The Linux Test Project test suite LTP-20030206.tgz has been released. Visit
our website (http://ltp.sourceforge.net) to download the latest version of
the testsuite that contains
950+ tests for the Linux OS. The site also contains other information such
as: test results, a Linux test tools matrix, technical papers and HowTos on
Linux testing, and a code coverage analysis tool. There is also a list of
test cases that are expected to fail, located at
(http://ltp.sourceforge.net/expected-errors.php)

The highlights of this release are:

 - New options added to 'pan'.
   - quiet mode to reduce output ( -q )
   - pretty mode to format logfile output ( -p ).
 - New options added and changes made to "runalltests.sh".
   - network tests can be run from runalltests (-N).
   - Optional cpu (-c), memory (-m), i/o (-i), and network (-n)
     load generation.
   - default result log directory is now /results.
 - New tests added that cover:
   - hyperthreading
   - stressing mmap()
   - libmm
   - commands such as: cpio, ln, and cp
 - Inclusion of all submitted and accepted patches/fixes through 02/05/03.

We encourage the community to post results, patches, or new tests on our
mailing list, and to use the CVS bug tracking facility to report problems
that you might encounter. More details available at our web-site.
