+ If a busy test case generated lots of error messages,
+ cth_log_redirect:post_end_per_testcase would crash with a
+ timeout while waiting for the error logger to finish
+ handling all error reports. The default timer was 5
+ seconds. This has now been extended to 5 minutes.</p>

+ <p>
+ <list> <item> ct_snmp will now use the value of the
+ 'agent_vsns' config variable when setting the 'variables'
+ parameter to snmp application agent configuration.
+ Earlier this had to be done separately - i.e. the
+ supported versions had to be specified twice. </item>
+ <item> Snmp application failed to write notify.conf since
+ ct_snmp gave the notify type as a string instead of an
+ atom. This has been corrected. </item> </list></p>

+ <c>register_agents/2</c> and <c>register_usm_users/2</c>,
+ and the corresponding <c>unregister_*/1</c> functions
+ were not executable. These are corrected/rewritten.
+ </item> <item> Function <c>update_usm_users/2</c> is
+ removed, and an unregister function is added instead.
+ Update can now be done with unregister_usm_users and then
+ register_usm_users. </item> <item> Functions
+ <c>unregister_*/2</c> are added, so specific
+ users/agents/usm users can be unregistered. </item>
+ <item> Function <c>unload_mibs/1</c> is added for
+ completeness. </item> <item> Overriding configuration
+ files did not work, since the files were written in
+ priv_dir instead of in the configuration dir
+ (priv_dir/conf). This has been corrected. </item> <item>
+ Arguments to <c>register_usm_users/2</c> were faulty
+ documented. This has been corrected. </item> </list></p>

+ The following corrections/changes are done in the
+ cth_surefire hook:</p>
+ <p>
+ <list> <item> Earlier there would always be a
+ 'properties' element under the 'testsuites' element. This
+ would exist even if there were no 'property' element
+ inside it. This has been changed so if there are no
+ 'property' elements to display, then there will not be a
+ 'properties' element either. </item> <item> The XML file
+ will now (unless other is specified) be stored in the top
+ log directory. Earlier, the default directory would be
+ the current working directory for the erlang node, which
+ would mostly, but not always, be the top log directory.
+ </item> <item> The 'hostname' attribute in the
+ 'testsuite' element would earlier never have the correct
+ value. This has been corrected. </item> <item> The
+ 'errors' attribute in the 'testsuite' element would
+ earlier display the number of failed testcases. This has
+ been changed and will now always have the value 0, while
+ the 'failures' attribute will show the number of failed
+ testcases. </item> <item> A new attribute 'skipped' is
+ added to the 'testsuite' element. This will display the
+ number of skipped testcases. These would earlier be
+ included in the number of failed test cases. </item>
+ <item> The total number of tests displayed by the 'tests'
+ attribute in the 'testsuite' element would earlier
+ include init/end_per_suite and init/end_per_group. This
+ is no longer the case. The 'tests' attribute will now
+ only count "real" test cases. </item> <item> Earlier,
+ auto skipped test cases would have no value in the 'log'
+ attribute. This is now corrected. </item> <item> A new
+ attributes 'log' is added to the 'testsuite' element.
+ </item> <item> A new option named 'url_base' is added for
+ this hook. If this option is used, a new attribute named
+ 'url' will be added to the 'testcase' and 'testsuite'
+ elements. </item> </list></p>

+ ct_netconfc:close_session sometimes returned

+ A new test case group search functionality has been
+ implemented that makes Common Test search automatically
+ through the group definitions tree (the return value of
+ groups/0) and create tests for all paths of nested groups
+ that match the specification. It also allows for
+ specifying unique paths to sub groups in order to avoid
+ execution of unwanted tests. This new feature can be used
+ whenever starting a test run by means of the ct_run
+ program, the ct:run_test/1 API function, or a Test
+ Specification. Details can be found in the Test Case
+ Group Execution section in the Running Tests chapter.</p>
