+ 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>

+ 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>

+ The status of a test case which failed with timetrap

+ by returning <c>{fail,Reason}</c> from a
+ <c>post_end_per_testcase</c> hook function. This is now

+ A new variant of the <c>newline</c> option to
+ <c>ct_telnet:cmd/3</c> and <c>ct_telnet:send/3</c> is
+ added, which allows to specify a string to append as
+ newline indicator on a command. By default, the value is
+ "\n", but in some cases it is required to be "\r\n",
+ which this option allows.</p>
+ <p>
+ A faulty regular expression given as parameter to
+ <c>ct_telnet:expect/2,3</c> would earlier crash and look
+ like an internal error in common_test. A better error
+ indication is now given, but the test case will still
+ fail.</p>

+ Since the yang RFC allows more than one top element of
+ config data in an <c>edit-config</c> element,
+ <c>ct_netconfc:edit_config/3,4,5</c> can now take a list
+ of XML elements.</p>

+ The Logger handler cth_log_redirect earlier called the
+ report callback (report_cb) before calling the logger
+ formatter. In some cases this would fail, since
+ cth_log_redirect could not handle report callbacks with
+ two arguments. This is now corrected, so only the
+ formatter will call the report callback.</p>
