Import atf 0.15: the major goal of this import is to reconcile any local
changes to the atf codebase with upstream code. All local changes should
have been backported, with appropriate portability workarounds where
necessary.

This new release also includes other changes though, such as performance
improvements and bug fixes, and also a major new feature partially
implemented by pgoyette@: the time to execute each test cases and test
program is now recorded and included in the output reports.

The import into NetBSD has been tested natively on amd64 and macppc, and
the full test suite has also been run through anita on amd64 and i386.
No regressions observed... but you never know.

From the NEWS file, the changes in this version are as follows:

Experimental version released on January 16th, 2012.

* Respect stdin in atf-check. The previous release silenced stdin for any
processes spawned by atf, not only test programs, which caused breakage
in tests that pipe data through atf-check.

* Performance improvements to atf-sh.

* Enabled detection of unused parameters and variables in the code and
fixed all warnings.

* Changed the behavior of "developer mode". Compiler warnings are now
enabled unconditionally regardless of whether we are in developer mode or
not; developer mode is now only used to perform strict warning checks and
to enable assertions. Additionally, developer mode is now only
automatically enabled when building from the repository, not for formal
releases.

* Added new Autoconf M4 macros (ATF_ARG_WITH, ATF_CHECK_C and
ATF_CHECK_CXX) to provide a consistent way of defining a --with-arg flag
in configure scripts and detecting the presence of any of the ATF
bindings. Note that ATF_CHECK_SH was already introduced in 0.14, but it
has now been modified to also honor --with-atf if instantiated.

* Added timing support to atf-run / atf-report.

* Added support for a 'require.memory' property, to specify the minimum
amount of physical memory needed by the test case to yield valid results.

* PR bin/45690: Force an ISO-8859-1 encoding in the XML files generated by
atf-report so that invalid data in the output of test cases does not
mangle our report.

Import atf 0.12:

Experimental version released on November 7th, 2010.

* Added the ATF_REQUIRE_THROW_RE to atf-c++, which is the same as
ATF_REQUIRE_THROW but allows checking for the validity of the exception's
error message by means of a regular expression.

* Added the ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH to atf-c++, which allows checking for a
regular expression match in a string.

* Changed the default timeout for test cases from 5 minutes to 30 seconds.
30 seconds is long enough for virtually all tests to complete, and 5
minutes is a way too long pause in a test suite where a single test case
stalls.

* Deprecated the use.fs property. While this seemed like a good idea in
the first place to impose more control on what test cases can do, it
turns out to be bad. First, use.fs=false prevents bogus test cases
from dumping core so after-the-fact debugging is harder. Second,
supporting use.fs adds a lot of unnecessary complexity. atf-run will
now ignore any value provided to use.fs and will allow test cases to
freely access the file system if they wish to.

* Added the atf_tc_get_config_var_as_{bool,long}{,_wd} functions to the atf-c
library. The 'text' module became private in 0.11 but was being used
externally to simplify the parsing of configuration variables.

* Made atf-run recognize the 'unprivileged-user' configuration variable
and automatically drop root privileges when a test case sets
require.user=unprivileged. Note that this is, by no means, done for
security purposes; this is just for user convenience; tests should, in
general, not be blindly run as root in the first place.

Import atf-0.11:

Experimental version released on October 20th, 2010.

* The ATF_CHECK* macros in atf-c++ were renamed to ATF_REQUIRE* to match
their counterparts in atf-c.

* Clearly separated the modules in atf-c that are supposed to be public
from those that are implementation details. The header files for the
internal modules are not installed any more.

* Made the atf-check tool private. It is only required by atf-sh and being
public has the danger of causing confusion. Also, making it private
simplifies the public API of atf.

* Changed atf-sh to enable per-command error checking (set -e) by default.
This catches many cases in which a test case is broken but it is not
reported as such because execution continues.

* Fixed the XSTL and CSS stylesheets to support expected failures.
