the more Moosey "BUILD" and 'default' mechanisms.
* Added some tests for better test coverage.
* Got rid of _get_simple_params and _get_private_simple_params .
* Got rid of the _get_private_fields anti-Moosism.

* Wrote a fix to the test failures that Test-Run-0.0115 experienced on
BSD systems due to a test-script path over 256 bytes.
- bug in the test script, not the code.
- http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Test-Run.html#Test-Run-0.0115
- thanks to apeiron from Freenode for testing it on Darwin.
0.0115 Fri Apr 4 14:11:27 IDT 2008
* Added the test file t/01unit-event-wrapper.t. (Fixed a bug when it
was used in list context).
* Test::Run::Straps::Base is now the base for Test::Run::Straps
and Test::Run::Straps::StrapsTotalsObj
* Fully converted Test::Run::Straps into BSDLed code.
Test::Run::Straps_GplArt is now just a placeholder for old documentation.
* Delegated more functionality into TAP::Parser (in ::Straps) while
refactoring the code.
* Added the Test.pl example under examples.
* Added full POD Coverage.
* Changed the license from "perl" to "mit" as all of the core code is
now that.

* Made some changes to the internals to give way for the
TrimLongFilenames module.
0.0114 Thu Feb 21 07:10:01 IST 2008
* Now requiring TAP::Parser-3.09, which broke some compatibility with
earlier versions.
- fixed the tests to pass with it:
- http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Test-Run.html#Test-Run-0.0113
0.0113 Tue Feb 19 20:05:29 IST 2008
* Converted more functionality from Test::Run::Core_GplArt into
a BSD-licensed code. Now there's nothing in Core_GplArt except
(out-of-date) documentation.
* Moved Test::Run::Straps Test::Run::Straps_GplArt and made
Test::Run::Straps a BSD-licensed class that inherits from it. Started
moving functionality and documentation there.
* Moved Test::Trap from the requires to the build_requires.
* More refactoring - methods extractions, etc.
* Added "use strict" and "use warnings" to all the .pm files.
* Added a link to the MIT X11 license to many modules and some POD to one
of the modules. This way finding which modules are MIT X11 will be easier
using grep -rL or grep -rl.
* Added the _run_sequence method to Test::Run::Base to run a sequence
of methods one after the other.
* Added the Test::Run::Straps::EventWrapper class to wrap a
TAP::Parser::Result and derived objects, and to delegate methods to it.
* Implemented the delegate_methods() method in Test::Run::Base to
delegate methods to an accessor.
- Added the t-r-base-delegate.t test file.
* Added the Test::Run module which will serve as the front-page for
the Test::Run suite on search.cpan.org and other resources.
0.0112 Sun Jun 24 19:23:42 IDT 2007
* Fixed the regression bugs with handling the directory with the
leaked files, that broke Test::Run::CmdLine, while adding a regression
test file.
0.0111 Sat Jun 23 11:56:31 IDT 2007
* Added Test::Run::Base::Plugger for managing classes with plug-ins and
made the helper classes into pluggable classes.
* Converted more functionality from Test::Run::Core_GplArt into
a BSD-licensed code.
0.0110 Mon Jun 11 14:13:58 IDT 2007
* Converted several helper modules to the MIT X11 licence, while
refactoring them in the process.
- every module specifically mentions its licence.
* Converted several functions to use Text::Sprintf::Named.
* Added dependence on Text::Sprintf::Named 0.02, in order to better
refactor the code. Added the T::R::Sprintf::Named::FromAccessors module
to retrieve values from the accessors. Started refactoring some of the
code to use it.
* Added the Test::Run::Trap::Obj class for managing trapping with
verbose debug information.
- base on Test::Trap
- Converted most of the tests to use it.
* Fixed the Test-Run-Plugin-ColorFileVerdicts module, as it was
broken due to the refactorings and moving of methods to ::CanonFailedObj.
* Added the class hierarchy calculation routines.
- Added the feature to accumulate directly on the class.
- concept borrowed from (but does not share code with) Class::Std.
0.0109 Mon Mar 19 15:22:35 IST 2007
* Refactored some code to make it more easily extensible and
over-ridable. Used in some plugins.

* Converted the tests to use Test::Trap.
0.0108 Sat Mar 17 18:24:45 IST 2007
* Now passing $args to _init_strap() so T-R-Plugin-AlternateInterpreters
can make use of it.
* Fixed the undef-warnings.t test accordingly.
0.0107 Sat Mar 17 15:01:00 IST 2007
* Moved a method call to a better place.
* Normalized the parameters to _time_single_test().
* Changed Direct hash value acecsses to accessors.
* Eliminated the $test argument to _canonfailed() and friends because
it's essentially $self->last_test_obj().
* Inlined some assignemnts in _dubious_return().
* Refactored the canonfailed functions.
* Corrected the license in lib/Test/Run/Obj/CanonFailedObj.pm
* Added more doucmentation to StrapsTotalObj and TestObj.
0.0106 Fri Mar 16 15:29:14 IST 2007
* Removed the %fields_map variables that were not used.
* Placed Test::Run::Base::Struct in its own .pm file.
* Placed the structs objects in their own .pm files.

* Extracted some methods.
* Refactored the maximal numbers/length handling.
* Added the List::Util to the dependencies.

* In the test script analysis phase - eliminated passing objects from
one method to another by making them instance slots.
0.0105 Mon Mar 12 23:46:34 IST 2007
* Converted from TAPx::Parser 0.3x to TAP::Parser 0.51, including various
changes to the tests and code to get over several regressions.
0.0104 Fri Feb 23 14:25:29 IST 2007
* Added an empty PL_FILES key to the Makefile.PL to please old
ExtUtils::MakeMaker's that try to invoke "Build.PL Build".
* Fixed the skip to skip 7 tests instead of 8 - it broke the build
in perl-5.6.2.
0.0103 Fri Feb 16 23:09:24 IST 2007
* Made part of the Straps code clearer.
* Extracted out the _init_strap method. This will be used by future
plugins.
* Fixed a bug where the modified Test_Interperter was used to query the
Perl paths.
* Fixed a bug with the percent being possibly undefined in output.
Added a regression test.
0.0102 Wed Nov 15 22:18:10 IST 2006
* Fixed the $VERSION variable of Test::Run::Obj to be a non-developer
release.
* Bumped the version number.
0.0101 Wed Nov 1 21:43:36 IST 2006
* Fixed the error indicator in the call to
_handle_test_file_closing_error() - $! instead of $1.
* Added more POD for web resources of the module.
* Added an example for integrating Test::Run into an EU::MM and
Test::Manifest setup.
* Updated the TODO.
* First non-Developer release!
0.0100_11 Fri Oct 6 18:28:07 IST 2006
* Updated the documentation to Test::Run.

0.0100_10 Thu Oct 5 12:19:09 IST 2006
* Changed ($self,%args) = @_ into ($self,$args) = @_ in the calling
conventions of many functions.
* Changed the interface of all the classes to this convention.
* Extracted many methods and other refactorings.
* Replaced Test::Run::Point and friends with TAPx::Parser
* Added a Build.PL file (with enabled Test::Run::Builder, to test
using Test::Run).
* Changed most exception throwing to either throwing an object, (if
a test fails or so) or Carp::confess (in case the programmer does something
wrong) for better debugability.
* A lot of refactoring of Test::Run::Straps.
* Added several tests for the output of tests' outcomes.
* Moved all the ->output()'s outputs to a separate plugin
(Test::Run::Plugin::CmdLine::Output), and moved the rest of the core
functionality to Test::Run::Core.
* Converted the strap handlers to be methods of Test::Run::Core, and
the callback to be a closure that calls its method.
0.0100_09 Sat May 13 11:56:41 IDT 2006
* Extracted the _get_fail_test_scripts_string() and
_get_fail_tests_good_percent_string() methods out of
_get_fail_other_exception_text() methods for easy overriding, and
implementing the error line customization plugins.
0.0100_08 Sat Apr 8 18:39:28 IDT 2006
* A refactoring of _handle_runtests_error(), which would allow an
easier coding of Plugin::ColorSummary.
* Added Scalar::Util to the Makefile.PL's "PREREQ_PM" and removed a
redundant statement.
0.0100_07 Mon Mar 13 19:08:21 IST 2006
* Changed "die $mystring"'s to "die $obj_ref"'s.
* Removed many global variables and use of %ENV variables. Using
accessors instead now.
* Added several tests including some for regression bugs that
were resolved.
* Added output.t to the MANIFEST.
* Added a README.
0.0100_06 Tue Nov 29 22:40:08 IST 2005
* Fixed the bug where "All tests successful." was displayed as
"All tests successful0.". Added an appropriate test.
* Eliminated the unnecessary warning on the Pod::Usage in the
Makefile.PL of Test::Run. Now it just doesn't install prove.
* Moved two test scripts that are depenedent on prove (or exit on its
non-installation), to a temporary location to be restored when
Test::Run::CmdLine is in better shape.
* Some refactorings.
- Added the Test::Run::Obj::Error module for throwing errors. Moved
one FAILED report to it, and change Run::Obj to be compatible with
some refactoring in the way.
* Added a TODO File.
* Fix a problem with a missing comma in the output of Test::Run when
there are skipped subtests.
0.0100_05 Sat Nov 09 21:00:00 IST 2005
* Renamed to Test::Run
0.0100_04 Sat Nov 05 23:53:00 IST 2005
* Lots of cleanups to the code - including some internal interface changes.
- Method extractions, refactorings.
- Created a base class for structs - i.e: objects that are meant
to mostly contain only specific fields.
- Converted several hashes to such structs and am using their
accessors instead of their vanilla hash elements.
* Removed the dependency on Test::Harness. Now the module is standalone.
0.0100_03 Tue Nov 01 14:57:27 IST 2005
* Fixed a documentation problem with the test_files passed as an argument
to runtests.
* Added a test to test against the presence of the per-test-file
statistics report. (implemented using formats for the time being.)
* Eliminated the use of formats in the fail_other report(). Made a lot
of refactoring up to the point.
0.0100_02 Mon Oct 31 00:37:26 IST 2005
* Changed the string Test::Harness to Test::Shlomif::Harness in
Test::Shlomif::Harness::Straps.

2.53_02 Thu Aug 25 21:37:01 CDT 2005
[FIXES]
* File order in prove is now sorted within the directory. It's not
the sorting that's important as much as the deterministic results.
Thanks to Adam Kennedy and Casey West for pointing this out,
independently of each other, with 12 hours of the other.
[INTERNALS]
* Fix calls to podusage() to not use the DATA typeglob. Thanks sungo.
2.53_01 Sun Jul 10 10:45:27 CDT 2005
[FIXES]
* If we go over 100,000 tests, it used to print out a warning for
every test over 100,000. Now, we stop after the first. Thanks to
Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni.
2.52 Sun Jun 26 23:05:19 CDT 2005
No changes
2.51_02
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* The Test::Harness timer is now off by default. Set HARNESS_TIMER
true if you want it. Added --timer flag to prove.
2.50_01
[FIXES]
* Call CORE::time() to figure out if we should print when we're
printing once per second. Otherwise, we're using Time::HiRes'
version of it. Thanks, Nicholas Clark.
2.50 Tue Jun 21 14:32:12 CDT 2005
[FIXES]
* Added some includes in t/strap-analyze.t to make Cygwin happy.
2.49_02 Tue Jun 21 09:54:44 CDT 2005
[FIXES]
* Added some includes in t/test_harness.t to make Cygwin happy.
2.49_01 Fri Jun 10 15:37:31 CDT 2005
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Now shows elapsed time in 1000ths of a second if Time::HiRes
is available.
[FIXES]
* Test::Harness::Iterator didn't have a 1; at the end. Thanks to
Steve Peters for finding it.
2.48 Fri Apr 22 22:41:46 CDT 2005
Released after weeks of non-complaint.
2.47_03 Wed Mar 2 16:52:55 CST 2005
[THINGS THAT MIGHT BREAK YOUR CODE]
* Test::Harness now requires Perl 5.005_03 or above.
[FIXES]
* Fixed incorrect "confused by tests in wrong order" error in 2.47_02.
2.47_02 Tue Mar 1 23:15:47 CST 2005
[THINGS THAT MIGHT BREAK YOUR CODE]
* Test directives for skip tests used to be anything that matches
/^skip/i, like the word "skipped", but now it must match
/^skip\s+/i.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* T::H now sets environment variable HARNESS_VERSION, in case a test
program wants to know what version of T::H it's running under.
2.47_01 Mon Feb 21 01:14:13 CST 2005
[FIXES]
* Fixed a problem submitted by Craig Berry:
Several of the Test::Harness tests now fail on VMS with the
following warning:
Can't find string terminator "]" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.
The problem is that when a command is piped to the shell and that
command has a newline character embedded in it, the part after
the newline is invisible to the shell. The patch below corrects
that by escaping the newline so it is not subject to variable
interpolation until it gets to the child's Perl one-liner.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Test::Harness::Straps now has diagnostic gathering without changing
how tests are run. It also adds these messages by default.
Note that the new method, _is_diagnostic(), is for internal
use only. It may change soon. Thanks to chromatic.
[DOCUMENTATION]
* Expanded Test::Harness::TAP.pod, and added examples.
* Fixed a crucial documentation typo in Test::Harness::Straps.
2.46 Thu Jan 20 11:50:59 CST 2005
Released.
2.45_02 Fri Dec 31 14:57:33 CST 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Turns off buffering on both STDERR and STDOUT, so that the two
output handles don't get out of sync with each other. Thanks to
David Wheeler.
* No longer requires, or supports, the HARNESS_OK_SLOW environment
variable. Test counts are only updated once per second, which
used to require having HARNESS_OK_SLOW set.
2.45_01 Fri Dec 17 22:39:17 CST 2004
[THINGS THAT MIGHT BREAK YOUR CODE]
* Test::Harness now requires Perl 5.004_05.
* We no longer try to print a stack if a coredump is detected.
[FIXES]
* Reverted Test::Harness::Iterator::next()'s use of readline, since
it fails under Perl 5.5.4.
* We no longer try to print a stack if a coredump is detected.
This means that the external problems we've had with wait.ph
now disappear. This resolves a number of problems that various
Linux distros have, and closes a couple of RT tickets like #2729
and #7716.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Added Test::Harness->strap() method to access the internal strap.
[DOCUMENTATION]
* Obfuscated the rt.cpan.org email address. The damage is already
done, but at least we'll have it hidden going forward.
2.44 Tue Nov 30 18:38:17 CST 2004
[INTERNALS]
* De-anonymized the callbacks and handlers in Test::Harness, mostly
so I can profile better.
* Checks _is_header() only if _is_line() fails first. No point
in checking every line of the input for something that can only
occur once.
* Inline the _detailize() function, which was getting called once
per line of input. Reduced execution time about 5-7%.
* Removed unnecessary temporary variables in Test::Harness::Straps
and in Test::Harness::Iterator.
2.43_02 Thu Nov 25 00:20:36 CST 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Added more debug output if $Test::Harness::Debug is on.
[FIXES]
* Test::Harness now removes default paths from the paths that it
sets in PERL5LIB. This fixes RT #5649. Thanks, Schwern.
[THINGS THAT MIGHT BREAK YOUR CODE]
* Test::Harness::Straps' constructor no longer will work as an
object method. You can't say $strap->new any more, but that's
OK because you never really wanted to anyway.
2.43_01
[FIXES]
* Added workaround for local $ENV{} bug on Cygwin to
t/prove-switches.t. See the following RT tickets for details.
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=6452
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=30952
2.42 Wed Apr 28 22:13:11 CDT 2004
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* prove -v now sets TEST_VERBOSE in case your tests rely on them.
* prove globs the command line, since Win32's shell doesn't.
[FIXES]
* Cross-platform test fixes on t/prove-globbing.t
2.40 Tue Dec 30 20:38:59 CST 2003
[FIXES]
* Test::Harness::Straps should now properly quote on VMS.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* prove now takes a -l option to add lib/ to @INC. Now when you're
building a module, you don't have to do a make before you run
the prove. Thanks to David Wheeler for the idea.
[INTERNALS]
* Internal functions corestatus() and canonfailed() prepended with
underscores, to indicate such.
* Gratuitous text-only changes in Test::Harness::Iterator.
* All tests now do their use_ok() in a BEGIN block. Some of the
use_ok() calls were too much of a hassle to put into a BEGIN block,
so I changed them to regular use calls.
2.38 Mon Nov 24 22:36:18 CST 2003
Released. See changes below.
2.37_03 Tue Nov 18 23:51:38 CST 2003
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* prove -V now shows the Perl version being used.
* Now there's a HARNESS_DEBUG flag that shows diagnostics as the
harness runs the tests. This is different from HARNESS_VERBOSE,
which shows test output, but not information about the harness
itself.
* Added _command_line() to the Strap API.
[FIXES]
* Bad interaction with Module::Build: The strap was only checking
$ENV{HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES} for definedness, but not emptiness.
It now also strips any leading or trailing whitesapce from the
switches.
* Test::Harness and prove only quote those parms that actually need
to be quoted: Have some whitespace and aren't already quoted.
2.36 Fri Nov 14 09:24:44 CST 2003
[FIXES]
* t/prove-includes.t properly ignores PROVE_SWITCHES that you may
already have set.
2.35_02 Thu Nov 13 09:57:36 CST 2003
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* prove's --blib now works just like the blib pragma.
2.35_01 Wed Nov 12 23:08:45 CST 2003
[FIXES]
* Fixed taint-handling and path preservation under MacOS. Thanks to
Schwern for the patch and the tests.
* Preserves case of -t or -T in the shebang line of the test.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Added -t to prove analogous to Perl's -t. Removed the --taint
switch.
* prove can take default options from the PROVE_SWITCHES variable.
* Added HARNESS_PERL to allow you to specify the Perl interpreter
to run the tests as.
* prove's --perl switch sets the HARNESS_PERL on the fly for you.
* Quotes the switches and filename in the subprogram. This helps
with filenames with spaces that are subject to shell mangling.
2.34 Sat Nov 8 22:09:15 CST 2003
[FIXES]
* Allowed prove to run on Perl versions < 5.6.0.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Command-line switches to prove may now be stacked.
* Added check for proper Pod::Usage version.
* "make clean" does a better job of cleaning up after itself.
2.32 Fri Nov 7 09:41:21 CST 2003
Test::Harness now includes a powerful development tool to help
programmers work with automated tests. The prove utility runs
test files against the harness, like a "make test", but with many
advantages:
* prove is designed as a development tool
Perl users typically run the test harness through a makefile via
"make test". That's fine for module distributions, but it's
suboptimal for a test/code/debug development cycle.
* prove is granular
prove lets your run against only the files you want to check.
Running "prove t/live/ t/master.t" checks every *.t in t/live, plus
t/master.t.
* prove has an easy verbose mode
To get full test program output from "make test", you must set
"HARNESS_VERBOSE" in the environment. prove has a "-v" option.
* prove can run under taint mode
prove's "-T" runs your tests under "perl -T".
* prove can shuffle tests
You can use prove's "--shuffle" option to try to excite problems
that don't show up when tests are run in the same order every time.
* Not everything is a module
More and more users are using Perl's testing tools outside the
context of a module distribution, and may not even use a makefile at
all.
Prove requires Pod::Usage, which is standard after Perl 5.004.
I'm very excited about prove, and hope that developers will begin
adopting it to their coding cycles. I welcome your comments at
andy@petdance.com.
There are also some minor bug fixes in Test::Harness itself, listed
below in the 2.31_* notes.
2.31_05 Thu Nov 6 14:56:22 CST 2003
[FIXES]
- If a MacPerl script had a shebang with -T, the -T wouldn't get
passed as a switch.
- Removed the -T on three *.t files, which didn't need them, and
which were causing problems.
- Conditionally installs bin/prove, depending on whether Pod::Usage
is available, which prove needs.
- Removed old leftover code from Makefile.PL.
2.31_04 Mon Nov 3 23:36:06 CST 2003
Minor tweaks here and there, almost ready to release.
2.31_03 Mon Nov 3 08:50:36 CST 2003
[FEATURES]
- prove is almost feature-complete. Removed the handling of
--exclude for excluding certain tests. It may go back in the
future.
- prove -d is now debug. Dry is prove -D.
2.31_02 Fri Oct 31 23:46:03 CST 2003
[FEATURES]
- Added many more switches to prove: -d for dry run, and -b for
blib.
[FIXES]
- T:H:Straps now recognizes MSWin32 in $^0.
- RT#3811: Could do regex matching on garbage in _is_test().
Fixed by Yves Orton
- RT#3827: Strips backslashes from and normalizes @INC entries
for Win32. Fixed by Yves Orton.
[INTERNALS]
- Added $self->{_is_macos} to the T:H:Strap object.
- t/test-harness.t sorts its test results, rather than relying on
internal key order.
2.31_01
[FEATURES]
- Added "prove" script to run a test or set of tests through the
harness. Thanks to Curtis Poe for the foundation.
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Fixed POD problem in Test::Harness::Assert
2.30 Thu Aug 14 20:04:00 CDT 2003
No functional changes in this version. It's only to make some doc
tweaks, and bump up the version number in T:H:Straps.
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Changed Schwern to Andy as the maintainer.
- Incorporated the TODO file into Harness.pm proper.
- Cleaned up formatting in Test::Harness::Straps.
2.29 Wed Jul 17 14:08:00 CDT 2003
- Released as 2.29.
2.28_91 Sun Jul 13 00:10:00 CDT 2003
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Added support for HARNESS_OK_SLOW. This will make a significant
speedup for slower connections.
- Folded in some changes from bleadperl that spiff up the
failure reports.
[INTERNALS]
- Added some isa_ok() checks to the tests.
- All Test::Harness* modules are used by use_ok()
- Fixed the prototype for the canonfailed() function, not that
it matters since it's never called without parens.
2.28_90 Sat Jul 05 20:21:00 CDT 2003
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Now, when you run a test harnessed, the numbers don't fly by one
at a time, one update per second. This significantly speeds
up the run time for running thousands of tests. *COUGH*
Regexp::Common *COUGH*
2.28 Thu Apr 24 14:39:00 CDT 2003
- No functional changes.
2.27_05 Mon Apr 21 15:55:00 CDT 2003
- No functional changes.
- Fixed circular depency in the test suite. Thanks, Rob Brown.
2.27_04 Sat Apr 12 21:42:00 CDT 2003
- Added test for $Test::Harness::Switches patch below.
2.27_03 Thu Apr 03 10:47:00 CDT 2003
- Fixed straps not respecting $Test::Harness::Switches. Thanks
to Miyagawa for the patch.
- Added t/pod.t to test POD validity.
2.27_02 Mon Mar 24 13:17:00 CDT 2003
2.27_01 Sun Mar 23 19:46:00 CDT 2003
- Handed over to Andy Lester for further maintenance.
- Fixed when the path to perl contains spaces on Windows
* Stas Bekman noticed that tests with no output at all were
interpreted as passing
- MacPerl test tweak for busted exit codes (bleadperl 17345)
- Abigail and Nick Clark both hit the 100000 "huge test that will
suck up all your memory" limit with legit tests. Made the check
smarter to allow large, planned tests to work.
- Partial fix of stats display when a test fails only because there's
too many tests.
- Made wait.ph and WCOREDUMP anti-vommit protection more robust in
cases where wait.ph loads but WCOREDUMP() pukes when run.
- Added a LICENSE.
- Ilya noticed the per test skip reason was accumlating between tests.
2.26 Wed Jun 19 16:58:02 EDT 2002
- Workaround for MacPerl's lack of a working putenv. It will never
see the PERL5LIB environment variable (perl@16942).
2.25 Sun Jun 16 03:00:33 EDT 2002
- $Strap is now a global to allow Test::Harness::Straps
experimentation.
- Little spelling nit in a diagnostic.
- Chris Richmond noted that the runtests() docs were wrong. It will
die, not return false, when any tests fail. This is silly, but
historically necessary for 'make test'. Docs corrected.
- MacPerl test fixes from Pudge. (mutation of bleadperl@16989)
- Undef warning introduced in 2.24 on skipped tests with no reasons
fixed.
* Test::Harness now depends on File::Spec
2.24 Wed May 29 19:02:18 EDT 2002
* Nikola Knezevic found a bug when tests are completely skipped
but no reason is given it was considered a failure.
* Made Test::Harness::Straps->analyze_file & Test::Harness a bit
more graceful when the test doesn't exist.
2.23 Wed May 22 12:59:47 EDT 2002
- reason for all skip wasn't being displayed. Broken in 2.20.
- Changed the wait status tests to conform with POSIX standards.
- Quieted some SYSTEM$ABORT noise leaking out from dying test tests
on VMS.
2.22 Fri May 17 19:01:35 EDT 2002
- Fixed parsing of #!/usr/bin/perl-current to not see a -t.
(RT #574)
- Fixed exit codes on MPE/iX
2.21 Mon May 6 00:43:22 EDT 2002
- removed a bunch of dead code left over after 2.20's gutting.
- The fix for the $^X "bug" added in 2.02 has been removed. It
caused more trouble than the old bug (I'd never seen a problem
before anyway)
- 2.20 broke $verbose
2.20 Sat May 4 22:31:20 EDT 2002
* An almost complete conversion of the Test::Harness test parsing
to use Test::Harness::Straps.
2.04 Tue Apr 30 00:54:49 EDT 2002
* Changing the output format of skips
- Taking into account VMS's special exit codes in the tests.
2.03 Thu Apr 25 01:01:34 EDT 2002
* $^X fix made safer.
- Noise from loading wait.ph to analyze core files supressed
- MJD found a situation where a test could run Test::Harness
out of memory. Protecting against that specific case.
- Made the 1..M docs a bit clearer.
- Fixed TODO tests so Test::Harness does not display a NOK for
them.
- Test::Harness::Straps->analyze_file() docs were not clear as to
its effects
2.02 Thu Mar 14 18:06:04 EST 2002
* Ken Williams fixed the long standing $^X bug.
* Added HARNESS_VERBOSE
* Fixed a bug where Test::Harness::Straps was considering a test that
is ok but died as passing.
- Added the exit and wait codes of the test to the
analyze_file() results.
2.01 Thu Dec 27 18:54:36 EST 2001
* Added 'passing' to the results to tell you if the test passed
* Added Test::Harness::Straps example (examples/mini_harness.plx)
* Header-at-end tests were being interpreted as failing sometimes
- The 'skip_all' results from analyze* was not being set
- analyze_fh() and analyze_file() now work more efficiently, reading
line-by-line instead of slurping as before.
2.00 Sun Dec 23 19:13:57 EST 2001
- Fixed a warning on VMS.
- Removed a little unnecessary code from analyze_file()
- Made sure filehandles are getting closed
- analyze() now considers "not \nok" to be a failure (VMSism)
but Test::Harness still doesn't.
2.00_05 Mon Dec 17 22:08:02 EST 2001
* Wasn't filtering @INC properly when a test is run with -T, caused the
command line to be too long on VMS. VMS should be 100% now.
- Little bug in the skip 'various reasons' logic.
- Minor POD nit in 5.004_04
- Little speling mistak
2.00_04 Sun Dec 16 00:33:32 EST 2001
* Major Test::Harness::Straps doc bug.
2.00_03 Sat Dec 15 23:52:17 EST 2001
* First release candidate
* 'summary' is now 'details'
* Test #1 is now element 0 on the details array. It works out better
that way.
* analyze_file() is more portable, but no longer taint clean
* analyze_file() properly preserves @INC and handles -T switches
- minor mistake in the test header line parsing
1.26 Mon Nov 12 15:44:01 EST 2001
* An excuse to upload a new version to CPAN to get Test::Harness
back on the index.
2.00_00 Sat Sep 29 00:12:03 EDT 2001
* Partial gutting of the internals
* Added Test::Harness::Straps
1.25 Tue Aug 7 08:51:09 EDT 2001
* Fixed a bug with tests failing if they're all skipped
reported by Stas Bekman.
- Fixed a very minor warning in 5.004_04
- Fixed displaying filenames not from @ARGV
- Merging with bleadperl
- minor fixes to the filename in the report
- '[no reason given]' skip reason
1.24 Tue Aug 7 08:51:09 EDT 2001
- Added internal information about number of todo tests
1.23 Tue Jul 31 15:06:47 EDT 2001
- Merged in Ilya's "various reasons" patch
* Fixed "not ok 23 - some name # TODO" style tests
1.22 Mon Jun 25 02:00:02 EDT 2001
* Fixed bug with failing tests using header at end.
- Documented how Test::Harness deals with garbage input
- Turned on test counter mismatch warning
1.21 Wed May 23 19:22:53 BST 2001
* No longer considered unstable. Merging back with the perl core.
- Fixed minor nit about the report summary
- Added docs on the meaning of the failure report
- Minor POD nits fixed mirroring perl change 9176
- TODO and SEE ALSO expanded
1.20 Wed Mar 14 23:09:20 GMT 2001 by Michael G Schwern *UNSTABLE*
* Fixed and tested with 5.004!
- Added EXAMPLE docs
- Added TODO docs
- Now uneffected by -l, $\ or $,
1.19 Sat Mar 10 00:43:29 GMT 2001 by Michael G Schwern *UNSTABLE*
- More internal reworking
* Removed use of experimental /(?>...)/ feature for backwards compat
* Removed use of open(my $fh, $file) for backwards compatibility
* Removed use of Tie::StdHandle in tests for backwards compat
* Added dire warning that this is unstable.
- Added some tests from the old CPAN release
1.18 Mon Mar 5 17:35:11 GMT 2001 by Michael G Schwern
* Under new management!
* Test::Harness is now being concurrently shipped on CPAN as well
as in the core.
- Switched "our" for "use vars" and moved the minimum version back
to 5.004. This may be optimistic.
*** Missing version history to be extracted from Perl changes ***
1.07 Fri Feb 23 1996 by Andreas Koenig
- Gisle sent me a documentation patch that showed me, that the
unless(/^#/) is unnessessary. Applied the patch and deleted the block
checking for "comment" lines. -- All lines are comment lines that do
not match /^1\.\.([0-9]+)/ or /^(not\s+)?ok\b/.
- Ilyaz request to print "ok (empty test case)" whenever we say 1..0
implemented.
- Harness now doesn't abort anymore if we received confused test output,
just warns instead.
1.05 Wed Jan 31 1996 by Andreas Koenig
- More updates on docu and introduced the liberality that the script
output may omit the test numbers.
1.03 Mon January 28 1996 by Andreas Koenig
- Added the statistics for subtests. Updated the documentation.
1.02 by Andreas Koenig
- This version reports a list of the tests that failed accompanied by
some trivial statistics. The older (unnumbered) version stopped
processing after the first failed test.
- Additionally it reports the exit status if there is one.
