`ProgressReporter` does not update its display until a test file is complete.

- The standard output and standard error, i.e. `print()`, `cat()`, `message()`, etc. output from the test files are lost currently.
If you want to use `cat()` or `message()` for print-debugging test cases, then the best is to temporarily run tests sequentially, by changing the `Config` entry in `DESCRIPTION` or selecting a non-parallel reporter, e.g. the `CheckReporter`:

This was an overly clever API that I regretted even before the release of testthat 1.0.0.

- `expect_equivalent()` has been deprecated since it is now equivalent (HA HA) to `expect_equal(ignore_attr = TRUE)`.
The main difference is that it won't ignore names; so you'll need an explicit `unname()` if you deliberately want to ignore names.

- `setup()` and `teardown()` are deprecated in favour of test fixtures.
See `vignette("test-fixtures")` for details.
