This release includes a significant number of improvements compared to 5.1.0, focusing on better usability, more robust execution, and cleaner dependency management.

For a complete list of changes, see the individual pull requests and issues linked below.

New features

Improved console output control (#​694)

A new --pabotconsole option allows controlling the amount of console output:
--pabotconsole none | dotted | verbose | quiet

All Pabot output is now always written to pabot_manager.log, which means console flooding and flushing no longer make debugging harder.

Reduced mandatory dependencies (#​699)

Starting from Pabot 5.2.0, Pabot only requires Robot Framework to run.

• The natsort dependency has been removed and replaced with a pure Python implementation.
• robotframework-stacktrace has been moved to an optional dependency.

New dynamic mode for --ordering (#​661)

A new dynamic mode has been added to --ordering, resolving issues with ordering files when using multiple stages.

In addition, dynamic mode supports skipping tests or suites when prerequisites defined with the #DEPENDS keyword fail.

See the README for usage details.

Improved logging for process termination and timeouts (#​572)

When a Pabot process is killed due to exceeding the maximum --processtimeout, this is now logged.

Similar messages are also logged when:

• execution is interrupted via Ctrl+C
• tests or suites are skipped using new --ordering dynamic skip mode

Bug fixes

Proper cleanup of subprocesses (#​568)

The lifecycle handling of Pabot subprocesses has been fully refactored, fixing zombie processes when using --processtimeout.

Fixed --timestampoutputs option (#​672)

Resolved an issue where using the -T / --timestampoutputs option caused XML parsing errors.

Additional improvements

This release also includes:

• smaller enhancements and refactorings
• new and improved tests
• CI improvements
• documentation updates

…and much more!

🚀 Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
