FYI, there is missing removal of runtest/connectors [1], which can break some
tooling.
Kind regards,
Petr

> ================================
> brought to you by Petr Vorel
> The performance tests in net.features can be now skipped by setting
> LTP_NET_FEATURES_IGNORE_PERFORMANCE_FAILURE=1 which is useful when testing is
> executed on VMs on a overloaded host or if we are running tests with a

> KIRK (previously RUNLTP-NG)
> ===========================
> Kirk was updated to v1.2
> This version brings the following updates:
> - show both stdout and stderr when executing tests on host
> - support for external commands on different SUTs
> - warning message when SUT doesn't support parallel execution
> - more stable epoll() communication with LTX
> - minor fixes
> - updated documentation
