<p>Erlang/OTP can now be built using parallel make if you
limit the number of jobs, for instance using '<c>make
-j6</c>' or '<c>make -j10</c>'. '<c>make -j</c>' does not
work at the moment because of some missing
dependencies.</p>

<p>
Generate separate surefire XMLs for each test suite</p>
<p>
Previously the test cases of all test suites (=modules)
were put in one and the same surefire report XML thereby
breaking the principle of least astonishment and making
post analysis harder. Assume the following layout:</p>
<p>
src/x.erl src/y.erl test/x_tests.erl test/y_tests.erl</p>
<p>
The results for both x_tests and y_tests were written to
only one report grouped under either module x or y
(seemingly randomly).</p>
<p>
Now two reports, one for module x and one for y are
generated. (Thanks to Klas Johansson)</p>

Updated to EUnit version 2.2.0</p>
<p>
New macros assertNotMatch(Guard, Expr),
assertNotEqual(Unexpected, Expr), and
assertNotException(Class, Term, Expr). </p>
<p>
The debugMsg macro now also prints the pid of the current
process.</p>
<p>
When testing all modules in a directory, tests in
Module_tests.erl are no longer executed twice.</p>
<p>
The use of regexp internally has been replaced with re.

<p>
Increase depth of error messages in Eunit Surefire
reports</p>
<p>
Currently, error messages in Eunit Surefire reports are
shortened just like when written to a terminal. However,
the space limitations that constrain terminal output do
not apply here, so it's more useful to include more of
the error message. The new depth of 100 should be enough
for most cases, while protecting against runaway errors.
(Thanks to Magnus Henoch)</p>

<p>
Don't let eunit_surefire report back to eunit when
stopping</p>
<p>
When eunit is terminating, a stop message is sent to all
listeners and eunit then waits for *one* result message
but previously both eunit_tty and eunit_surefire sent a
response on error. Don't send a result message from
eunit_surefire; let eunit_tty take care of all result
reporting, both positive and negative to avoid race
conditions and inconsistencies. (Thanks to Klas
Johansson)</p>

<item>
<p>The documentation is now possible to build in an open
source environment after a number of bugs are fixed and
some features are added in the documentation build
process. </p>
<p>- The arity calculation is updated.</p>
<p>- The module prefix used in the function names for
bif's are removed in the generated links so the links
will look like
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2"
instead of
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".</p>
<p>- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html
documentation when a new page is loaded.</p>
<p>- A number of corrections in the generation of man
pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)</p>
<p>- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so
OTP's build process can be used for non OTP
applications.</p>

The documentation is now built with open source tools
(xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One
visible change is that the frames are removed.</p>

<section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
<list>
<item>
<p>Mostly internal changes, in particular to the event
protocol; fixes problems with timeouts that could cause
eunit to hang, and makes it much easier to write new
reporting back-ends.</p>
<p>New "surefire" report backend for Maven and
Bamboo.</p>
<p>The test representation is no longer traversed twice
(the first pass was for enumeration only). This
eliminates some strange restrictions on how generators
can be written, but it also means that reports cannot be
quite as complete as before in the event of skipped
tests.</p>
