• The procedure qfs.autowin.acrobat.saveAsText now automatically handles the protected mode warnings by clicking "Enable all functions".
• By using the new method resolvers.addSpecificExtraFeatureMatcher to register an ExtraFeatureMatcher with the resolvers module, the feature name can be specified at registration time.

Bugs Fixed:

• A possible NumberFormatException - introduced in QF-Test 4.1.3 - for batch mode execution with -verbose [<level>] has been fixed.
• In some cases using the advanced replace dialog to replace the regular expression .* with an empty string could lead to an exception or to table entries being deleted without confirmation.
• TestLink import scripts could have been broken in case of unicode characters in test-case names of TestLink.
• When text containing double quotes got pasted from the system clipboard to variables or any other table, the double quotes could get lost.
• When determining extra feature qfs:label for ComboBox, Spinner or Slider components, the tool tip could mistakenly get used instead of the nearest label.
• The @rerun doctag was not properly evaluated in a node with additional lines in the comment.
• The command line argument -plugindir <directory> was ignored in batch mode.
• Selecting a component via the chooser might create an explicit reference, even though the component was part of an included test-suite.
• Explicit component references within the local test-suite were not taken into account when looking for unused components.
• Analyzing references of relative test-calls didn't work correctly.
• Duration and realtime are now updated correctly when merging run-logs.
• In case the fallback library for Jython version 2.5 is installed, the Jython package cache now gets activated by default as it was in QF-Test version 4.0.
• If the option "Intelligent scrolling in trees" was deactivated, there were cases when the selected node was not scrolled visible in the tree at all, e.g. after a search or when entering the debugger.
• In some cases custom mappings of classes were not taken into account for testing with AJAX resolvers.
• The libraries required for hardware accelerated graphics in the embedded Chrome browser were removed again, because they could cause a crash when opening a popup window.
• Caching of non-standard attributes in the embedded Chrome browser was broken in QF-Test version 4.1.3, which could lead to component recognition issues in special cases.
• Many debug messages from GeckoDriver and Mozilla Marionette are now filtered from the shared terminal.
• In some cases clearing the browser cache during startup could cause Edge to hang for up to several minutes.
• The entry for showing available methods was missing from the menu for JavaFX component recording.
