Major changes between releases Automated Testing Framework
===========================================================================
+Changes in version 0.21
+***********************
+
+Released on October 23rd, 2014.
+
+* Restored the atf(7) manual page to serve as a reference to all the other
+ manual pages shipped by ATF.
+
+* Added the -s flag to atf-sh to support specifying the shell interpreter
+ to be used.
+
+* Removed ATF_WORKDIR. The only remaining consumers have been converted to
+ use the standard TMPDIR environment variable. As a benefit, and because
+ Kyua forces the TMPDIR to live within the test case's work directory,
+ any stale files left behind by ATF will be automatically cleaned up.
+
+* Documented the environment variables recognized by each component in the
+ relevant manual pages. This information was lost with the atf-config(1)
+ removal.
+
+* Added a new "require.diskspace" metadata property to test cases so that
+ they can specify the minimum amount of disk space required for the test
+ to run.
+
+* Renamed the atf-{c,c++,sh}-api(3) manual pages to atf-{c,c++,sh}(3) for
+ discoverability purposes. Symbolic links are provided for the time
+ being to still make the old names visible.
+
+* Issue #5: Recommend the (expected, actual) idiom for calls to the test
+ macros in the manual pages.
+
+* Issue #7: Stopped catching unhandled exceptions in atf-c++ tests. This
+ propagates the crash to the caller, which in turn allows it to obtain
+ proper debugging information. In particular, Kyua should now be able to
+ extract a stacktrace pinpointing the problem.
+
+* Issue #8: Fixed atf-c/macros_test:use test failures spotted by the clang
+ that ships with FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT.
+
+* Issue #12: Improved documentation of atf-sh(3) and atf-check(1) by better
+ explaining how they relate to each other.
+
+* Issue #14: Stopped setting 'set -e' in atf-sh. This setting was
+ initially added as a way to enable a "strict" mode in the library and to
+ make test cases fail fast when they run unprotected commands. However,
+ doing so in the library is surprising as the responsibility of enabling
+ 'set -e' should be on the user's code. Also, 'set -e' introduces
+ inconsistent behavior on subshells and users do not expect that.
+
+* Issue #15: Fixed atf_utils_{fork,wait} to support nested calls.
+
+* Issue #16: Fixed test failures (by removing a long-standing hack) on
+ systems that lack \e support in printf(1).
+
+* Issue #19: Removed stale references to atf-config and atf-run.
