Browser Versions
- Chromium 84.0.4131.0
- Mozilla Firefox 76.0b5
- WebKit 13.0.4
Highlights
- Playwright now uses a single location on your machine to install all browsers. See [documentation](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v0.16.0/docs/installation.md) for details.
Breaking API Changes
- Method [`page.waitFor`](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v0.15.0/docs/api.md#pagewaitforselectororfunctionortimeout-options-arg) is removed. Use explicitly named methods such as [`page.waitForSelector`](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v0.16.0/docs/api.md#pageselector), [`page.waitForFunction`](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v0.16.0/docs/api.md#pagewaitforfunctionpagefunction-arg-options) and [`page.waitForTimeout`](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v0.16.0/docs/api.md#pagewaitfortimeouttimeout).
- The `'mutation'` polling option for methods like [`page.waitForSelector`](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v0.16.0/docs/api.md#pageselector) is removed since it didn't work properly with Shadow DOM.
New APIs
- [`page.waitForTimeout`](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v0.16.0/docs/api.md#pagewaitfortimeouttimeout)
