Lovers on the Sun
New features:
avocado:
- HTML job report plugin, that gives users the ability to generate a nice
and good looking report of the testing activities. - --wrapper feature, that allows users to write scripts to wrap the execution
of test commands. You can use it to profile your QEMU instance during the
test with perf/ltrace, for example. - Support for the GDB remote protocol inside avocado.
- A new config plugin, that allows users to see the current configuration
keys set for their particular instances of avocado, and help you to modify
values if you wish so. - Tweaks and documentation improvements in the requirements.txt file, and the
split of the file into other requirements files, with more specific purpose. - Fix a deadlock that occurred when the main test code has an early abort.
- Fix a temporary dir issue, that had potential security implications.
avocado-virt plugin:
- Introduction of QEMU command line templates, to make it easier for people to
provide specific command lines to be run inside avocado virt specific tests. - Fix a bug in migration process end detection, the code is now more robust and
reliable.
avocado-server:
- Introduction of software components and test environment data models,
preparing the server for a big feature: Automated bisection of failed tests.
