https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11983 <p> I've encountered problems with the boost test reports in XML format.

Interestingly , the unescaped characters appear in the XML report only. The XML logger is not affected for all boost versions including 1.60. When running with <code>--log_format=XML --log_level=all</code> any boost test version correctly prints </p> <pre class="wiki">&lt;TestCase name="test&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;" ... </pre> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11983 Trac 1.4.3 Raffi Enficiaud Tue, 16 Feb 2016 23:48:41 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11983#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11983#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">Gennadiy Rozental</span> to <span class="trac-author">Raffi Enficiaud</span> </li> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">assigned</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Raffi Enficiaud Wed, 17 Feb 2016 00:17:18 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11983#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11983#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>milestone</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">To Be Determined</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost 1.61.0</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Raffi Enficiaud Wed, 17 Feb 2016 00:17:36 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11983#comment:4 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11983#comment:4 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">assigned</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> Merged to master rev 6a3a616 </p> Ticket
