This + is purely cosmetic as the parameters are passed down with no interpretation. + (Robert Collins, #537611) + +0.0.5 +----- + +BUG FIXES +~~~~~~~~~ + +* make check was failing if subunit wasn't installed due to a missing include + path for the test program test_child. + +* make distcheck was failing due to a missing $(top_srcdir) rune. + +IMPROVEMENTS +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +* New filter `subunit-notify` that will show a notification window with test + statistics when the test run finishes. + +* subunit.run will now pipe its output to the command in the + SUBUNIT_FORMATTER environment variable, if set. + +0.0.4 +----- + +BUG FIXES +~~~~~~~~~ + +* subunit2junitxml -f required a value, this is now fixed and -f acts as a + boolean switch with no parameter. + +* Building with autoconf 2.65 is now supported. + + +0.0.3 +----- + + CHANGES: + + * License change, by unanimous agreement of contributors to BSD/Apache + License Version 2.0. This makes Subunit compatible with more testing + frameworks. + + IMPROVEMENTS: + + * CPPUnit is now directly supported: subunit builds a cppunit listener + ``libcppunit-subunit``. + + * In the python API ``addExpectedFailure`` and ``addUnexpectedSuccess`` + from python 2.7/3.1 are now supported. ``addExpectedFailure`` is + serialised as ``xfail``, and ``addUnexpectedSuccess`` as ``success``. + The ``ProtocolTestCase`` parser now calls outcomes using an extended + API that permits attaching arbitrary MIME resources such as text files + log entries and so on. This extended API is being developed with the + Python testing community, and is in flux. ``TestResult`` objects that + do not support the API will be detected and transparently downgraded + back to the regular Python unittest API. + + * INSTALLDIRS can be set to control the perl MakeMaker 'INSTALLDIRS' + viarable when installing. + + * Multipart test outcomes are tentatively supported; the exact protocol + for them, both serialiser and object is not yet finalised. Testers and + early adopters are sought. As part of this and also in an attempt to + provider a more precise focus on the wire protocol and toolchain, + Subunit now depends on testtools (http://launchpad.net/testtools) + release 0.9.0 or newer. + + * subunit2junitxml supports a new option, --forward which causes it + to forward the raw subunit stream in a similar manner to tee. This + is used with the -o option to both write a xml report and get some + other subunit filter to process the stream. + + * The C library now has ``subunit_test_skip``. + + BUG FIXES: + + * Install progress_model.py correctly. + + * Non-gcc builds will no longer try to use gcc specific flags. + (Thanks trondn-norbye) + + API CHANGES: + + INTERNALS: + +0.0.2 +----- + + CHANGES: + + IMPROVEMENTS: + + * A number of filters now support ``--no-passthrough`` to cause all + non-subunit content to be discarded. This is useful when precise control + over what is output is required - such as with subunit2junitxml. + + * A small perl parser is now included, and a new ``subunit-diff`` tool + using that is included. (Jelmer Vernooij) + + * Subunit streams can now include optional, incremental lookahead + information about progress. This allows reporters to make estimates + about completion, when such information is available. See the README + under ``progress`` for more details. + + * ``subunit-filter`` now supports regex filtering via ``--with`` and + ``without`` options. (Martin Pool) + + * ``subunit2gtk`` has been added, a filter that shows a GTK summary of a + test stream. + + * ``subunit2pyunit`` has a --progress flag which will cause the bzrlib + test reporter to be used, which has a textual progress bar. This requires + a recent bzrlib as a minor bugfix was required in bzrlib to support this. + + * ``subunit2junitxml`` has been added. This filter converts a subunit + stream to a single JUnit style XML stream using the pyjunitxml + python library. + + * The shell functions support skipping via ``subunit_skip_test`` now. + + BUG FIXES: + + * ``xfail`` outcomes are now passed to python TestResult's via + addExpectedFailure if it is present on the TestResult. Python 2.6 and + earlier which do not have this function will have ``xfail`` outcomes + passed through as success outcomes as earlier versions of subunit did. + + API CHANGES: + + * tags are no longer passed around in python via the ``TestCase.tags`` + attribute. Instead ``TestResult.tags(new_tags, gone_tags)`` is called, + and like in the protocol, if called while a test is active only applies + to that test. (Robert Collins) + + * ``TestResultFilter`` takes a new optional constructor parameter + ``filter_predicate``. (Martin Pool) + + * When a progress: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the + python bindings now call the ``progress(offset, whence)`` method on + ``TestResult``. + + * When a time: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the python + bindings now call the ``time(seconds)`` method on ``TestResult``. + + INTERNALS: + + * (python) Added ``subunit.test_results.AutoTimingTestResultDecorator``. Most + users of subunit will want to wrap their ``TestProtocolClient`` objects + in this decorator to get test timing data for performance analysis. + + * (python) ExecTestCase supports passing arguments to test scripts. + + * (python) New helper ``subunit.test_results.HookedTestResultDecorator`` + which can be used to call some code on every event, without having to + implement all the event methods. + + * (python) ``TestProtocolClient.time(a_datetime)`` has been added which + causes a timestamp to be output to the stream. |
