# chromote 0.2.0

## Breaking changes

* Breaking change: `Chromote$is_active()` method now reports if there is an active connection to the underlying chrome instance, rather than whether or not that instance is alive (#94).

## Improvements and bug fixes

* `Chromote` and `ChromoteSession` gain print methods to give you a snapshot of the most important values (#140).

* `Chromote` gains a new `is_alive()` method equivalent to the old `is_active()` method; i.e. it reports on if there is an active chrome process running in the background (#136).

* `ChromoteSession` now records the `targetId`. This eliminates one round-trip to the browser when viewing or closing a session. You can now call the `$respawn()` method if a session terminates and you want to reconnect to the same target (#94).

* `ChromoteSession$screenshot()` gains an `options` argument that accepts a list of additional options to be passed to the Chrome Devtools Protocol's [`Page.captureScreenshot` method](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Page/#method-captureScreenshot) (#129).

* `ChromoteSession$screenshot()` will now infer the image format from the `filename` extension. Alternatively, you can specify the `format` in the list passed to `options` (#130).

* `--disable-gpu` is no longer included in the default Chrome arguments, except on windows where empirically it appears to be necessary (otherwise GHA check runs never terminate) (#142).

# chromote 0.1.2

* Fixed #109: An error would occur when a `Chromote` object's `$close()` method was called. (#110)

* Fixed #99: When the `$view()` method was called, recent versions of Chrome would display `"Debugging connection was closed. Reason: WebSocket disconnected"`. (#101)

* Fixed #89, #91: `find_chrome()` now checks more possible binary names for Chrome or Chromium on Linux and Mac. (thanks @brianmsm and @rossellhayes, #117)

* Fixed #22: Added a new `chromote.timeout` global option that can be used to set the timeout (in seconds) for establishing connections with the Chrome session. (#120)
