`RIDE (Robot Framework
4+
IDE) <https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/>`__ v2.2.3 is a new
5+
release with some enhancements and bug fixes. The reference for valid
6+
arguments is `Robot Framework <https://robotframework.org/>`__
7+
current version, 7.4.2. However, internal library code is originally
8+
based on version 3.1.2, but adapted for new versions.
9+
10+
- This version supports Python 3.9 up to 3.14.
11+
- There are some changes, or known issues:
12+
13+

14+
finding all occurrences. Please, double-check findings and
15+
changes.
16+

Text Editors and validation errors (e.g. missing END).
18+
- 🐞 - In Grid Editor, private keywords defined in test suites

with **Name** setting, will show with error color even if used
20+
correctly in another local keyword.
21+
- 🐞 - RIDE **DOES NOT KEEP** Test Suites formatting or
22+
structure, causing differences in files when used on other IDE
23+
or Editors. The option to not reformat the file is not working.
24+
- 🐞 - In Grid Editor, when showing settings, scrolling down with
25+
mouse or using down is not working. You can change to Text
26+
Editor and back to Grid Editor, to restore normal behavior.
27+
- 🐞 - In Files Explorer, when in floating window, the files tree
28+
is not always using all available space. Do a small resize of
29+
window to redraw.
30+
- 🐞 - The Test Suites Explorer, may be visible or hidden with
31+
F12, or toggled floating/docked, but content may disappear. You
32+
should try to make it reappear by toggling Files Explorer, F11,
33+
or by editing **settings.cfg**.
34+
35+
