The report now shows files found by Google, the last time it was crawled and also any warnings/errors. It also enables you to request a recrawl of a robots.txt file for emergency situations, along with the previous fetched version in the last 30 days (which is a nice addition). Overall, this looks like a nice upgrade from the previous robots.txt tester which was quite hidden and rarely used by SEOs in my experience. You can take a look at the new report through clicking Settings > Crawling > Robots.txt.

Google: Robots.txt Is Unreachable, Other #Pages Reachability Matter Gary Illyes from Google explained that if a website's robots.txt file is unavailable (returns a 503 error) for two months, but other important pages like the homepage are still accessible, the website might still be indexed. However, if the homepage and other crucial pages are also inaccessible, the website may have difficulty being indexed. In essence, while the robots.txt error can cause temporary issues, the availability of other important pages plays a significant role in Google's ability to crawl and index the #website. https://lnkd.in/gDHuWFHs

jk. we’re not robots. and that’s not how robots work. that’s also not how robots.txt files work. they’re actually a lot less complicated — and a bit underwhelming. but they matter for SEO. so here we are. in our second *actually* understandable breakdown in the “WTF is” series, we’re looking at robots.txt files. take a look! beep boop. #PoorMansSEO #RobotsTXT #SEOTips

Let's share the downside of frequency. A mantra we live by is to publish consistently. Then again, we’re not robots and we don’t need to slip into easy habits of turning into robots. It is often easier to follow a 'content' calendar than it is to take a break and allow new ideas to develop. Stepping aside can be intimidating. What if people aren't there when you return?
