# 1 EUnit Release Notes

This document describes the changes made to the EUnit application.

### 1.1 Eunit 2.1.5

#### Improvements and New Features

- The documentation is now possible to build in an open source environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process.

  - The arity calculation is updated.

  - The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2" instead of "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".

  - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded.

  - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)

  - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.

### 1.2 Eunit 2.1.4

#### Improvements and New Features

- The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

  Own Id: OTP-8018

### 1.6 Eunit 2.1

#### Improvements and New Features

- Mostly internal changes, in particular to the event protocol; fixes problems with timeouts that could cause eunit to hang, and makes it much easier to write new reporting back-ends.

  New "surefire" report backend for Maven and Bamboo.

  The test representation is no longer traversed twice (the first pass was for enumeration only). This eliminates some strange restrictions on how generators can be written, but it also means that reports cannot be quite as complete as before in the event of skipped tests.

#### Improvements and New Features

- Corrected the documentation build.

### 1.8 EUnit 2.0
