5.5.3

• {Fix} Performance fixes in BeEquivalenTo - #935
• {Fix} Reverted 5.5.0 changes to AssertionScope to ensure binary compatibility - #977

5.5.2

• {Fix} Allows BeEquivalentTo to handle a non-generic collection as the SUT - #975, #973
• {Fix} Optimized performance of IncludeMemberByPathSelectionRule - #969

5.5.1

• {New} Now provides a hint when strings differ in length and contain differences - #915, #907
• {New} Added ThrowAsync, ThrowExactlyAsync and NotThrowAsync - #931
• {New} Added support for Should().Throw and Should().NotThrow for Func<T> - #951
• {New} Added support for private protected access modifier - #932
• {New} Updated BeApproximately to support nullable types for both the subject and the expectation nullable - #934
• {New} Added async version of ExecutionTime to - #938
• {New} Updated NotBeApproximately to accepting nullable subject and expectation - #939
• {New} type.Should().Be(type) now support open generics - #954, #955
• {Fix} Minor performance improvements to prevent rendering messages if a test did not fail - #921, #915
• {Fix} Improve performance of Should().AllBeEquivalentTo() - #920, #914
• {Fix} Improve the presentation of enums to include the value and the number - #923, #897
• {Fix} BeEquivalentTo with WithStrictOrdering produced messy failure message - #918
• {Fix} Fixes detecting checking equivalency of a null subject to a dictionary - #933
• {Fix} Fixes duplicate conversions being mentioned in the output of the equivalency API - #941
• {Fix} Comparing an object graph against IEnumerable now works now as expected - #911
• {Fix} Selecting members during object graph assertions now better handles new overrides -#960, #956

Note In versions prior to 5.5, FA may have skipped certain properties in the equivalency comparison. #960 fixes this, so this may cause some breaking changes.

Lots of kudos @jnyrup and @krajek for a majority for the work in this release.

5.5.0

• {Breaking Change} Since the addition of Should().Throw and Should().NotThrow for Func<T>, assertions Should().Be and Should().NotBe can't be used on Func<T> objects anymore, so this may cause breaking changes. These instances can easily be replaced with Should().BeSameAs and Should().NotBeSameAs as these types are compared by references.

5.4.2

• {Fix} Limits the depth of rendering an object to a max of 5 to prevent OOM exceptions - #898
• {Fix} Show the entire exception instead of just the message when an async function throws - #892
• {Fix} Fixed a StackOverflow while comparing an self-returning enumerable - #887
• {Fix} Custom rules (Using().WhenTypeIs()) were not executed on dictionary equivalency assertions - #886
• {Fix} The failure message of HaveOffset returned the seconds instead of the offset - #883

5.4.1

• {Fix} Make GetEqualityStrategy thread-safe again - #864

5.4.0

• {Fix} Fixes the dependency on the unlisted System.Reflection.Emit by adding direct support for .NET Core - #861
• {Potentially Breaking} Restricted the Event assertion API to the run-time .NET platforms only - #861

5.3.2

• {Fix} AssertionScope did not work with GenericCollectionAssertions - #835
• {Fix} Improved the performance of asserting large arrays for equivalency - #840
• {Fix} Handle an edge case that only seems to happen under NCrunch - #841
• {Fix} Resolved potential deadlocks and long-running threads in the execution time assertions - #842

Kudos to @peterekepeter and @jnyrup for those fixes.

5.3.0

• {Fix} Fix String.ContainAll param documentation - #810
• {Fix} Test framework detection didn't always work under .NET Core 2.0 - #825
• {New} MethodImplAttribute now works with (Not)BeDecoratedWith - #804
• {New} Added support for integral types to [Not]BeCloseTo - #803
• {New} Increased the accuracy of [Not]BeCloseTo for DateTime[Offset] to Tick precision instead of milliseconds - #820
• {New} Many performance improvements to BeEquivalentTo - #817

Kudos to @jnyrup for making this release possible. Thanks to @melchiork for contributing #825.

5.2.0

• {New} Downgraded to .NET Standard 1.3 - #780
• {New} Added support for (Not)Be(Abstract|Sealed|Static) class assertions implemented - #796

• {Fix} Nullable properties of type IEnumerable should still be treated as enumerables - #793
• {Fix} Improved the failure messages for (Not)BeApproximately - #795
• {Fix} Bumped dependency on System.ValueTuple to 4.4. - #802
