Changes in version 0.21

Released on October 23rd, 2014.

  • Restored the atf(7) manual page to serve as a reference to all the other
    manual pages shipped by ATF.
  • Added the -s flag to atf-sh to support specifying the shell interpreter
    to be used.
  • Removed ATF_WORKDIR. The only remaining consumers have been converted to
    use the standard TMPDIR environment variable. As a benefit, and because
    Kyua forces the TMPDIR to live within the test case's work directory,
    any stale files left behind by ATF will be automatically cleaned up.
  • Documented the environment variables recognized by each component in the
    relevant manual pages. This information was lost with the atf-config(1)
    removal.
  • Added a new "require.diskspace" metadata property to test cases so that
    they can specify the minimum amount of disk space required for the test
    to run.
  • Renamed the atf-{c,c++,sh}-api(3) manual pages to atf-{c,c++,sh}(3) for
    discoverability purposes. Symbolic links are provided for the time
    being to still make the old names visible.
  • Issue #5: Recommend the (expected, actual) idiom for calls to the test
    macros in the manual pages.
  • Issue #7: Stopped catching unhandled exceptions in atf-c++ tests. This
    propagates the crash to the caller, which in turn allows it to obtain
    proper debugging information. In particular, Kyua should now be able to
    extract a stacktrace pinpointing the problem.
  • Issue #8: Fixed atf-c/macros_test:use test failures spotted by the clang
    that ships with FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT.
  • Issue #12: Improved documentation of atf-sh(3) and atf-check(1) by better
    explaining how they relate to each other.
  • Issue #14: Stopped setting 'set -e' in atf-sh. This setting was
    initially added as a way to enable a "strict" mode in the library and to
    make test cases fail fast when they run unprotected commands. However,
    doing so in the library is surprising as the responsibility of enabling
    'set -e' should be on the user's code. Also, 'set -e' introduces
    inconsistent behavior on subshells and users do not expect that.
  • Issue #15: Fixed atf_utils_{fork,wait} to support nested calls.
  • Issue #16: Fixed test failures (by removing a long-standing hack) on
    systems that lack \e support in printf(1).
  • Issue #19: Removed stale references to atf-config and atf-run.
