+	    Errors in coverage data collection and analysis were

+	    The Common Test HTML overview pages have been improved.
+	    It is now possible to see if a test case has been skipped
+	    explicitly or because a configuration function has
+	    failed. Also, the history page (all_runs.html) now has
+	    scrolling text displaying the test names. The old format
+	    (showing names as a truncated string) can still be
+	    generated by means of the flag/option 'basic_html'.</p>

+	    The conf case in Test Server has been extended with
+	    properties that make it possible to execute test cases in
+	    parallel, in sequence and in shuffled order. It is now
+	    also possible to repeat test cases according to different
+	    criterias. The properties can be combined, making it
+	    possible to e.g. repeat a conf case a certain number of
+	    times and execute the test cases in different (random)
+	    order every time. The properties are specified in a list
+	    in the conf case definition: {conf, Properties, InitCase,
+	    TestCases, EndCase}. The available properties are:
+	    parallel, sequence, shuffle, repeat, repeat_until_all_ok,
+	    repeat_until_any_ok, repeat_until_any_fail,
+	    repeat_until_all_fail.</p>

+	    The Erlang mode for Emacs has been updated with new and
+	    modified skeletons for Common Test and TS. Syntax for
+	    test case groups in Common Test (and conf cases with
+	    properties in TS) has been added and a new minimal Common
+	    Test suite skeleton has been introduced.</p>

+            The step functionality in Common Test (based on
+            interaction with Debugger) was broken. This has been
+            fixed, and some new step features have also been added.
+            Please see the Common Test User's Guide for details.</p>

+	    When a testcase terminated due to a timetrap, io sent to
+	    the group leader from framework:end_tc/3 (using
+	    ct:pal/2/3 or ct:log/2/3) would cause deadlock. This has
+	    been fixed.</p>

+	    Test Server is a portable test server for automated
+	    application testing. The server can run test suites on
+	    local or remote targets and log progress and results to
+	    HTML pages. The main purpose of Test Server is to act as
+	    engine inside customized test tools. A callback interface
+	    for such framework applications is provided.</p>
