+ <p>
+ The test result when a hook function fails is in general
+ the same as if the function that the hook is associated
+ with fails. For example, if <c>post_init_per_testcase</c>
+ fails the result is that the test case is skipped, as is
+ the case when <c>init_per_testcase</c> fails.This,
+ however, was earlier not true for timetrap timeouts or
+ other error situations where the process running the hook
+ function was killed. This is now corrected, so the error
+ handling should be the same no matter how the hook
+ function fails.</p>

+ In some rare cases, when two common_test nodes used the
+ same log directory, a timing problem could occur which
+ caused common_test to crash because it's log cache file
+ was unexpectedly empty. This is now corrected.</p>

+ <p>
+ Two new common_test hook functions are introduced:</p>
+ <p>
+ <c>post_groups/2</c>, which is called after
+ <c>Suite:groups/0</c><br/> <c>post_all/3</c>, which is
+ called after <c>Suite:all/0</c></p>
+ <p>
+ These functions allow modifying the return values from
+ the <c>groups/0</c> and <c>all/0</c> functions,
+ respectively.</p>
+ <p>
+ A new term, <c>{testcase,TestCase,RepeatProperties}</c>
+ is now also allowed in the return from <c>all/0</c>. This
+ can be used for repeating a single test case a specific
+ number of times, or until it fails or succeeds once.</p>
