Release Notes

These release notes are a comprehensive list of changes from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4.

Features and Fixes

• We have added a new SilentReporter, which can be selected with a RunnerSwitch value of silent via RunSettings. This reporter is designed to block all messages (other than the copyright banner/logo). This was requested for xunit.runner.visualstudio because of the habit of dotnet test to output some notices twice (once from our adapter, and once from VSTest). Note that this is not the default, so if you are among the users who are bothered by the double reporting in VSTest, this reporter is for you (and must be enabled via RunSettings). xunit/visualstudio.xunit#113

• BUG: We were ignoring stopOnFail when synchronous message reporting was requested. The most common trigger for this situation was disabling test collection parallelization while using xunit.runner.visualstudio. (This is actually a core framework bug whose fix is part of 2.6.2.) xunit/visualstudio.xunit#392
