Highlights

- [Playwright for Python](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python) is **now stable** with an idiomatic snake case API and pre-built [Docker image](https://playwright.dev/docs/docker) to run tests in CI/CD.

- [Playwright Inspector](https://playwright.dev/docs/inspector) is a **new GUI tool** to author and debug your tests.
- **Line-by-line debugging** of your Playwright scripts, with play, pause and step-through.
- Author new scripts by **recording user actions**.
- **Generate element selectors** for your script by hovering over elements.
- Set the `PWDEBUG=1` environment variable to launch the Inspector

- **Pause script execution** with [`page.pause()`](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#pagepause) in headed mode. Pausing the page launches [Playwright Inspector](https://playwright.dev/docs/inspector) for debugging.

- **New has-text pseudo-class** for CSS selectors. `:has-text("example")` matches any element containing `"example"` somewhere inside, possibly in a child or a descendant element. See [more examples](https://playwright.dev/docs/selectors#text-selector).

- **Page dialogs are now auto-dismissed** during execution, unless a listener for `dialog` event is configured. [Learn more](https://playwright.dev/docs/dialogs) about this.
