I used it last summer and had some problems with it but I see that a "patch king" has been added to the team and "added new energy to the project" for the new release.

I'm just wondering if anyone has tried the new version.

use http unit in java instead. Same idea mo flava (more mature).

SOme things to watch out for in these types of programs in general:

name your html conrols, it is a pain in the ass digging out

form.getbutton(3).press

is button according to its order on the page, changed your UI and you are screwed!!!.

2 rely on tests that can be verified with data not formatting, i.e. (despite what the rhino api claims), you are better off not doing javascript based tests (use an automated input manual verify technique with "autoit" or something like it).
