Release Notes

These release notes are a comprehensive list of changes from 2.5.1 to 2.5.2.

Assertion library

• BUG: Fixed another regression in Assert.Equal with collections of dictionaries (i.e., List<Dictionary<TKey,TValue>>). xunit/xunit#2755

Runner utility

• This release removes the following types from xunit.runner.utility:
  • VisualStudioSourceInformationProvider
  • DiaNavigationData
  • DiaSession
  • DiaSessionWrapper
  • DiaSessionWrapperHelper
  These types existed solely to support the xunit.runner.visualstudio runner, as they provide access to source information from within Visual Studio. The code has been moved there.
• Related to the item above, XunitFrontController will no longer attempt to create and provide an instance of VisualStudioSourceInformationProvider to the Xunit1 or Xunit2 classes, in the event that the developer did not pass a source information provider during creation. Instead, it will always now pass a NullSourceInformationProvider instead.
