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.

branches: 1.1.1.2.6; Import atf 0.12:
Experimental version released on November 7th, 2010.
* Added the ATF_REQUIRE_THROW_RE to atf-c++, which is the same as ATF_REQUIRE_THROW but allows checking for the validity of the exception's error message by means of a regular expression.
* Added the ATF_REQUIRE_MATCH to atf-c++, which allows checking for a regular expression match in a string.
* Changed the default timeout for test cases from 5 minutes to 30 seconds. 30 seconds is long enough for virtually all tests to complete, and 5 minutes is a way too long pause in a test suite where a single test case stalls.
* Deprecated the use.fs property. While this seemed like a good idea in the first place to impose more control on what test cases can do, it turns out to be bad. First, use.fs=false prevents bogus test cases from dumping core so after-the-fact debugging is harder. Second, supporting use.fs adds a lot of unnecessary complexity. atf-run will now ignore any value provided to use.fs and will allow test cases to freely access the file system if they wish to.
* Added the atf_tc_get_config_var_as_{bool,long}{,_wd} functions to the atf-c library. The 'text' module became private in 0.11 but was being used externally to simplify the parsing of configuration variables.
* Made atf-run recognize the 'unprivileged-user' configuration variable and automatically drop root privileges when a test case sets require.user=unprivileged. Note that this is, by no means, done for security purposes; this is just for user convenience; tests should, in general, not be blindly run as root in the first place.

Import atf 0.10:
Miscellaneous features
* Added expected failures support to test cases and atf-run. These include, for example, expected clean exits, expected reception of fatal signals, expected timeouts and expected errors in condition checks. These statuses can be used to denote test cases that are known to fail due to a bug in the code they are testing. atf-report reports these tests separately but they do not count towards the failed test cases amount.
* Added the ATF_CHECK_ERRNO and ATF_REQUIRE_ERRNO to the C library to allow easy checking of call failures that update errno.
* Added the has.cleanup meta-data property to test caes that specifies whether the test case has a cleanup routine or not; its value is automatically set. This property is read by atf-run to know if it has to run the cleanup routine; skipping this run for every test case significantly speeds up the run time of test suites.
* Reversed the order of the ATF_CHECK_THROW macro in the C++ binding to take the expected exception as the first argument and the statement to execute as the second argument.
Changes in atf-check
* Changed atf-check to support negating the status and output checks by prefixing them with not- and added support to specify multiple checkers for stdout and stderr, not only one.
* Added the match output checker to atf-check to look for regular expressions in the stdout and stderr of commands.
* Modified the exit checks in atf-check to support checking for the reception of signals.
Code simplifications and cleanups
* Removed usage messages from test programs to simplify the implementation of every binding by a significant amount. They just now refer the user to the appropriate manual page and do not attempt to wrap lines on terminal boundaries. Test programs are not supposed to be run by users directly so this minor interface regression is not important.
* Removed the atf-format internal utility, which is unused after the change documented above.
* Removed the atf-cleanup internal utility. It has been unused since the test case isolation was moved to atf-run in 0.8
* Splitted the Makefile.am into smaller files for easier maintenance and dropped the use of M4. Only affects users building from the repository sources.
* Intermixed tests with the source files in the source tree to provide them more visibility and easier access. The tests directory is gone from the source tree and tests are now suffixed by _test, not prefixed by t_.
* Simplifications to the atf-c library: removed the io, tcr and ui modules as they had become unnecessary after all simplifications introduced since the 0.8 release.
* Removed the application/X-atf-tcr format introduced in 0.8 release. Tests now print a much simplified format that is easy to parse and nicer to read by end users. As a side effect, the default for test cases is now to print their results to stdout unless otherwise stated by providing the -r flag.
* Removed XML distribution documents and replaced them with plain-text documents. They provided little value and introduced a lot of complexity to the build system.
* Simplified the output of atf-version by not attempting to print a revision number when building form a distfile. Makes the build system easier to maintain.
