Thanks for getting this out Charley. This release represents about a year of work on bug releases and incremental improvements to Watir's support for both Firefox and IE. For complete details, see http://github.com/bret/watir/blob/master/watir/NEWCHANGES
I'm really glad that Charley agreed to take the lead in getting this release out the door. Big thanks also go to Jari Bakken, who provided numerous fixes. Other contributors to this release include Angrez Singh, Derek Berner, Rob Alred, Željko Filipin, Jarmo Pertman, Aidy Lewis, Alan Baird and many others. (If you made contributions to this release, but did not get credited, please let me or Charley know and we'll update the release notes right away.)
