v1.0.0

These notes describe changes since the previous v0.3.0 version from
April 3 2013.

The new v1.0.0 version contains both many upstream fixes and
improvements from Git and a lot of specific user contributed features.

We think that Sharness is used and supported by enough projects and
developers, and stable enough, now to be ready for a v1.0.0 version.

Externally visible features:

  • Add a 'cleanup' api to register cleanup actions, thanks to Dennis
    Kaarsemaker.
  • Add simple test_seq(), thanks to Christian Couder.
  • Add test_pause() from Git, thanks to Christian Couder.
  • Add test_must_be_empty(), thanks to Konstantin Koroviev.
  • Add SHARNESS_TEST_SRCDIR to run tests from a different directory,
    thanks to Mark A. Grondona.
  • Implement --long-tests to run EXPENSIVE tests, thanks to Matthieu
    Moy.
  • Support extensions in a sharness.d directory, thanks to Mark
    A. Grondona.
  • Interactive tests, thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker.

Internal improvements and bug fixes:

  • Add a linter that detects broken && chains, thanks to Dennis
    Kaarsemaker.
  • Export SHELL_PATH, thanks to Christian Couder.
  • Fix color support when tput needs ~/.terminfo, thanks to Richard
    Hansen.
  • Fix pathname of test-results/*.counts file, thanks to Richard
    Hansen.
  • Sort test scripts before running them, thanks to Richard Hansen.
  • Use SHARNESS_TRASH_DIRECTORY to enter the trash directory and drop
    the test_dir internal variable, thanks to Alexander Sulfrian.
  • A lot of new TTY and sub sharness related tests, thanks to Mark
    A. Grondona.
  • Build on Travis-CI using a container based build infrastructure,
    thanks to Mark A. Grondona.

Documentation improvements:

  • Mention the Sharness Cookbook in the README, thanks to Mathias
    Lafeldt.
  • Add alternatives to Sharness like Cram, rnt and ts to the README,
    thanks to Roman Neuhauser and Simon Chiang.
  • Consistent Markdown headings, thanks to Mathias Lafeldt.
  • Replace Contact with Author section, thanks to Mathias Lafeldt.
  • New CONTRIBUTING.md document, thanks to Christian Couder.
  • Mention Sharnessify a new installation tool, thanks to
    Christian Couder.
  • Usage clarifications, thanks to Matthieu Moy.
  • Improved flag descriptions in the README, thanks to Matthieu Moy.

Maintainer and project changes:

  • Mathias Lafeldt, who created Sharness by extracting it from the
    Git codebase in April 2011, decided to step down and pass on the
    maintainership to Christian Couder. Thanks a lot, Mathias, for
    creating Sharness and maintaining it during all these years!
  • Following the above point, Mathias transfered the Sharness
    GitHub repository to Christian, so the project can now be found on:
    https://github.com/chriscool/sharness and its web page is now:
