LuaUnit v3.3 - RC1

The release of LuaUnit v3.3 brings the following improvements :

• General
  • when comparing lists with assertEquals(), failure message provides an advanced comparison of the lists
  • assertErrorMsgEquals() can check for error raised as tables
  • tests may be finished early with fail(), failIf(), success() or successIf()
  • improve printing of recursive tables
  • improvements and fixes to JUnit and TAP output
  • stricter assertTrue() and assertFalse(): they only succeed with boolean values
  • add assertEvalToTrue() and assertEvalToFalse() with previous assertTrue()/assertFalse() behavior of coercing to boolean before asserting
  • all assertion functions accept an optional extra message, to be printed along the failure
• New command-line arguments:
  • can now shuffle tests with --shuffle or -s
  • possibility to repeat tests (for example to trigger a JIT), with --repeat NUM or -r NUM
  • more flexible test selection with inclusion (--pattern / -p) or exclusion (--exclude / -x) or combination of both
• Scientific computing dedicated support (see documentation):
  • provide the machine epsilon in lu.EPS
  • new functions: assertNan(), assertInf(), assertPlusInf(), assertMinusInf(), assertPlusZero(), assertMinusZero()
  • in assertAlmostEquals( a, b, margin ), margin no longer provides a default value of 1E-11, the machine epsilon is used instead
• Platform and continuous integration support:
  • validate LuaUnit on MacOs platform (thank to Travis CI)
  • validate LuaUnit with 32 bits numbers (floats) and 64 bits numbers (double)
  • add test coverage measurements thank to coveralls.io . Status: 99.76% of the code is verified.
  • use cache for AppVeyor and Travis builds
  • support for luarocks doc command
• General doc improvements (detailed description of all output, more cross-linking between sections)
