- Added Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) v96 support and removed older v92/v93 across all language bindings, updating generated CDP docs and bindings.
- Introduced new WebDriver capabilities: form‑submit support in W3C mode, ShadowRoot return from executeScript, retry HTTP request filter, and improved Edge IE‑mode handling (temp folder, tab closing, quit behavior).
- Implemented numerous bug fixes and refactors: IE driver crashes, XPath crash, CDP dom‑mutation stability, cookie constructors refactor, updated pinned browser versions, and extensive documentation and test updates.
