+
+ tap: fix typo in TAP driver version message
+ * lib/tap-driver (anonymous subroutine printing the script version
+ message): Add missing trailing newline to the version message.
+
+ 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tap docs: we don't support pragma or version directives (yet)
+ * doc/automake.texi (Incompatibilities with other TAP parsers
+ and drivers): Document that limitation. Normalize an unrelated
+ "TODO" item.
+
+ 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tap: new option to change the string designating TAP diagnostic
+ Here we introduce a new option `--diagnostic-string' in our TAP
+ test driver, that allows the user to specify which string should
+ denote the beginning of a TAP diagnostic line. This change is
+ not gratuitous, nor result if over-engineering: it is motivated
+ by real issues that have emerged during the use of TAP in the
+ Automake's own testsuite (see the commit `v1.11-1082-g9b967c2'
+ "testsuite: yet more use of TAP, and related extensions").
+ * doc/automake.texi (Use TAP with Automake test harness): Document
+ the new option.
+ (Incompatibilities with other TAP parsers and drivers): Report it
+ as a potential source of incompatibility.
+ * lib/tap-driver ($diag_string): New global variable, defaulting
+ to "#", and whose value can be changed ...
+ (Getopt::Long::GetOptions): ... by the newly recognized option
+ `--diagnostic-string'.
+ (handle_tap_comment): Subroutine removed, some of its simple logic
+ inlined ...
+ (main): ... in here, where now ...
+ (extract_tap_comment): ... this new subroutine is used.
+ ($USAGE): Adjust.
+ * tests/tap-diagnostic.test: Make one check slightly stricter.
+ * tests/tap-diag-custom.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (tap_other_tests): Add it.
+
+ 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ check: add small "synchronization" comment to `test-driver'
+ * lib/test-driver: Add comment to the code initializing ANSI color
+ escapes, telling to keep it in sync with the similar initialization
+ in `lib/am/check.am'.
+
+ 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ maintcheck: fix spurious failure w.r.t. use of bare "exit"
+ * tests/check12.test: Cosmetic changes to avoid triggering a
+ spurious failure of the `sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer
+ check.
+
+ 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ check: update comments to reflect recent heavy changes
+ * lib/am/check.am [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%]: Update the comments to
+ reflect the recent changes. Remove quite many comments that
+ were merely duplicating excerpts from the Automake manual.
+
+ 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ check: small cleanups and refactorings in test harness and drivers
+ * lib/tap-driver (yn): New subroutine, converts a boolean value to
+ a "yes" or "no" string.
+ (write_test_results): Use it, and related reformatting.
+ * lib/test-driver (trap): Also remove the `.trs' file on signals,
+ for extra safety.
+ (fatal): Remove this function, it's never used.
+ ($logfile, $trsfile): Renamed ...
+ ($log_file, $trs_file): ... to these, for clarity, and in order to
+ be more consistent with the `tap-driver' script.
+ Improve a couple of comments.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): Don't define anymore the now-obsolete
+ make macro `$(TEST_LOGS_TMP)', nor add it to the list of files to
+ be removed upon "make mostlyclean".
+ * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): New shell function `f_ok',
+ tells whether a path refers to an existing, regular, readable file.
+ Use it throughout.
+ (recheck): Be safer w.r.t. make implementation that run recipes
+ with `errexit' shell flag active.
+
+ 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ testsuite: use AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT where appropriate
+ * parallel-tests-interrupt.test: Use AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT, not
+ AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, to define file descriptors' redirection
+ for "make check". Fix botched comment.
+
+ 2011-08-05 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ docs: some fixlets in documentation on testsuites support
+ * doc/automake.texi (Script-based Testsuites): Rename node ...
+ (Scripts-based Testsuites): ... to this. Break overly long lines
+ in an example (were causing problems with PDF output).
+ (Parallel Test Harness): Don't intend paragraphs that come after
+ examples or bulleted list.
+ (Overview of Custom Test Drivers Support): Fix typo s/the the/the/.
+ (Declaring Custom Test Drivers): When giving an aside, prefer comma
+ to parentheses, as it disrupts the reading flow less.
+ (API for Custom Test Drivers): Remove a sentence that was basically
+ duplicated from the previous subsection.
+ (Command-line arguments for test drivers): Don't intend paragraph
+ coming after an itemized list. Clarify wording and fix grammaros.
+ Add a couple of cross-references to earlier explanations of `.log'
+ and `.trs' files.
+ (Links and external resources): Node renamed ...
+ (Links and external resources on TAP): ... to this, for clarity.
+ Slightly extend and clarify introductory sentence.
+
+ 2011-08-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ test harness: be aware of more metadata, simplify test drivers
+ * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): When producing the
+ global test log, take into account the new metadata field
+ `:global-test-result:, to write nicely formatted RST section
+ titles, instead of leaving this chore to the individual test
+ drivers.
+ (am_rst_section): Re-introduce this variable, as removed in
+ commit `v1.11-870-ga27c9c4'.
+ * lib/test-driver, lib/tap-driver: Write the global test result
+ as metadata in the `.trs' file, not as (part of) a formatted RST
+ subsection title in the `.log' file. Related simplifications;
+ in particular, get rid of temporary files usage.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Log files generation and test results
+ recording): Document the new metadata.
+ * tests/check12.test: Update.
+ * tests/parallel-tests-harderror.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/parallel-tests-interrupt.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-2.test: Likewise.

+ * tests/test-metadata-results.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/test-log.test: Likewise, and another minor unrelated fix.
+ * tests/test-metadata-global-result.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+ 2011-08-03 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tap: check that also a trailing TAP plan can hold a skip directive
+ * tests/tap-skip-whole-lastline.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (tap_with_common_setup_tests): Add it.
+
+2011-08-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ testsuite: more correct names for a couple of tests
+ * tests/parallel-tests-ext-driver.test: Rename ...
+ * tests/parallel-tests-log-compiler-1.test: ... to this, and
+ adjust heading comments.
+ * tests/parallel-tests-ext-driver-prog.test: Rename ...
+ * tests/parallel-tests-log-compiler-2.test: ... to this, and
+ adjust heading comments.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+
+2011-08-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ testsuite: fix another spurious failure
+ * tests/parallel-tests-ext-driver.test: Name out custom/dummy
+ log compilers as `foo-compiler' rather `foo-driver'; not only
+ this is less confusing, it also avoids errors due to the dummy
+ log compiler `test-driver' overriding the `test-driver' helper
+ script installed by Automake.
+ * tests/parallel-tests-ext-driver-prog.test: Adjust heading
+ comments.
+
+2011-08-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ testsuite: fix a spurious failure
+ * tests/parallel-tests-ext-driver.test: Exporting of environment
+ variables directly from $(LOG_COMPILER) variables is not allowed
+ anymore. Adjust to this.
+
+2011-08-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ testsuite: yet more use of TAP, and related extensions
+ * tests/defs (show_): New function, display the contents of one or
+ more files on stdout, with bells & whistles (both for cosmetic and
+ practical reasons, the latter aimed at avoiding spurious TAP
+ diagnostic).
+ (AUTOMAKE_run): Extend and adapt to make it compatible with TAP
+ based tests. Since we are at it, make its implementation more
+ namespace-safe, and improve its command-line interface.
+ (AUTOMAKE_fails): Adapt to the new command-line interface of
+ `AUTOMAKE_run'.
+ * tests/add-missing.test: Renamed ...
+ * tests/add-missing.tap: ... to this, and converted to the use
+ of the TAP protocol, and of the new `show_' function.
+ * tests/automake.test: Renamed ...
+ * tests/automake-cmdline.tap: ... to this, and converted to the
+ use of the TAP protocol.
+ * tests/getopt.test: Adapt to the new command-line interface
+ of `AUTOMAKE_run'.
+ * tests/cond44.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/cond45.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/configure.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/license2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/parallel-am.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/parallel-am3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/tags2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/werror3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/werror4.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/amopts-variable-expansion.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/warnings-win-over-strictness.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+ (TAP_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS): Add `--merge', so that TAP diagnostic is
+ reported in the testsuite progress output.
