Kyua 0.4 released

Dear readers,

I am very pleased to announce that Kyua 0.4 is available for download!

This new release brings in a lot of new features. The major highlights are:
  • Preliminary HTML reports for test suite runs. These are still very rudimentary and lack a lot of detail, but you can start playing with them.
  • Better CLI presentation. Long lines now wrap on word boundaries and continuation lines are padded as needed to make reading easier.
  • New configuration engine. The parsing of configuration files has been completely reworked internally. While this has no user-visible effects now, it paves the way for further customization in upcoming releases.
  • Ability to disable the build of the tests that ship with Kyua. This is only to simplify the bootstrapping of Kyua on arbitrary systems, and to allow an easier creation of packages for a variety of Linux distributions (including Fedora and Debian).
The devel/yua-cli package in pkgsrc has been updated to this new release just now. A package for Fedora 17 is in the review stage, as the possibility of having such a package was blocked on the 0.4 release; expect this to be widely available within the next two/three weeks. A package for Debian should be coming as soon as I clear the prerequisites (ATF and Lutok).

Enjoy this new release!

  1. ATF/Kyua packages for Debian (and Fedora) is a really great news ! It should really boost the number of users.

    Thanks a lot for all the work !
