BOOST_TEST_CONTEXT
.
BOOST_TEST_INFO_SCOPE
let define
a context for the current scope in a sticky way.
It is now possible to use floating point comparison without being required to cast both operands to floating point types. Now Boost.Test uses floating point comparisons for expressions such as
BOOST_TEST(3.0001 == 3);
See this section for more information.
Boost.Test minimal.hpp
is now showing a deprecation warning.
minimal.hpp
has been deprecated for a long time
already, and will be removed in the near future. Please switch to eg. the
header only variable of Boost.Test. Tests using minimal.hpp
can readily be converted to the header variant. For instance, the following
code:
#include <boost/test/minimal.hpp> int test_main( int, char *[] ) { ... }
may be rewritten as:
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test_main) { ... }
boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_formatter::log_build_info
has slightly changed to accept an additional boolean argument. If you have
a custom logger, you will need to update its signature.

manner, a new data::make_delayed
helper has been introduced.

should be castable to the first element type.

This helps separating the logic of the fixtures associated to the master
test suite, from the one used for setting up the logging and reporting
facility, and results in a general cleaner design.
