1.5.0

CHANGES:

• Make Alcotest compatible with js_of_ocaml.3.11.0. Users can depend on the
  new virtual alcotest-js Opam library to pick up the right js_of_ocaml
  version automatically. (#326 #328, @hhugo @smorimoto)

• Record exception backtraces during test suite runs by default. This behaviour
  can be disabled by passing ~record_backtrace:false to Alcotest.run. (#317,
  @craigfe)

• Generate shorter unique identifiers for test runs (8-character alphanumeric,
  rather than a full 128-bit UUID). (#304, @craigfe)

• Change Alcotest.{char,string} pretty-printers to use OCaml syntax on
  assertion failures (i.e. wrap with quotes and escape control characters).
  (#318, @craigfe)

• Fix process for getting the width of attached terminals on MacOS.
  Previously, a terminal width of 80 columns was assumed. (#325, @craigfe)

• Fix parsing of test filter ranges to allow '-' separators (e.g. test alpha 1-4), as advertised in the manpage. The previously-used '..' separator is
  also supported. (#312, @craigfe)

• Introduce an Alcotest.V1 module that aliases the existing Alcotest API and
  provides a stability guarantee over major version changes. Similar versioned
  aliases also exist for the backends: Alcotest_{async,lwt}.V1. (#306,
  @craigfe)

• Change the ~filter argument to Alcotest.run to be a predicate over tests.
  (#305, @craigfe)

• Renamed / removed some less frequently used modules used by the test backends:

  • Alcotest.Unix -> Alcotest.Unix_platform
  • Alcotest_engine.{Cli,Core,Test} -> Alcotest_engine.V1.{Cli,Core,Test}
  • Alcotest.{Cli,Core} are now gone. Use Alcotest_engine.V1.{Cli,Core}.Make (Alcotest.Unix_platform) instead.
    (#306 #309, @craigfe)

• Avoid exporting list_tests in the main test APIs (Alcotest{,_lwt,_async}).
  Use Alcotest_engine directly if you want this function. (#310, @craigfe)
