Runner

• The build-in runner now accepts a -seed option, which may be used to set the seed for random arguments as well as for use by TestContext.Random. By setting the seed to the value used in a prior run, the same sequence of random values will be used in the current run, provided the tests have not been changed in any way between runs.

• 1203961 Review and revise XML format for release

NUnitLite Version 0.9 - May 5, 2013

Framework

• A .NET 4.5 build is included. When using the 4.5 package, C# 5.0 async methods may be used as tests, as the target of a Throws constraint and as an ActualValueDelegate returning the value to be tested.
• Experimental builds for Silverlight 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 are included.
• TestContext.Random may be used to provide random values of various types for use in your tests.
• The experimental AsynchronousAttribute has been removed.

• The runner now supports the -test option, which allows selecting specific tests to be executed.

Attributes

• The following attributes from full NUnit are now supported by NUnitLite:
  • DataPoint
