Browser Versions

Chromium 84.0.4117.0
Mozilla Firefox 76.0b5
WebKit 13.0.4

Highlights

Common areas such as working with elements, filling a form and many more are now covered in the documentation section.
Built-in css and text selectors now pierce open shadow roots.
page.press(selector, key[, options]) now supports shortcuts such as Control+Shift+T.
Many input actions like page.click(selector[, options]) now automatically retry when the target element has been detached, for example if it was replaced at the end of an animation.
Playwright now provides API for capturing logs, see the Logger class.

Breaking API Changes

dumpio parameter is gone. Debug logging is now configured via the environment:

DEBUG=pw:browser* node test.js

There are more loggers, use pw:* to pick the ones you like.
For more complex scenarios you can use the logger sink in the launch / create context apis.

page.on('filechooser') event now dispatches instances of a FileChooser class.
Actions that automatically wait for the navigation like page.click(selector[, options]) no longer have an option waitUntil to specify a load state. In the rare cases when this is needed, consider using page.waitForLoadState([state[, options]]) method.
networkidle2 option is removed. networkidle0 is an alias to networkidle.

New API
