- The Common Test HTML overview pages have been improved. It is now possible to see if a test case has been skipped explicitly or because a configuration function has failed. Also, the history page (all_runs.html) now has scrolling text displaying the test names. The old format (showing names as a truncated string) can still be generated by means of the flag/option 'basic_html'.

### 1.4 Test_Server 3.3

#### 1.4.1 Improvements and New Features

- The conf case in Test Server has been extended with properties that make it possible to execute test cases in parallel, in sequence and in shuffled order. It is now also possible to repeat test cases according to different criterias. The properties can be combined, making it possible to e.g. repeat a conf case a certain number of times and execute the test cases in different (random) order every time. The properties are specified in a list in the conf case definition: {conf, Properties, InitCase, TestCases, EndCase}. The available properties are: parallel, sequence, shuffle, repeat, repeat_until_all_ok, repeat_until_any_ok, repeat_until_any_fail, repeat_until_all_fail.
