SimpleTest 1.0.1 has been released

From the news release:

Probably the longest point release in history, but it’s here. This is the last version that supports PHP 4.

Compared to the 1.0 version, there is much better PHP 5 support (all the way up to PHP 5.3) as long as E_STRICT is not enabled. The mocks support type hinting and interface mocking, the whole system properly supports exceptions and there are many small improvements to the web browser.

Apart from some obscure differences, tests written for the 1.0 release should work fine in the 1.0.1 version.

Many thanks to all the developers, patch contributers, commenters, naggers (especially Perrick) who helped.

Happy 5th Birthday to Open Source Testing!!

It’s hard to believe it but last month Open Source Testing reached the grand old age of 5 years! Celebrations have been rather muted however, as March was completely hectic for me, and I really should have done a birthday website banner with candles and fireworks but alas, time ran out!

In March 2003 I had no idea that my humble little site would grow into the popular resource that it has become. It’s been fun and rewarding watching the site grow and seeing open source tools steadily becoming more accepted and embedded in the testing community.

I can’t help but feel that the next five years are just going to get better and better, partly fuelled by some exciting things happening here! Open Source Testing is all set to ramp up a gear over the coming months so do make sure you’re subscribed to this news feed and be first to hear of site developments!
