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

Dear All,

Happy New Year 2008. The Linux Test Project test suite has been released
for the month of DECEMBER 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:

* Real Time Linux Test Cases added,
* PIDNAMESPACE Test Cases added,
* New NUMA Testcases added,
* sendfile05, sendfile06 and sendfile07 for sendfile and sendfile64
syscall new test cases added,
* Se-linux Reference Policy Test Cases Updates, and other fixes.


Note(s) from the Maintainer:
Last month saw huge set of new test cases being added to LTP. Thanks
everybody for your contributions. The trend will continue to be the same
in Jan 2008 with fallocate, CPU controller and probably dlopen() test
cases pouring in. We are also trying to close down the observable Broken
test cases behavior in some test cases by Jan 2008 end, and, some
infrastructural improvements also. LTP will also see getting more
generalized/effective for s390x architecture. Discussion is on with
Rusty Russel for increasing LTP code coverage apart from adding new test
cases.
>>From this release onwards we will provide a complete patch which can be
applied to the earlier release to arrive at the latest release. Eg: You
can apply ltp-full-20071231.patch on ltp-full-20071130 to create
ltp-full-20071231.
As we move into a new year, we promise to make LTP more effective for
testing our dear Linux.

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

Happy testing,
