+ After a test case timeout or abortion, the
+ end_per_testcase function executes on a new dedicated
+ process. The group leader for this process should be set
+ to the IO server for the test case, which was not done
+ properly. The result of this error was that no warnings
+ 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
+ been corrected.</p>

+ A deadlock situation could occur if Common Test is
+ forwarding error_handler printouts to Test Server at the

+ Test Server and Common Test would add new error handlers
+ with each test run and fail to remove previously added
+ ones. In the case of Test Server, this would only happen
+ if SASL was not running on the test node. This has been
+ fixed.</p>

+ If a test case process was terminated due to an exit

+ report the correct name of the suite and case to the
+ framework. This has been corrected.</p>

+ <p>
+ 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>

+ A column for test case group name has been added to the
+ suite overview HTML log file.</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>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-9855 Aux Id: seq11979 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <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>

+ Test Server has been modified to check the SASL
+ errlog_type parameter when receiving an error logger
+ event, so that it doesn't print reports of type that the
+ user has disabled.</p>

+ By specifying a user defined function ({M,F,A} or fun) as
+ timetrap value, either by means of an info function or by
+ calling ct:timetrap/1, it is now possible to set a
+ timetrap that will be triggered when the user function
+ returns.</p>

+ If the optional configuration functions init_per_suite/1
+ and end_per_suite/1 are not implemented in the test
+ suite, local Common Test versions of these functions are
+ called instead, and will be displayed in the overview log
+ 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>
