What's New

Windows Desktop app automation - Karate Robot - also see the detailed install guide
Revamped HTML report (see video)
Intercept browser HTTP requests in Chrome (see video)
configure callSingleCache - so that you don't need to wait for a "sign-in flow", every time you re-run a test in dev mode
driver.inputFile() - Chrome-native file-upload
WebDriver support for the new (Chromium based) Microsoft Edge browser
Improved tree walking in UI tests, e.g. locateAll(), parent, children etc.
Multiple mock files can be combined into one at run-time (thanks @michaelpro1)
CLI testing support ! See this thread for details
match can finally be used in JS with all the power you normally have in feature files, see this thread and some extras to introspect object / data types within JS blocks
contains deep for recursive nested JSON matching (see example)

Breaking Changes

match contains will not recurse nested items any more, use contains deep as explained above
karate.stop() now takes a mandatory port number argument, so you can call the same (static) cURL command to resume, e.g. curl localhost:8080
exists() API refactored for UI tests, see this thread for details
a match with a primitive number on the right-hand-side could incorrectly pass, this should be very rare - see this thread for details
again extremely unlikely and rare, but a backslash (\) character was getting swallowed in doc-string (triple-quote) sections, so in case you were escaping them, you don't need to any more (commit details)
