Robot Framework 3.0.2 is the second minor release in the Robot Framework 3.0.x series. The main motivation for this releases is fixing a performance regression with evaluating expressions using some BuiltIn keywords occurring since RF 2.9 (2523), but there are also few other fixes and several nice enhancements. For more details about the features and fixes see the [full release notes](https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/doc/releasenotes/rf-3.0.2.rst).

Robot Framework 3.0.1 fixes several higher and lower level bugs in the earlier releases, and also adds some really nice enhancements. The most important new features are the ability to limit parsing of test case files to a certain file type (e.g. `--extension robot`, 2365) and case-insensitivity support added to most comparison keywords in the BuiltIn library (2439). Robot Framework also now officially supports [PyPy](http://pypy.org), an alternative and in some contexts faster and more memory efficient implementation of the Python language (#2513).
