11 * subunit2junitxml -f required a value, this is now fixed and -f acts as a
12 boolean switch with no parameter.
14 * Building with autoconf 2.65 is now supported.
22 * License change, by unanimous agreement of contributors to BSD/Apache
23 License Version 2.0. This makes Subunit compatible with more testing
28 * CPPUnit is now directly supported: subunit builds a cppunit listener
29 ``libcppunit-subunit``.
31 * In the python API ``addExpectedFailure`` and ``addUnexpectedSuccess``
32 from python 2.7/3.1 are now supported. ``addExpectedFailure`` is
33 serialised as ``xfail``, and ``addUnexpectedSuccess`` as ``success``.
34 The ``ProtocolTestCase`` parser now calls outcomes using an extended
35 API that permits attaching arbitrary MIME resources such as text files
36 log entries and so on. This extended API is being developed with the
37 Python testing community, and is in flux. ``TestResult`` objects that
38 do not support the API will be detected and transparently downgraded
39 back to the regular Python unittest API.
41 * INSTALLDIRS can be set to control the perl MakeMaker 'INSTALLDIRS'
42 viarable when installing.
44 * Multipart test outcomes are tentatively supported; the exact protocol
45 for them, both serialiser and object is not yet finalised. Testers and
46 early adopters are sought. As part of this and also in an attempt to
47 provider a more precise focus on the wire protocol and toolchain,
48 Subunit now depends on testtools (http://launchpad.net/testtools)
49 release 0.9.0 or newer.
51 * subunit2junitxml supports a new option, --forward which causes it
52 to forward the raw subunit stream in a similar manner to tee. This
53 is used with the -o option to both write a xml report and get some
54 other subunit filter to process the stream.
56 * The C library now has ``subunit_test_skip``.
60 * Install progress_model.py correctly.
62 * Non-gcc builds will no longer try to use gcc specific flags.
63 (Thanks trondn-norbye)
76 * A number of filters now support ``--no-passthrough`` to cause all
77 non-subunit content to be discarded. This is useful when precise control
78 over what is output is required - such as with subunit2junitxml.
80 * A small perl parser is now included, and a new ``subunit-diff`` tool
81 using that is included. (Jelmer Vernooij)
83 * Subunit streams can now include optional, incremental lookahead
84 information about progress. This allows reporters to make estimates
85 about completion, when such information is available. See the README
86 under ``progress`` for more details.
88 * ``subunit-filter`` now supports regex filtering via ``--with`` and
89 ``without`` options. (Martin Pool)
91 * ``subunit2gtk`` has been added, a filter that shows a GTK summary of a
94 * ``subunit2pyunit`` has a --progress flag which will cause the bzrlib
95 test reporter to be used, which has a textual progress bar. This requires
96 a recent bzrlib as a minor bugfix was required in bzrlib to support this.
98 * ``subunit2junitxml`` has been added. This filter converts a subunit
99 stream to a single JUnit style XML stream using the pyjunitxml
102 * The shell functions support skipping via ``subunit_skip_test`` now.
106 * ``xfail`` outcomes are now passed to python TestResult's via
107 addExpectedFailure if it is present on the TestResult. Python 2.6 and
108 earlier which do not have this function will have ``xfail`` outcomes
109 passed through as success outcomes as earlier versions of subunit did.
113 * tags are no longer passed around in python via the ``TestCase.tags``
114 attribute. Instead ``TestResult.tags(new_tags, gone_tags)`` is called,
115 and like in the protocol, if called while a test is active only applies
116 to that test. (Robert Collins)
118 * ``TestResultFilter`` takes a new optional constructor parameter
119 ``filter_predicate``. (Martin Pool)
121 * When a progress: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the
122 python bindings now call the ``progress(offset, whence)`` method on
125 * When a time: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the python
126 bindings now call the ``time(seconds)`` method on ``TestResult``.
130 * (python) Added ``subunit.test_results.AutoTimingTestResultDecorator``. Most
131 users of subunit will want to wrap their ``TestProtocolClient`` objects
132 in this decorator to get test timing data for performance analysis.
134 * (python) ExecTestCase supports passing arguments to test scripts.
136 * (python) New helper ``subunit.test_results.HookedTestResultDecorator``
137 which can be used to call some code on every event, without having to
138 implement all the event methods.
140 * (python) ``TestProtocolClient.time(a_datetime)`` has been added which
141 causes a timestamp to be output to the stream.
