Re: dogtail -devel Dogtail 0.7.0 Released

[Jeffrey Huang <Jeffrey Huang Sun COM>]

Hi, Zack,

I am using dogtail to do GUI automated testing on OpenSolaris,
and very happy to see it is updated with the new atspi, as my testing
was blocking for quite something, and even think about to move to LDTP.

So as moving on, can we make some improvements to let us be updated
with status and progress, include:

1. Status update, like when incompatibility happens if GNOME and ATSPI
changed
2. Progress of current development
 I can get some info from timeline:
  https://fedorahosted.org/dogtail/timeline
3. Future plan, like
  - Schedule for next major release
  - How often it is updated? Is it on a regular basis?
  - Any plan to support new features or new updates in the future?

I would recommend that dogtail is very good harness for Gnome GUI testing,
so what I'd to like to see is to make it more confident for test 
engineers to use it.

Great Thanks
Jeffrey
