This project is a fork of the official NUnit Project codebase for NUnit version 2 at https://github.com/nunit/nunitv2. The last version published by the NUnit Project was 2.6.4 and the project is now archived.

At the time of creating this project, many people are still using NUnit V2. This may be for many reasons, which are usually external to the developers themselves. I was part of the decision to archive NUnit V2, but seeing so much continued use I want to assist teams who are "stuck" with V2 as much as possible.

This fork will produce new versions of NUnit, beginning with 2.6.5 and limited to the 2.x range, so long as it appears justifiable on the basis of downloads and usage. I do not anticipate introducing major improvements or big new features. You won't get parallelism here, for example, but will have to migrate to NUnit 3 for that.

Rather, this project will concentrate on two main audiences...

  1. Those who must use NUnit V2 for some reason for the forseeable feature. For those folks, I'll fix bugs and may back port small fixes and enhancements from NUnit 3.

  2. Those who need assistance in migrating to NUnit 3. For them, I'd like NUnit itself to be capable of warning them when tehy are using features that are no longer supported in NUnit 3, are supported by a different syntax or whose semantics have changed.

The degree of focus on the two audiences will depend on who shows up to ask for help!
