Release Notes

These release notes are a comprehensive list of changes from 2.8.0 to 2.8.1.

We have added the ability to show output from ITestOutputHelper immediately while a test is running rather than waiting for the test to complete. (Note: This can add significant noise to the output while running tests, so we recommend you only temporarily enable this when attempting to track down an issue with a misbehaving test that never finishes/takes a long time to finish.)
- We have added a showLiveOutput configuration item
- We have added a ShowLiveOutput RunSettings item
Note that dotnet test usually hides all output from xUnit.net unless you add the --logger "console;verbosity=normal" switch. To see output when running tests in Visual Studio Test Explorer, check the Output window’s “Tests” tab. Screenshots are shown in the linked issue. xunit/visualstudio.xunit#408
