v18

v18.4.8

Release date: April 28, 2021

Bug fixes

• When using UI Automation v18.4.x with Studio 2021.4, working with the Indicate Element and Repair features caused multiple Selector Editor windows to be opened.
• When using UI Automation v18.4.x with Studio 2021.4, after using Indicate Element or Indicate Anchor, UI Explorer would remain minimized and could not be brought to the foreground.
• In projects created with Studio v2018.4.2 and UI Automation v18.4.2, activities that made use of selectors when working with Internet Explorer might have not worked correctly after upgrading the Robot to v2020.10.4.
• The Click Image activity did not use the values specified in the Timeout and WaitForReady property fields.
• The Attach Browser activity did not switch focus to a tab when the webpage in that tab was a frameset.

v18.4.7

Release date: June 2, 2020

v18.4.5 - Bug fixes

v18.4.4

Release date: February 27, 2019

Improvements

One of the main improvements brought by the v18.4.4 UI Automation package is the support for UIA selectors in Edge.

Breaking changes

• The Extract Structured Data activity does not return any data when used with Java applications v1.3 to v1.6. Please note that this can cause a breaking change and it is recommended to upgrade Java to a newer version.

Bug fixes

• The Click activity would often inaccurately detect web page elements that were not in view.

v18.3.6962.28967

Release date: January 23, 2019

Improvements

To ensure backward compatibility, the HtmlWindowName attribute in html tags is now ignored when UI elements are selected in pop-up windows in Internet Explorer.

A few steps need to be performed if you want to use a different UI Automation package, and you can read more about it here.

v18.4.3

Release date: January 10, 2019

Improvements

This new year brings two more languages in the entire UiPath Platform - French and Russian. Since we laid down the foundations of localization in our previous release, we are continuing our efforts in bringing you a more immersive experience and lowering the language barrier bit by bit.

v18.4.2

Release date: December 7, 2018

Improvements

With Citrix environments being so popular, we are further extending automation capabilities with native support for Citrix XenApps. To benefit from this, the UI Automation package must be installed, along with the Citrix Remote Runtime.

Also, the Dark Theme is now available, in its beta version, on all of the activities and wizards in this package.

Breaking changes

• The HtmlWindowName attribute in html tags was ignored when UI elements were selected in pop-up windows in Internet Explorer. As a result, selectors were incomplete, causing actions to be performed on the parent window instead. Please note that processes created with the UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities v18.3.6962.28967 package ignore the HtmlWindowName attribute in selectors, while v2018.4.2 does not. This might affect process execution and you should manually update them.

v18.3.6897.22543

Release date: November 20, 2018

Breaking changes

• The HtmlWindowName attribute in html tags was ignored when UI elements were selected in pop-up windows in Internet Explorer. As a result, selectors were incomplete, causing actions to be performed on the parent window instead. Please note that processes created with the UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities v18.3.6962.28967 package ignore the HtmlWindowName attribute in selectors, while v18.3.6897.22543 does not. This might affect process execution and you should manually update them.

v18.3.6877.28298

Release date: October 31, 2018

Improvements

The UiPath.Core.Activities package is now split into two distinct packages: UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities and UiPath.System.Activities. The first contains all the activities that mimic human interaction, such as Click or Type Into, while the latter sums up all the blocks required for building an automation, from invoking another workflow to logging a custom message in Orchestrator.

This change was made so that both in present and future versions, you can reference any version of the UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities and UiPath.System.Activities packages as dependencies for your projects, completely independent of Studio. This is a step forward for being able to update UiPath Platform components without worrying about how they affect your automations.

v2018.2

Release date: May 22, 2018

Improvements

We've added a new Continue activity to the Core package. It enables you to streamline conditions inside a For Each loop, without nesting If activities, by skipping iterations.

Four new activities have been created for the enhanced manipulation of DataTable variables:

• Lookup Data Table - Modeled after the Excel VLOOKUP function, it searches for relative cell values in a data table.
• Filter Data Table - Enables you to select filtering conditions for a data table with the help of a wonderful wizard.
• Sort Data Table - Sorts a data table in ascending or descending order based on the values in an indicated column.
• Remove Duplicate Rows - Removes the duplicate rows from a specified `DataTable variable.
