Most important enhancements
===========================

Bugfixes for `Promise To` keyword
---------------------------------

`Promise To`_ keyword had two issues, (`#2649`_) and (`#2650`_).
The first one was related to type conversion, because it had just some converters hard coded.
Therefore you could for example not use 'Click' with button argument or any timedelta argument.
This is fixed.

Also it had issues with Keywords not matching snake_case notation.
This mostly happens with JS Extension keywords, because they often are camelCase.
These keywords or keywords that were really not part of Browser lib were causing a deadlock.

Docker Image improvements
-------------------------

Docker image is now based on playwrights docker image.
This should solve some issues with this image having missing dependencies.
It also should improve compatibility with ARM architecture.
