September 24, 2003 - Version 1.3.0 Released
POSIX Test Suite 1.3.0 is planned to be the last release in a while (pending any urgent bug-fixes/suggestions). It includes a slew of even more pthread conformance tests (barriers, rwlocks, etc.), tests for mmap, munmap and fsync, and of course, bug fixes and suggestions made from the previous 1.2.0 version (thanks again to Ulrich Drepper, Robbie Williams, Dan Kegal, and everyone else involved in the open-source community). It also has smarter test scripts that do not execute any speculative tests by default, and that also give more detailed descriptions of test failures (unsupported, unresolved. untested, etc.) See the release page for downloads and more information.

POSIX Test Suite 1.2.0 is a significant release because of it's complete threads core conformance tests, timers core conformance tests, complete signals, message queues, and semaphores conformance tests! Also there are added important POSIX functions such as the ones associated with sys/mman.h (thanks for Jerome M.). Bug fixes from previous release as well. See the release page for downloads and more information.
