playwright_dart 2.1.0

A complete Dart port of Playwright — fast, reliable browser automation for Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with full API parity to Node.js v1.60.0.

2.1.0

• Feature: Officially exposed onWorker and onDownload events on the Page API, giving access to Worker and Artifact components.
• Bug Fix: Fixed a critical crash in APIRequestContext.fetch() and Playwright.newRequest() preventing raw HTTP requests from working.
• Documentation: Emphasized that Node.js is automatically bundled by the driver downloader, requiring zero manual installation by users for a seamless out-of-the-box experience.

2.0.0

• Feature (Breaking): Introduced autoClose behavior to emulate Node.js driver lifecycle patterns. Playwright Dart now automatically closes the driver process when the last browser is closed. Set autoClose: false in PlaywrightDart.create() to disable this behavior and manage the lifecycle manually.
• Feature: Added WebSocket CDP connection support (connectOverCDP) for integrating with remote providers like Browserless.
• Documentation: Substantial inline API documentation added across all core modules to improve auto-completion and Developer Experience.
