ReleaseNotes23
SeleniumLibrary 2.3.1 was released 2010-03-10.
The most important thing in the release is the upgrade of the embedded Selenium Server to version 1.0.3, to fix Issue 60 and Issue 99. The 1.0.3 version of Selenium Server is three times the size of 1.0.1, which means that SeleniumLibrary distribution also triples it's size, from ~5MB to ~15MB.
In addition to server upgrade some minor enhancements and bug fixes are included.
Thanks to everyone who submitted or commented on issues. Special thanks to Andreas Ebbert-Karroum for sending patch to fix Issue 98 and to user jerry57 for testing Issue 60.

SeleniumLibrary 2.3 was released 2010-02-15.
The original plan was to have just a 2.2.3 minor release, but the high interest for new keywords and other enhancements/fixes turned this into a new major release.
Radek Wierzbicki provided a patch to support custom element location strategies (Issue 59), and wrote a wiki page about how to use this new Add Location Strategy keyword to enable jQuery selectors. He has also written about this subject in his blog.
Andreas Ebbert-Karroum created the original patch to support remote screenshots (Issue 89), and helped testing also the new Capture Page Screenshot keyword (Issue 93). He is probably just happy that his earlier blog post about remote screenshots with SeleniumLibrary 2.2 is nowadays slightly outdated and taking remote screenshots works out-of-the-box.
Kai Hackemesser debugged a nasty socket leak problem on Jython (Issue 79) that turned out to be a bug in the Selenium RC Python API (issue 817 in the Selenium RC issue tracker). Kai also wrote the original patch fixing the issue.
Big thanks also to everyone else who submitted code, bug reports, feature requests, or otherwise helped making this great release.
Support for attribute syntax inherited from PamieLibrary (the previous web testing library for Robot Framework what was never open source) was removed (Issue 58). It had already been deprecated in the 2.2 release.
