Summary of changes in version 4.12

Assertions

[Pull request #611:](https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/junit-team/junit4/pull/611) Assert.assertNotEquals() for float parameters

Version 4.11 added Assert.assertEquals() for float parameters with a delta, and Assert.assertNotEquals(). This is the combination of those two features.

[Pull request #632:](https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/junit-team/junit4/pull/632) Assert.assertArrayEquals() for boolean[] parameters.

Assert.assertArrayEquals() previously existed for all primitive array types, except boolean[]. This has now been added for boolean[].

[Pull request #918:](https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/junit-team/junit4/pull/918) Avoid potentially expensive reflection-based loop in Assert.assertArrayEquals()

In the usual case, where the array elements are in fact exactly equal, the potentially expensive reflection-based loop to compare them is avoided by using Arrays.deepEquals() first. The exact comparison is only executed when deepEquals() returns false.

Command-line options

[Pull request #647:](https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/junit-team/junit4/pull/647) Support command-line --filter param.

When running JUnit from the command line, a command-line parameter can be supplied using --filter, which supplies a filter that will restrict which tests and subtests from the rest of the command will be run. For example, this will run only the tests in ExampleTestSuite that are in categories Cat1 or Cat2:

java org.junit.runner.JUnitCore \
  --filter=org.junit.experimental.categories.IncludeCategories=pkg.of.Cat1,pkg.of.Cat2 \
  com.example.ExampleTestSuite

In general, the argument to --filter should be ClassName=param, where ClassName names an implementation of FilterFactory, whose createFilter method will be called with an instance of FilterFactoryParams that contains "param", in order to return the filter to be applied.

Test Runners

[Pull request #763:](https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/junit-team/junit4/pull/763) Allow custom test runners to create their own TestClasses and customize the scanning of annotations.

This introduces some extension points to ParentRunner to allow subclasses to control creation
of the TestClass instance and to scan for annotations.

[Pull request #817:](https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/junit-team/junit4/pull/817) Support for context hierarchies

The AnnotatedBuilder is a strategy for constructing runners for test classes that have been annotated with the @RunWith annotation. All tests within such a class will be executed using the runner that was specified within the annotation.

Prior to JUnit 4.12, this covered only the tests within the annotated test class. With 4.12, the AnnotationBuilder will also support inner member classes. If a custom test runner supports inner member classes (which JUnit does not support out-of-the-box), the member classes will inherit the runner from the enclosing class, e.g.:

[@​RunWith](https://github.com/RunWith)(MyRunner.class)
public class MyTest {
    // some tests might go here
</tr></table> ... (truncated)
