1Changes for 1.7.0:
2
3* New feature: death tests are supported on OpenBSD and in iOS
4 simulator now.
5* New feature: Google Test now implements a protocol to allow
6 a test runner to detect that a test program has exited
7 prematurely and report it as a failure (before it would be
8 falsely reported as a success if the exit code is 0).
9* New feature: Test::RecordProperty() can now be used outside of the
10 lifespan of a test method, in which case it will be attributed to
11 the current test case or the test program in the XML report.
12* New feature (potentially breaking): --gtest_list_tests now prints
13 the type parameters and value parameters for each test.
14* Improvement: char pointers and char arrays are now escaped properly
15 in failure messages.
16* Improvement: failure summary in XML reports now includes file and
17 line information.
18* Improvement: the <testsuites> XML element now has a timestamp attribute.
19* Improvement: When --gtest_filter is specified, XML report now doesn't
20 contain information about tests that are filtered out.
21* Fixed the bug where long --gtest_filter flag values are truncated in
22 death tests.
23* Potentially breaking change: RUN_ALL_TESTS() is now implemented as a
24 function instead of a macro in order to work better with Clang.
25* Compatibility fixes with C++ 11 and various platforms.
26* Bug/warning fixes.
27
28Changes for 1.6.0:
29
30* New feature: ADD_FAILURE_AT() for reporting a test failure at the
31 given source location -- useful for writing testing utilities.
32* New feature: the universal value printer is moved from Google Mock
33 to Google Test.
34* New feature: type parameters and value parameters are reported in
35 the XML report now.
36* A gtest_disable_pthreads CMake option.
37* Colored output works in GNU Screen sessions now.
38* Parameters of value-parameterized tests are now printed in the
39 textual output.
40* Failures from ad hoc test assertions run before RUN_ALL_TESTS() are
41 now correctly reported.
42* Arguments of ASSERT_XY and EXPECT_XY no longer need to support << to
43 ostream.
44* More complete handling of exceptions.
45* GTEST_ASSERT_XY can be used instead of ASSERT_XY in case the latter
46 name is already used by another library.
47* --gtest_catch_exceptions is now true by default, allowing a test
48 program to continue after an exception is thrown.
49* Value-parameterized test fixtures can now derive from Test and
50 WithParamInterface<T> separately, easing conversion of legacy tests.
51* Death test messages are clearly marked to make them more
52 distinguishable from other messages.
53* Compatibility fixes for Android, Google Native Client, MinGW, HP UX,
54 PowerPC, Lucid autotools, libCStd, Sun C++, Borland C++ Builder (Code Gear),
55 IBM XL C++ (Visual Age C++), and C++0x.
56* Bug fixes and implementation clean-ups.
57* Potentially incompatible changes: disables the harmful 'make install'
58 command in autotools.
59
60Changes for 1.5.0:
61
62 * New feature: assertions can be safely called in multiple threads
63 where the pthreads library is available.
64 * New feature: predicates used inside EXPECT_TRUE() and friends
65 can now generate custom failure messages.
66 * New feature: Google Test can now be compiled as a DLL.
67 * New feature: fused source files are included.
68 * New feature: prints help when encountering unrecognized Google Test flags.
69 * Experimental feature: CMake build script (requires CMake 2.6.4+).
70 * Experimental feature: the Pump script for meta programming.
71 * double values streamed to an assertion are printed with enough precision
72 to differentiate any two different values.
73 * Google Test now works on Solaris and AIX.
74 * Build and test script improvements.
75 * Bug fixes and implementation clean-ups.
76
77 Potentially breaking changes:
78
79 * Stopped supporting VC++ 7.1 with exceptions disabled.
80 * Dropped support for 'make install'.
81
82Changes for 1.4.0:
83
84 * New feature: the event listener API
85 * New feature: test shuffling
86 * New feature: the XML report format is closer to junitreport and can
87 be parsed by Hudson now.
88 * New feature: when a test runs under Visual Studio, its failures are
89 integrated in the IDE.
90 * New feature: /MD(d) versions of VC++ projects.
91 * New feature: elapsed time for the tests is printed by default.
92 * New feature: comes with a TR1 tuple implementation such that Boost
93 is no longer needed for Combine().
94 * New feature: EXPECT_DEATH_IF_SUPPORTED macro and friends.
95 * New feature: the Xcode project can now produce static gtest
96 libraries in addition to a framework.

107 --gtest_also_run_disabled_tests.
108 * New feature: the --help flag for printing the usage.
109 * New feature: access to Google Test flag values in user code.
110 * New feature: a script that packs Google Test into one .h and one
111 .cc file for easy deployment.
112 * New feature: support for distributing test functions to multiple
113 machines (requires support from the test runner).
