Selenium: State of the Union

" summary

Selenium 3 ships a beta at the conference and removes the old JavaScript Selenium Core is gone, keeping WebDriver as a drop-in replacement so existing WebDriver tests and Grid keep working. Legacy RC tests run via a new legacy package that emulates RC, but emulation is imperfect for complex JavaScript extensions so some tests need tweaks. The standalone server is reworked, browser vendors ship native drivers (Chrome, Marionette for Firefox, Safari, Edge), and work continues to finish the W3C WebDriver spec for Selenium 4.
