Announcing TestNG 5.13.1

[Cédric Beust ♔]

I was just reminded that I had posted the announcement for the latest release on my blog but I forgot to do it here...  Sorry about that.

I also decided to create a mailing-list called "testng-announcements" (http://groups.google.com/group/testng-announcements) that will be used only for new TestNG release announcements. If you find the testng-users list too noisy but you'd like to know when a new release is available, you might want to subscribe to testng-announcements.

Announcing TestNG 5.13.1

TestNG 5.13.1 is now available. The previous release was just three months ago, but as you can see below, a lot of fixes went into this new version. A big thanks to everyone who helped (hopefully credited below), and especially to Nalin Makar, who made some major contributions to TestNG these past months.

You can either download TestNG from the web site or from Maven:
