Release Notes

6.1.0

• Conditional action — A new composite action that evaluates a Predicate<Context> before executing its body. When the predicate returns false, the entire body subtree reports SKIPPED with a configurable reason message. Build with Conditional.builder(name, predicate).body(action).reason("...").build().
• @BeforeAll and @AfterAll annotations — New runner lifecycle hooks discovered during classpath scanning. @BeforeAll methods execute once before any discovered test actions; @AfterAll methods execute once after all tests complete. Both return Action/Builder, same signature as @Factory. Hooks are ordered by @Priority on their declaring class. When hooks are present, the root action is wrapped in a Static with before/after sequences.

Unreleased

• Until action -- A new decorator action that executes a body repeatedly until a Predicate<Context> returns true, the body passes, or maxIterations is exhausted. Individual iteration failures do not terminate the loop. When until() is configured, only ABORTED or predicate satisfaction causes early termination; exhaustion reports FAILED. When until() is absent, the loop stops when the body passes and reports PASSED. Build with Until.builder(name).body(action).until(predicate).maxIterations(n).build().

6.1.0 documentation baseline

These docs reflect the current source tree:

• Java 17+ core API under org.paramixel.api.
• Action trees are composable execution units executed by Runner.
• Configuration uses paramixel.properties, JVM system properties, and programmatic Configuration objects.
• Maven plugin artifact is org.paramixel:maven-plugin with goal prefix paramixel and goal test.
• Gradle usage is via a JavaExec task that runs org.paramixel.api.Runner.
• Reports are enabled with paramixel.report.file.

Migration guides are available for upgrading from 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.0.x, and 5.1.x directly to 6.x.
