Details

• The ScrollsTo interface was marked deprecated and it is going to be removed in the next release
  I think it has no reasons to support them anymore. It is recommended to use instead:
  • io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver#swipe(int, int, int, int, int)
  • io.appium.java_client.MobileElement#swipe(SwipeElementDirection, int)
  • io.appium.java_client.MobileElement#swipe(SwipeElementDirection, int, int, int)
  • io.appium.java_client.MobileBy.ByAndroidUIAutomator or io.appium.java_client.MobileBy.ByIosUIAutomation
• The refactoring of MobileBy. This doesn't affect user's project.
  • all copied&pasted code was removed/wrapped inside methods and constructors
  • now everything looks systemically and not raw.
• The redesign of Android tests
  • ScrollTest was removed
  • tests which check scrolling locators were added to AndroidElementTest and AndroidSearchingTest
• The redesign of iOS tests
  • IOSScrollTest was removed
  • IOSScrollingSearchingTest was added instead
