Import atf 0.19:

Changes in version 0.19
***********************

Experimental version released on February 7th, 2014.

This is the last release to bundle the code for the deprecated tools.
The next release will drop their code and will stop worrying about
backwards compatibility between the ATF libraries and what the old tools
may or may not support.

If you still require the old tools for some reason, grab a copy of the
'tools' directory now. The code in this directory is standalone and
does not depend on any internal details of atf-c++ any longer.

* Various fixes and improvements to support running as part of the FreeBSD
test suite.

* Project hosting moved from Google Code (as a subproject of Kyua) to
GitHub (as a first-class project). The main reason for the change is
the suppression of binary downloads in Google Code on Jan 15th, 2014.
See https://github.com/jmmv/atf/

* Removed builtin help from atf-sh(1) and atf-check(1) for simplicity
reasons. In other words, their -h option is gone.

* Moved the code of the deprecated tools into a 'tools' directory and
completely decoupled their code from the internals of atf-c++. The
reason for this is to painlessly allow a third-party to maintain a
copy of these tools after we delete them because upcoming changes to
atf-c++ would break the stale tools.


Changes in version 0.18
***********************

Experimental version released on November 16th, 2013.

* Issue 45: Added require.memory support in atf-run for FreeBSD.

* Fixed an issue with the handling of cin with libc++.

* Issue 64: Fixed various mandoc formatting warnings.

* NetBSD PR bin/48284: Made atf-check flush its progress message to
stdout so that an interrupted test case always shows the last message
being executed.

* NetBSD PR bin/48285: Fixed atf_check examples in atf-sh-api(3).

Import atf 0.17:

Experimental version released on February 14th, 2013.

* Added the atf_utils_cat_file, atf_utils_compare_file,
atf_utils_copy_file, atf_utils_create_file, atf_utils_file_exists,
atf_utils_fork, atf_utils_grep_file, atf_utils_grep_string,
atf_utils_readline, atf_utils_redirect and atf_utils_wait utility
functions to atf-c-api. Documented the already-public
atf_utils_free_charpp function.

* Added the cat_file, compare_file, copy_file, create_file, file_exists,
fork, grep_collection, grep_file, grep_string, redirect and wait
functions to the atf::utils namespace of atf-c++-api. These are
wrappers around the same functions added to the atf-c-api library.

* Added the ATF_CHECK_MATCH, ATF_CHECK_MATCH_MSG, ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH and
ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH_MSG macros to atf-c to simplify the validation of a
string against a regular expression.

* Miscellaneous fixes for manpage typos and compilation problems with
clang.

* Added caching of the results of those configure tests that rely on
executing a test program. This should help crossbuild systems by
providing a mechanism to pre-specify what the results should be.

* PR bin/45690: Make atf-report convert any non-printable characters to
a plain-text representation (matching their corresponding hexadecimal
entities) in XML output files. This is to prevent the output of test
cases from breaking xsltproc later.

Import atf 0.16:

Experimental version released on July 10th, 2012.

* Added a --enable-tools flag to configure to request the build of the
deprecated ATF tools, whose build is now disabled by default. In order
to continue running tests, you should migrate to Kyua instead of enabling
the build of the deprecated tools. The kyua-atf-compat package provides
transitional compatibility versions of atf-run and atf-report built on
top of Kyua.

* Tweaked the ATF_TEST_CASE macro of atf-c++ so that the compiler can
detect defined but unused test cases.

* PR bin/45859: Fixed some XSLT bugs that resulted in the tc-time and
tp-time XML tags leaking into the generated HTML file. Also improved
the CSS file slightly to correct alignment and color issues with the
timestamps column.

* Optimized atf-c++/macros.hpp so that GNU G++ consumes less memory during
compilation with GNU G++.

* Flipped the default to building shared libraries for atf-c and atf-c++,
and started versioning them. As a side-effect, this removes the
--enable-unstable-shared flag from configure that appears to not work any
more (under NetBSD). Additionally, some distributions require the use of
shared libraries for proper dependency tracking (e.g. Fedora), so it is
better if we do the right versioning upstream.

* Project hosting moved from an adhoc solution (custom web site and
Monotone repository) to Google Code (standard wiki and Git). ATF now
lives in a subcomponent of the Kyua project.

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-0.11:

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.
