Robot Testing Framework 1.4.0 (2018-02-09) Release Notes

Important Changes

• RTF now requires CMake 3.5 for building.
• C++11 is required for compiling and using RTF.
• Added [[noreturn]] c++11 statement for assert macros.
• Fixed old typo, the keyword suit has been replaced with suite, maintaining
  the backward compatibility.
• Added target_include_directories in all RTF libraries.
• Change logic for RTF_*_IF(condition, message) functions, adding new
  functions RTF_*_IF_TRUE and RTF_*_IF_FALSE, deprecating the old ones.
• It is now possible to pass an absolute path to a library.
• The RTF libraries library can now be compiled either as shared or
  static libraries, using the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
  CMake variable. For RTF, we set the default value of BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to ON.
  Before this release, Windows compilation was only supported if RTF libraries were compiled
  as static libraries, while now also on Windows by default libraries are compiled as shared ( Support generation of shared libraries in Windows robot-testing-framework#85 ).

  In particular commit c114635 has been imported from YARP.
  See issue #435 in robotology/yarp for more details.
