JUnit 4.12-beta-2 is released

We are happy to announce the release of JUnit 4.12-beta-2.
 

 There have been a number of fixes since the first beta. The most important changes have been made to ensure backward compatibility: We have re-added deprecated classes as pointed out by some of you with the previous beta. In addition, an serialization compatibility issue has been fixed that caused Gradle to report wrong failure messages.
 

 Please give it a try! If you find anything we should consider, please let us know, either via this mailing list or directly on GitHub: https://github.com/junit-team/junit/issues https://github.com/junit-team/junit/issues
 

 As usual, you can download the JARs directly from https://github.com/junit-team/junit/releases/tag/r4.12-beta-2 https://github.com/junit-team/junit/releases/tag/r4.12-beta-2. In addition, the artifacts have been submitted to Maven Central.
 

 You can find the preliminary release notes on GitHub:
