ATF is a collection of libraries and utilitiesdesigned to ease unattended application testing inthe hands of developers and end users of aspecific piece of software. Tests can currently bewritten in C/C++ or POSIX shell and, contrary toother testing frameworks, ATF tests are installedinto the system alongside any other applicationfiles. This allows the end user to easily verifythat the software behaves correctly on her system.Furthermore, the results of the test suites can becollected into nicely-formatted reports tosimplify their visualization and analysis.

Changes:
The atf-check tool has been added, which executes a given command and checks its exit code and output against pre-specified values. This is mostly used internally by the shell interface. A new set of macros, ATF_REQUIRE_*, has been added to the C interface to signal fatal errors, while the old ones (ATF_CHECK_*) now only signal non-fatal errors. There are several other internal changes to make test case timeout control more robust, and multiple optimizations all around the code (especially in the shell code).
