[ANNOUNCE] The Linux Test Project has been Released for SEPTEMBER 2007

[Subrata Modak <subrata@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Dear All,

The Linux Test Project test suite has been released for the month of
SEPTEMBER 2007. The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+
tests for the Linux OS and can be found at http://ltp.sourceforge.net/.
Latest happenings in LTP can also be found at:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/,
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php, and,
IRC: irc.freenode.org #ltp.

Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

Release Highlights:

* Enabling Kernel Version Comparisns for Lots of Testcase(s),
* Removal of Connectathon Testcases for want of GPLV2 license,
* Patching of NUMA Testcases for better Statistics Collection,
* Fixes for KDUMP scripts errors,
* Mandatory generation of failed testcases file,
* Fix of LTP output format as pointed out by Andrew Morton,
* Update of OPENHPI testsuite to 2.10.0,

Note(s) from the Maintainer:
LTP output will see new formats in the coming days. This will make
interpreting output more easily and conceptually. Hope that Real Time
Linux Testcases will see the light of the day by this month end.

We would encourage the community to post results to
ltp-results@lists.sf.net,
patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to ltp-list@lists.sf.net,
