Release0.12

Autotest 0.12.0

Autotest 0.12.0 is a new major release of autotest! This reflects the stabilization of our development branch. The goal is to provide the latest advances on autotest while providing a stable ground for groups and organizations looking for autotest.

Test API changes worth mentioning

API wise, 0.12.0 is compatible with the previous releases 0.11.X, so tests developed for previous versions will work pretty much unmodified.

What's new

Here's a selection of what changed from 0.11.X to 0.12.0. This list does not intend to be exhaustive, just a summary of the changes.

• New tests added to the framework: 5 new test modules made into the project, namely:
• hwclock - This test checks that we can set and read the hwclock successfully
• npb - Runs the NAS Parallel Benchmarks - http://www.nas.nasa.gov/Software/NPB/
• synctest - Test interrupting sync system call
• The web interface was updated to use Django 1.0.4 and gwt 1.7
• Current tests and profilers (we had an upstream sync tests and profilers wise)
