Summary of Changes with version 4.3


   - Changes in array equality. Using assertEquals to compare array
   contents is now deprecated. In the future, assertEquals will revert to
   its pre-4.0 meaning of comparing objects based on Java's
Object.equalssemantics. To compare array contents, use the new, more
reliable
   Assert.assertArrayEquals methods.
   - The @Ignore annotation can now be applied to classes, to ignore the
   entire class, instead of individual methods.
   - Originally, developers who wanted to use a static suite() method
   from JUnit 3.x with a JUnit 4.x runner had to annotate the class with
   @RunWith(AllTests.class). In the common case, this requirement has
   been removed. However, when such a class is wrapped with a JUnit4TestAdapter
   (which we believe is rare), the results may not be as expected.
   - Improved error messages for array comparison("arrays first differed
   at element [1][0]")
   - Bug fix: Inaccessible base class is caught at test construction
   time.
   - Bug fix: Circular suites are caught at test construction time.
   - Bug fix: Test constructors that throw exceptions are reported
   correctly.
   - *For committers and extenders*
      - Sources now are in a separate "src" directory (this means a
      big break in the CVS history)
      - Improved documentation in Request, RunWith
