[Cppunit-devel] CppUnit 1.11.0 released !

[Baptiste L. <bl...@us...>]

Please report any compilation issues (specifically regression from 1.10.2=
),=20
as this will be the future stable release 1.12.0.

New in CppUnit 1.11.0:

* Portability:

  - Support for Embedded Visual C++ 4 added. For this purpose, CppUnit no=
w
    provides a very simple stream implementation if none is provided.
    This should also help porting on other platforms which have STL but
    no stream support. Just make sure that CPPUNIT_NO_STREAM is defined
    to 1 in your config header.

* Assertion:

  - Added missing _MESSAGE variants for the following assertions:

    CPPUNIT_ASSERT_DOUBLES_EQUAL_MESSAGE
    CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW_MESSAGE
    CPPUNIT_ASSERT_NO_THROW_MESSAGE
    CPPUNIT_ASSERT_ASSERTION_FAIL_MESSAGE
    CPPUNIT_ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS_MESSAGE

    Notes: change made to CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW may cause compilation erro=
r
    if you're expecting std::exception as it would be caught twice. Conta=
ct
us
    if it is an issue (we don't see much use for such a test).

    Some assertions failure message are now more detailed (exception,
    expression).
    Thanks to Neil Ferguson who contributed this patch.

  - Assertion on real number now output expected and actual value using t=
he
    maximum available precision instead of the previous strategy of round=
ing
    to 6 digits.

    Thanks to Neil Ferguson who contributed this patch.

* Outputter:

  - XML Ouputter: patch #997006 contributed by Akos Maroy makes the
    'stand-alone' attribute of the XML header optional.
    See XmlOutputter::setStandalone() & XmlDocument::setStandalone().

  - Better integration of compiler output for gcc on Mac OS X with Xcode
    (contributed by Claus Broch).

* MFC Test Runner

  - Integration with VC++ 7.0 & 7.1. Double clicking on a failure will no=
w
    to the failure location in the open IDE (no add-in necessary).
    This was contributed by Max Quatember and Andreas Pfaffenbichler.

  - Progress bar: now use system color to draw border
    (patch from bug #1165875 contributed by Pieter Van Dyck).

* QT Test Runner

  - Fixed display of multi-line messages (patch contributed by Karol
Szkudlarek).

* Compilation:

  - MinGW: patch #1024428 contributed by astar, fixed compilation issue i=
n
    Win32DynamicLibraryManager.cpp.

  - MinGW, cygwin: enable build of shared library when using libtool.
    patch #1194394 contributed by St=E9phane Fillod.

  - autotool: applied patch #1076398 contributed by Henner Sudek. Quote:
   "This patch allows AM_PATH_CPPUNIT to accept version
  numbers without minor and micro version.
  Now you can do:
  AM_PATH_CPPUNIT(1.9)
  instead of
  AM_PATH_CPPUNIT(1.9.0)"

* Documentation:

  - Corrected many typos in cookbook and money example. Thanks to all
    those who helped !

* Bug Fix:

  - cppunit.m4: patch #946302, AM_PATH_CPPUNIT doesn't report result
    if CppUnit is missing.

  - Message/SourceLine: copy constructor have been specifically implement=
ed
    to ensure they are thread-safe even if std::string copy constructor
    is not (usually on reference count based implementation).

  - TestResultCollector: fixed memory leak occuring when calling reset().

* Contrib:

  - added XSLT for compatibility with Ant junit xml formatter.
    Patch #1112053 contributed by Norbert Barbosa.
    See xml-xsl/cppunit2junit.xsl and cppunit2junit.txt for details.

* (Possible) Compatiblity break:

  - All text output is now done on cout() instead of sometime cerr &
    sometime cout depending on the component.

  - OStringStream definition has been removed from Portability.h. This
    means that <sstream> is no longer included, and that ostringstream an=
d
    string might not be defined. In practice this should have no impact
    since those includes have been moved to other CppUnit headers.

* Notes:

  - CppUnit now uses the alias OStream when refering to std::ostream for
    portability.
