----------------------------------------------------
(from: https://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/manual/Release-Notes.html
or from info)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following major, user-visible changes have been introduced since version
1.5.3.
1. Support for target communication via SSH has been added.
2. A large number of very old config and baseboard files have been removed. If
you need to resurrect these, you can get them from version 1.5.3. If you
can show that a board is still in use, it can be put back in the
distribution.
3. The --status command line option is now the default. This means that any
error in the testsuite Tcl scripts will cause runtest to abort with exit
status code 2. The --status option has been removed from the documentation,
but will continue to be accepted for backward compatibility.
4. runtest now exits with exit code 0 if the testsuite "passed", 1 if
something unexpected happened (eg, FAIL, XPASS or UNRESOLVED), and 2 if an
exception is raised by the Tcl interpreter.
5. runtest now exits with the standard exit codes of programs that are
terminated by the SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGQUIT signals.
6. The user-visible utility procedures absolute, psource and slay have been
removed. If a testsuite uses any of these procedures, a copy of the
procedure should be made and placed in the lib directory of the testsuite.
7. Support was added for testing the D compiler.
8. ~/.dejagnurc is now loaded last, not first. This allows the user to have
the ability to override anything in their environment (even the site.exp
file specified by $DEJAGNU).
9. The user-visible utility procedure unsetenv is deprecated and will be
removed in the next release. If a testsuite uses this procedure, a copy
should be made and placed in the lib directory of the testsuite.
- Revive make test (remove TEST_TARGET= # empty line)
Found that expect segfaults at make test if hostname lookup fails,
but it is environment issue only.

-------------------------
Changes since 1.4.4:
1. The runtest.1 man page has been brought up to date.
2. The Docbook/SGML documentation files were removed in favour of the
Docbook/XML documentation. The Texinfo source for the Info pages is
now automatically generated from the Docbook source.
3. The Makefile structure has been substantially simplified. There
is now a single top-level Makefile.am. The use of recursive make
has been eliminated.
4. lib/mondfe.exp and lib/xsh.exp have been removed. Users requiring
these communication modes can still use the DejaGnu 1.4 branch or
can contact dejagnu@gnu.org to discuss reinstating these files.
5. The configure script now ensures that Expect is installed and that
it is linked against Tcl 8.3 or greater.
6. The runtest program now gracefully handles the possibility of the
expect binary vanishing after DejaGnu has been installed (for
example, by the user altering their PATH).
7. The user-visible utility procedures `absolute', `prune', `psource'
and `slay' are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
If a testsuite uses any of these procedures, a copy of the
procedure should be made and placed in the lib directory of the
testsuite.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Changes from 1.4.3 include:
1. New XML output option, so test results can be loaded into a database.
2. Support for the KFAIL/KPASS (known failures).
6. BlueGnu has been removed from the contrib directory.
7. The contrib/test* scipts were bitrotten and have been removed. If
you still want copies of these, they can be found in the previous
DejaGnu release.
8. i960glue.c has been removed.
gcc.gnu.org:
2003-06-13 Jason Thorpe <thorpej@wasabisystems.com>
* lib/target.exp (prune_warnings): Add two more linker
warning patterns for warnings generated by modern verions
of NetBSD.
Changes since 1.4.1 include:
- New XML output option, so test results can be loaded into a database.
- Support for the KFAIL/KPASS (known failures). This is mostly oriented
towards GDB testing.
- New tutorial chapter.
- Test case builds with either libstdc++-v3 (as used by gcc-3.0.x) or the
older v2.(as used by gcc-2.95.x)
provide a single front end for all tests. Beyond this, DejaGnu offers
several advantages for testing:
- The flexibility and consistency of the DejaGnu framework
make it easy to write tests for any program.
- DejaGnu provides a layer of abstraction which makes all
tests (if correctly written) portable to any host or target
where a program must be tested. For instance, a test for
GDB can run (from any Unix based host) on any target
architecture supported by DejaGnu. Currently DejaGnu runs
tests on several single board computers, whose operating
software ranges from just a boot monitor to a full-fledged,
Unix-like realtime OS.
- DejaGnu is written in expect, which in turn uses Tcl
(Tool command language). The framework comprises two parts:
the testing framework and the testsuites themselves. Tests
are usually written in expect using Tcl.
