TestNG 5.13.1 is now available. The previous release was just three months ago, but as you can see below, a lot of fixes went into this new version. A big thanks to everyone who helped (hopefully credited below), and especially to Nalin Makar, who made some major contributions to TestNG these past months.

You can either download TestNG from the web site or from Maven:

      org.testng
      testng
      5.13.1
      test
