Robot Framework 7.2 beta 1 has been released! 🎁

1

Robot Framework 7.2 is a feature release with JSON output support, GROUP syntax for grouping keywords and control structures, new Libdoc technology including translations, and various other features and fixes. This beta release contains most of the planned features, but some changes are still possible before the release candidate. For more details about everything that’s new and changed, see the release notes.

We kindly ask the community to test this beta release to help us iron out regressions before the final release that’s planned for early 2025. We especially hope that tool developers would test the release to see are there API changes that they need to take into account or that we possibly should revert. If you are a library developer, testing how the totally rewritten Libdoc’s HTML output works with your library would be especially valuable.

Talking about Libdoc, this release makes it possible to localize HTML outputs it produces. We haven’t yet got too many translations, but we can still add them. If you’d like a language you care about to be included, see the instructions how to add them and ask help on the #devel channel on our Slack if needed.

Remember that installing this release literally requires only

or an equivalent command depending on your package manager.
