[Texttest-users] TextTest 4.4.7 released!

[Geoff B. <geo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Some new features this time and a few fixes from Michael. ChangeLog below.

Regards,
Geoff Bache

New development:
Added new config setting "discard_file_if_empty".
  - This allows treating empty files as equivalent to non-existent, meaning
you don't need to check them into your repo.
    For example stderr files.
Added new config setting "detect_file_changes_by_checksum".
  - TextTest by default detects file changes via "Last Modified" time, but
some systems edit files without changing this for whatever reason.
    In this case TextTest will neither include them in its "catalogue"
files ("create_catalogues" setting) or collate the changed version to its
baseline ("collate_file")
    With the new flag set it will use the checksums instead and notice the
edits.
