SeleniumLibrary is a web testing library for Robot Framework that utilizes the Selenium tool internally. SeleniumLibrary 4.1.0rc1 is a new release with making URL argument optional in Open Browser keyword and allowing configuring how Click Element clicks the element. There are two major fixes in the release, Table Keywords searched elements also outside of the table and if output directory contained { and } characters the Open Browser and Capture * Screenshot keywords would fail.
All issues targeted for SeleniumLibrary v4.1.0 can be found from the issue tracker.
If you have pip installed, just run
pip install --pre --upgrade robotframework-seleniumlibrary
to install the latest available release or use
pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary==4.1.0rc1
to install exactly this version. Alternatively you can download the source distribution from PyPI and install it manually.
SeleniumLibrary 4.1.0rc1 was released on Sunday October 13, 2019. SeleniumLibrary supports Python 2.7 and 3.5+, Selenium 3.8.2 and Robot Framework 3.0.4 and 3.1.2.
"Table Should Contain" does not work properly (#1482, rc 1)
The Table Header Should Contain , Table Footer Should Contain and Table Should Contain keywords also searched from whole page and not only from the table. This also caused performance hit, if the page contained lots of elements.
Many thanks for Pawci3oo spotting the problem.
Drop Python 3.4 support in SeleniumLibrary 4.1 (#1409, rc 1)
SeleniumLibrary 4.1 has dropped support for Python 3.4, because Python 3.4 is in end of life.
SeleniumLibrary aims to raise minimum supported Python 3.6 and it is likely next major release drops support for Python 3.5. At least Python 3.5 support is dropped when Python 3.5 reaches end of life in 2020.

Should have an ActionChain click for Click Element keyword (#1463, rc 1)
Click Element now also supports clicking element with ActionChain click. This is configurable option in the keyword and must be enabled with the action_chain argument.

Users should not be required to define a URL to Open Browser keyword. (#1464, rc 1)
The url argument is not optional in the Open Browser keyword. This helps users who do not want to navigate browser when the browser is opened.
