OLVER 1.3 (28 December 2007)

  1. All 7 LSB architectures (IA32, IA64, x86_64, PPC32, PPC64, s390, s390x) are supported now. It is possible now to build and run OLVER on any of these architectures.
  2. More subsystems are implemented in better testing quality: io.fstream.fstream, util.format.money, util.format.wtime.
  3. Mathematical functions testing quality is improved.
  4. OLVER is much more stable now.
  5. New coverage definitions are added.
  6. Several problems in requirements (bad names, double requirements etc.) are removed.
  7. TODO_ERR and ERROR_SHALL3/MAY3(Unknown_Bool3) do not get to a trace during tests execution now.
  8. Usuability of OLVER is improved: su/sudo commands are supported when executing commands that require root priviledges now, run prerequisites check is improved, build prerequisites check is introduced.
  9. Many known bugs in LSB and distributions are reported and described in detail with examples. References to these descriptions can be found directly in OLVER summary report.
  10. OLVER is based on the latest version of CTesk 2.4 now.
  11. It is possible to use IBM Java 5 or later now, not only Sun Java as it was in 1.2.
  12. Several cosmetic fixes in sources were performed: extra tabs were removed, unused code was dropped off, comments were added and so on.
