>> *- Ability to include test plans in other test plans:* this is very useful
>> if you use a "base test plan" which you want to extend; for instance, you
>> want all the tests in the "certification provider" plus a few of your own.
>> This is now possible! Sylvain is updating the documentation, but in the
>> meantime you'll find a brief explanation here

>>
>> Important note regarding FWTS tests
>>
>> From now on, a copy of dmesg and syslog are included in the logs generated
>> when running FWTS tests in order to help engineers when investigating
>> issues.
>> Because of this, the generated logs might become very big, so it was
>> decided to compress them before sending them over to C3 (when submitting
>> to
>> C3).
>>
>> Currently, Checkbox cannot send binary files to C3, so we have to
>> base64-encode the compressed files before sending them.
>>
>> This means that when this version is pushed to the Stable PPA, if you want
>> to open a FWTS log file from C3, you'll have to do the following:
>>
>>   - download file from C3 (let's call it "fwts_log")
>>   - decode it: base64 -d fwts_log > fwts_log.xz
>>   - uncompress it (it's an xz archive)
