ANN: Ahven 2.3

ANN: Ahven 2.3

[Tero Koskinen]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce Ahven 2.3.

Starting from this release, the exception backtraces are now
stored to the test results and printed out along with the results.
In addition, the documentation received some improvements,
and the output of multiline messages from TAP_Runner has been fixed.

You can get the source code from SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ahven/files/

2013-01-24 Ahven 2.3
====================

Changes
-------
    * Various procedure descriptions in the API documentation
      were improved.
    * Character limit of long messages in test results have been
      increased to 1024. On some compilers this means that
      memory usage is over 1 kilobytes per test result.
    * New constant: Ahven.Max_Long_String_Len
    * Exception backtraces are now stored to test results
      when test fails or has an error.

Bugs fixed
----------
    * TAP runner did not output multiline (long) messages correctly.
      This is now fixed.

Internal
--------
    * New package: Ahven.Long_AStrings
    * Some coding style fixes.

Known issues
------------
    * On Fedora 17/18 you need to first install libgnat-static package:

      sudo yum install libgnat-static

      Otherwise GNAT will die with internal error when building Ahven.


About Ahven:

Ahven is a simple unit test library (or a framework) for
Ada programming language. It is loosely modelled after JUnit
and some ideas are taken from AUnit.

Ahven is free software distributed under permissive ISC license
and should work with any Ada 95, 2005, or 2012 compiler.

As a new thing, Jovana Milutinovich has kindly translated
Ahven's homepage to Serbo-Croatian language. The translation
is available at http://science.webhostinggeeks.com/ahven-biblioteka

Yours,

Here are some examples how the exception backtraces are printed
with various compilers. I have used out-of-the-box default compiler
settings with every compiler and it might be possible to make
the backtraces more or less informative depending on the used
compiler options.

My code for printing the backtraces is equal for every compiler.

PS. Sorry for very long lines, but I think they make sense in this case.
