ANN: ScalaCheck 1.6

[Rickard Nilsson]

Hi,

I'm proud to announce the release of ScalaCheck 1.6!

RELEASE NOTES

ScalaCheck 1.6

ScalaCheck is a powerful tool for automatic unit testing of Scala and Java
programs. It features automatic test case generation and simplification of
failing test cases. ScalaCheck started out as a Scala port of the Haskell
library QuickCheck, and has since evolved and been extended with features
not
found in Haskell QuickCheck.

The main features of ScalaCheck is:

* Specifications are written directly in Scala, using combinators
from the ScalaCheck library.

* Properties are tested automatically, with test data generated by
ScalaCheck. Data generation can be precisely controlled, and generation
of custom data types is simple to define.

* Failing test cases are simplified automatically, which makes
pin-pointing
error causes easier.

* Support for stateful testing of command sequences, and simplification
of
failing command sequences.

Release 1.6 of ScalaCheck presents several minor changes and fixes that
have
been developed during the ten months that have past since the last release.
Focus has been on making it even easier to define properties in a precise
manner. You can as always get more information on the changes in the latest
ScalaCheck release at
http://code.google.com/p/scalacheck/wiki/ChangeHistory .
The User Guide has also been updated with relevant changes and additions.

Quoting Jorge Ortiz <jorge...@gmail.com>:

> What version of Scala is this compiled against?

It is compiled against Scala 2.7.6, and seems to be working fine with
Scala 2.7.5 too. Since I'm using SBT now, I should be able to push
jars for all of the 2.7.x versions to the Maven repository, but I
haven't investigated that SBT feature yet.

I will switch over the ScalaCheck trunk to Scala 2.8 soon now, and
publish snapshot builds to the scala-tools snapshot repository.

Regards,
Rickard Nilsson
