It is of ALPHA quality, in that what is implemented is +meant to work, but we reserve the right to make backwards incompatible, +breaking changes in future releases. + +## General + +* When a scenario step matches more than one binding, the error + message now lists all the matching bindings to make it easier for + the user to fix the problem. (By Lars Wirzenius) + +* The documentation now explains core concepts relevant to Subplot, + and suggests an initial workflow for a project using Subplot. (By + Lars Wirzenius) + +## Python support + +* The `lib/daemon` Subplot library now uses custom Python code instead + of the netcat tool. This removes a dependency, and also avoids the + problem of there being at least two more or less incompatible + versions of netcat in common use. (By Alexander Batischev) + +* The `lib/daemon` library now has a way to pass environment variables + to the daemon. (By Alexander Batischev) + +## Bash support + +* The documentation now makes it clearer that the `files_get` + function returns the contents of the embedded file and not a + filename. (By Richard Maw) + +* Some spelling and other language mistakes have been fixed in the + documentation for Bash support. (By Richard Maw) + +* The `dict` helper functions can now read embedded files. (By Richard + Maw) + +* The generated Bash test program now supports the `--env` option to + let the user pass in environment variables when invoking the test + program. (By Richard Maw) + +* Assertion functions now return an error rather then terminating the + test program. This lets cleanups run.
