Selenium 4.18 Released!

We’re very happy to announce the release of Selenium 4.18.0 and 4.18.1 for Javascript, Ruby, Python, .NET, Java and the Grid! Links to everything can be found on our downloads page.

Highlights

• Chrome DevTools support is now: v120, v121, and v122 (Firefox still uses v85 for all versions)
• Selenium Manager records usage has been decreased to reduce impact on users.
• Chrome headless changed the name of the browser to reflect that it is not actually chrome; Selenium now handles this seamlessly, but you should still switch to --headless=new (see: Headless is going away)

Noteworthy changes per language

• Java
  • Enabling Grid to use self-signed certificate for debugging
  • Added explicit target locator events to the listener support classes in WebDriverListener.
  • Add missing event handlers for TargetLocator interface in WebDriverListener.
