Ginkgo now requires Go 1.4+

Improvements:

• Call reporters in reverse order when announcing spec completion -- allows custom reporters to emit output before the default reporter does.

• Improved focus behavior. Now, this:

  FDescribe("Some describe", func() {
      It("A", func() {})
  
      FIt("B", func() {})
  })
  

  will run B but not A. This tends to be a common usage pattern when in the thick of writing and debugging tests.

• When SIGINT is received, Ginkgo will emit the contents of the GinkgoWriter before running the AfterSuite. Useful for debugging stuck tests.

• When --progress is set, Ginkgo will write test progress (in particular, Ginkgo will say when it is about to run a BeforeEach, AfterEach, It, etc...) to the GinkgoWriter. This is useful for debugging stuck tests and tests that generate many logs.

• Improved output when an error occurs in a setup or teardown block.

• When --dryRun is set, Ginkgo will walk the spec tree and emit to its reporter without actually running anything. Best paired with -v to understand which specs will run in which order.

• Add By to help document long Its. By simply writes to the GinkgoWriter.

• Add support for precompiled tests:

  • ginkgo build <path-to-package> will now compile the package, producing a file named package.test
  • The compiled package.test file can be run directly. This runs the tests in series.
  • To run precompiled tests in parallel, you can run: ginkgo -p package.test

• Support bootstrapping and generateing Agouti specs.

• ginkgo generate and ginkgo bootstrap now honor the package name already defined in a given directory

• The ginkgo CLI ignores SIGQUIT. Prevents its stack dump from interlacing with the underlying test suite's stack dump.

• The ginkgo CLI now compiles tests into a temporary directory instead of the package directory. This necessitates upgrading to Go v1.4+.

• ginkgo -notify now works on Linux

Bug Fixes:

• If --skipPackages is used and all packages are skipped, Ginkgo should exit 0.
• Fix tempfile leak when running in parallel
• Fix incorrect failure message when a panic occurs during a parallel test run
• Fixed an issue where a pending test within a focused context (or a focused test within a pending context) would skip all other tests.
• Be more consistent about handling SIGTERM as well as SIGINT
• When interrupted while concurrently compiling test suites in the background, Ginkgo now cleans up the compiled artifacts.
• Fixed a long standing bug where ginkgo -p would hang if a process spawned by one of the Ginkgo parallel nodes does not exit. (Hooray!)
