+subunit release notes
+---------------------
+
+NEXT (In development)
+---------------------
+
+BUG FIXES
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Fix incorrect reference to subunit_test_failf in c/README.
+ (Brad Hards, #524341)
+
+* Fix incorrect ordering of tags method parameters in TestResultDecorator. 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)

+
+ 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.
