The only remaining consumers have been converted to + use the standard TMPDIR environment variable. As a benefit, and because + Kyua forces the TMPDIR to live within the test case's work directory, + any stale files left behind by ATF will be automatically cleaned up. + +* Documented the environment variables recognized by each component in the + relevant manual pages. This information was lost with the atf-config(1) + removal. + +* Added a new "require.diskspace" metadata property to test cases so that + they can specify the minimum amount of disk space required for the test + to run. + +* Renamed the atf-{c,c++,sh}-api(3) manual pages to atf-{c,c++,sh}(3) for + discoverability purposes. Symbolic links are provided for the time + being to still make the old names visible. + +* Issue #5: Recommend the (expected, actual) idiom for calls to the test + macros in the manual pages. + +* Issue #7: Stopped catching unhandled exceptions in atf-c++ tests. This + propagates the crash to the caller, which in turn allows it to obtain + proper debugging information. In particular, Kyua should now be able to + extract a stacktrace pinpointing the problem. + +* Issue #8: Fixed atf-c/macros_test:use test failures spotted by the clang + that ships with FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT. + +* Issue #12: Improved documentation of atf-sh(3) and atf-check(1) by better + explaining how they relate to each other. + +* Issue #14: Stopped setting 'set -e' in atf-sh. This setting was + initially added as a way to enable a "strict" mode in the library and to + make test cases fail fast when they run unprotected commands. However, + doing so in the library is surprising as the responsibility of enabling + 'set -e' should be on the user's code. Also, 'set -e' introduces + inconsistent behavior on subshells and users do not expect that. + +* Issue #15: Fixed atf_utils_{fork,wait} to support nested calls. + +* Issue #16: Fixed test failures (by removing a long-standing hack) on + systems that lack \e support in printf(1). + +* Issue #19: Removed stale references to atf-config and atf-run. + Changes in version 0.20 *********************** |
