[Cppunit-devel] Announce: CppUnit 1.11.6 released.

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

    This release is a release candidate for 1.12.0.

    Features added since 1.11.4:
    - Qt TestRunner has been updated to Qt 3.x
    - Compile without deprecation warning with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
    - pkg-confile file is now generated on unix.

    I would appreciate if someone with access to a unix platform confirm 
that:
    - Qt TestRuner and examples/qt compile/run fine on that platform (I was 
only able to test VS7.1/qt 3.3.5)
    - pkg-config is correctly generated and can effectively be used.

    Notes that I already spotted the following buglet:
    - include/Portability.h and NEWS file version number have not been 
updated.

    Below a list of all changes since 1.10.2.

  New in CppUnit 1.11.6:
  ----------------------


* Portability:

  - Support for Embedded Visual C++ 4 added. For this purpose, CppUnit now
    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 error
    if you're expecting std::exception as it would be caught twice. Contact 
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 the
    maximum available precision instead of the previous strategy of rounding
    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 now
    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:

  - The standard pkg-config file is now generated on unix (contributed by
    Robert Leight).

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

  - MinGW, cygwin: enable build of shared library when using libtool.
    patch #1194394 contributed by St?hane 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)"

  - Visual Studio 2005: removed deprecated warning.

* 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 implemented
    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.

  - xml-xsl/report.xsl has been fixed to work with current xml output.

* (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 and
    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.
