SeleniumLibrary 4.1.0

SeleniumLibrary_ is a web testing library for `Robot Framework`_ that utilizes
10+
the Selenium_ tool internally. SeleniumLibrary 4.1.0 is a new release with
11+
making URL argument optional in Open Browser keyword and allowing configuring
12+
how Click Element keyword clicks the element. There are two major fixes in the
13+
release, Table related keywords did search elements also outside of the table
14+
and if output directory contained { and } characters the Open Browser and Capture *
15+
Screenshot keywords would fail.
16+
17+
18+
All issues targeted for SeleniumLibrary v4.1.0 can be found
19+
from the `issue tracker`_.
20+

34+

35+
36+

Most important enhancements
52+
===========================
53+
54+
"Table Should Contain" does not work properly (`#1482`_, rc 1)
55+
--------------------------------------------------------------
56+
The Table Header Should Contain , Table Footer Should Contain and Table Should Contain
57+
keywords also searched from whole page and not only from the table. This also caused
58+
performance hit, if the page contained lots of elements.
59+
60+
Many thanks for Pawci3oo spotting the problem.
61+
62+
Drop Python 3.4 support in SeleniumLibrary 4.1 (`#1409`_, rc 1)
63+
---------------------------------------------------------------
64+
SeleniumLibrary 4.1 has dropped support for Python 3.4, because Python 3.4 is in
65+
end of life.
66+
67+
SeleniumLibrary aims to raise minimum supported Python 3.6 and it is likely next
68+
major release drops support for Python 3.5. At least Python 3.5 support is dropped
69+
when Python 3.5 reaches end of life in 2020.
70+

Acknowledgements
72+
================
73+
74+
Update Open Browser keyword documentation to better demonstrate how to use Selenium options (`#1461`_, rc 1)
75+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
76+
Open Browser keyword documentation was updated to provide better examples how to use
77+
Selenium Options. Many thanks to JonKoser for providing the PR.
78+
79+
Should have an ActionChain click for Click Element keyword (`#1463`_, rc 1)
80+
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
81+
Click Element now also supports clicking element with ActionChain click. This is
82+
configurable option in the keyword and must be enabled with the action_chain argument.
83+
84+
Many thanks to JonKoser for providing the PR.
85+
86+
Users should not be required to define a URL to Open Browser keyword. (`#1464`_, rc 1)
87+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
88+
The url argument is not optional in the Open Browser keyword. This helps users who
89+
do not want to navigate browser when the browser is opened.
90+
91+
Many thanks to JonKoser for providing the PR.
