This note, as the subject states, indicates that Beta-2 of Nunit 2.0
is available on SourceForge, http://sourceforge.net/projects/nunit/.

Some of the highlights of the new release include the following:

- Attribute based mechanism for specifying test and test fixtures.

- New Forms Interface that displays Tests and TestSuites in an
Explorer like fashion. The interface allows you to run individual
tests and/or suites from the forms interface.

- Automatic construction of suites based on namespaces. Just provide
an assembly and the test runner constructs a suite of all
TestFixtures in the assembly.

- Minimal amount of effort to upgrade due to inclusion of a
backwards compatibility class called TestCase and the framework also
looks for methods that begin with "test" regardless of case as it
did in the past.

- XML output from the console program.

For a more detailed explanation of all changes see the ReadMe.pdf
which is available separate from the install program under Nunit
V2.0-Beta 2.  It also ships with the installation program.

I would like to thank the people that have helped throughout
the development of the new version with comments and in some cases
code. Your contributions have helped a great deal.

Ron Jeffries, Doug de la Torre, Ethan Smith, D. Gackel, Dave White,
Chet Hendrickson, Erik Meade, Kevin Lawrence and many others
and if I have forgotten to mention your name, I apologize, and
please let me know.

Lastly, the development team for Nunit 2.0 includes Alexei
Vorontsov, Michael C. Two, Philip Craig and myself.

Thanks.

Please take a look and let us know what you think.

Regards,
