+ Verbosity levels for log printouts has been added. This
+ makes it possible to specify preferred verbosity for
+ different categories of log printouts, as well as general
+ printouts (such as standard IO), to allow control over
+ which strings get printed and which get ignored. New
+ versions of the Common Test logging functions, ct:log,
+ ct:pal and ct:print, have been introduced, with a new
+ Importance argument added. The Importance value is
+ compared to the verbosity level at runtime. More

+ test suites using ts:compile_testcases/0. For more

+ After a test case timeout or abortion, the

+ process. The group leader for this process should be set

+ about end_per_testcase failing or timing out were ever
+ printed in the test case log. Also, help functions such
+ as e.g. test_server:stop_node/1, attempting to
+ synchronize with the IO server, would hang. The fault has

+ A new optional feature has been introduced that enables
+ Common Test to generate priv_dir directory names that are
+ unique for each test case or config function. The name of
+ the option/flag is 'create_priv_dir' and it can be set to
+ value 'auto_per_run' (which is the default, existing,
+ behaviour), or 'auto_per_tc' or 'manual_per_tc'. If
+ 'auto_per_tc' is used, Test Server creates a dedicated
+ priv_dir automatically for each test case (which can be
+ very expensive in case of many and/or repeated cases). If
+ 'manual_per_tc' is used, the user needs to create the
+ priv_dir explicitly by calling the new function
+ ct:make_priv_dir/0.</p>

+ It is now possible to use the post_end_per_testcase CT
+ hook function to print a comment for a test case in the
+ overview log file, even if the test case gets killed by a
+ timetrap or unknown exit signal, or if the
+ end_per_testcase function times out.</p>

+ Common Test will now print error information (with a time
+ stamp) in the test case log file immediately when a test
+ case fails. This makes it easier to see when, in time,
+ the fault actually occured, and aid the job of locating
+ relevant trace and debug printouts in the log.</p>

+ By specifying a user defined function ({M,F,A} or fun) as

+ file. Any printouts made by the pre- or
+ post_init_per_suite and pre- or post_end_per_suite hook
+ functions are saved in the log files for these functions.</p>
