Changelog History

• v3.12 Changes

  May 15, 2019

  🚀 This release of NUnit finally drops support for .NET 2.0. If your application still targets .NET 2.0, your tests will need to target at least .NET 3.5. Microsoft ended support for .NET 2.0 on July 12, 2011. Microsoft recommends that everyone migrate to at least .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for security and performance fixes.

  🚀 This release dramatically improves NUnit support for async tests including returning ValueTask and custom tasks from tests, improved handling of SynchronizationContexts and better exception handling.

  ✅ The .NET Standard 2.0 version of NUnit continues to gain more functionality that is found in the .NET 4.5 version of the framework like setting the ApartmentState and enabling Timeout on tests.

• v3.11 Changes

  October 07, 2018

  • More informative assertion messages
  • PlatformAttribute is available on .NET Standard 2.0 and now detects .NET Core
  • ValuesAttribute now works with nullable types
  • 🏁 Async tests detecting and running Windows Forms or WPF message pumps rather than deadlocking
  • 👌 Support for UWP 10.0 is back via .NET Standard 1.4

• v3.10.1 Changes

  March 13, 2018

  ➕ Added a namespace to the props file included in the NuGet package to make it compatible with versions of Visual Studio prior to VS 2017.

• v3.10 Changes

  March 13, 2018

  🚀 This release adds a .NET Standard 2.0 version of the framework which re-enables most of the features that have been missing in our earlier .NET Standard builds like parallelism, timeouts, directory and path based asserts, etc. It also contains numerous bug fixes and smaller enhancements. We've improved our XML docs, fixed performance issues and added more detail to Multiple Asserts.

  🚀 This release also contains source-indexed PDB files allowing developers to debug into the NUnit Framework. This allows you to track down errors or see how the framework works.

  🐧 In order to support the .NET Standard 2.0 version, the NUnit project switched to the new CSPROJ format and now requires Visual Studio 2017 to compile. This only effects people contributing to the project. NUnit still supports building and compiling your tests in older .NET IDEs and NUnit still supports older versions of the .NET Framework back to 2.0. For contributors, NUnit can now compile all supported targets on Windows, Linux and Mac using the Cake command line build.

• v3.9 Changes

  November 10, 2017

  🚀 This release addresses numerous parallelization issues that were introduced in 3.8 when method level parallelization was added. Most of the parallelization issues resolved were tests never completing when using some combinations of parallel tests and ApartmentState not being properly applied to tests in all cases.

• v3.8.1 Changes

  August 29, 2017

  🚑 This release fixes two critical regressions in the 3.8 release. The first caused the console runner to crash if you are using test parameters. The second issue caused collection constraints checking for multiple items in a collection to fail.

  Issues Resolved

  • 2386 Contains.Item() fails for collections in NUnit 3.8
  • ✅ 2390 Missing value attribute in test parameters setting causes NullReferenceException in console

• v3.8 Changes

  August 28, 2017

  🚀 This release removes several methods and attributes that were marked obsolete in the
  🚀 original 3.0 release. Support for iOS and Android has been improved.

  ✅ An issue that caused unit tests to run slower was addressed as was a bug that prevented
  the use of Assert.Multiple in async code.

  The Order attribute can now also be applied to the class level to set the order
  ✅ that test fixtures will be run.

• v3.7.1 Changes

  June 06, 2017

  🚑 This is a hotfix release that addresses occasional hangs when using test parallization and fixes crashes in NCrunch prior to version 3.9.

• v3.7 Changes

  May 30, 2017

  🚀 This release of NUnit expands on parallel test execution to allow test methods to be run in parallel. Please see the Parallelizable Attribute for more information.

  🏗 NUnit 3.7 also drops the Portable build of the framework and replaces it with a .NET Standard 1.3 version to complement the .NET Standard 1.6 version. This change enables several constraints and other features in the .NET Standard builds that weren't available in portable like Path and Directory based asserts.

  ⚡️ The AssertionHelper class has been deprecated because it is seldom used and has not received any of the updates that Asserts and Constraints receive. If your code is using the AssertionHelper class, we recommend that you migrate your asserts.
