Ann: NUnit 2.2.4 Production Release

Hi All,

We just released NUnit 2.2.4, the first production release of NUnit since
2.2 was released in August 2004. That means it's the release we recommend
you use now - as opposed to all the warnings we give with our development
releases.

If you haven't followed the development releases, here are a few highlights
of what's new, as compared to NUnit 2.2:

* NUnit 2.2.4 runs under .Net 2.0 and works with VS2005. If you work
exclusively with .Net 2.0, you can download a version that is actually built
with that framework version, which eliminates dealing with the config file.

* You can run tests built against older versions - 2.0 or later - of NUnit
without recompiling. As a bonus, you can run tests built against CSUnit
without recompiling.

* A number of new Asserts and Attributes have been added. It is now much
easier to create your own custom Asserts while still taking advantage of
NUnit's built-in error message formatting.

* An extensibility mechanism allows you to define your own attributes for
test fixtures and cases that behave in non-standard ways. [This feature is
Still a bit experimental, and will appear in final form in the 2.4 release.

* Documentation is substantially improved and is provided as a set of html
files. The packaged documentation includes only version-specific details,
with info that may change over time, such as contacts, kept on the web site.

You can read the full release notes at

nunit.org site has not yet been updated to reflect this release.
