Dear All,

The Linux Test Project test suite <http://www.linuxtestproject.org> has 
been released for the month of JULY 2007. The latest version of the 
test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux OS and can be found at 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp-full-20070731.tgz?download. 
Latest happenings in LTP can be found at 
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/ and 
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php. Our web site also contains 
other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

Release Highlights:
* Updation of OPEN_POSIX_TESTSUITE to version 1.5.2 ,
* KDUMP testcases getting more matured,
* 'fsx-linux' testcase for "Distributed filesystem coherency" being made 
uniform across LTP,
* Gcov-kernel patch for 2.6.22, and other updation for LCOV
* Many more patches to fix Bugs/anomalies in various test cases

Note(s) from the Maintainer:
Work has been initiated to improve LTP log formats, fix false positives 
and add new test-cases to LTP. We are also in discussion to start 
*LTP-DASH-MM* tree within LTP, which would incorporate test-cases for 
newly developed/built Kernel features. The Idea is to merge the same 
test-cases into LTP once those features becomes part of the main kernel. 
Would request your suggestions on this too.


We encourage the community to post results to ltp-results@lists.sf.net, 
and patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to 
ltp-list@lists.sf.net,

New Bug(s)),
