[Oorexx-devel] Announce: An updated ooTest-4.2.0-snapshot06 on SourceForge

[Mark M. <mie...@gm...>]

A quick announcement that the ooTest-4.2.0-snapshot06 package has been
updated and is now available for download from SourceForge:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexxunit/4.2.0.Snapshot.06/?

This snapshot represents the current state of the test suite used to test
ooRexx 4.2.0.

Due to user interest, some changes were made to the test suite and the
snapshot was redone.  The name of the package was not changed, the older
snapshot was replaced by the one produced today.

There is no real need to replace the older snapshot on your system unless
you are interested in the changes listed below.

*  An -l option has been added to testOOrexx.rex to write the test results
to a log file.  An -L option was also added that will append the results to
the named log file.  By default the log file is overwritten.

*  An -x option has been added to testOORexx.rex.  This option will exclude
the test group files listed after the option, from execution.  For example,
the following command line invocation will exclude the
RexxContext.testGroup from being executed:

C:\rexx\ooTest-4.2.0-snapshot06>testOORexx.rex -x RexxContext

*  Some test case failures that were avoidable when run in an unexpected
environment were fixed.

*  The ReadMe.first file has been slightly updated to include some
information on some tests that are known to fail when the test suite is run
in an unexpected environment.

It has always been the hope of the ooRexx development team that users would
help test ooRexx by running the test suite and participate in improving the
test suite by writing test cases.

Any and all questions regarding the test suite, or requests for help in
writing test case, are welcome and will be addressed by one of the
developers.

Thank you,
The ooRexx Project Team
