What's New in earlier versions

This section provides an overview of the features that were introduced or enhanced in previous versions of Sprinter.

What's new in 25.2

Version 25.2 introduced:

  • A redesigned login page. You now select the application you are using to connect, and then enter login details based on the selected application.

  • In previous versions of Sprinter, although Java Runtime Environment (JRE) was included in the installation, a standalone JRE was required to work with Java technology. This has been fixed in the current release, so you can now use the JRE that is bundled with the Sprinter installation to run tests with Java.
