Friends,

I am afraid that our testing and QA for 2.0.10.1 was, shall we say, in
adequate.

"Define ironic," as someone said in a corny action movie with my
look-alike, Nicolas Cage (for confirmation of this special relationship, visit
www.stevenfeuerstein.com and check out the Before and After photos).

We will soon publish a patch (2.0.10.2) that will fix installation errors,
a problem with displaying description strings longer than 2000 and some
minor install/deinstall issues (that do not interfere with the operations
of utPLSQL).

Unless you really need to upgrade to 2.0.10.1 to take advantage of some of
the new features (repeated at end of message so you know), I suggest you
wait till we put out 2.0.10.2.

Sorry about that!
Steven

New Features of utPLSQL version 2.0.10.1

Allow user to specify (as part of their individual configuration) that
they only want to show failed tests, and then whether all information or
just the description (request from Heinz of UBS). Supersedes the
utresult.ignore_successes and utresult.include_successes (whose settings do
not persist across sessions).

Support for testing contents of REF CURSORs (cursor variables) has been
added (provided by Venky Mangapillai) with the eq_refc_table and
eq_refc_query assertion routines.

Adds testpkg_from_table to utgen to allow generation of a test package
directly from the new ut_grid table (provided by Patrick Barel). Patrick
has also built a Windows-based front end, utGen.exe, that allows us to
populate this grid very easily. Thanks, Patrick!

Add ut_outcome_seq sequence for ut_outcome table.

Add control_info and test_info columns to ut_outcome table.

Add ability to direct output from utPLSQL's test run (the test results) to
a file instead of to the screen. This functionality was provided by Rainer
Medert. The documentation for this feature has not yet been integrated into
the documentation set. You will find the "beta" documentation in the
file_output_spec.doc in the doc directory.
