A new class (org.pitest.mutationtest.tooling.EntryPoint) has been introduced that removes some of the duplication that existed in the various ways of launching mutation analysis.

0.30

• Support for parametrized Spock tests

• Ability to override maven options from command line
• Ability to fail a build if it does not achieve a given mutation score
• Performance improvement when tests use @BeforeClass or @AfterClass annotations

• Fix for 100% CPU usage when child JVM crashes
• Fix for #35 #38 - experimental member variable mutator now corrects stack
