Version 0.9.9

• Don't break if Python distros ship without profile support (Debian, Ubuntu).
• Functional.publish() would hang if it got a request_method argument other than GET or HEAD while omitting the stdin argument.
• transaction.get() would always return None. D'oh!
• installProduct() now becomes a noop if ZopeTestCase did not apply its patches.
• Made functional doctests set cookie related headers.
• Made functional doctests set the Www-Authenticate header.
• Made sure logging is configured.
• Made the transaction module support savepoint().
• Made base.TestCase a new-style class.
• Fixed functional.http() to only pass the request body (no headers) to publish_module(). Thanks to Andreas Zeidler.

Version 0.9.8

• Renamed doctest package to zopedoctest because of name-shadowing issues discovered during integration into Zope 2.8. Tests may still use from Testing.ZopeTestCase import doctest as the name is aliased there.
• Greatly improved the doctest story. ZopeTestCase now implements four test suite factories: ZopeDocTestSuite, ZopeDocFileSuite, FunctionalDocTestSuite, and FunctionalDocFileSuite.
• ZopeLite now takes care not to monkey patch an already started Zope.
• PortalTestCase.setUp() no longer calls _refreshSkinData() as CMF is smart enough now.
• Fixed PortalTestCase._refreshSkinData() helper to work with CMF >= 1.5.
• Made PortalTestCase.createMemberarea() work better with CMF >= 1.5.
• Fixed a bug where using sessions in sandboxed (functional) tests would cause connection pool depletion and subsequent hangs. Thanks to Balazs Ree.
• Encapsulated the ConnectionRegistry in its own module, connections.py. Reusing the registry from other modules becomes a lot cleaner as a result.
• Made sure to close the REQUEST so as not to leak REQUEST._held. Thanks to Sidnei da Silva.
• Modified runalltests.py so it imports modules more like test.py, i.e. without touching sys.path and without the help of imp.
• Added a Zope 2.8-style transaction module for Zope <= 2.7. Tests may now use from Testing.ZopeTestCase import transaction which is guaranteed to work across Zope versions.
• The REQUEST now contains the ACTUAL_URL variable introduced in Zope 2.7.4.

Version 0.9.6

• Dropped support for Zope 2.5 as it lacks the setSecurityManager() API.
• Moved interfaces from doc section to interfaces.py module.
• Test classes now assert their interfaces.
• Refactored security interfaces to IZopeSecurity and IPortalSecurity.
• Added a class diagram to the doc section.
• setRoles() and setPermissions() no longer insist on ListType arguments but now accept lists, tuples, and strings.
• getRoles() and getPermissions() are no longer part of the security API because of YAGNI.
• Added getHeader() and getCookie() accessors to the response wrapper used in functional tests.
• publish() now accepts an optional stdin argument, allowing to pass the input stream for POST and PUT requests.
• runalltests.py now supports a -R (recursive) command line option.

Version 0.9.4 (not released)

• Backported functional doc tests from Zope 3.
• Included a copy of doctest.py from Zope 3 (which is copied from Python2.4 CVS). It will be removed when we start requiring Python2.4.
• Added dochttp.py script from Zope 3, which is used to convert tcpwatch.py output to functional doc tests.
• Added warnhook.py from ZODB. It is used to capture the output of warnings.warn() calls.
• Added missing user_password constant.
• Many thanks to Sidnei da Silva!

Version 0.9.2

• Introduced new base.TestCase class which only contains the bare-bones framework code and serves as base class for both ZopeTestCase and PortalTestCase.
• ZopeLite now configures the logging module in Zope >= 2.7.
• Tear-down sequence is now compatible with Zope trunk.
• Added getRoles() and getPermissions() methods to security API.
• setRoles() now asserts roles argument is ListType.
• setPermissions() now asserts permissions argument is ListType.

Version 0.9.0

• No longer support Zope 2.4 as its DemoStorage is broken.
• Made PortalTestCase derive from ZopeTestCase (again).
• Made all xTestCases profiler aware by default.
• Renamed the Profiler module to profiler.py (lowercase).
• Added support for ZODB sandboxes, sandbox.py.
• Added support for functional unit testing, functional.py.
• The profiler module now provides a dump_stats() method to write profiler statistics to a file for manual inspection.
• The REQUEST now fakes a published object to make the URL1 request variable available to tests. Thanks to Alan Runyan.
• startZServer() now accepts a log argument, allowing to pass a stream which the ZServer access log (Z2.log) will be written to.
• The app argument of utility functions is now optional.
• Fixed custom_zodb.py support for Zope 2.7.
• Most mercilessly refactored ztc_common.py.
• ZopeLite now loads silently if it does not control the import process.

Version 0.8.6

• Revised and amended much of the existing documentation.
• Added an API reference (skeleton), API.stx.
• Documented what's going on when tests are run in TIMELINES.txt.
• Fixed issues with testZODBCompat.py and Zope < 2.6.
• setupZGlobals() now uses a new-style BTrees.OOBTree.
• Profiling can now be activated from the command line.

Version 0.8.4

• framework.py now flushes stdout to not mess up the output in batch mode.
• framework.py no longer adds os.pardir to the sys.path. Thanks to Yoshinori Okuji.
• Made sure user objects are not inadvertently wrapped twice by login().
• Made sure "renegade" transactions are aborted if something goes wrong during the setup phase.
• initialize_cache() is no longer called for Zope 2.7.

Version 0.8.2

• Removed leading underscores from all constant names. They proved non-private in "real life" anyway. The old names are still available for backward compatibility, but are deprecated.
• Removed NO_PRODUCT_LOAD for reasons of obscureness and YAGNI.
• Added a test for ZODB behavior in ZTC, testZODBCompat.py.

Version 0.8.0

• Added a PortalTestCase base class to aid testing of CMF-style portals.
• Added simple profiling support using the Python profile library.
• Got rid of the ill-conceived FX interface (don't even ask).
• ZopeLite now supports Zope 2.7.

Version 0.7.2 (not released)

• ZopeLite gained a do-nothing startup() method for API compliance.
• The ZopeTestCase module now has a main() method like unittest has.
• Made sure the test user's roles attribute is a list because CMF role-mapping assumes it can append to it. :-/

Version 0.7.0

• Fixed a bug that caused setRoles() to only work with the default user folder. Refactored the fixture code in the process.
• Reworked the connection registry and wrote tests for it.
• Made afterClear() largely redundant because it turned out to be just that.
• Added close() method to be able to close ZODB connections individually.
• Added ISimpleSecurity and IExtensibleSecurity interfaces.

Version 0.6.4

• installProduct() now immediately fails if a product throws an exception during installation.
• The REQUEST no longer contains the entire shell environment.
• Moved all documentation files to the doc subdirectory.
• Added IZopeTestCase and IZopeTestCaseFX interfaces.

Version 0.6.2

• The effects of setting INSTANCE_HOME have been changed to something less surprising. Please see ENVIRONMENT.txt for details.
• Now uses the environment variable ZEO_INSTANCE_HOME to enable ZEO support.

• Added hasProduct() method to allow testing for product availability.
• Added new utility method setupZGlobals().
• Added a skeleton test suite, testSkeleton.py.
• Added runalltests.py script.
• Added CHANGES, INSTALL, and VERSION documents.

Version 0.5.0

• Unit and regression testing framework for Zope. Initial release.
