"Test everything that could possibly break"

## Introduction

The Boost Test Library provides a matched set of components for writing test programs, organizing tests in to simple test cases and test suites, and controlling their runtime execution. The Program Execution Monitor is also useful in some production (non-test) environments.

## Release notes

In this release most of Boost.Test components undergo a major or significant change in both design and implementation. I've strived to keep an interface unchanged as much as possible. The primary goals for this update were:

- Make a Unit Test Framework better suited for different 'runners'
- Make Unit Test Framework simpler internally by eliminating test cases hierarchy
- Make test tools more uniform
- Make auto Unit Test Framework as usable as possible

For more details see complete release notes. I may not be able to make all necessary changes in documentation within bounds of this release. In case of any discrepancies either consult library code or ask for support in users list.
