Release notes from AUnit

1.7.1 - add SAMD21, SAMD51 boards to Tier 1; clean up Flash.h hacks for other boards

2023-06-15T23:46:24Z

1.7.1 (2023-06-15)
- This is a maintenance release, to update the list of supported boards,
  and update the documentation.
  - No functional change.
- Add MemoryBenchmark to collect flash and
  static memory usage.
  - For consistency with my other arduino libraries.
  - Also enables an automated script to verify that AUnit compiles under
    various microcontrollers.
- Update supported boards and tiers
  - Update Flash.h to work better with Teensyduino,
    Adafruit SAMD, and Seeeduino SAMD boards by hacking around their bugs
    and inconsistent APIs
  - Add SAMD21 and SAMD51 boards to Tier 1
    - Add 2 SAMD boards from 2 different companies, to test their
      Arduino Core software:
      - Seeeduino XIAO M0 (SAMD21 48MHz ARM Cortex-M0+)
      - Adafruit ItsyBitsy M4 (SAMD51 120MHz ARM Cortex-M4)
    - SAMD21 and SAMD51 boards are back in Tier 1, as long as they use
      the traditional Arduino API instead of the new
      ArduinoCore-API.
    - Fortunately most third party SAMD21 and SAMD51 boards continue to
      use the traditional Arduino API.
  - Move Teensy 3.2 to Tier 2 ("Should work but not tested often")
    - This board is entering end-of-life.
    - As well, the Teensyduino environment integrates with the Arduino
      IDE and CLI in a way that's different than all other third-party
      Arduino boards. Some of my automation scripts do not work with
      Teensyduino, so it becomes very time consuming to test the Teensy
      boards.
    - All Teensy boards are now in Tier 2.
  - The various tiers are documented in the
    README.md.
- Upgrade tool chain.
  - Arduino CLI from 0.19.2 to 0.33.0
  - Arduino AVR Core from 1.8.4 to 1.8.6
  - STM32duino from 2.2.0 to 2.5.0
  - ESP32 Core from 2.0.2 to 2.0.9
  - Teensyduino from 1.56 to 1.57 (unable to install 1.58)

1.7.0 - change format of assertion failure message for better compatibility with vim and other Unix tools

2022-12-08T20:08:11Z

1.7.0 (2022-12-08)
- Potentially Breaking Change format of assertion failure message from:
  - "Assertion failed: (expected=3) == (counter=4), file AUnitTest.ino,
    line 134.", to
  - "AUnitTest.ino:134: Assertion failed: (expected=3) == (counter=4)."
  - This format is compatible with various Linux/MacOS/Unix command line
    tools, in particular, the vim editor.
  - When used with EpoxyDuino, this message format allows the vim editor
    to jump directly to the file and line where the assertion failure
    occurred.

v1.6.1 - upgrade tool chain; downgrade SAMD21 support; maintenance release, no functional change

2022-02-03T03:09:37Z

1.6.1 (2022-02-02)
- Upgrade tool chain.
  - Arduino IDE from 1.8.13 to 1.8.19
  - Arduino CLI from 0.14.0 to 0.19.2
  - Arduino AVR Core from 1.8.3 to 1.8.4
  - STM32duino from 2.0.0 to 2.2.0
  - ESP8266 Core from 2.7.4 to 3.0.2
  - ESP32 Core from 1.0.6 to 2.0.2
  - Teensyduino from 1.54 to 1.56
- Downgrade SAMD21 boards into new "Tier 3: May work but unsupported"
  category.
- This is a maintenance release. No functional change.

v1.6.0 - support include and exclude lists on command line when using EpoxyDuino

2021-11-03T01:22:54Z

1.6.0 (2021-11-02)
- Add TestRunner::includesub(word) and TestRunner::excludesub(word)
  which includes or excludes tests based on the substring match on the
  word.
- Call excludeAll() if the first filtering request is an include() or
  includesub().
  - Otherwise, the first include request does not do anything.
- Add command line flags and arguments when compiled under EpoxyDuino.
  See Command Line Flags and
  Arguments in the README.md for
  full details. Fixes
  Issue#76.
  - --include pattern,...
    - Calls TestRunner::include(pattern) on each pattern in the
      comma-separated list.
  - --exclude pattern,...
    - Calls TestRunner::exclude(pattern) on each pattern in the
      comma-separated list.
  - --includesub substring,...
    - Calls TestRunner::includesub(substring) on each substring in
      the comma-separated list.
  - --excludesub substring,...
    - Calls TestRunner::excludesub(substring) on each substring in
      the comma-separated list.
  - substring ...
    - Any remaining space-separated list of words are processed
      using TestRunner::includesub(substring).

v1.5.5 - prevent accidental inclusion of HardwareSerial; blacklist all other platforms using ArduinoCoreAPI

2021-05-03T22:27:18Z

1.5.5 (2021-05-03)
- Prevent accidental inclusion of HardwareSerial class (via the Serial
  global variable). Remove reference to SERIAL_PORT_MONITOR from
  Printer::sPrinter. Move reference to SERIAL_PORT_MONITOR from
  TestRunner.cpp to TestRunner.h. Saves about 800 bytes on AVR applications
  which don't use Serial at all.
- Activate
  GitHub Discussions
  for this project.
- Blacklist all other platforms using ArduinoCore-API (e.g. RP2040) to
  generate a user-friendly error message instead of pages of obscure
  compiler errors.

v1.5.4 - implement assertNoFatalFailure(statement) macro

2021-03-02T22:25:34Z

1.5.4 (2021-03-02)
- Implement assertNoFatalFailure(statement) macro to prevent continued
  execution if statement contains assertion failures. Fixes
  Issue #11.

v1.5.3 - remove symlink to make Arduino Library Manager happy

2021-02-23T18:28:06Z

1.5.3 (2021-02-23)
- I botched the 1.5.2 release. Try again as 1.5.3.
1.5.2 (2021-02-23)
- Convert examples/AUnitPlatformIO/src/AUnitPlatformIO.ino from
  a symlink to a regular file. The Arduino Library Manager apparently does
  not allow symlinks (see
  https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Library-Manager-FAQ). So when I
  created the symlink at v1.3 on 2019-06-05, the Library Manager stopped
  updating the library for almost 2 years, until I removed the symlink at
  v1.5.2.
- No functional change in this release.

v1.5.1 - Update UnixHostDuino 0.4 to EpoxyDuino 0.5

2021-01-22T19:46:44Z

1.5.1 (2021-01-21)
- Update UnixHostDuino 0.4 to EpoxyDuino 0.5.
- No functional change in this release.

v1.5 - support STM32duino, support F() for ESP8266, blacklist megaAVR

2021-01-18T22:20:09Z

1.5 (2021-01-18)
- Add support for STM32duino.
- Blacklist megaAVR boards due to incompatibility with new Arduino API.
  See Issue #56 (#56).
- Blacklist SAMD21 boards using arduino:samd core version >= 1.8.10
  due to incompatibility with new Arduino API. See Issue #66
  (#66).
- Enable F() for ESP8266 since
  esp8266/Arduino#3369 seems to have been fixed
  some time ago.

v1.4.1 - add Table of Contents to README.md

2020-11-13T00:53:53Z

1.4.1 (2020-11-12)
- Add Table of Contents to README.md to help navigation.
- No functional change in this release.
