Release Notes

These release notes are a list of changes from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1.

We have added support for writing unit tests as default interface methods (introduced in C# 8). Any test class which implements an interface with default interface methods, those test methods will be discovered as part of the test class. xunit/xunit#1945
BUG: We fixed a problem when running v3 test assemblies with unlimited parallel threads specified. xunit/visualstudio.xunit#432

BUG: Fixed an issue where Assert.Equivalent was throwing while trying to compare properties with getters that return ByRefLike types. These properties are now skipped during comparison. xunit/xunit#3088

We have added ConfigReader_Json.LoadFromJson which allows the developer to pass the JSON as a string. This differs from Load which reads the JSON from a file on the filesystem. xunit/xunit#3117
BUG: We fixed an issue where ANSI color codes reported into test output were causing issues with reports. The most common way you might encounter this is using [assembly: CaptureConsole] while writing ANSI color codes to the standard output. xunit/xunit#3091

BUG: We fixed an issue with the xunit3-extension new project template. The sample code would not compile as-is.

When viewing our NuGet packages on NuGet.org, they previously just showed the standard project README. Now they will also display the package name and description, which often contains valuable information for the developer (like which target frameworks are supported). xunit/xunit#3115
BUG: We have fixed an issue that was causing the NuGet packages to report that the binaries weren’t deterministic. xunit/xunit#3108
