Watir Development Gem 1.5.1.1136 Released

It's been a while since the last development gem was uploaded. We now have a new watir gem - version 1.5.1.1136. Changes in this release:

  • Fix for intermittent crashes occuring when using Watir with Ruby version > 1.8.2.
  • Fix for http://jira.openqa.org/browse/WTR-86
    This fix prevents the Watir-modified win32ole.so library (compiled against 1.8.2) from being used.
  • Added Element#parent
  • Add new methods Element#after? and Element#before?
  • Added support for relative specifiers. E.g.:
    link = $ie.link(:class => 'addtocart', :after? => @headline)
  • Removed NAVIGATION_CHECKER from Watir.rb, added to contrib. This fixes rdoc generation and stops the frame access exception being thrown in the default installation.
