Announce: Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) 2.1.0 released

Changes in this release:

Added documentation files from LDTPv1 and updated accordingly

Search object name as unicode character and mutliline

Print Unicode exception, instead of string. Printing string fails, if non-ascii strings are in exception string

Performance improvement:

When looking for object inside a window without any delay, utilize all the CPU, just delay the lookup every 2 seconds

Don't force remap on gechild, getobjectlist, getobjectproperty, unless the window object is changed, as this utilizes more CPU

New API:

getmax - Get max value of spin button

getmin - Get min value of spin button

startlog - Start logging to file

stoplog - Stop logging to file

startprocessmonitor - Start monitoring the given process

stopprocessmonitor - Stop monitoring the given process

getcpustat - Get the current CPU statistics of the given process

getmemorystat - Get the current memory statistics of the given process

registerkbevent - Register keyboard event

deregisterkbevent - De-Register keyboard event

getobjectnameatcoords - Get window / object name in LDTP format based on the current mouse co-ordinates

Bugs fixed:

619575: Raise a more descriptive error when a child is not found

620343: setcellvalue is not implemented in LDTP2

624690: LDTP2.0.6 cannot type comma ', ' use function 'enterstring'

624678: Cannot identifiy some dialogs of OpenOffice3.2

635047: 'comboselect' doesn't work when specify component name listed in 'getobjectlist'

638229 - onwindowcreate fails with CannotSendRequest with python2.7

638226 - Missing import socket in ldtp/__init__.py
