28+
- **Grid UI Enhancements**: New sorting options by Platform, Status, and ID, session timeout display, and WebSocket connection management for better performance and user experience.
29+
- **CI/CD Pipeline Improvements**: Numerous updates for CI workflows, such as artifact handling and new testing configurations, to boost stability and developer productivity.

## Project Highlights
149+
150+
This year marks a monumental milestone—20 years of Selenium transforming browser automation!
151+
Since its inception as a modest open-source project, Selenium has grown into the world’s most
152+
trusted tool for web automation, powering testing and development for countless users globally.
153+
From revolutionizing open-source collaboration to shaping automation practices, Selenium has
154+
impacted developers, testers, and organizations worldwide.
155+
156+
To honor this journey, the Selenium team hosted a special webinar on October 28th, 2024, where
157+
the leadership team shared insights on Selenium’s evolution, the latest advancements in WebDriver
158+
BiDi, and exciting prospects for the future. If you’d like to learn more about Selenium’s
159+
incredible journey and future plans, head to the official blog post
