Documentation for the new features will be updated in a day or two.

Notable additions to the API are _in and _near.

Any element can be found relative to another by using _near. It helps in not depending on identification by index (like _link("delete[3]")), which can be brittle. Instead _in and _near help identify elements based on nearness to another element.

_checkbox(0, _near(_span("user name 1"))); 
// would return the nearest checkbox to user name 1

_link("delete", _near(_span("user name 1")));; 
// would return the nearest delete link even though there may be other delete links

_link("delete", _in(_parentRow(_cell("User name 3"))));; 
// would return the delete link in the same row as user name 3.
