3 * If your code has a $SIG{__DIE__} handler in some cases functions like
4 use_ok(), require_ok(), can_ok() and isa_ok() could trigger that
5 handler. [rt.cpan.org 23509]
6 - Minor improvement to TB's filehandle detection in the case of overridden
7 isa(). [rt.cpan.org 20890]
8 - Will now install as a core module in 5.6.2 which ships with Test::More.
12 - Test::Builder->is_fh() provides a way to determine if a thing
13 can be used as a filehandle.
15 Documentation improvements
16 - Improved the docs for $Test::Builder::Level showing the encouraged
17 use (increment, don't set)
18 - Documented the return value of Test::Builder's test methods
19 - Split out TB's method documentation to differenciate between test
20 methods (ok, is_eq...), methods useful in testing (skip, BAILOUT...)
21 and methods useful for building your own tests (maybe_regex...).
24 - We required too old a version of Test::Pod::Coverage. Need 1.08 and not
25 1.00. [rt.cpan.org 25351]
27 0.67 Mon Jan 22 13:27:40 PST 2007
29 - t/pod_coverage.t would fail if Test::Pod::Coverage between 1.07 and
30 1.00 were installed as it depended on all_modules being exported.
33 0.66 Sun Dec 3 15:25:45 PST 2006
34 - Restore 5.4.5 compatibility (unobe@cpan.org) [rt.cpan.org 20513]
36 0.65 Fri Nov 10 10:26:51 CST 2006
38 0.64_03 Sun Nov 5 13:09:55 EST 2006
39 - Tests will no longer warn when run against an alpha version of
40 Test::Harness [rt.cpan.org #20501]
41 - Now testing our POD and POD coverage.
42 - Added a LICENSE field.
43 - Removed warning from the docs about mixing numbered and unnumbered
44 tests. There's nothing wrong with that. [rt.cpan.org 21358]
45 - Change doc examples to talk about $got and $expected rather than
46 $this and $that to correspond better to the diagnostic output
49 0.64_02 Sat Sep 9 12:16:56 EDT 2006
50 - Last release broke Perls earlier than 5.8.
52 0.64_01 Mon Sep 4 04:40:42 EDT 2006
53 - Small improvement to the docs to avoid user confusion over
54 "use Test::More tests => $num_tests" (Thanks Eric Wilhelm)
55 - Minor fix for a test failure in is_deeply_fail for some Windows
56 users. Not a real bug. [rt.cpan.org 21310]
57 - _print_diag() accidentally leaked into the public documentation.
58 It is a private method.
59 * Added Test::Builder->carp() and croak()
60 * Made most of the error messages report in the caller's context.
62 * Made the failure diagnostic message file and line reporting portion
63 match Perl's for easier integration with Perl aware editors.
64 (so its "at $file line $line_num." now)
66 * 5.8.0 threads are no longer supported. There's too many bugs.
68 0.64 Sun Jul 16 02:47:29 PDT 2006
69 * 0.63's change to test_fail() broke backwards compatibility. They
70 have been removed for the time being. test_pass() went with it.
71 This is [rt.cpan.org 11317] and [rt.cpan.org 11319].
72 - skip() will now warn if you get the args backwards.
74 0.63 Sun Jul 9 02:36:36 PDT 2006
75 * Fixed can_ok() to gracefully handle no class name.
76 Submitted by "Pete Krawczyk" <perl@bsod.net>
77 Implemented by "Richard Foley" <richard.foley@rfi.net>
79 * Added test_pass() to Test::Builder::Tester rather than having to
80 call test_out("ok 1 - foo"). <chromatic@wgz.org> [rt.cpan.org 11317]
81 * test_fail() now accepts a test diagnostic rather than having to
82 call test_out() separately. <chromatic@wgz.org> [rt.cpan.org 11319]
83 - Changed Test::Builder::Tester docs to show best practice using
84 test_fail() and test_pass().
85 - isnt_num() doc example wrongly showed is_num(). <chromatic@wgz.org>
86 - Fixed a minor typo in the BAIL_OUT() docs. <Jeff Deifik>
87 - Removed the LICENSE field from the Makefile.PL as the release of
88 MakeMaker with that feature has been delayed.
90 0.62 Sat Oct 8 01:25:03 PDT 2005
91 * Absorbed Test::Builder::Tester. The last release broke it because its
92 screen scraping Test::More and the failure output changed. By
93 distributing them together we ensure TBT won't break again.
94 * Test::Builder->BAILOUT() was missing.
95 - is_deeply() can now handle function and code refs in a very limited
96 way. It simply looks to see if they have the same referent.
99 0.61 Fri Sep 23 23:26:05 PDT 2005
100 - create.t was trying to read from a file before it had been closed
101 (and thus the changes may not have yet been written).
102 * is_deeply() would call stringification methods on non-object strings
103 which happened to be the name of a string overloaded class.
106 0.60_02 Tue Aug 9 00:27:41 PDT 2005
107 * Added Test::Builder::Module.
108 - Changed Test::More and Test::Simple to use Test::Builder::Module
109 - Minor Win32 testing nit in fail-more.t
110 * Added no_diag() method to Test::Builder and changed Test::More's
111 no_diag internals to use that. [rt.cpan.org 8655]
112 * Deprecated no_diag() as an option to "use Test::More". Call the
113 Test::Builder method instead.
115 0.60_01 Sun Jul 3 18:11:58 PDT 2005
116 - Moved the docs around a little to better group all the testing
117 functions together. [rt.cpan.org 8388]
118 * Added a BAIL_OUT() function to Test::More [rt.cpan.org 8381]
119 - Changed Test::Builder->BAILOUT to BAIL_OUT to match other method's
120 naming conventions. BAILOUT remains but is deprecated.
121 * Changed the standard failure diagnostics to include the test name.
123 - is_deeply() was broken for overloaded objects in the top level in
124 0.59_01. [rt.cpan.org 13506]
125 - String overloaded objects without an 'eq' or '==' method are now
126 handled in cmp_ok() and is().
127 - cmp_ok() will now treat overloaded objects as numbers if the comparison
128 operator is numeric. [rt.cpan.org 13156]
129 - cmp_ok(), like() and unlike will now throw uninit warnings if their
130 arguments are undefined. [rt.cpan.org 13155]
131 - cmp_ok() will now throw warnings as if the comparison were run
132 normally, for example cmp_ok(2, '==', 'foo') will warn about 'foo'
133 not being numeric. Previously all warnings in the comparison were
134 supressed. [rt.cpan.org 13155]
135 - Tests will now report *both* the number of tests failed and if the
136 wrong number of tests were run. Previously if tests failed and the
137 wrong number were run it would only report the latter.
139 - Missing or extra tests are not considered failures for the purposes
140 of calculating the exit code. Should there be no failures but the
141 wrong number of tests the exit code will be 254.
142 - Avoiding an unbalanced sort in eq_set() [bugs.perl.org 36354]
143 - Documenting that eq_set() doesn't deal well with refs.
144 - Clarified how is_deeply() compares a bit.
145 * Once again working on 5.4.5.
147 0.60 Tue May 3 14:20:34 PDT 2005
149 0.59_01 Tue Apr 26 21:51:12 PDT 2005
150 * Test::Builder now has a create() method which allows you to create
151 a brand spanking new Test::Builder object.
152 * require_ok() was not working for single letter module names.
153 * is_deeply() and eq_* now work with circular scalar references
155 * Use of eq_* now officially discouraged.
156 - Removed eq_* from the SYNOPSIS.
157 - is_deeply(undef, $not_undef); now works. [rt.cpan.org 9441]
158 - is_deeply() was mistakenly interpeting the same reference used twice
159 in a data structure as being circular causing failures.
161 - Loading Test::Builder but not using it would interfere with the
162 exit code if the code exited. [rt.cpan.org 12310]
163 - is_deeply() diagnostics now disambiguate between stringified references
164 and references. [rt.cpan.org 8865]
165 - Files opened by the output methods are now autoflushed.
166 - todo() now honors $Level when looking for $TODO.
168 0.54 Wed Dec 15 04:18:43 EST 2004
169 * $how_many is optional for skip() and todo_skip(). Thanks to
170 Devel::Cover for pointing this out.
171 - Removed a user defined function called err() in the tests to placate
172 users of older versions of the dor patch before err() was weakend.
175 0.53_01 Sat Dec 11 19:02:18 EST 2004
176 - current_test() can now be set backward.
177 - *output() methods now handle tied handles and *FOO{IO} properly.
178 - maybe_regex() now handles undef gracefully.
179 - maybe_regex() now handles 'm,foo,' style regexes.
180 - sort_bug.t wasn't checking for threads properly. Would fail on
181 5.6 that had ithreads compiled in. [rt.cpan.org 8765]
183 0.53 Mon Nov 29 04:43:24 EST 2004
184 - Apparently its possible to have Module::Signature installed without
185 it being functional. Fixed the signature test to account for this.
188 0.52 Sun Nov 28 21:41:03 EST 2004
189 - plan() now better checks that the given plan is valid.
192 0.51_02 Sat Nov 27 01:25:25 EST 2004
193 * is_deeply() and all the eq_* functions now handle circular data
194 structures. [rt.cpan.org 7289]
195 * require_ok() now handles filepaths in addition to modules.
196 - Clarifying Test::More's position on overloaded objects
197 - Fixed a bug introduced in 0.51_01 causing is_deeply() to pierce
199 - Mentioning rt.cpan.org for reporting bugs.
201 0.51_01 Fri Nov 26 02:59:30 EST 2004
202 - plan() was accidentally exporting functions [rt.cpan.org 8385]
203 * diag @msgs would insert # between arguments. [rt.cpan.org 8392]
204 * eq_set() could cause problems under threads due to a weird sort bug
206 * undef no longer equals '' in is_deeply() [rt.cpan.org 6837]
207 * is_deeply() would sometimes compare references as strings.
209 - eq_array() and eq_hash() could hold onto references if they failed
210 keeping them in memory and preventing DESTROY. [rt.cpan.org 7032]
211 * is_deeply() could confuse [] with a non-existing value
213 - is_deeply() diagnostics a little off when scalar refs were inside
214 an array or hash ref [rt.cpan.org 7033]
215 - Thanks to Fergal Daly for ferretting out all these long standing
216 is_deeply and eq_* bugs.
218 0.51 Tue Nov 23 04:51:12 EST 2004
219 - Fixed bug in fail_one.t on Windows (not a real bug).
220 - TODO reasons as overloaded objects now won't blow up under threads.
222 - skip() in 0.50 tickled yet another bug in threads::shared. Hacked

237 0.48_02 Mon Jul 19 02:07:23 EDT 2004
238 * Overloaded objects as names now won't blow up under threads
239 [rt.cpan.org 4218 and 4232]
240 * Overloaded objects which stringify to undef used as test names
241 now won't cause internal uninit warnings. [rt.cpan.org 4232]
242 * Failure diagnostics now come out on their own line when run in
244 - eq_set() sometimes wasn't giving the right results if nested refs
245 were involved [rt.cpan.org 3747]
246 - isnt() giving wrong diagnostics and warning if given any undefs.
247 * Give unlike() the right prototype [rt.cpan.org 4944]
248 - Change from CVS to Aegis
249 - is_deeply() will now do some basic argument checks to guard against
250 accidentally passing in a whole array instead of its reference.
251 - Mentioning Test::Differences, Test::Deep and Bundle::Test.
252 - Removed dependency on File::Spec.
253 - Fixing the grammar of diagnostic outputs when only a single test
254 is run or failed (ie. "Looks like you failed 1 tests").
257 0.48_01 Mon Nov 11 02:36:43 EST 2002
258 - Mention Test::Class in Test::More's SEE ALSO
259 * use_ok() now DWIM for version checks
260 - More problems with ithreads fixed.
261 * Test::Harness upgrade no longer optional. It was causing too
262 many problems when the T::H upgrade didn't work.
263 * Drew Taylor added a 'no_diag' option to Test::More to switch
264 off all diag() statements.
265 * Test::Builder/More no longer automatically loads threads.pm

318 - Setting Test::Builder->current_test() now works (see what happens
319 when you forget to test things?)
320 - The change in is()'s undef/'' handling in 0.34 was an API change,
321 but I forgot to declare it as such.
322 - The apostrophilic jihad attacks! Philip Newtons patch for
323 grammar mistakes in the doc's.
325 0.41 Mon Dec 17 22:45:20 EST 2001

343 0.36 Thu Nov 29 14:07:39 EST 2001
344 - Matthias Urlichs found that intermixed prints to STDOUT and test
345 output came out in the wrong order when piped.
347 0.35 Tue Nov 27 19:57:03 EST 2001
348 - Little glitch in the test suite. No actual bug.

379 * Added Test::Builder
380 (Thanks muchly to chromatic for getting this off the ground!)
381 * Diagnostics are back to using STDERR *unless* it's from a todo
382 test. Those go to STDOUT.
383 - Fixed it so nothing is printed if a test is run with a -c flag.
384 Handy when a test is being deparsed with B::Deparse.
388 0.19 Tue Sep 18 17:48:32 EDT 2001

474 * exit code on abnormal exit changed to 255 (thanks to Tim Bunce for
475 pointing out that Unix can't do negative exit codes)
476 - abnormal exits now better caught.
477 - No longer using Test.pm to test this, but still minimum of 5.005
