ANNOUNCE rt-tests version 2.7

From: John Kacur
Date: Tue May 07 2024 - 10:42:49 EST


I am pleased to announce rt-tests-2.7

The most significant changes here are from Crystal who changed the
cyclictest histogram code into a library and added it to cyclicdeadline.
This makes it possible for tools like rteval to parse the results.

histogram output could be added to other tools in the rt-tests suite as
well.

In addition Chris White has added a dockerfile for people who want to
experiment with running rt-tests in a container.

In addition there are various tweaks and fixes from a few different
people, thank you to everyone who contributed.

Bug reports and patches are always welcome

Note in some distributions such as Fedora and RedHat the program is
renamed realtime-tests because of a naming conflict.
