A detailed list of changes since Squish 6.0 is available at https://doc.froglogic.com/squish/6.1/rel-610.html.
Squish GUI Tester supports GUI test automation across several technologies, including the Qt, QML and QtQuick GUI toolkits, Java SWT/Eclipse RCP, Java AWT/Swing, JavaFX, Windows MFC, .NET WindowsForms and WPF, Mac OS X Carbon/Cocoa, iOS Cocoa Touch, Android, and Web/HTML5/AJAX/Flex.

Standing out above other GUI testing tools, Squish gives test engineers the freedom to record and author tests using familiar scripting languages such as JavaScript, Perl, Python, Tcl, and Ruby. With extremely tight integration with each supported GUI technology, Squish gives testers unprecedented access to the application internals (data items, controls, widgets, etc.), enabling the creation of robust and stable GUI tests.
Squish and all the tests created with it, are fully cross-platform and work on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, embedded Linux, iOS, Android and several RTOSes.
