subunit release notes
---------------------
+NEXT (In development)
+---------------------
+
+The Subunit Python test runner ``python -m subunit.run`` can now report the
+test ids and also filter via a test id list file thanks to improvements in
+``testtools.run``. See the testtools manual, or testrepository - a major
+user of such functionality.
+
+IMPROVEMENTS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* The ``subunit.run`` Python module supports ``-l`` and ``--load-list`` as
+ per ``testtools.run``. This required a dependency bump due to a small
+ API change in ``testtools``. (Robert Collins)
+
+* Force flush of writes to stdout in c/tests/test_child. (Jelmer Vernooij, #687611)
+
+0.0.6
+-----
+
+This release of subunit fixes a number of unicode related bugs. This depends on
+testtools 0.9.4 and will not function without it. Thanks to Tres Seaver there
+is also an optional native setup.py file for use with easy_install and the
+like.
+
+BUG FIXES
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Be consistent about delivering unicode content to testtools StringException
+ class which has become (appropriately) conservative. (Robert Collins)
+
+* 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)
+
+* Old style tracebacks with no encoding info are now treated as UTF8 rather
+ than some-random-codec-like-ascii. (Robert Collins)
+
+* On windows, ProtocolTestCase and TestProtocolClient will set their streams to
+ binary mode by calling into msvcrt; this avoids having their input or output
+ mangled by the default line ending translation on that platform.
+ (Robert Collins, Martin [gz], #579296)
+
+IMPROVEMENTS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* Subunit now has a setup.py for python deployments that are not using
+ distribution packages. (Tres Seaver, #538181)
+
+* Subunit now supports test discovery by building on the testtools support for
+ it. You can take advantage of it with "python -m subunit.run discover [path]"
+ and see "python -m subunit.run discover --help" for more options.
+
+* Subunit now uses the improved unicode support in testtools when outputting
+ non-details based test information; this should consistently UTF8 encode such
+ strings.
+
+* The Python TestProtocolClient now flushes output on startTest and stopTest.
+ (Martin [gz]).
+
+
+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.
-0.0.2 (IN DEVELOPMENT)
-----------------------
+* 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.
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``.
