Changes in version 0.9

Experimental version released on June 3rd, 2010.

  • 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.
