Subject: [ANNOUNCE] The Linux Test Project has been Released for OCTOBER
	2007

Dear All,

The Linux Test Project test suite has been released for the month of
OCTOBER 2007. The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+
tests for the Linux OS and can be found at http://ltp.sourceforge.net/.
Latest happenings in LTP can also be found at:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/,
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php, and,
IRC: irc.freenode.org #ltp.

Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

Release Highlights:

* Integration of remap_file_pages [remap_file_page01 &
remap_file_pages02] syscall test case to LTP,
* OPEN_POSIX_TESTSUITE updation,
* Enhancing LTP Infrastructure for Better/more stress generation
options,
* Fix for executing lot of Test Cases for running on NFS,
* Changes in lots of MACROS to higher Kernel compatibilities,
* Making lcov 1.6 compatible with gcov/gcc 4.1.0

Note(s) from the Maintainer:
We had couple of discussions regarding the new formats to make the LTP
output more meaningful. Hope we can see both the XML and HTML version of
LTP output in coming months. We are also stressing on improving the LTP
infrastructure itself, to make testing more meaningful and effective. We
have started with integrating the various existing stress generation
capability to LTP runall. We can expect more such improvements in those
areas. LTP-KDUMP will also see more automation and support for community
Distros like OpenSuse and Ubuntu in future.

We would encourage the community to post results to
ltp-results@...ts.sf.net,
patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to ltp-list@...ts.sf.net,
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=103382
