<!-- markdown -->

The Yetus Test Patch plugin for parsing JUnit results, `junit`, now accepts two cli options:

* `--junit-test-output` location relative to module directory to search for junit results.
* `--junit-test-prefix` package name to strip off of tests

See the cli help via `test-patch --plugin=junit --help` for more information, defaults, etc.

Personalities for Apache Yetus Test Patch can now accept cli options by defining a `personality_parse_args` function.

The exemplar personality for Apache Hadoop now has options to define an installation prefix for the isal, openssl, and snappy libaries used in its building of native artifacts.
