# Selenium 4.25.0 Release Notes
19+
20+
Selenium 4.25.0 introduces several important changes and improvements across multiple programming
21+
languages and build systems. Below are the key highlights from this release.
22+
23+
### General Updates
24+
- Chrome DevTools support is now: v129, v128, and v127 (Firefox still uses v85 for all versions)
25+
- Selenium has at least [4M active users](https://plausible.io/manager.selenium.dev) in the last 30 days. 1.5M more than 4 months ago!
26+
- **First implementation of BiDi (Bidirectional WebDriver Protocol) for .NET**, providing advanced capabilities like inspecting browser contexts and receiving real-time events.
27+
- We are looking for feedback on this feature, so please try it out and let us know what you think! Try `var bidi = await driver.AsBiDiAsync();` to get started.
