+= Robot Framework 2.8.5 =
+
+Robot Framework 2.8.5 is again not-so-minor minor release. Hopefully the
last one
+before we start 2.9 and move the project away from Google Code.
+
+The most important new features are a new library for date/time conversion
+(issue 415) and the possibility for libraries to automatically register a
+listener (issue 811). The logs also now allow the user to select messages
+fully to ease copying them (issue 1986).
+
+Many thanks to Lionel Perrin for contributing Giving custom seed to
--randomize
+(issue 1673) and Michael Walle for providing Write Control Character
keyword to
+Telnet library (issue 1729).
+
+Robot Framework 2.8.5 was released on Monday 16th of June, 2014.
+
+*NOTE:* Due to Google Code
+[http://google-opensource.blogspot.fi/2013/05/a-change-to-google-code-download-service.html
deprecating
downloads],
+installers have been moved to
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/robotframework/. Running `pip install
robotframework` or `pip install --upgrade robotframework` works exactly
like earlier.
+Also [UserGuide User Guide] version 2.8.5 must be downloaded from a
[http://bit.ly/RF_UG_285 temporary location].
