announce: Google Mock 1.7.0

[Zhanyong Wan (λx.x x)]

Hi Google Mock users,

I'm glad to announce that we just released Google Mock version 1.7.0.  Please go to https://code.google.com/p/googlemock/downloads/list to download and try it.  Please report issues you see to this mailing list (especially issues that v 1.6.0 doesn't have).  Patches are even more welcome!

If you are curious, the changes in this version include: 

* New feature: matchers DoubleNear(), FloatNear(),

  NanSensitiveDoubleNear(), NanSensitiveFloatNear(),

  UnorderedElementsAre(), UnorderedElementsAreArray(), WhenSorted(),

  WhenSortedBy(), IsEmpty(), and SizeIs().

* Improvement: Google Mock can now be built as a DLL.

* Improvement: when compiled by a C++11 compiler, matchers AllOf()

  and AnyOf() can accept an arbitrary number of matchers.

* Improvement: when compiled by a C++11 compiler, matchers

  ElementsAreArray() can accept an initializer list.

* Improvement: when exceptions are enabled, a mock method with no

  default action now throws instead crashing the test.

* Improvement: added class testing::StringMatchResultListener to aid

  definition of composite matchers.

* Improvement: function return types used in MOCK_METHOD*() macros can

  now contain unprotected commas.

* Improvement (potentially breaking): EXPECT_THAT() and ASSERT_THAT()

  are now more strict in ensuring that the value type and the matcher

  type are compatible, catching potential bugs in tests.

* Improvement: Pointee() now works on an optional<T>.

* Improvement: the ElementsAreArray() matcher can now take a vector or

  iterator range as input, and makes a copy of its input elements

  before the conversion to a Matcher.

* Bug fix: mock object destruction triggered by another mock object's

  destruction no longer hangs.

* Improvement: Google Mock Doctor works better with newer Clang and

  GCC now.

* Compatibility fixes.

* Bug/warning fixes.

Google Mock 1.7.0 comes with Google Test 1.7.0, which contains these changes since version 1.6.0:

* New feature: death tests are supported on OpenBSD and in iOS

  simulator now.

* New feature: Test::RecordProperty() can now be used outside of the

  lifespan of a test method, in which case it will be attributed to

  the current test case or the test program in the XML report.

* New feature (potentially breaking): --gtest_list_tests now prints

  the type parameters and value parameters for each test.

* Improvement: char pointers and char arrays are now escaped properly

  in failure messages.

* Improvement: failure summary in XML reports now includes file and

  line information.

* Improvement: the <testsuites> XML element now has a timestamp attribute.

* Improvement: When --gtest_filter is specified, XML report now doesn't

  contain information about tests that are filtered out.

* Fixed the bug where long --gtest_filter flag values are truncated in

  death tests.

* Potentially breaking change: RUN_ALL_TESTS() is now implemented as a

  function instead of a macro in order to work better with Clang.

* Compatibility fixes with C++ 11 and various platforms.

* Bug/warning fixes.

Thanks for your support!  Cheers,
