Hello,

Highlights

* Java / C# / VB.NET / PowerShell / Ruby are now officially supported LDTP
scripting languages other than Python
* Approximately 130 APIs are compatible with Linux version of LDTP
* C# client is compatible with Mono .NET framework and we have tested it on
Linux/Mac
* Identify object name based on automation id (window id, as per SilkTest
users)
* i18n support
* CPU / Memory logging
* Remote test execution

New features:

* List / Tree item API's are added
* Scroll to the element if the respective pattern is enabled
* Added new characters in keyboard input
* Object lookup based on wildcard("?")
* Double click on allowed object's
* Added hyper link widget type under known objects

New APIs:

* getwindowsize
* simulatemousemove
* gettablerowindex
* getobjectnameatcoords
* onwindowcreate (Java/C# client)
* removecallback (Java/C# client)
* mouserightclick

Bug fixes:

* Taskbar is now identified as pane, rather than ukn
* generatemouseevent API now takes the optional argument, compatible with
Linux
* Fixed a crash, if the window title has back slash
* Grabing focus on combobox element fails the object selection, removed the
respective code
* Ignore special characters while searching object name
* Fix regexp in object lookup
* getcellvalue API now takes the optional argument, compatible with Linux
* Handle task manager menuitem, which worked slightly different than other
menu
* Fixed listing sub-menus with a simplified method
* getcellvalue API now as the Linux version
* getchild API now returns appropriate output
* Fixed *window APIs to work with different types of window
* Fixed mouse left click on a text widget

Credit:
* John Yingjun Li (VMware) have contributed most of the code in this
release. I really appreciate all his effort
* VMware colleagues
* Thanks to all others who have reported bugs through forum / email /
in-person / IRC

Please spread the word and also share your feedback with us.
