+## Changed the signal used to terminate a test process (group)
+
+A test process (group) is now terminated via SIGTERM instead of SIGKILL
+allowing the signal to be handled. However, it is now the responsibility of
+the custom signal handler (if any) to ensure that any process spawned by the
+top-level test processes is correctly killed.
