+ The tests overview file, index.html, did not always get
+ updated correctly after a new test run. This was because
+ of a bug in the Common Test log cache mechanism which has
+ now been corrected.</p>

+ <p>
+ When a successful test case returns, Common Test should,
+ according to the documentation, send a tc_done event to
+ the event handlers with Result = ok in the data field.
+ However, Common Test sets Result to the return value of
+ the test case instead. Common Test has been modified now
+ to comply with the documentation.</p>

+ A ct_telnet:expect/3 call could never be aborted before
+ an idle_timeout, even if total_timeout had been set to a
+ lower value (i.e. a shorter time). This problem has been
+ fixed.</p>

+ The undocumented return value {skipped,Reason} from
+ config functions and test cases was handled
+ inconsistently. Test cases were e.g. reported as
+ "skipped" to CT Hook functions, but "successful" to event
+ handlers. Now, the above return value is consistently
+ handled the same way as {skip,Reason} and this has also
+ been documented.</p>

+ The Erlang source code to HTML generator would sometimes
+ fail because epp:parse_erl_form/1 could not find and
+ expand required macros in included header files. The
+ problem has been solved by making sure common_test always
+ passes the full include path to epp. Also, a bug that
+ could cause erl_syntax:revert/1 to fail because of a
+ badly formed syntax tree has been corrected.</p>

+ Printouts by means of ct:log/2/3 or ct:pal/2/3 from the
+ hook functions on_tc_fail/2 and on_tc_skip/2 would (quite
+ unexpectedly) end up in the "unexpected i/o" log file
+ instead of in the test case log file. This behaviour has
+ been changed so that now, all printouts (including stdio
+ printouts) from these hook functions will be routed to
+ the test case log file.</p>

+ ct_netconfc:action/3 will now - if the return type is
+ void - accept an RPC reply on the form
+ {ok,[simple_xml()]}, and in this event return only the
+ atom ok.</p>

+ OTP-11971 erroneously changed the handling of relative
+ paths for incl_dirs specified in the cover spec file.
+ This is now corrected so these are expected to be
+ relative to the directory where the cover spec file
+ itself is stored</p>

+ Some test cases have been updated to use ct:sleep/1
+ instead of timer:sleep/1. The reason being that the sleep
+ times need to be scaled to compensate for slow execution
+ (e.g. when cover is running).</p>

+ Common Test now exports a function,
+ ct:get_event_mgr_ref/0, that returns the name of the
+ Common Test event manager. This makes it possible to plug
+ in event handlers to the event manager while tests are
+ running (using the gen_event API).</p>

+ <p>
+ When a test case (or configuration function) fails
+ because of an exit signal from a linked process, Common
+ Test previously passed only the reason for process
+ termination to the CT post hook functions and the event
+ handlers (in the tc_done event). This has been changed so
+ that now the tuple {'EXIT',ReasonForProcessTermination}
+ is passed instead. This makes it much easier in the CT
+ post hook functions to distinguish a failure of this sort
+ from other types of errors and from the return value of a
+ successful test case.</p>

+ <p>
+ A new feature has been introduced in ct_telnet:get_data/1
+ that makes it possible to automatically poll the telnet
+ connection in case an incomplete string (one that has not
+ yet been terminated by a newline) remains in the receive
+ buffer. The polling is controlled by two new telnet
+ config values, which are documented in the ct_telnet
+ reference manual. The polling mechanism is disabled by
+ default (making the get_data/1 function backwards
+ compatible).</p>
