- * Status
- /*------------------------------------.
- | New features need further testing. |
- `------------------------------------*/
- * Now that configure depends on shell functions, it is possible that
- configure scripts may fail to run on old platforms that lack a shell
- with proper function support.
- * Autotest parallel testsuite support is still a work in progress.
- There are known issues in job handling under dash and some ksh
- variants, where a parallel testsuite can hang or cause a 100%
- processor load. In the current release, the overall autoconf
- testsuite only exercises parallel autotest under bash and zsh, or if
- you have defined TEST_PARALLEL_AUTOTEST in the environment.
- Meanwhile, Cygwin has known problems with named fifos that cause
- failures when attempting parallel tests in an autotest suite. It is
- possible that other difficulties will be encountered, whether with
- shell or platform limitations; help is appreciated in improving
- parallel testsuite support.
