It turned out that the current work to introduce TAP and SubUnit support in Automake-generated testsuite harnesses will probably require the introduction of slight incompatibilities in the 'parallel-tests' behaviour, starting from release 1.12 onward. So it's advisable to continue to characterize the 'parallel-tests' support as "experimental" in maintenance release 1.11.2. Suggestion from Ralf Wildenhues. --- diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index f87c8bf46..e3108e042 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -321,18 +321,6 @@ when cross compiling.
