<h3>Self-test JUnit XML Output</h3>
<h3>New test-related make targets</h3>
<p>This release adds a new make target <tt>junitfiles</tt> which if necessary
runs the self-tests and then converts the TAP (Perl Test-Anything-Protocol)
output files (as generated by the <tt>tapfiles</tt> target) into the more
commonly-recognized JUnit XML format. The program that performs this conversion
needs the Perl module <q><tt>XML::Generator</tt></q> to have been installed.</p>
<p>This release adds several new make targets intended for use by developers
and Continuous Integration systems which simplify the task of running the
built-in self-test programs and viewing the results. Since these targets are
intended for limited use they can have requirements for the build host which
go beyond the standard minimum set needed to build and run Base.</p>
<blockquote>
<h4><tt>test-results</tt> &mdash; Summarize test results</h4>
<p>The new make target <tt>test-results</tt> will run the self-tests if
necessary to generate a TAP file for each test, then summarizes the TAP output
files in each test directory in turn, displaying the details of any failures.
This step uses the program <q>prove</q> which comes with Perl, but also needs
<q>cat</q> to be provided in the default search path so will not work on most
Windows systems.</p>
<h4><tt>junitfiles</tt> &mdash; Convert test results to JUnit XML Format</h4>
<p>The new make target <tt>junitfiles</tt> will run the self-tests if necessary
and then convert the TAP output files into the more commonly-supported JUnit
XML format. The program that performs this conversion needs the Perl module
<q><tt>XML::Generator</tt></q> to have been installed.</p>
<h4><tt>clean-tests</tt> &mdash; Delete test result files</h4>
<p>The new make target <tt>clean-tests</tt> removes any test result files from
previous test runs. It cleans both TAP and JUnit XML files.</p>
