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 0.15: 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 0.7. Changes in this release:

* Added build-time checks to atf-c and atf-c++. A binding for atf-sh
will come later.

* Migrated all build-time checks for header files to proper ATF tests.
This demonstrates the use of the new feature described above.

* Added an internal API for child process management.

* Converted all plain-text distribution documents to a Docbook canonical
version, and include pre-generated plain text and HTML copies in the
distribution file.

* Simplified the contents of the Makefile.am by regenerating it from a
canonical Makefile.am.m4 source. As a side-effect, some dependency
specifications were fixed.

* Migrated all checks from the check target to installcheck, as these
require ATF to be installed.

* Fixed sign comparison mismatches triggered by the now-enabled
-Wsign-compare.

* Fixed many memory and object leaks.

Import ATF 0.6. Replaces the old ATF 0.5 that was in dist/atf.

Changes in this release:

* Make atf-exec be able to kill its child process after a certain period of
time; this is controlled through the new -t option.

* Change atf-sh to use atf-exec's -t option to control the test case's
timeouts, instead of doing it internally. Same behavior as before, but
noticeably faster.

* atf-exec's -g option and atf-killpg are gone due to the previous change.

* Added the atf-check(1) tool, a program that executes a given command and
checks its exit code against a known value and allows the management of
stdout and stderr in multiple ways. This replaces the previous atf_check
function in the atf-sh library and exposes this functionality to both
atf-c and atf-c++.

* Added the ATF_REQUIRE family of macros to the C interface. These help
in checking for fatal test conditions. The old ATF_CHECK macros now
perform non-fatal checks only. I.e. by using ATF_CHECK, the test case
can now continue its execution and the failures will not be reported
until the end of the whole run.

* Extended the amount of ATF_CHECK_* C macros with new ones to provide more
features to the developer. These also have their corresponding
counterparts in the ATF_REQUIRE_* family. The new macros (listing the
suffixes only) are: _EQ (replaces _EQUAL), _EQ_MSG, _STREQ and
_STREQ_MSG.
