ANNOUNCE: ATF 0.2 released
Hello,
Exactly a month ago, the Google Summer of Code 2007 program concluded
and, coinciding with that date, I published ATF 0.1. Development has
continued since then and I am now pleased to announce the availability
of the ATF 0.2 release, the first release outside of the program;
hopefully many more will come. This new version has still many rough
edges but given that the goals planned for it have been accomplished, I
felt it was time to make it public.
The major changes in this release are:
* Test cases now get a known umask on entry.
* atf-run now detects many unexpected failures caused by test programs
and reports them as bogus tests. atf-report is able to handle these
new errors and nicely reports them to the user.
* All the data formats read and written by the tools have been
documented and cleaned up. These include those grammars that define
how the different components communicate with each other as well as
the format of files written by the developers and users: the Atffiles
and the configuration files.
* Added the atf-version tool, a utility that displays information about
the currently installed version of ATF.
* Test cases can now define an optional cleanup routine to undo their
actions regardless of their exit status.
* atf-report now summarizes the list of failed (bogus) test programs
when using the ticker output format.
* Test programs now capture some termination signals and clean up any
temporary files before exiting the program.
* Multiple bug fixes and improvements all around.
