Release Notes

New in Release v41 (April 11, 2005), thanks to Chris Hanson

Make sure Foundation is loaded before SenTestingKit.
Added autorelease pool to detect over-releases faster.
Added license to all source files.

New in Release v40 (April 1, 2005)

A new assertion macro has been added and an old one updated. The new one is STAssertEqualsWithAccuracy(). The old marco STAssertEquals() has been updated to handle pointers, unions and structs in addition to scalars. These macros now give better error reporting in case of failure. Also the macro STAssertEqualsWithAccuracy() allows the use of an accuracy amount in case of floats and doubles where the values may not be exact.

The following modifications have been contributed by Andrew Pontious.

Documentation - Tutorials
- Fully updated OCUnitWWDC2002.rtfd to describe Xcode techniques, the environment without SenFoundation.framework, and the new Xcode-ported project, TestExtras.
Examples
- Removed old .pbproj files.
- Removed dependency on SenFoundation framework.
Extras - Packaging - HomePackage
- Modified installOCUnit to also install TestExtras, now that it's been fully ported to Xcode.
