Release History

2.0.0 (2026-06-04)

Breaking Changes

  • context.fixtures is now automatically isolated per Behave scope (feature, rule, scenario): fixtures loaded in one scenario no longer leak into the next. Fixtures set in before_all(), before_feature() or before_rule() still propagate to nested scopes. The manual context.fixtures = [] reset is no longer needed.

Features and Improvements

  • Cover Django 6.0, drop Python 3.9 and Django 4.2, 5.0 and 5.1
  • Document how to configure a custom LiveServerTestCase host for remote browsers
  • Add unit tests for the pageobject module

Bugfixes
