announce: Google Test 1.7.0 release candidate

[Zhanyong Wan (λx.x x)]

Hi Google Test users,

It has been a while since our last release of Google Test.  I'm glad to announce that we just made the release candidate of version 1.7.0 available.  Please go to https://code.google.com/p/googletest/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!  Once this is stabilized, it will be promoted to version 1.7.0 officially.

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

* 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,
