# Tenzir Test v1.8.1

This release improves suite fixture failure handling so setup and teardown errors are reported as regular test failures. The harness now continues running independent queued tests instead of aborting with a Python traceback.

Suite-scoped fixture setup and teardown failures now appear as regular test failures instead of aborting the entire run with a Python traceback.

This lets the harness continue with independent queued tests after a fixture assertion or cleanup error.
