Re: [DUnit-interest] Is DUnit dead?

[Warren P. <war...@gm...>]

Marius,

I respectfully disagree that the DUnit/X GUI is in the works. I have talked
over on the Google+ group to the people, and everyone is still in the navel
gazing stages.

Also, I disagree that the "Easy compatibility" feature is worthwhile. It's
not.  For my codebase, which has hundreds of unit tests apps, the rewrite
effort is far too large, for zero benefits to me.

I'm currently looking at DUnit2 and I think that a revived DUnit project
with the DUnit2 codebase looks far more promising to me than DUnit/X.
