Changes for 1.6.0:
* New feature: ADD_FAILURE_AT() for reporting a test failure at the
given source location -- useful for writing testing utilities.
* New feature: the universal value printer is moved from Google Mock
to Google Test.
* New feature: type parameters and value parameters are reported in
the XML report now.
* A gtest_disable_pthreads CMake option.
* Colored output works in GNU Screen sessions now.
* Parameters of value-parameterized tests are now printed in the
textual output.
* Failures from ad hoc test assertions run before RUN_ALL_TESTS() are
now correctly reported.
* Arguments of ASSERT_XY and EXPECT_XY no longer need to support << to
ostream.
* More complete handling of exceptions.
* GTEST_ASSERT_XY can be used instead of ASSERT_XY in case the latter
name is already used by another library.
* --gtest_catch_exceptions is now true by default, allowing a test
program to continue after an exception is thrown.
* Value-parameterized test fixtures can now derive from Test and
WithParamInterface<T> separately, easing conversion of legacy tests.
* Death test messages are clearly marked to make them more
distinguishable from other messages.
* Compatibility fixes for Android, Google Native Client, MinGW, HP UX,
PowerPC, Lucid autotools, libCStd, Sun C++, Borland C++ Builder (Code Gear),
IBM XL C++ (Visual Age C++), and C++0x.
* Bug fixes and implementation clean-ups.
* Potentially incompatible changes: disables the harmful 'make install'
command in autotools.
Changes for 1.5.0:
* New feature: assertions can be safely called in multiple threads
where the pthreads library is available.
* New feature: predicates used inside EXPECT_TRUE() and friends
can now generate custom failure messages.
* New feature: Google Test can now be compiled as a DLL.
* New feature: fused source files are included.
* New feature: prints help when encountering unrecognized Google Test flags.
* Experimental feature: CMake build script (requires CMake 2.6.4+).
* Experimental feature: the Pump script for meta programming.
* double values streamed to an assertion are printed with enough precision
to differentiate any two different values.
* Google Test now works on Solaris and AIX.
* Build and test script improvements.
* Bug fixes and implementation clean-ups.
Potentially breaking changes:
* Stopped supporting VC++ 7.1 with exceptions disabled.
* Dropped support for 'make install'.
I will import later.
I should not have imported it during a freeze.
(On that note, anyway to improve cvs to notify during freezes?
Like maybe during the CVS log entry template?)
The googletest package provides Google's C++ test writing framework.
It is based on the xUnit architecture and works for a variety of
platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Cygwin, Windows CE, and
Symbian). It provides various options for running the tests, a
rich set of assertions, automatic test discovery, and XML test
report generation. It supports type- and value-parameterized tests,
death tests, fatal and non-fatal failures, and user-defined
assertions.
