NUnit V2 2.6.0b4

General

  * NUnit no longer stores settings in the test configuration file, as it did in earlier versions. Specifically, we no longer recognize or support OldStyleTestCases, ApartmentState, ThreadPriority or DefaultLogThreshold in the configuration file. Further details on each of these features are included in the appropriate sections below.
  * The TestRunner interface has been modified. Applications using this interface will need to be modified but general users are not effected.

Framework

  * User-defined equality comparers specified with the Using syntax element may now be used with arrays and dictionaries. Essentially, this means that there are no longer any restrictions on the Types for which a user-defined equality comparer may be specified.
  * So-called "old-style" tests, identified by having a name beginning with "Test" are no longer supported in NUnit 2.6.
  * Setting a ThreadPriority for the test runner thread is no longer supported under NUnit 2.6.

Console

  * The following new command-line options are provided:
        -stoponerror causes execution of the test run to terminate immediately on the first test failure or error.
        -apartment is used to specify the ApartmentState (STA or MTA) of the test runner thread. Since the default is MTA, the option is only needed to force execution in the Single Threaded Apartment.

Gui

  * A number of new settings are available using the Settings Dialog:
        The Tree Display page allows the user to select alternate image sets for use in the test tree. Additional user-provided image sets may be added if desired.
        The Text Output page allows setting the threshold for capture and display of log4net output (previously controlled by the test config file).
  * By default, test Cases under a Theory that fail an assumption are no longer shown in the tree. A context menu item has been added to allow the user to view them.
  * The properties dialog has been redesigned to be more compact and readable.
  * The context menu for the test tree has been simplified.
