between 3.8.1 and 3.8.2</font></font></h2>
<font color="#000000">The changes between the versions are minimal and
the focus was on fixing the accumulated bug reports. The most
signifanct change is replacing the much-reviled string comparison
format with something easier to read and use.<br>
</font>
<ul>
  <li>ComparisonFailure shows context.&nbsp; <br>
  </li>
  <ul>
    <li>assertEquals("Mary had a little lamb", "Mary had the little
lamb") shows: expected:&lt;Mary had [a] little lamb&gt; but
was:&lt;Mary had [the] little lamb&gt;<br>
Longer prefixes and suffixes are truncated to a fixed size (currently
20):</li>
    <li>expected:&lt;...st of the emergency [broadcasting]
system&gt; but was:&lt;...st of the emergency [locating] system&gt;<br>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <li><font color="#000000">Running single tests.&nbsp;
junit.ui.TestRunner can be invoked with "-m</font> ClassName.testName"
to run a single test.</li>
  <li>TestSuite(Class[]).&nbsp;
There is a new TestSuite constructor that takes an array of classes as
a parameter and returns a suite of suites, each of which is constructed
from a single class.</li>

    <font color="#000000">Made the string argument TestCase constructor

</ul>
<h3>
<font color="#000000">TestRunner</font></h3>
<ul>
  <li>
    <font color="#000000">The Swing TestRunner provides an experimental
feature to browse test classes.
There is an additional browse ("...") button besides the suite combo.
It
shows a simple dialog to select a test class from a list. Different
strategies
to locate Test classes are supported and you can plug-in your own
strategy.
This allows to leverage functionality provided by an extension API of
an
integrated development environment (IDE). To define a custom test
collector
you 1) implement the <b>junit.runner.TestCollector </b>interface and
2)
add an entry to the <b>junit.properties</b> file with the key <b>TestCollectorClass</b>
and the name of your TestCollector implementation class as the key:</font></li>
  <font color="#000000"><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
TestCollectorClass=junit.swingui.LoadingClassPathTestCollector
  <br>
This class has to be installed on the class path.
  <br>
JUnit provides two different TestCollector implementations:
  </font>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <font color="#000000">simple
(junit.runner.SimpleClassPathTestCollector) - considers all classes
on the class path on the file system that contain "Test" in their name.
Classes in JARs are not considered.</font></li>
    <li>
      <font color="#000000">loading
(junit.runner.LoadingClassPathTestCollector) - loads all classes
on the class path and tests whether the class is assignable from Test
or
has a static <b>suite</b> method.</font></li>
  </ul>
  <font color="#000000">By default the simple the test collector is
used. The loading collector
is more precise but much slower than the simple one. The loading
collector
doesn't scale up when many classes are available on the class path.
  <br>
  <b><font color="#ff0000">Notice</font></b>: that both TestCollectors
assume that the class files reside are kept in the file system. This
isn't
case in VA/Java and they will not work there. A custom TestCollector is
required for VA/Java.
  <li>The Swing TestRunner now provides an additional test result view
that shows
all tests of the executed test suite as a tree. The view shows the
success
status for each test. The view is shown as an additional tab in the
TestRunner
window. In previous versions of JUnit this view was shown in a separate
window.</li>
  <li>
The failure panels in the Swing and AWT TestRunners filter the
exception
stack trace so that only non-framework stack frames are shown.</li>
  <li>
There is support to plug-in a custom failure panel that provides
additional
functionality like navigating from a failure to the source. To do so
you
implement the <b>junit.runner.FailureDetailView</b> interface and
register
the implementation class in the junit.properties file under the key <b>FailureViewClass</b>,
for example</li>
  <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
FailureViewClass=MyFailureViewClassName.
  <li>The Swing and AWT TestRunners now understand an additional
command line
argument "-noloading". When this argument is set then the standard
system
class loader is used to load classes. This is an alternative to setting
the <b>loading</b> property to false in the junit.properties file.</li>
  <li>
Swing TestRunner - the maximum test history length shown in the suite
combo
can be defined in the junit.properties file with the key <b>maxhistory</b>.</li>
  <li>
BaseTestRunner.<b>getLoader</b>() is no longer a static method and can
now be overridden in subclasses.</li>
  <li>
BaseTestRunner removed dependency on JDK 1.2.</li>
  <li>
Swing TestRunner - fixed the problem that a suite name was sometimes
duplicated
in the history combo.</li>
  <li>
Swing TestRunner - the Run button is now the default button.</li>
  <li>
Output string truncation can now be controlled by adding the <b>maxmessage</b>
key with the desired maximum length to the junit.properties file.

  <li>
    <font color="#000000">unzip the junit.zip file</font></li>
