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. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.14 Tue Feb 11 16:07:06 UTC 2014 jmmv Import atf 0.19: Changes in version 0.19 *********************** Experimental version released on February 7th, 2014. This is the last release to bundle the code for the deprecated tools. The next release will drop their code and will stop worrying about backwards compatibility between the ATF libraries and what the old tools may or may not support. If you still require the old tools for some reason, grab a copy of the 'tools' directory now. The code in this directory is standalone and does not depend on any internal details of atf-c++ any longer. * Various fixes and improvements to support running as part of the FreeBSD test suite. * Project hosting moved from Google Code (as a subproject of Kyua) to GitHub (as a first-class project). The main reason for the change is the suppression of binary downloads in Google Code on Jan 15th, 2014. See https://github.com/jmmv/atf/ * Removed builtin help from atf-sh(1) and atf-check(1) for simplicity reasons. In other words, their -h option is gone. * Moved the code of the deprecated tools into a 'tools' directory and completely decoupled their code from the internals of atf-c++. The reason for this is to painlessly allow a third-party to maintain a copy of these tools after we delete them because upcoming changes to atf-c++ would break the stale tools. Changes in version 0.18 *********************** Experimental version released on November 16th, 2013. * Issue 45: Added require.memory support in atf-run for FreeBSD. * Fixed an issue with the handling of cin with libc++. * Issue 64: Fixed various mandoc formatting warnings. * NetBSD PR bin/48284: Made atf-check flush its progress message to stdout so that an interrupted test case always shows the last message being executed. * NetBSD PR bin/48285: Fixed atf_check examples in atf-sh-api(3). /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.13 Sat Feb 08 19:11:29 UTC 2014 jmmv Import atf 0.17: Experimental version released on February 14th, 2013. * Added the atf_utils_cat_file, atf_utils_compare_file, atf_utils_copy_file, atf_utils_create_file, atf_utils_file_exists, atf_utils_fork, atf_utils_grep_file, atf_utils_grep_string, atf_utils_readline, atf_utils_redirect and atf_utils_wait utility functions to atf-c-api. Documented the already-public atf_utils_free_charpp function. * Added the cat_file, compare_file, copy_file, create_file, file_exists, fork, grep_collection, grep_file, grep_string, redirect and wait functions to the atf::utils namespace of atf-c++-api. These are wrappers around the same functions added to the atf-c-api library. * Added the ATF_CHECK_MATCH, ATF_CHECK_MATCH_MSG, ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH and ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH_MSG macros to atf-c to simplify the validation of a string against a regular expression. * Miscellaneous fixes for manpage typos and compilation problems with clang. * Added caching of the results of those configure tests that rely on executing a test program. This should help crossbuild systems by providing a mechanism to pre-specify what the results should be. * PR bin/45690: Make atf-report convert any non-printable characters to a plain-text representation (matching their corresponding hexadecimal entities) in XML output files. This is to prevent the output of test cases from breaking xsltproc later. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.12 Fri Feb 15 17:04:15 UTC 2013 jmmv branches: 1.1.1.11.2; Import atf 0.16: Experimental version released on July 10th, 2012. * Added a --enable-tools flag to configure to request the build of the deprecated ATF tools, whose build is now disabled by default. In order to continue running tests, you should migrate to Kyua instead of enabling the build of the deprecated tools. The kyua-atf-compat package provides transitional compatibility versions of atf-run and atf-report built on top of Kyua. * Tweaked the ATF_TEST_CASE macro of atf-c++ so that the compiler can detect defined but unused test cases. * PR bin/45859: Fixed some XSLT bugs that resulted in the tc-time and tp-time XML tags leaking into the generated HTML file. Also improved the CSS file slightly to correct alignment and color issues with the timestamps column. * Optimized atf-c++/macros.hpp so that GNU G++ consumes less memory during compilation with GNU G++. * Flipped the default to building shared libraries for atf-c and atf-c++, and started versioning them. As a side-effect, this removes the --enable-unstable-shared flag from configure that appears to not work any more (under NetBSD). Additionally, some distributions require the use of shared libraries for proper dependency tracking (e.g. Fedora), so it is better if we do the right versioning upstream. * Project hosting moved from an adhoc solution (custom web site and Monotone repository) to Google Code (standard wiki and Git). ATF now lives in a subcomponent of the Kyua project. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.11 Wed Jul 11 22:37:05 UTC 2012 jmmv Import atf 0.15: the major goal of this import is to reconcile any local changes to the atf codebase with upstream code. All local changes should have been backported, with appropriate portability workarounds where necessary. This new release also includes other changes though, such as performance improvements and bug fixes, and also a major new feature partially implemented by pgoyette@: the time to execute each test cases and test program is now recorded and included in the output reports. The import into NetBSD has been tested natively on amd64 and macppc, and the full test suite has also been run through anita on amd64 and i386. No regressions observed... but you never know. From the NEWS file, the changes in this version are as follows: Experimental version released on January 16th, 2012. * Respect stdin in atf-check. The previous release silenced stdin for any processes spawned by atf, not only test programs, which caused breakage in tests that pipe data through atf-check. * Performance improvements to atf-sh. * Enabled detection of unused parameters and variables in the code and fixed all warnings. * Changed the behavior of "developer mode". Compiler warnings are now enabled unconditionally regardless of whether we are in developer mode or not; developer mode is now only used to perform strict warning checks and to enable assertions. Additionally, developer mode is now only automatically enabled when building from the repository, not for formal releases. * Added new Autoconf M4 macros (ATF_ARG_WITH, ATF_CHECK_C and ATF_CHECK_CXX) to provide a consistent way of defining a --with-arg flag in configure scripts and detecting the presence of any of the ATF bindings. Note that ATF_CHECK_SH was already introduced in 0.14, but it has now been modified to also honor --with-atf if instantiated. * Added timing support to atf-run / atf-report. * Added support for a 'require.memory' property, to specify the minimum amount of physical memory needed by the test case to yield valid results. * PR bin/45690: Force an ISO-8859-1 encoding in the XML files generated by atf-report so that invalid data in the output of test cases does not mangle our report. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.10 Mon Jan 16 22:36:30 UTC 2012 jmmv branches: 1.1.1.9.2; Import atf-0.14: Experimental version released on June 14th, 2011. * Added a pkg-config file for atf-sh and an aclocal file to ease the detection of atf-sh from autoconf scripts. * Made the default test case body defined by atf_sh fail. This is to ensure that test cases are properly defined in test programs and helps in catching typos in the names of the body functions. * PR bin/44882: Made atf-run connect the stdin of test cases to /dev/zero. This provides more consistent results with "normal" execution (in particular, when tests are executed detached from a terminal). * Made atf-run hardcode TZ=UTC for test cases. It used to undefine TZ, but that does not take into account that libc determines the current timezone from a configuration file. * All test programs will now print a warning when they are not run through atf-run(1) stating that this is unsupported and may deliver incorrect results. * Added support for the 'require.files' test-case property. This allows test cases to specify installed files that must be present for the test case to run. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.9 Tue Jun 14 15:23:20 UTC 2011 jmmv branches: 1.1.1.8.2; Import atf-0.13: Experimental version released on March 31st, 2011. This is the first release after the creation of the Kyua project, a more modular and reliable replacement for ATF. From now on, ATF will change to accomodate the transition to this new codebase, but ATF will still continue to see development in the short/medium term. Check out the project page at http://code.google.com/p/kyua/ for more details. The changes in this release are: * Added support to run the tests with the Kyua runtime engine (kyua-cli), a new package that aims to replace atf-run and atf-report. The ATF tests can be run with the new system by issuing a 'make installcheck-kyua' from the top-level directory of the project (assuming the 'kyua' binary is available during the configuration stage of ATF). * atf-run and atf-report are now in maintenance mode (but *not* deprecated yet!). Kyua already implements a new, much more reliable runtime engine that provides similar features to these tools. That said, it is not complete yet so all development efforts should go towards it. * If GDB is installed, atf-run dumps the stack trace of crashing test programs in an attempt to aid debugging. Contributed by Antti Kantee. * Reverted default timeout change in previous release and reset its value to 5 minutes. This was causing several issues, specially when running the existing NetBSD test suite in qemu. * Fixed the 'match' output checker in atf-check to properly validate the last line of a file even if it does not have a newline. * Added the ATF_REQUIRE_IN and ATF_REQUIRE_NOT_IN macros to atf-c++ to check for the presence (or lack thereof) of an element in a collection. * PR bin/44176: Fixed a race condition in atf-run that would crash atf-run when the cleanup of a test case triggered asynchronous modifications to its work directory (e.g. killing a daemon process that cleans up a pid file in the work directory). * PR bin/44301: Fixed the sample XSLT file to report bogus test programs instead of just listing them as having 0 test cases. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.8 Thu Mar 31 16:41:07 UTC 2011 jmmv Import atf 0.12: Experimental version released on November 7th, 2010. * Added the ATF_REQUIRE_THROW_RE to atf-c++, which is the same as ATF_REQUIRE_THROW but allows checking for the validity of the exception's error message by means of a regular expression. * Added the ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH to atf-c++, which allows checking for a regular expression match in a string. * Changed the default timeout for test cases from 5 minutes to 30 seconds. 30 seconds is long enough for virtually all tests to complete, and 5 minutes is a way too long pause in a test suite where a single test case stalls. * Deprecated the use.fs property. While this seemed like a good idea in the first place to impose more control on what test cases can do, it turns out to be bad. First, use.fs=false prevents bogus test cases from dumping core so after-the-fact debugging is harder. Second, supporting use.fs adds a lot of unnecessary complexity. atf-run will now ignore any value provided to use.fs and will allow test cases to freely access the file system if they wish to. * Added the atf_tc_get_config_var_as_{bool,long}{,_wd} functions to the atf-c library. The 'text' module became private in 0.11 but was being used externally to simplify the parsing of configuration variables. * Made atf-run recognize the 'unprivileged-user' configuration variable and automatically drop root privileges when a test case sets require.user=unprivileged. Note that this is, by no means, done for security purposes; this is just for user convenience; tests should, in general, not be blindly run as root in the first place. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.7 Sun Nov 07 17:43:22 UTC 2010 jmmv Import atf-0.11: Experimental version released on October 20th, 2010. * The ATF_CHECK* macros in atf-c++ were renamed to ATF_REQUIRE* to match their counterparts in atf-c. * Clearly separated the modules in atf-c that are supposed to be public from those that are implementation details. The header files for the internal modules are not installed any more. * Made the atf-check tool private. It is only required by atf-sh and being public has the danger of causing confusion. Also, making it private simplifies the public API of atf. * Changed atf-sh to enable per-command error checking (set -e) by default. This catches many cases in which a test case is broken but it is not reported as such because execution continues. * Fixed the XSTL and CSS stylesheets to support expected failures. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.6 Wed Oct 20 09:14:18 UTC 2010 jmmv 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. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.5 Sat Jul 03 08:04:47 UTC 2010 jmmv Import atf 0.9: * Added atf-sh, an interpreter to process test programs written using the shell API. This is not really a shell interpreter by itself though: it is just a wrapper around the system shell that eases the loading of the necessary ATF libraries. * Removed atf-compile in favour of atf-sh. * Added the use.fs metadata property to test case, which is used to specify which test cases require file system access. This is to highlight dependencies on external resources more clearly and to speed up the execution of test suites by skipping the creation of many unnecessary work directories. * Fixed test programs to get a sane default value for their source directory. This means that it should not be necessary any more to pass -s when running test programs that do not live in the current directory. * Defining test case headers became optional. This is trivial to achieve in shell-based tests but a bit ugly in C and C++. In C, use the new ATF_TC_WITHOUT_HEAD macro to define the test case, and in C++ use ATF_TEST_CASE_WITHOUT_HEAD. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.4 Fri Jun 04 08:23:40 UTC 2010 jmmv Import atf 0.8. Changes in this release: * Test programs no longer run several test cases in a row. The execution of a test program now requires a test case name, and that single test case is executed. To execute several test cases, use the atf-run utility as usual. * Test programs no longer fork a subprocess to isolate the execution of test cases. They run the test case code in-process, and a crash of the test case will result in a crash of the test program. This is to ease debugging of faulty test cases. * Test programs no longer isolate their test cases. This means that they will not create temporary directories nor sanitize the environment any more. Yes: running a test case that depends on system state by hand will most likely yield different results depending on where (machine, directory, user environment, etc.) it is run. Isolation has been moved to atf-run. * Test programs no longer print a cryptic format (application/X-atf-tcs) on a special file channel. They can now print whatever they want on the screen. Because test programs can now only run one test case every time, providing controlled output is not necessary any more. * Test programs no longer write their status into a special file descriptor. Instead, they create a file with the results, which is later parsed by atf-run. This changes the semantics of the -r flag. * atf-run has been adjusted to perform the test case isolation. As a result, there is now a single canonical place that implements the isolation of test caes. In previous releases, the three language bindings (C, C++ and shell) had to be kept in sync with each other (read: not a nice thing to do at all). As a side effect of this change, writing bindings for other languages will be much, much easier from now on. * atf-run forks test programs on a test case basis, instead of on a test program basis as it did before. This is to provide the test case isolation that was before implemented by the test programs themselves. * Removed the atf-exec tool. This was used to implement test case isolation in atf-sh, but it is now unnecessary. * It is now optional to define the descr meta-data property. It has been proven to be mostly useless, because test cases often carry a descriptive name of their own. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.3 Sat May 08 08:05:18 UTC 2010 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. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.2 Tue Dec 22 13:25:52 UTC 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. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.1 Mon Jan 19 07:11:51 UTC 2009 jmmv Rebase to HEAD as of a few days ago. /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.11.2.2 Tue Aug 19 23:45:53 UTC 2014 tls resync with head /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.11.2.1 Mon Feb 25 00:24:53 UTC 2013 tls sync with head. for a reference, the tree before this commit was tagged as yamt-pagecache-tag8. this commit was splitted into small chunks to avoid a limitation of cvs. ("Protocol error: too many arguments") /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.9.2.3 Thu May 22 15:40:11 UTC 2014 yamt sync with head /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.9.2.2 Tue Oct 30 18:49:13 UTC 2012 yamt sync with head /src/external/bsd/atf/dist/NEWS - 1.1.1.9.2.1 Tue Apr 17 00:03:00 UTC 2012 yamt
