1. brand new shiny editor: All new editor with easy to use interface. Much more simplified from the previous versions of the editor. See screenshot!.
   New features include:
   • Nicer editing featues
   • Shows status of the current step when running the recording by adding a >> at the begining of the step in the editor
   • "Run Status" tab on the right pane of the editor shows the status of the player/recorder, status of the datasets and variables
     
   • "Debug" tab provides easy way to run javascript on the page, build a xpath and try it out before running the actual command
     
2. execute-js action: execute random javascript during execution of the script. This would help developers work around some quirks of firefox and testgen4web. eg: http://developer.spikesource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=865
3. assert-text with xpath: this action until now was pretty much ignored. Now the user has an option to select where to assert the text. There are 2 ways
   • * as xpath will search the entire page
   • specify an actual xpath will search in that area
4. detachable bar: you don't have to be thethered to the main window anymore. detach the testgen4web toolbar and keep it on the side for editing long recordings easily.
5. Simple xpath support: Now you can record with simple xpath. This xpath generating script will be complete xpath (NOTE: that your recording might break if simple things on your webpagee changes. I would still recommend that you use the 'smart xpath' option.
