MP-Test 8.0

What's New in MP-Test 8.0

Released May 10, 2024

Below is a summary of the changes since version 7.1 of MP-Test. See the
CHANGES.md file for all the gory details.

New Features:

• New function t_str_match() to test that a string/char array matches an
  expected value. Includes the option to apply a set of regular expression
  or simple string replacements before comparing.
• New function t_file_match() to test that the contents of two text files
  match, with the option to delete one if they do match. Includes
  the option to apply a set of string or regular expresssion replacements
  before comparing.

New Documentation:

• New Sphinx-based User's Manual and Reference documentation.

Other Change:

• Allow logical type (i.e. true and false) as second input to
  have_feature(), as well as numeric type (1 and 0), to facilitate
  using (logical) output of prior call as toggle input.

MP-Test 7.1

What's New in MP-Test 7.1

Released Oct 8, 2020

Below is a summary of the changes since version 7.0 of MP-Test. See the
CHANGES.md file for all the gory details.

New Features:

• New function have_feature() to detect availability and version
  information for optional functionality. This is a modular, extensible
  replacement for have_fcn(), from MATPOWER and MP-Opt-Model.
  The detection of a feature named <tag> is implemented by the
  function have_feature_<tag>(). Includes feature detection functions
  for 'matlab' and 'octave'.

Other Changes:

• Expanded documentation in README.md.
• Improve handling of complex quantities in t_is(). Now displays
  differences in imaginary parts as well when there is a mismatch.
  Previously, it would show only the real parts which could be identical.
• Add mptestver() defining explicit version number.
• Switch from Travis-CI to GitHub workflows for continuous integration
  testing.

MP-Test 7.0

What's New in MP-Test 7.0

Released Jun 20, 2019

Below is a summary of the changes since version 6.0 of MP-Test. See the
CHANGES.md file for all the gory details.

New Features:

• Updates for Travis-CI integration, with option to exit Octave
  or MATLAB if any test fails.
  Thanks to Richard Lincoln for getting us started with Travis-CI.
• Modified t_is() to handle sparse matrix inputs.

Bugs Fixed:

• Fix bug in t_is() where comparing an integer value with a double
  value would pass when it should not.
• Added abs() to output of failed tests for consistency when
  comparing complex numbers (affects display only, test were correct).

Other Changes:

• Replace clock()/etime() with tic()/toc() for timing.
