[Avocado-devel] Avocado 0.26.0 released!

[Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues]

Hi guys, I'm here to announce avocado 0.26.0. This release was 
dedicated to
polish aspects of the avocado user experience, such as documentation and
behavior.

Changes

* Now avocado tests that raise exceptions that don't inherit from
  `avocado.core.exceptions.TestBaseException` now will be marked as 
ERRORs.
  This change was made to make avocado to have clearly defined test 
statuses.
  A new decorator, `avocado.fail_on_error` was added to let arbitary 
exceptions
  to raise errors, if users need a more relaxed behavior.

* The avocado.Test() utility method skip() now can only be called from 
inside
  the setUp() method. This was made because by definition, if we get to 
the
  test execution step, by definition it can't be skipped anymore. It's 
important
  to keep the concepts clear and well separated if we want to give 
users a good
  experience.

* More documentation polish and updates. Make sure you check out our 
documentation
  website http://avocado-framework.readthedocs.org/en/latest/.

* A number of avocado command line options and help text was reviewed 
and
  updated.

* A new, leaner and mobile friendly version of the avocado website is 
live.
  Please check http://avocado-framework.github.io/ for more information.

* We have the first version of the avocado dashboard! avocado dashboard 
is the
  initial version of an avocado web interface, and will serve as the 
frontend
  to our testing database. You can check out a screenshot here
