The NUnit 2.4.4 release is the latest in the 2.4 series and provides some new
functionality in addition to a number of bug fixes.

The most visible feature change is the new ability to tailor the text output
tabs displayed in the gui. The user can add new tabs, remove tabs and
completely control which type of output is displayed in each tab. Some users
may wish to have everything merged in a single tab while others will keep the
old style of having Console.Out, Console.Error, Trace and Log output on
individual tabs.

Yes, I said "Log Output." NUnit 2.4.4 will now display log output from the
tests in the gui. Only log4net output is supported and NUnit now also uses
log4net for its own internal logging.

Another change is the reorganization of the Options Dialog using a
tree-based format rather than tabs. This was done to allow room for new
options. One example is the new TextOutput settings panel.

In the area of Extensibility, a new ExtensionPoint has been added, which
allows user code to capture the events that occur during the progress of a
test run for the purpose of recording or reporting on them.
