[xmlroff] ANN: xmlroff-testing 0.3.0

[Tony G. <Ton...@Su...>]

From http://xmlroff.org/news.html (which we all know is from RSS):

xmlroff-testing is a framework for running the xmlroff XSL formatter
(http://xmlroff.org/) on test stylesheets, comparing the results
against reference output, and producing a summary report as well as
individual reports for each test. Using the provided CGI script, you
can also update each test's record from the test's report
page. xmlroff-testing 0.3.0 is over 90% faster than the previous
version when the test output hasn't changed since it only rasterizes
pages and compares results when the PDF output has actually changed.


From the NEWS file:

Changes between 0.2.7 and 0.3.0:

* Runs tests in less than 10% of previous time if no changes in PDF
  output.
* Minor improvements to format of individual reports.
* Now checks log files for diffs.
