SeleniumLibrary 6.4.0 is a new release with enhancements around driver configuration and logging, printing pages as pdf, and some bug fixes. SeleniumLibrary supports Python 3.8 through 3.11, Selenium 4.16.0 through 4.21.0 and
Robot Framework 5.0.1, 6.1.1 and 7.0.

Most important enhancements

Add new selenium 4 print page as PDF functionality (#1824)
The print page as pdf functionality within Selenium 4 has been added into SeleniumLibrary
with a new keyword. See the keyword documentation for usage.

Add driver Service Class into Open Browser (#1900)
Selenium has shifted from a couple arguments for configuring the driver settings into the new
Service class. As with the options argument these changes allows for service class to be set
using a simlar string format. More information can be found in the Open Browser keyword
documentation and newly rearranged Introduction.

Add warning about frame deselection when using Page Should Contain keyword. (#1894)
In searching through the page, the Page Should Contain keyword will select and search
through frames. Thus it silently changes the frame context. Added warning within the keyword
documentation noting as such.

Wrong Type Hint on some keywords. (#1880)
Several type hints on locator arguments denoted the argument allowed for none when indeed
they did not. This corrects those type hints.

Deprecated features

Start Deprecation and Removal of Selenium2Library (deep) references/package (#1826)
Removed references and instructions regarding Selenium2Library; moving some to an archived
VERSIONS.rst top level documentation.
