Trinidad 1.0.8 is now available. Trinidad is the in-process test runner for FitNesse (java), allowing you to quickly execute, troubleshoot and debug FitNesse tests from your IDE and integrate FitNesse easily with a continuous build system through JUnit or Maven (without running the server). Version 1.0.8 changes include:

• JUnit Suite Runner (@RunWith) that prints fitnesse test names in JUnit reports (thanks to Johannes Link)
• Test names in suite results are now now hyperlinks to test outputs (thanks to Björn Beskow)
• Compatibility with latest FitNesse version (20090513)
