Since the last release 311 patches by 24 authors were merged. Notable changes are: * New testcases and improved coverage for: madvise, waitid, timerfd_*, getcwd, sched_setaffinity, sendfile, vmsplice, rename, renameat, open, openat, readlink, readlinkat, utime, wait, utimes, truncate, fstatfs, statvfs, statfs, splice, tee, setpgid, sbrk, readdir, setresgid, setresuid, rmdir, perf_event_open, ... * Continued effort to cleanup old code: - many CRAY, SGI, ... ifdefs were removed - the test library headers were cleaned up a bit - several testcases were cleaned up or rewritten from a scratch * The TCONF (testcase not appropriate for current configuration) test status is now propagated to the test exit value and included in the testrun results. (previously it was reported as passed) * Testcases utilizing a block device can now prepare a loopback device automatically in the test setup. * LTP test library has gained API to easily propagate test result from a child process to a parent process. * Linux containers testcases were cleaned up. * The can network test were fixed and cleaned up. * The isofs testcases were fixed and cleaned up. * Test messages for failures now contain source code filename and line. * If test gets an unexpected signal the message contains not only the signal number but also symbolic name such as SIGINT. * Various fixes for failures on Btrfs filesystem, on PPC64 LE, SPARC64 and inside of KVM virtual machine. * And many more smaller fixes and enhancements. The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux and can be downloaded at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ltp/files/LTP%20Source/ltp-20140828/ The project pages as well as GIT repository are hosted on GitHub for quite some time now: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp http://linux-test-project.github.io/ If you ever wondered how to write a LTP testcase, don't miss our (continuously updated) developer documentation at: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/BuildSystem Patches, new tests, bugs, comments or questions should go to to our mailing list at ltp-list@lists.sf.net. -- Cyril Hrubis chrubis@suse.cz
