[Robert Collins <robertc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The below is the announcement I put on Launchpad.

With this release I'm going to upload testrepository to Debian - it is
now genuinely useful and not a 'clever toy'. I'm now hooked. First one
free and all that.

Another couple of releases and I'll be announcing to testing-in-python I
think. It might be time to ask for early adopter/experimentation too. As
testrepository only needs subunit output, it should be easy for most
anyone likely to be reading this message to give it a spin: I know that
it can run against zope.testrunner (with the Launchpad subunit support
patch), Trial (with the subunit reporter which is in trunk, and perhaps
in a release now?), and of course bzr and other 'extended-but-vanilla'
test suites, using 'python -m subunit.run'.

=========================

I'm very happy to released testrepository 0.0.3. This adds the 'testr
run' workflow, which permits a tight loop around test failures, with
testr tracking the failures, while still allowing you to run only some
tests - and can by default run only the failing tests.

See the documentation for details, but as a teaser:
# I break a test
$ testr run test_selftest
running: ./bzr selftest --subunit test_selftest| testr load
