+ An error in how comments are colored in the test suite
+ overview html log file has been corrected. As result, a
+ new framework callback function, format_comment/1, has
+ been introduced.</p>

+ Test Server did not release SASL TTY handlers

+ A bug has been fixed that made Test Server call the

+ If end_per_testcase caused a timetrap timeout, the actual
+ test case status was discarded and the test case logged
+ as successful (even if the case had actually failed
+ before the call to end_per_testcase). This fault has been
+ fixed.</p>

+ If a timetrap timeout occured during execution of of a
+ function in a lib module (i.e. a function called directly
+ or indirectly from a test case), the Suite argument in
+ the end_tc/3 framework callback function would not
+ correctly contain the name of the test suite, but the lib
+ module. (This would only happen if the lib module was
+ compiled with ct.hrl included). This error has been
+ solved.</p>

+ Add a proplist() type</p>

+ Recently I was adding specs to an API and found that
+ there is no canonical proplist() type defined. (Thanks to

+ If a test suite would start with a test case group
+ defined without the init_per_group/2 and end_per_group/2
+ function, init_per_suite/1 would not execute initially
+ and logging of the test run would fail. This error has
+ been fixed.</p>

+ A new option, 'logopts', has been introduced, to make it
+ possible to modify some aspects of the logging behaviour
+ in Common Test (or Test Server). For example, whenever an
+ io printout is made, test_server adds newline (\n) to the
+ end of the output string. This may not always be a
+ preferred action and can therefore be disabled by means
+ of "ct_run ... -logopts no_nl" (or ct:run_test([...,
+ {logopts,[no_nl]}])). A new framework callback function,
+ get_logopts/0, has been introduced (see the ct_framework
+ module for details).</p>

+ A new option, 'logopts', has been introduced, to make it
+ possible to modify some aspects of the logging behaviour
+ in Common Test (or Test Server). For example, if the html
+ version of the test suite source code should not be
+ generated during the test run (and consequently be
+ unavailable in the log file system), the feature may be
+ disabled by means of "ct_run ... -logopts no_src" (or
+ ct:run_test([..., {logopts,[no_src]}])). A new framework
+ callback function, get_logopts/0, has been introduced

+ It is now possible to use a tuple {M,F,A}, or a fun, as
+ timetrap specification in the suite info function or test
+ case info functions. The function must return a valid
+ timeout value, as documented in the common_test man page
+ and in the User's Guide.</p>
