Hi All,

Announcing the start of the formal review period for the new Boost.Test
Library by Gennadiy Rozental, which builds on work by Beman Dawes and
Ullrich Koethe. The review will go from today, December 1, through
December 13. The code and documentation for the library is available here
in the yahoogroups boost Files:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/unit%20test%20framework/btl_submission1.zip

The New Boost Test Library provides a matched set of components for
writing test programs, organizing tests in to simple test cases, test
suites, and controlling their runtime execution. Changes from the current
Test Library include introduction of unit test framework, enriched toolbox
of test tools, and modification of components to control program
execution. The unit test framework allows writing test cases as a simple
free function or a class method and organizing them into the test suites
tree. Also it provides a facility to manage a log report level and a
result report level. Test toolbox includes tools for checking values and
collections equality, a floating-point values closeness and a lot more.

Best Regards,
Jeremy Siek (the review manager)
