    <title>Import atf 0.15: the major goal of this import is to reconcile any local<br/>changes to the atf codebase with upstream code.  All local changes should<br/>have been backported, with appropriate portability workarounds where<br/>necessary.<br/><br/>This new release also includes other changes though, such as performance<br/>improvements and bug fixes, and also a major new feature partially<br/>implemented by pgoyette@: the time to execute each test cases and test<br/>program is now recorded and included in the output reports.<br/><br/>The import into NetBSD has been tested natively on amd64 and macppc, and<br/>the full test suite has also been run through anita on amd64 and i386.<br/>No regressions observed... but you never know.<br/><br/>From the NEWS file, the changes in this version are as follows:<br/><br/>Experimental version released on January 16th, 2012.<br/><br/>* Respect stdin in atf-check.  The previous release silenced stdin for any<br/>  processes spawned by atf, not only test programs, which caused breakage<br/>  in tests that pipe data through atf-check.<br/><br/>* Performance improvements to atf-sh.<br/><br/>* Enabled detection of unused parameters and variables in the code and<br/>  fixed all warnings.<br/><br/>* Changed the behavior of "developer mode".  Compiler warnings are now<br/>  enabled unconditionally regardless of whether we are in developer mode or<br/>  not; developer mode is now only used to perform strict warning checks and<br/>  to enable assertions.  Additionally, developer mode is now only<br/>  automatically enabled when building from the repository, not for formal<br/>  releases.<br/><br/>* Added new Autoconf M4 macros (ATF_ARG_WITH, ATF_CHECK_C and<br/>  ATF_CHECK_CXX) to provide a consistent way of defining a --with-arg flag<br/>  in configure scripts and detecting the presence of any of the ATF<br/>  bindings.  Note that ATF_CHECK_SH was already introduced in 0.14, but it<br/>  has now been modified to also honor --with-atf if instantiated.<br/><br/>* Added timing support to atf-run / atf-report.<br/><br/>* Added support for a 'require.memory' property, to specify the minimum<br/>  amount of physical memory needed by the test case to yield valid results.<br/><br/>* PR bin/45690: Force an ISO-8859-1 encoding in the XML files generated by<br/>  atf-report so that invalid data in the output of test cases does not<br/>  mangle our report.</title>

    <title>branches:  1.1.1.6.4;<br/>Import atf-0.13:<br/><br/>Experimental version released on March 31st, 2011.<br/><br/>This is the first release after the creation of the Kyua project, a more<br/>modular and reliable replacement for ATF.  From now on, ATF will change to<br/>accomodate the transition to this new codebase, but ATF will still continue<br/>to see development in the short/medium term.  Check out the project page at<br/>http://code.google.com/p/kyua/ for more details.<br/><br/>The changes in this release are:<br/><br/>* Added support to run the tests with the Kyua runtime engine (kyua-cli), a<br/>  new package that aims to replace atf-run and atf-report.  The ATF tests<br/>  can be run with the new system by issuing a 'make installcheck-kyua' from<br/>  the top-level directory of the project (assuming the 'kyua' binary is<br/>  available during the configuration stage of ATF).<br/><br/>* atf-run and atf-report are now in maintenance mode (but *not* deprecated<br/>  yet!).  Kyua already implements a new, much more reliable runtime engine<br/>  that provides similar features to these tools.  That said, it is not<br/>  complete yet so all development efforts should go towards it.<br/><br/>* If GDB is installed, atf-run dumps the stack trace of crashing test<br/>  programs in an attempt to aid debugging.  Contributed by Antti Kantee.<br/><br/>* Reverted default timeout change in previous release and reset its value<br/>  to 5 minutes.  This was causing several issues, specially when running<br/>  the existing NetBSD test suite in qemu.<br/><br/>* Fixed the 'match' output checker in atf-check to properly validate the<br/>  last line of a file even if it does not have a newline.<br/><br/>* Added the ATF_REQUIRE_IN and ATF_REQUIRE_NOT_IN macros to atf-c++ to<br/>  check for the presence (or lack thereof) of an element in a collection.<br/><br/>* PR bin/44176: Fixed a race condition in atf-run that would crash atf-run<br/>  when the cleanup of a test case triggered asynchronous modifications to<br/>  its work directory (e.g. killing a daemon process that cleans up a pid<br/>  file in the work directory).<br/><br/>* PR bin/44301: Fixed the sample XSLT file to report bogus test programs<br/>  instead of just listing them as having 0 test cases.</title>

    <title>Import atf-0.11:<br/><br/>Experimental version released on October 20th, 2010.<br/><br/>* The ATF_CHECK* macros in atf-c++ were renamed to ATF_REQUIRE* to match<br/>  their counterparts in atf-c.<br/><br/>* Clearly separated the modules in atf-c that are supposed to be public<br/>  from those that are implementation details.  The header files for the<br/>  internal modules are not installed any more.<br/><br/>* Made the atf-check tool private.  It is only required by atf-sh and being<br/>  public has the danger of causing confusion.  Also, making it private<br/>  simplifies the public API of atf.<br/><br/>* Changed atf-sh to enable per-command error checking (set -e) by default.<br/>  This catches many cases in which a test case is broken but it is not<br/>  reported as such because execution continues.<br/><br/>* Fixed the XSTL and CSS stylesheets to support expected failures.</title>

    <title>Import atf 0.10:<br/><br/>Miscellaneous features<br/><br/>* Added expected failures support to test cases and atf-run.  These<br/>  include, for example, expected clean exits, expected reception of fatal<br/>  signals, expected timeouts and expected errors in condition checks.<br/>  These statuses can be used to denote test cases that are known to fail<br/>  due to a bug in the code they are testing.  atf-report reports these<br/>  tests separately but they do not count towards the failed test cases<br/>  amount.<br/><br/>* Added the ATF_CHECK_ERRNO and ATF_REQUIRE_ERRNO to the C library to<br/>  allow easy checking of call failures that update errno.<br/><br/>* Added the has.cleanup meta-data property to test caes that specifies<br/>  whether the test case has a cleanup routine or not; its value is<br/>  automatically set.  This property is read by atf-run to know if it has to<br/>  run the cleanup routine; skipping this run for every test case<br/>  significantly speeds up the run time of test suites.<br/><br/>* Reversed the order of the ATF_CHECK_THROW macro in the C++ binding to<br/>  take the expected exception as the first argument and the statement to<br/>  execute as the second argument.<br/><br/>Changes in atf-check<br/><br/>* Changed atf-check to support negating the status and output checks by<br/>  prefixing them with not- and added support to specify multiple checkers<br/>  for stdout and stderr, not only one.<br/><br/>* Added the match output checker to atf-check to look for regular<br/>  expressions in the stdout and stderr of commands.<br/><br/>* Modified the exit checks in atf-check to support checking for the<br/>  reception of signals.<br/><br/>Code simplifications and cleanups<br/><br/>* Removed usage messages from test programs to simplify the<br/>  implementation of every binding by a significant amount.  They just now<br/>  refer the user to the appropriate manual page and do not attempt to wrap<br/>  lines on terminal boundaries.  Test programs are not supposed to be run<br/>  by users directly so this minor interface regression is not important.<br/><br/>* Removed the atf-format internal utility, which is unused after the<br/>  change documented above.<br/><br/>* Removed the atf-cleanup internal utility.  It has been unused since the<br/>  test case isolation was moved to atf-run in 0.8<br/><br/>* Splitted the Makefile.am into smaller files for easier maintenance and<br/>  dropped the use of M4.  Only affects users building from the repository<br/>  sources.<br/><br/>* Intermixed tests with the source files in the source tree to provide<br/>  them more visibility and easier access.  The tests directory is gone from<br/>  the source tree and tests are now suffixed by _test, not prefixed by t_.<br/><br/>* Simplifications to the atf-c library: removed the io, tcr and ui<br/>  modules as they had become unnecessary after all simplifications<br/>  introduced since the 0.8 release.<br/><br/>* Removed the application/X-atf-tcr format introduced in 0.8 release.<br/>  Tests now print a much simplified format that is easy to parse and nicer<br/>  to read by end users.  As a side effect, the default for test cases is<br/>  now to print their results to stdout unless otherwise stated by providing<br/>  the -r flag.<br/><br/>* Removed XML distribution documents and replaced them with plain-text<br/>  documents.  They provided little value and introduced a lot of complexity<br/>  to the build system.<br/><br/>* Simplified the output of atf-version by not attempting to print a<br/>  revision number when building form a distfile.  Makes the build system<br/>  easier to maintain.</title>

    <title>Import atf 0.8.  Changes in this release:<br/><br/>* Test programs no longer run several test cases in a row. The execution<br/>  of a test program now requires a test case name, and that single test<br/>  case is executed. To execute several test cases, use the atf-run<br/>  utility as usual.<br/><br/>* Test programs no longer fork a subprocess to isolate the execution of<br/>  test cases. They run the test case code in-process, and a crash of the<br/>  test case will result in a crash of the test program. This is to ease<br/>  debugging of faulty test cases.<br/><br/>* Test programs no longer isolate their test cases. This means that they<br/>  will not create temporary directories nor sanitize the environment any<br/>  more. Yes: running a test case that depends on system state by hand<br/>  will most likely yield different results depending on where (machine,<br/>  directory, user environment, etc.) it is run. Isolation has been moved<br/>  to atf-run.<br/><br/>* Test programs no longer print a cryptic format (application/X-atf-tcs)<br/>  on a special file channel. They can now print whatever they want on<br/>  the screen. Because test programs can now only run one test case every<br/>  time, providing controlled output is not necessary any more.<br/><br/>* Test programs no longer write their status into a special file<br/>  descriptor. Instead, they create a file with the results, which is<br/>  later parsed by atf-run. This changes the semantics of the -r flag.<br/><br/>* atf-run has been adjusted to perform the test case isolation. As a<br/>  result, there is now a single canonical place that implements the<br/>  isolation of test caes. In previous releases, the three language<br/>  bindings (C, C++ and shell) had to be kept in sync with each other<br/>  (read: not a nice thing to do at all). As a side effect of this<br/>  change, writing bindings for other languages will be much, much easier<br/>  from now on.<br/><br/>* atf-run forks test programs on a test case basis, instead of on a test<br/>  program basis as it did before. This is to provide the test case<br/>  isolation that was before implemented by the test programs themselves.<br/><br/>* Removed the atf-exec tool. This was used to implement test case<br/>  isolation in atf-sh, but it is now unnecessary.<br/><br/>* It is now optional to define the descr meta-data property. It has been<br/>  proven to be mostly useless, because test cases often carry a<br/>  descriptive name of their own.</title>

    <title>Import atf 0.7.  Changes in this release:<br/><br/>* Added build-time checks to atf-c and atf-c++.  A binding for atf-sh<br/>  will come later.<br/><br/>* Migrated all build-time checks for header files to proper ATF tests.<br/>  This demonstrates the use of the new feature described above.<br/><br/>* Added an internal API for child process management.<br/><br/>* Converted all plain-text distribution documents to a Docbook canonical<br/>  version, and include pre-generated plain text and HTML copies in the<br/>  distribution file.<br/><br/>* Simplified the contents of the Makefile.am by regenerating it from a<br/>  canonical Makefile.am.m4 source.  As a side-effect, some dependency<br/>  specifications were fixed.<br/><br/>* Migrated all checks from the check target to installcheck, as these<br/>  require ATF to be installed.<br/><br/>* Fixed sign comparison mismatches triggered by the now-enabled<br/>  -Wsign-compare.<br/><br/>* Fixed many memory and object leaks.</title>

    <title>Import ATF 0.6.  Replaces the old ATF 0.5 that was in dist/atf.<br/><br/>Changes in this release:<br/><br/>* Make atf-exec be able to kill its child process after a certain period of<br/>  time; this is controlled through the new -t option.<br/><br/>* Change atf-sh to use atf-exec's -t option to control the test case's<br/>  timeouts, instead of doing it internally.  Same behavior as before, but<br/>  noticeably faster.<br/><br/>* atf-exec's -g option and atf-killpg are gone due to the previous change.<br/><br/>* Added the atf-check(1) tool, a program that executes a given command and<br/>  checks its exit code against a known value and allows the management of<br/>  stdout and stderr in multiple ways.  This replaces the previous atf_check<br/>  function in the atf-sh library and exposes this functionality to both<br/>  atf-c and atf-c++.<br/><br/>* Added the ATF_REQUIRE family of macros to the C interface.  These help<br/>  in checking for fatal test conditions.  The old ATF_CHECK macros now<br/>  perform non-fatal checks only.  I.e. by using ATF_CHECK, the test case<br/>  can now continue its execution and the failures will not be reported<br/>  until the end of the whole run.<br/><br/>* Extended the amount of ATF_CHECK_* C macros with new ones to provide more<br/>  features to the developer.  These also have their corresponding<br/>  counterparts in the ATF_REQUIRE_* family.  The new macros (listing the<br/>  suffixes only) are: _EQ (replaces _EQUAL), _EQ_MSG, _STREQ and<br/>  _STREQ_MSG.</title>
