Robot Framework 7.0 alpha 1

Robot Framework 7.0 is a new major release with native VAR syntax for creating variables (#3761), support for mixing embedded and normal arguments with library keywords (#4710) and various other enhancements and bug fixes. Robot Framework 7.0 requires Python 3.8 or newer (#4294).

Robot Framework 7.0 alpha 1 was released on Thursday November 9, 2023. It is especially targeted for external tool developers for testing how backwards incompatible changes and deprecations possibly affect their tools. We can still make adjustments or even revert problematic changes before the final release.
