 1.1  19-Jan-2009  jmmv branches: 1.1.1;
Initial revision
 1.1.1.4  11-Feb-2014  jmmv Import atf-0.20:

Experimental version released on February 7th, 2014.

This is the first release without the code for the deprecated tools. If
you require such code, please fetch a copy of the 0.19 release and extract
the 'tools' directory for your own consumption.

* Removed the deprecated tools. This includes atf-config, atf-report,
atf-run and atf-version.
 1.1.1.3  03-Jul-2010  jmmv branches: 1.1.1.3.6; 1.1.1.3.12;
Import atf 0.10:

Miscellaneous features

* Added expected failures support to test cases and atf-run. These
include, for example, expected clean exits, expected reception of fatal
signals, expected timeouts and expected errors in condition checks.
These statuses can be used to denote test cases that are known to fail
due to a bug in the code they are testing. atf-report reports these
tests separately but they do not count towards the failed test cases
amount.

* Added the ATF_CHECK_ERRNO and ATF_REQUIRE_ERRNO to the C library to
allow easy checking of call failures that update errno.

* Added the has.cleanup meta-data property to test caes that specifies
whether the test case has a cleanup routine or not; its value is
automatically set. This property is read by atf-run to know if it has to
run the cleanup routine; skipping this run for every test case
significantly speeds up the run time of test suites.

* Reversed the order of the ATF_CHECK_THROW macro in the C++ binding to
take the expected exception as the first argument and the statement to
execute as the second argument.

Changes in atf-check

* Changed atf-check to support negating the status and output checks by
prefixing them with not- and added support to specify multiple checkers
for stdout and stderr, not only one.

* Added the match output checker to atf-check to look for regular
expressions in the stdout and stderr of commands.

* Modified the exit checks in atf-check to support checking for the
reception of signals.

Code simplifications and cleanups

* Removed usage messages from test programs to simplify the
implementation of every binding by a significant amount. They just now
refer the user to the appropriate manual page and do not attempt to wrap
lines on terminal boundaries. Test programs are not supposed to be run
by users directly so this minor interface regression is not important.

* Removed the atf-format internal utility, which is unused after the
change documented above.

* Removed the atf-cleanup internal utility. It has been unused since the
test case isolation was moved to atf-run in 0.8

* Splitted the Makefile.am into smaller files for easier maintenance and
dropped the use of M4. Only affects users building from the repository
sources.

* Intermixed tests with the source files in the source tree to provide
them more visibility and easier access. The tests directory is gone from
the source tree and tests are now suffixed by _test, not prefixed by t_.

* Simplifications to the atf-c library: removed the io, tcr and ui
modules as they had become unnecessary after all simplifications
introduced since the 0.8 release.

* Removed the application/X-atf-tcr format introduced in 0.8 release.
Tests now print a much simplified format that is easy to parse and nicer
to read by end users. As a side effect, the default for test cases is
now to print their results to stdout unless otherwise stated by providing
the -r flag.

* Removed XML distribution documents and replaced them with plain-text
documents. They provided little value and introduced a lot of complexity
to the build system.

* Simplified the output of atf-version by not attempting to print a
revision number when building form a distfile. Makes the build system
easier to maintain.
 1.1.1.2  22-Dec-2009  jmmv Import atf 0.7. Changes in this release:

* Added build-time checks to atf-c and atf-c++. A binding for atf-sh
will come later.

* Migrated all build-time checks for header files to proper ATF tests.
This demonstrates the use of the new feature described above.

* Added an internal API for child process management.

* Converted all plain-text distribution documents to a Docbook canonical
version, and include pre-generated plain text and HTML copies in the
distribution file.

* Simplified the contents of the Makefile.am by regenerating it from a
canonical Makefile.am.m4 source. As a side-effect, some dependency
specifications were fixed.

* Migrated all checks from the check target to installcheck, as these
require ATF to be installed.

* Fixed sign comparison mismatches triggered by the now-enabled
-Wsign-compare.

* Fixed many memory and object leaks.
 1.1.1.1  19-Jan-2009  jmmv Import ATF 0.6. Replaces the old ATF 0.5 that was in dist/atf.

Changes in this release:

* Make atf-exec be able to kill its child process after a certain period of
time; this is controlled through the new -t option.

* Change atf-sh to use atf-exec's -t option to control the test case's
timeouts, instead of doing it internally. Same behavior as before, but
noticeably faster.

* atf-exec's -g option and atf-killpg are gone due to the previous change.

* Added the atf-check(1) tool, a program that executes a given command and
checks its exit code against a known value and allows the management of
stdout and stderr in multiple ways. This replaces the previous atf_check
function in the atf-sh library and exposes this functionality to both
atf-c and atf-c++.

* Added the ATF_REQUIRE family of macros to the C interface. These help
in checking for fatal test conditions. The old ATF_CHECK macros now
perform non-fatal checks only. I.e. by using ATF_CHECK, the test case
can now continue its execution and the failures will not be reported
until the end of the whole run.

* Extended the amount of ATF_CHECK_* C macros with new ones to provide more
features to the developer. These also have their corresponding
counterparts in the ATF_REQUIRE_* family. The new macros (listing the
suffixes only) are: _EQ (replaces _EQUAL), _EQ_MSG, _STREQ and
_STREQ_MSG.
 1.1.1.3.12.1  19-Aug-2014  tls Rebase to HEAD as of a few days ago.

this commit was splitted into small chunks to avoid
a limitation of cvs. ("Protocol error: too many arguments")
