Announcing TestNG 2.4

The TestNG team is happy to announce the release of TestNG 2.4.

A lot of fixes and improvements have gone into this release (see the complete list) but the most important feature is the new Web site (http://testng.org) and the new packaging (org.testng.*).

There are also a couple of items I want to mention briefly:

A Flash demo of the Eclipse plug-in, created by Andrew Glover (who also set up a TestNG site with articles and resources).
A TestNG Maven plug-in. I couldn't include it in this release, but it is now part of our CVS depot and will be included in 2.4.1.

Big thanks go to Alexandru Popescu, Andrew Glover, Thierry Janaudy and Russel Winder for their participation to this new release!

You can download TestNG 2.4 here. The Eclipse plug-in has also been updated to this new version and can be obtained from the update site (http://beust.com/eclipse).

I can't see the changelog, because you need to make yourself a member of the google discussion group which I really don't want to do, just to see the changelog.
BTW: Do you have plans to build testng (and it's website) using Maven? I think it really helps people to find their way on the website.

Please, do we really have to register to Google Groups only to read the changelog?

Where's Andrew Glover making use of the TestNG Eclipse plug-in in his Flash demo? =)
