RE: [Cppunit-devel] Is this project dead?

[Summerwill, B. <BSu...@eu...>]

Thanks for your replies.  The e-mail wasn't intended as any personal
criticism, and I hope it wasn't taken that way ;-)

I've been using the CVS head revision for a week or two.  There are a few
months worth of good work in there, and it seems a shame that there hasn't
been a public release in that time.  I had to make a few minor modifications
to get clean builds on MSVC++ 6.0, but the changes were very minimal (and
detailed in a previous mail to this group).

I'd like to help but (like yourself, Bastiaan) due to circumstances beyond
my control, it turns out that I'm unlikely to be using CppUnit regularly in
the future.  Sorry ...


Cheers,
Bob

Hi Bastiaan: I have to confess that I screwed with a couple of things
in CVS way back in July and haven't put them right yet.  Following the
discussions on test fixtures, I introduced TestFixture.h and intended
to recode TestCase to use it.  Unfortunately, I got distracted and
haven't finished all that work yet.  If you prefer to revert these
changes, I won't be offended.  In fact, I have been planning to revert
the change myself.  I'll try to do so this weekend, unless I hear
otherwise from you.

I'm here.  I'm still interested in CppUnit development: I've been
using CppUnit for my coding since June.  One reason that I haven't
done any work on cppunit is that I have gotten used to many of its
quirks.

If no-one else volunteers, I can certainly make releases of
CppUnit.  I'm still around to work on CVS, in any case.
