[plt-scheme] SchemeUnit 3.0 PRE-RELEASE

Hi all,

A prerelease of SchemeUnit 3.0 is available at:

  http://schematics.sourceforge.net/schemeunit.plt

It is a Planet .plt.  Install it thus:

  planet -f schemeunit.plt schematics 2 0

SchemeUnit users: I would greatly appreciate feedback on
the new features, particularly the output from
test/text-ui, which has been rightly criticised in the
past.  See below for more.  Now is a great time to
contribute suggestions, or assertion libraries.

SchemeUnit hackers: this will go into CVS soon.  There are
some problems with things I don't understand (principally
macros).  See below.

Scheme 48/SISC/etc. hackers: see the code in /generic. 
This is a step towards a portable SchemeUnit.

Major New Features
------------------

test/text-ui output has been simplified.  Output can be
quiet, normal or verbose.

Names are shorter.  make-test-case is now test-case. 
make-test-suite is now test-suite

Shortcuts for common cases.  e.g.

  (test-equal? "Name" 1 1) 

is equivalent to

  (test-case
   "Name"
   (assert-equal? 1 1))

Test cases no longer have setup and teardown actions. 
Before, after, and around macros are provided instead. 
Test suites take before and after thunks using keywords.

Major Remaining Problems
------------------------

No graphical UI.

No command line tool.

Broken stuff: compilation of tests, probably
require/expose, probably alpha-renaming in DrScheme

Thanks,
Noel
