- This release fixes about two dozen bugs. It is also the first release in the 2.5 series that is recommended for use on Linux under Mono.
New in NUnit 2.5.7 (Aug 1, 2010)
- This short release cycle was due to a bug found in the 2.5.6 code that caused certain TestFixtureAttributes on a generic fixture type to be

New in NUnit 2.5.5 (Apr 23, 2010)
- This release should now work correctly with VS2010 and .Net 4.0 and has also been updated to correct problems testing 64-bit applications. There are a number of enhancements to Theories, which however remain experimental.
New in NUnit 2.5.4 (Apr 9, 2010)
- The NUnit 2.5.4 release changes the way that test assemblies are loaded. Whereas past releases defaulted to loading assemblies under the same runtime used by NUnit, this release uses the runtime for which a test assembly was built as its default.

- It supports .NET 4.0 and fixes a number of bugs from the prior release.
New in NUnit 2.9.3 (Oct 26, 2009)
- This release integrates test loading and running into the framework assembly and adds .NET 3.5 and 4.0 builds.
New in NUnit 2.9.2 (Sep 19, 2009)
- This release merges the nunit and nunitlite code bases and provides compact framework builds.
- The binary zip file includes builds of the full NUnit framework for net-1.1 and net-2.0 and of NUnitLite for net-1.1, net-2.0, netcf-1.1 and netcf-2.0. NUnitLite is not included in the windows installer.
- The NUnitLite test files are self-testing exes.
New in NUnit 2.9.1 (Aug 27, 2009)
- The NUnit 2.9.1 Framework is a usable functional equivalent to the 2.5.2 version of the framework delivered as part of the stable release. Tests linked with the 2.91 framework may be executed under NUnit 2.5.2.
- While there are no added features, this is a major milestone because it marks our successful transition to Lauchpad and the separation of the framework from the rest of NUnit as an independent project.
- The NUnit Framework license has changed to MIT / X11 as of this release.
New in NUnit 2.5 (May 3, 2009)
- Parameterized (data-driven) tests are supported, with features similar to those found in mbUnit and xUnit.net.
- Theories - as used in JUnit- are supported fully, including support for Assume.That.
- New attributes allow the specifying the thread and apartment state requirements of a test.
- Exception handling can now be moved into the test code using Assert.Throws or the Throws.Exception syntax.
- Test methods and fixtures may now be generic and many asserts and constraint expressions now support generic syntax.
- Many constraints now permit substitution of a user-defined comparison algorithm through the Using modifier. Lambda expressions are supported.
- Test execution may now take place in a separate process for better isolation.
- Tests may be loaded and executed using a selected runtime version.
- Tests, setup methods, teardown methods and data sources may be static if desired. If there are no instance methods, then NUnit doesn't need to construct your test class.
- Source code is displayed in the gui, where available.
