[Avocado-devel] IMPORTANT: default test runner for Avocado 91.0

[Cleber Rosa]

Hello everyone,

The Avocado team is planning to switch the default runner, from the
implementation most people currently use (internally simply called
runner), to the newer architecture and implementation called
nrunner. This is scheduled to happen on version 91.0 (the next release).

Users installing and relying on the latest Avocado release will be
impacted by this change and should plan accordingly.

To keep using the current (soon to be legacy) runner, you must set the
--test-runner=runner command line option (or the equivalent test_runner
configuration option, under section [run]).

Known issues are being tracked on our GitHub project page, with the
nrunner tag, and new issue reports are appreciated.

Please let us know if you have any question or concern about this
change.

Thanks,
