5. Release Notes for QF-Test 5.0.3

New Features

• QF-Test now supports tests for applications based on Eclipse/SWT 4.16 alias « 2020-06 ».
• The included jsch.jar library used by the qfs.utils.ssh package in the standard library qfs.qft has been updated to version 0.1.55 in order to add support for modern Linux systems like Ubuntu 20.

Bugs Fixed

• The included WebP image compression library was rolled back to version 1.0.0 to avoid incompatibilities.
• Component recognition might have failed when web components had non-integer sizes.
• In rare cases calling rc.callProcedure inside the parameters of a ‘Procedure call‘ node could lead to the global variables in the variable stack getting lost.
• The special syntax ${qftest:engine.} that can be used to determine the engine of a component now also works if contains a ‘@’, ‘%’ or ‘&’ character.
• Selecting a single value in a run-log’s error list and using « Set value as filter » twice caused an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
