Selenium 2 Grid
summary
Selenium Grid 2 ships in trunk (2.0 beta3) as a single standalone jar that runs as hub or node, and supports both Selenium 1 and WebDriver protocols simultaneously. It removes the old “one RC per browser” cap so a machine runs as many browsers as it can, adds heartbeat detection plus auto-unregister of orphaned sessions, and exposes hooks (registration, prioritizer, capability matcher, self‑healing, timeout) to auto-start VMs, revert snapshots, balance load, and prioritize CI vs user tests. Demo shows mixed Mac/Ubuntu/Windows nodes working.
