December 2024: Delivered core Visual Testing capabilities for Espresso via the new Espresso Visual Testing SDK, including UI snapshotting improvements, robust DOM capture, and an accessibility dumper, with documentation alignment. Improved release pipeline reliability by defaulting releases to patch, consolidating publishing steps, adopting a modern publishing plugin, and correctly configuring Maven Central credentials. Published Sauce Visual with Espresso integration documentation detailing setup, client configuration, and advanced usage such as build lifecycle customization, ignored regions, DOM capture, clipping, and full-page screenshots. These efforts increased automated visual regression coverage, reduced publishing friction, and provided clearer guidance for customers and developers.

October 2024: Delivered native-app support in the Visual Testing SDK and expanded the GraphQL schema to enable richer baselining, versioning, and device metrics. Updated BaselineCondition and BaselineFilter inputs to support additional criteria, enabling more flexible and accurate visual validation across devices. Committed work documented in 2976ad0a1dc5e77e75e9f3bbeace30c3ab4e51d0 ("FPS native java (#159)"). This work positions us to deliver more reliable visual tests for native apps and reduces manual effort in baseline management.
