VMware Server 1.0.3 and Shared Folders

with 6 comments

Watir 1.5.2 released

without comments

I came back from a long vacation, and what a surprise. Watir 1.5.2 is out!

According to RubyForge, it was over two years since the last major update (1.4.1). There were a lot of minor updates in the meantime, and you could always get the latest source.

Take a look at the official release post at Watir wiki.
