Hi,
About LDTP:

Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test 
automation framework. It uses the "Accessibility" libraries to poke 
through the application's user interface. Thanks to Sun and 
Accessibility team.

Whats new in this release:

* Testing Applications in localized languages using LDTP ('Nagappan' & 
'Premkumar')
The wait is over! Languages are no barriers for testing applications any 
more! We are proud to announce the localization support available with 
this release of LDTP which no other F/OSS test automation tool has ever 
provided till date. This version of LDTP lets you test applications in 
localized languages. The best part being not necessary to rewrite 
scripts for testing applications running in localized languages. Use 
existing script, follow the simple steps provided in the README file 
(Localization support section) and you have LDTP testing your 
application!! The current version of LDTP does not include testing of 
rendering of localized strings. Thanks to Karunakar 
(karunakar@indlinux.org) for helping us complete this work successfully.

* New component functions:
   + 'sortcolumnindex' and 'sortcolumn' for table/tree-table objects. 
('Shaheed')
   + 'getwindowlist' and 'getcomponentlist' ('Premkumar')
   + 'bindtext', 'getobjectinfo' and 'getobjectproperties' ('Nagappan')

* Major Bug Fixes:
  + Proper error messages have been updated for easy debugging ('Nagappan')
  + 'selectrow' to select row based on number of matchings ('Shaheed')
  + 'doesrowexist' now performs an exact match ('Shaheed')
  + Crasher bug in menu.c relating to menu items has been fixed 
('Nagappan')
  + Crasher bug in 'selectcalendardate' API has been fixed ('Premkumar')

* Automation scripts:
  + Evolution 2.5.1 automation scripts for the following scenarios have 
been updated. Thanks to Patrick (patrick.gu@sun.com), Haip 
(harry.lu@sun.com), Nags (anagappan@novell.com), Premkumar 
(jpremkumar@novell.com) and Shaheed (sshaik@novell.com) for their 
wonderful contribution.
