
a stable release of geckodriver.  Large portions of geckodriver
and the [webdriver] library it is based on has been refactored to
accommodate using [serde] for JSON serialization.

We have also made great strides to improving [WebDriver conformance],
to the extent that geckodriver is now _almost_ entirely conforming
to the standard.

### Added

- Support for WebDriver web element-, web frame-, and web window
  identifiers from Firefox.

- Added support for the non-configurable `setWindowRect` capability
  from WebDriver.

  This capability informs whether the attached browser supports
  manipulating the window dimensions and position.

- A new extension capability `moz:geckodriverVersion` is returned
  upon session creation.

### Changed

- All JSON serialization and deserialisation has moved from
  rustc_serialize to [serde].

- The HTTP status codes used for [script timeout] and [timeout]
  errors has changed from Request Timeout (408) to Internal Server
  Error (500) in order to not break HTTP/1.1 `Keep-Alive` support,
  as HTTP clients interpret the old status code to mean they should
  duplicate the request.

- The HTTP/1.1 `Keep-Alive` timeout for persistent connections  has
  been increased to 90 seconds.

- An [invalid session ID] error is now returned when there is no
  active session.

- An [invalid argument] error is now returned when [Add Cookie]
  is given invalid parameters.

- The handshake when geckodriver connects to Marionette has been
  hardened by killing the Firefox process if it fails.

- The handshake read timeout has been reduced to 10 seconds instead
  of waiting forever.

- The HTTP server geckodriver uses, [hyper], has been upgraded to
  version 0.12, thanks to [Bastien Orivel].

- geckodriver version number is no longer logged on startup, as
  the log level is not configured until a session is created.

  The version number is available through `--version`, and now
  also through a new `moz:geckodriverVersion` field in the matched
  capabilities.

- [webdriver crate] upgraded to 0.37.0.

### Fixed

- Parsing [timeout object] values has been made WebDriver conforming,
  by allowing floats as input.

- Implicit downloads of OpenH264 and Widevine plugins has been disabled.

- The commit hash and date displayed when invoking `--version`
  is now well-formatted when built from an hg repository, thanks to
  [Jeremy Lempereur].

- Many documentation improvements, now published on
  <https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/geckodriver/>.

## 0.21.0 (2018-06-15)

Note that with this release of geckodriver the minimum recommended
Firefox and Selenium versions have changed:

- Firefox 57 (and greater)
- Selenium 3.11 (and greater)

### Added

- Support for the chrome element identifier from Firefox.

- The `unhandledPromptBehavior` capability now accepts `accept and
  notify`, `dismiss and notify`, and `ignore` options.

  Note that the unhandled prompt handler is not fully supported in
  Firefox at the time of writing.

### Changed

- Firefox will now be started with the `-foreground` and `-no-remote`
  flags if they have not already been specified by the user in
  [`moz:firefoxOptions`].

  `-foreground` will ensure the application window gets focus when
  Firefox is started, and `-no-remote` will prevent remote commands
  to this instance of Firefox and also ensure we always start a new
  instance.

- WebDriver commands that do not have a return value now correctly
  return `{value: null}` instead of an empty dictionary.

- The HTTP server now accepts `Keep-Alive` connections.

- Firefox remote protocol command mappings updated.

  All Marionette commands changed to make use of the `WebDriver:`
  prefixes introduced with Firefox 56.

- Overhaul of Firefox preferences.

  Already deprecated preferences in Firefox versions earlier than
  57 got removed.

- [webdriver crate] upgraded to 0.36.0.

### Fixed

- Force use of IPv4 network stack.

  On certain system configurations, where `localhost` resolves to
  an IPv6 address, geckodriver would attempt to connect to Firefox
  on the wrong IP stack, causing the connection attempt to time out
  after 60 seconds.  We now ensure that geckodriver uses IPv4
  consistently to both connect to Firefox and for allocating a free
  port.

- geckodriver failed to locate the correct Firefox binary if it was
  found under a _firefox_ or _firefox-bin_ directory, depending on
  the system, because it thought the parent directory was the
  executable.

- On Unix systems (macOS, Linux), geckodriver falsely reported
  non-executable files as valid binaries.

- When stdout and stderr is redirected by geckodriver, a bug prevented
  the redirections from taking effect.

## 0.20.1 (2018-04-06)

### Fixed

- Avoid attempting to kill Firefox process that has stopped.

  With the change to allow Firefox enough time to shut down in
  0.20.0, geckodriver started unconditionally killing the process
  to reap its exit status.  This caused geckodriver to inaccurately
  report a successful Firefox shutdown as a failure.

  The regression should not have caused any functional problems, but
  the termination cause and the exit status are now reported correctly.

## 0.20.0 (2018-03-08)

### Added

- New `--jsdebugger` flag to open the [Browser Toolbox] when Firefox
  launches.  This is useful for debugging Marionette internals.

- Introduced the temporary, boolean capability
  `moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin` to disable the WebDriver
  conforming behavior of calculating the Pointer Origin.

### Changed

- HTTP status code for the [`StaleElementReference`] error changed
  from 400 (Bad Request) to 404 (Not Found).

- Backtraces from geckodriver no longer substitute for missing
  Marionette stacktraces.

- [webdriver crate] upgraded to 0.35.0.

### Fixed

- The Firefox process is now given ample time to shut down, allowing
  enough time for the Firefox shutdown hang monitor to kick in.

  Firefox has an integrated background monitor that observes
  long-running threads during shutdown.  These threads will be
  killed after 63 seconds in the event of a hang.  To allow Firefox
  to shut down these threads on its own, geckodriver has to wait
  that time and some additional seconds.

- Grapheme clusters are now accepted as input for keyboard input
  to actions.

  Input to the `value` field of the `keyDown` and `keyUp` action
  primitives used to only accept single characters, which means
  geckodriver would error when a valid grapheme cluster was sent in,
  for example with the tamil nadu character U+0BA8 U+0BBF.

  Thanks to Greg Fraley for fixing this bug.

- Improved error messages for malformed capability values.

## 0.19.1 (2017-10-30)

### Changed

- Search suggestions in the location bar turned off as not to
  trigger network connections

- Block addons incompatible with E10s

### Fixed

- Marionette stacktraces are now correctly propagated

- Some error messages have been clarified

### Removed

- Removed obsolete `socksUsername` and `socksPassword` proxy
  configuration keys because neither were picked up or recognised

## 0.19.0 (2017-09-16)

Note that with geckodriver 0.19.0 the following versions are recommended:

- Firefox 55.0 (and greater)
- Selenium 3.5 (and greater)

### Added

- Added endpoint:
  - POST `/session/{session id}/window/minimize` for the [Minimize Window]
    command

- Added preference `extensions.shield-recipe-client.api_url` to disable
  shield studies which could unexpectedly change the behavior of Firefox

- Introduced the temporary, boolean capability `moz:webdriverClick` to
  enable the WebDriver conforming behavior of the [Element Click] command

- Added crashreporter environment variables to better control the browser
  in case of crashes

- Added preference `dom.file.createInChild` set to true to allow file
  object creation in content processes

### Changed

- Log all used application arguments and not only `-marionette`

- Early abort connection attempts to Marionette if the Firefox process
  closed unexpectetly

- Removed deprecated `socksProxyVersion` in favor of `socksVersion`

- Removed `ftpProxyPort`, `httpProxyPort`, `sslProxyPort`, and
  `socksProxyPort` because _ports_ have to be set for `ftpProxy`,
  `httpProxy`, `sslProxy`, and `socksProxy` using ":<PORT>"

- The `proxyType` `noproxy` has been replaced with `direct` in accordance
  with recent WebDriver specification changes

- The [`WindowRectParameters`] have been updated to return signed 32-bit
  integers in accordance with the CSS and WebDriver specifications, and
  to be more liberal with the input types

- Mapped the [`FullscreenWindow`] to the correct Marionette command

- To make sure no browser process is left behind when the [`NewSession`]
  fails, the process is closed immediately now

- `/moz/addon/install` command accepts an `addon` parameter, in lieu of
  `path`, containing an addon as a Base64 string (fixed by [Jason Juang])

- [webdriver crate] upgraded to version 0.31.0

- [mozrunner crate] upgraded to version 0.5.0

### Removed

- Removed the following obsolete preferences for Firefox:
  - `browser.safebrowsing.enabled`
  - `browser.safebrowsing.forbiddenURIs.enabled`
  - `marionette.defaultPrefs.port`
  - `marionette.logging`

## 0.18.0 (2017-07-10)

### Changed

- [`RectResponse`] permits returning floats for `width` and `height`
  fields

- New type [`CookieResponse`] for the [`GetNamedCookie`] command returns
  a single cookie, as opposed to an array of a single cookie

- To pick up a prepared profile from the filesystem, it is now possible
  to pass `["-profile", "/path/to/profile"]` in the `args` array on
  [`moz:firefoxOptions`]

- geckodriver now recommends Firefox 53 and greater

- Version information (`--version`) contains the hash from from the
  commit used to build geckodriver

- geckodriver version logged on startup

- [webdriver crate] upgraded to version 0.27.0

- [mozrunner crate] upgraded to version 0.4.1

### Fixed

- The [`SetTimeouts`] command maps to the Marionette `setTimeouts`
  command, which makes geckodriver compatible with Firefox 56 and greater

- Linux x86 (i686-unknown-linux-musl) builds are fixed

## 0.17.0 (2017-06-09)

### Added

- Added endpoints:
  - POST `/session/{session id}/window/fullscreen` to invoke the window
    manager-specific `full screen` operation
  - POST `/session/{session id}/moz/addon/install` to install an extension
    (Gecko only)
  - POST `/session/{session id}/moz/addon/uninstall` to uninstall an
    extension (Gecko only)

### Changed

- Increasing the length of the `network.http.phishy-userpass-length`
  preference will cause Firefox to not prompt when navigating to a
  website with a username or password in the URL

- Library dependencies upgraded to mozrunner 0.4 and mozprofile 0.3
  to allow overriding of preferences via capabilities if those have been
  already set in the profile

- Library dependencies upgraded to mozversion 0.1.2 to only use the
  normalized path of the Firefox binary for version checks but not to
  actually start the browser, which broke several components in Firefox
  on Windows

### Fixed

- The [SetWindowRect] command now returns the [WindowRectResponse]
  when it is done

- Use ASCII versions of array symbols to properly display them in the
  Windows command prompt

- Use [`SessionNotCreated`] error instead of [`UnknownError`] if there
  is no current session

## 0.16.1 (2017-04-26)

### Fixed

- Read Firefox version number from stdout when failing
  to look for the application .ini file (fixes [Selenium
  #3884](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/3884))

- Session is now ended when closing the last Firefox window (fixes
  [#613](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/613))

## 0.16.0 (2017-04-21)

Note that geckodriver v0.16.0 is only compatible with Selenium 3.4
and greater.

### Added

- Support for WebDriver-conforming [New Session] negotiation, with
  `desiredCapabilities`/`requiredCapabilities` negotiation as fallback

- Added two new endpoints:
  - GET `/session/{session id}/window/rect` for [Get Window Rect]
  - POST `/session/{session id}/window/rect` for [Set Window Rect]

- Align errors with the [WebDriver errors]:
  - Introduces new errors [`ElementClickIntercepted`],
  [`ElementNotInteractable`], [`InvalidCoordinates`], [`NoSuchCookie`],
  [`UnableToCaptureScreen`], and [`UnknownCommand`]
  - Removes `ElementNotVisible` and `InvalidElementCoordinates` errors

### Removed

- Removed following list of unused endpoints:
  - GET `/session/{session id}/alert_text`
  - POST `/session/{session id}/alert_text`
  - POST `/session/{session id}/accept_alert`
  - POST `/session/{session id}/dismiss_alert`
  - GET `/session/{session id}/window_handle`
  - DELETE `/session/{session id}/window_handle`
  - POST `/session/{session id}/execute_async`
  - POST `/session/{session id}/execute`

### Changed

- [`SendKeysParameters`], which is used for the [Element Send Keys] and
  [Send Alert Text] commands, has been updated to take a string `text`
  field

- [`CookieResponse`] and [`CloseWindowResponse`] fixed to be properly
  wrapped in a `value` field, like other responses

- Allow negative numbers for `x` and `y` fields in `pointerMove` action

- Disable Flash and the plugin container in Firefox by
  default, which should help mitigate the “Plugin Container
  for Firefox has stopped working” problems [many users were
  reporting](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/225) when
  deleting a session

- Preferences passed in a profile now take precedence over
  set of default preferences defined by geckodriver (fixed by
  [Marc Fisher](https://github.com/DrMarcII))
  - The exceptions are the `marionette.port` and `marionette.log.level`
    preferences and their fallbacks, which are set unconditionally and
    cannot be overridden

- Remove default preference that disables unsafe CPOW checks

- WebDriver library updated to 0.25.2

### Fixed

- Fix for the “corrupt deflate stream” exception that
  sometimes occurred when trying to write an empty profile by
  [@kirhgoph](https://github.com/kirhgoph)

- Recognise `sslProxy` and `sslProxyPort` entries in the proxy
  configuration object (fixed by [Jason Juang])

- Fix “`httpProxyPort` was not an integer” error (fixed by [Jason
  Juang])

- Fix broken unmarshaling of _Get Timeouts_ response format from Firefox
  52 and earlier (fixed by [Jason Juang])

- Allow preferences in [`moz:firefoxOptions`] to be both positive- and
  negative integers (fixed by [Jason Juang])

- Allow IPv6 hostnames in the proxy configuration object

- i686-unknown-linux-musl (Linux 32-bit) build fixed

- Log messages from other Rust modules are now ignored

- Improved log messages to the HTTPD

## 0.15.0 (2017-03-08)

### Added

- Added routing and parsing for the [Get Timeouts] command

### Changed

- All HTTP responses are now wrapped in `{value: …}` objects per the
  WebDriver specification; this may likely require you to update your
  client library

- Pointer move action’s `element` key changed to `origin`, which
  lets pointer actions originate within the context of the viewport,
  the pointer’s current position, or from an element

- Now uses about:blank as the new tab document; this was previously
  disabled due to [bug 1333736](https://bugzil.la/1333736) in Marionette

- WebDriver library updated to 0.23.0

### Fixed

- Aligned the data structure accepted by the [Set Timeouts] command with
  the WebDriver specification

## 0.14.0 (2017-01-31)

### Changed

- Firefox process is now terminated and session ended when the last
  window is closed

- WebDriver library updated to version 0.20.0

### Fixed

- Stacktraces are now included when the error originates from within
  the Rust stack

- HTTPD now returns correct response headers for `Content-Type` and
  `Cache-Control` thanks to [Mike Pennisi]

## 0.13.0 (2017-01-06)

### Changed

- When navigating to a document with an insecure- or otherwise invalid
  TLS certificate, an [insecure certificate] error will be returned

- On macOS, deducing Firefox’ location on the system will look for
  _firefox-bin_ on the system path (`PATH` environmental variable) before
  looking in the applications folder

- Window position coordinates are allowed to be negative numbers, to
  cater for maximised window positioning on Windows

- WebDriver library updated to version 0.18.0

### Fixed

- Check for single-character key codes in action sequences now counts
  characters instead of bytes

## 0.12.0 (2017-01-03)

### Added

- Added [Take Element Screenshot] command

- Added new [Status] command

- Added routing for the [Get Timeouts] command, but it is not yet
  implemented in Marionette, and will return an _unsupported operation_
  error until it is

- Implemented routing for [new actions API](Actions), but it too is not
  yet fully implemented in Marionette

### Changed

- [Synced Firefox
  preferences](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/commit/2bfdc3ec8151c427a6a75a6ba3ad203459540495)
  with those used in Mozilla automation

- Default log level for debug builds of Firefox, which used to be `DEBUG`,
  changed to `INFO`-level

- WebDriver library dependency upgraded to 0.17.1

- Using _session not created_ error when failing to start session

- geckodriver will exit with exit code 69 to indicate that the port
  is unavailable

### Fixed

- Improved logging when starting Firefox

- Reverted to synchronous logging, which should address cases of
  inconsistent output when failing to bind to port

- Clarified in README that geckodriver is not supported on Windows XP

- Added documentation of supported capabilities to [README]

- Included capabilities example in the [README]

## 0.11.1 (2016-10-10)

### Fixed

- Version number in binary now reflects the release version

## 0.11.0 (2016-10-10)

### Added

- Introduced continuous integration builds for Linux- and Windows 32-bit
  binaries

- Added commands for setting- and getting the window position

- Added new extension commands for finding an element’s anonymous
  children and querying its attributes; accessible through the
  `/session/{sessionId}/moz/xbl/{elementId}/anonymous_children`
  to return all anonymous children and
  `/session/{sessionId}/moz/xbl/{elementId}/anonymous_by_attribute` to
  return an anonymous element by a name and attribute query

- Introduced a [`moz:firefoxOptions`] capability to customise a Firefox
  session:

  - The `binary`, `args`, and `profile` entries on this dictionary
    is equivalent to the old `firefox_binary`, `firefox_args`, and
    `firefox_profile` capabilities, which have now all been removed

  - The `log` capability takes a dictionary such as `{log: "trace"}`
    to enable trace level verbosity in Gecko

  - The `prefs` capability lets you define Firefox preferences through
    capabilities

- Re-introduced the `--webdriver-port` argument as a hidden alias to
  `--port`

### Changed

- `firefox_binary`, `firefox_args`, and `firefox_profile` capabilities
  removed in favour of the [`moz:firefoxOptions`] dictionary detailed above
  and in the [README]

- Removed `--no-e10s` flag, and geckodriver will from now rely on the
  Firefox default multiprocessing settings (override using preferences)

- Disable pop-up blocker in the default profile by @juangj

- Changed Rust compiler version to 1.12 (beta)
  temporarily because of [trouble linking Musl
  binaries](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/34978)

- Replaced _env_logger_ logging facility with the _slog_ package,
  causing the `RUST_LOG` environment variable to no longer have any affect

- Updated the WebDriver Rust library to version 0.15

### Fixed

- Corrected link to repository in Cargo metadata

- Verbosity shorthand flag `-v[v]` now works again, following the
  replacement of the argument parsing library in the previous release

- When the HTTPD fails to start, errors are propagated to the user

- Disabled the additional welcome URL
  (`startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional`) so that officially branded
  Firefox builds do not start with two open tabs in fresh profiles

- Disabled homepage override URL redirection on milestone upgrades,
  which means a tab with an upgrade notice is not displayed when launching
  a new Firefox version

## 0.10.0 (2016-08-02)

### Changed

- Use multi-process Firefox (e10s) by default, added flag `--no-e10s`
  to disable it and removed `--e10s` flag

- Disable autofilling of forms by default by [Sven Jost]

- Replace _argparse_ with _clap_ for arguments parsing

### Fixed

- Attempt to deploy a single file from Travis when making a release

- Grammar fix in [README]

## 0.9.0 (2016-06-30)

### Added

- Add ability to use `firefox_binary` capability to define location of
  Firefox to use

- Automatically detect the default Firefox path if one is not given
