#### iOS - XCUITest
* Upgrade version of WebDriverAgent used. Includes following updates:
    * Improve xpath query performance
    * Verify predicates

#### Android
* Fix bug where we would attempt to get target SDK version from manifests
  even when they might not include it
* Actually pass the `acceptSslCerts` capability to the underlying automation
  so that it can have an effect

    * Click on arbitrary elements

    * Added `GET /orientation`
    * Added support for WPF apps


CHANGES IN VERSION 1.6.2 (from 1.6.1)
===================================

_This is a small, mostly-emergency release because we realized we omitted
XCUITest upgrades via WebDriverAgent that we had mistakenly presumed were part
of 1.6.1._

#### iOS - XCUITest
* Upgrade version of WebDriverAgent used. Includes following updates:
    * Support for setting values on sliders
    * Fix tapping in various orientations
    * Allow tapping on arbitrary coordinates
    * Support for pinch gestures
    * Make `clear` faster
    * Improve xpath query performance

===================================

_This is another emergency release due to an issue with the NPM shrinkwrap_

#### iOS

* Fixed issue where we might try and uninstall an ssl cert from a real device
  where this isn't sensible

#### iOS - XCUITest
* Upgrade version of WebDriverAgent used. Includes following updates:
    * Improve xpath query performance
    * Verify predicates
    * Fix crash for some xpath selectors
* Decorate proxied getSession response with Appium's capabilities (fixes
  issues with clients that call getSession to determine server capabilities
  and are confused by WDA's non-standard response) ([#7480](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/7480))
* Fix issue with starting XCUITests on a real device, due to changes in WDA
  that invalidated our startup detection logic. ([#7313](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/7313))
* Allow connecting to an already-running WebDriverAgent through the
  `webDriverAgentUrl` capability, rather than starting our own

#### Android
* Fix bug where we would attempt to get target SDK version from manifests
  even when they might not include it. ([#7353](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/7353))
* Actually pass the `acceptSslCerts` capability to the underlying automation
  so that it can have an effect ([#7326](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/7326))
* Updated permission granting logic to speed up permission granting by doing
  it in bulk rather than one at a time ([#7493](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/7493))
* Hide the new permission granting logic behind an `autoGrantPermissions`
  capability which doesn't attempt to grant permissions unless it's `true`
  ([#7497](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/7497))

#### Android - Uiautomator2

* Add ability to verify TOAST messages (these can't be interacted with, only
  text retrieval allowed)

#### Windows
* _Actually_ upgrade WinAppDriver to 0.7 ([#7445](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/7445)). Includes following updates:
    * Click on arbitrary elements
    * Support for sendKeys modifiers
    * Various bugfixes
    * Added `GET /orientation`
    * Added support for WPF apps
