RPA Recorder 6.5.0 Release Notes

RPA Recorder enables you to record a business process for automation.

To take advantage of all new features, improvements, and bug fixes, ensure that you are using the latest version of each RPA application.

November 28, 2023

What’s New

  • The Retake option is now shown as a button in a dropdown. Using the Retake option, you can delay the screen freeze for capturing image-based mouse clicks. This assists with preparing collapsible menus and hidden elements before the screen capture freezes. User and mouse actions are not recorded during the delay.

  • You can now set the initial screen freeze delay directly from the image-based mouse clicks toolbar.

  • When recording a Web Task, the selected area now has a red border.

  • RPA Recorder now always generates an RPARecorder subfolder during installation.

  • RPA Recorder now uses TLSv1.3 by default, and HTTP is now disabled for all API requests.

  • When recording in Notepad++, long window titles and name attributes are now truncated in the Documentation section of the RPA Recording Editor.

  • The Settings UI and Log files panels are updated, as well as the Manual Activity and Comment dialogs.

Other Important Changes

  • The attribute selection panel is no longer enabled and cannot be expanded or collapsed when recording image-based mouse clicks in a Web Task. After the image-based mouse clicks recording is finished, the panel can be opened.

  • Upon completion of recording image-based mouse clicks for a Web or Bot Task, a message now appears to indicate recording has been resumed.

  • When recording image-based mouse clicks in a Web Task, the browser window cannot be minimized, and the address bar and buttons are no longer enabled in the browser window.
