This document describes the changes made to the EUnit application.

Eunit 2.1.7
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

Increase depth of error messages in Eunit Surefire reports

Currently, error messages in Eunit Surefire reports are shortened just like when written to a terminal. However, the space limitations that constrain terminal output do not apply here, so it's more useful to include more of the error message. The new depth of 100 should be enough for most cases, while protecting against runaway errors. (Thanks to Magnus Henoch)

Don't let eunit_surefire report back to eunit when stopping

When eunit is terminating, a stop message is sent to all listeners and eunit then waits for *one* result message but previously both eunit_tty and eunit_surefire sent a response on error. Don't send a result message from eunit_surefire; let eunit_tty take care of all result reporting, both positive and negative to avoid race conditions and inconsistencies. (Thanks to Klas Johansson)

Eunit 2.1.5
Improvements and New Features

The documentation is now possible to build in an open source environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process.

- The arity calculation is updated.

- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2" instead of "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".

- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded.

- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)

- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.

Eunit 2.1
Improvements and New Features

Mostly internal changes, in particular to the event protocol; fixes problems with timeouts that could cause eunit to hang, and makes it much easier to write new reporting back-ends.

New "surefire" report backend for Maven and Bamboo.

The test representation is no longer traversed twice (the first pass was for enumeration only). This eliminates some strange restrictions on how generators can be written, but it also means that reports cannot be quite as complete as before in the event of skipped tests.
