OTP-8343 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. - The arity calculation is updated. - 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 - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded. - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan) - Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7. - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.

+Testing and running reltool tests.
+
+Testing gui api/applications can be hard, but we can at least
+test that wxerlang behaves as we expected, i.e. that the api
+is consistent and that it don't crash.
+
+The tests are structured as they are because we want you to
+be able to run them in three different ways.
+ - direct via an erlang shell
+ - via common_test application
+ - via erlang/OTP inhouse ts tool.
+
+To run all the tests compile them and on unix
+run ./rtt to create an erlang terminal.
+
+Invoke rtt:t(). in the erlang shell to run all regression tests.
+If you want to specific tests invoke rtt:t(Module)
+or rtt:t(Module, TestCase).
+
+To run all tests including the ones that require manual intervention run.
+rtt:t(all, [{user,true}]).
+
+To see every test_case window use
+rtt:t(all, [{user,step}]).
+This requires that you manually close each window to step to the
+next test_case.
+
+If you want to run specific test_cases use:
+rtt:t({Module,TestCase}, [{user,step}]).
