Announce: Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) 2.1.0 released

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hello,

About LDTP:

Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test
automation framework (using GNOME / Python) and cutting-edge tools that can
be used to test Linux Desktop and improve it. It uses the Accessibility
libraries to poke through the application's user interface. We strive to
help in building a quality desktop.

Changes in this release:

Added documentation files from LDTPv1 and updated accordingly
Search object name as unicode character and mutliline
Print Unicode exception, instead of string. Printing string fails, if
non-ascii strings are in exception string

Performance improvement:

When looking for object inside a window without any delay, utilize all the
CPU, just delay the lookup every 2 seconds
Don't force remap on gechild, getobjectlist, getobjectproperty, unless the
window object is changed, as this utilizes more CPU

New API:

getmax - Get max value of spin button
getmin - Get min value of spin button
startlog - Start logging to file
stoplog - Stop logging to file
startprocessmonitor - Start monitoring the given process
stopprocessmonitor - Stop monitoring the given process
getcpustat - Get the current CPU statistics of the given process
getmemorystat - Get the current memory statistics of the given process
registerkbevent - Register keyboard event
deregisterkbevent - De-Register keyboard event
getobjectnameatcoords - Get window / object name in LDTP format based on the
current mouse co-ordinates

Bugs fixed:
619575: Raise a more descriptive error when a child is not found
620343: setcellvalue is not implemented in LDTP2
624690: LDTP2.0.6 cannot type comma ', ' use function 'enterstring'
624678: Cannot identifiy some dialogs of OpenOffice3.2
635047: 'comboselect' doesn't work when specify component name listed in
'getobjectlist'
638229 - onwindowcreate fails with CannotSendRequest with python2.7
638226 - Missing import socket in ldtp/__init__.py
