300.89_01  Tue Jun 23 15:13:16 EDT 2009
31    New Features
32    * subtest() allows you to run more tests in their own plan.
33      (Thanks Ovid!)
34    * Test::Builder->is_passing() will let you check if the test is
35      currently passing.
36
37    Docs
38    * Finally added a note about the "Wide character in print" warning and
39      how to work around it.
40
41    Test Fixes
42    * Small fixes for integration with the Perl core
43      [bleadperl eaa0815147e13cd4ab5b3d6ca8f26544a9f0c3b4]
44    * exit code tests could be effected by errno when PERLIO=stdio

520.87_03  Sun May 24 13:41:40 PDT 2009
53    New Features
54    * isa_ok() now works on classes. (Peter Scott)
55
56
570.87_02  Sat Apr 11 12:54:14 PDT 2009
58    Test Fixes
59    * Some filesystems don't like it when you open a file for writing multiple
60      times.  Fixes t/Builder/reset.t. [rt.cpan.org 17298]
61    * Check how an operating system is going to map exit codes.  Some OS'
62      will map them... sometimes.  [rt.cpan.org 42148]
63    * Fix Test::Builder::NoOutput on 5.6.2.
64
65
660.87_01  Sun Mar 29 09:56:52 BST 2009
67    New Features
68    * done_testing() allows you to declare that you have finished running tests,
69      and how many you ran.  It is a safer no_plan and effectively replaces it.
70    * output() now supports scalar references.
71
72    Feature Changes
73    * You can now run a test without first declaring a plan.  This allows
74      done_testing() to work.
75    * You can now call current_test() without first declaring a plan.
76
77    Bug Fixes
78    * skip_all() with no reason would output "1..0" which is invalid TAP.  It will
79      now always include the SKIP directive.
80
81    Other
82    * Repository moved to github.

88
890.85_01  Thu Oct 23 18:57:38 PDT 2008
90    New Features
91    * cmp_ok() now displays the error if the comparison throws one.
92      For example, broken overloaded objects.
93
94    Bug Fixes
95    * cmp_ok() no longer stringifies or numifies its arguments before comparing.
96      This makes cmp_ok() properly test overloaded ops.
97      [rt.cpan.org 24186] [code.google.com 16]
98    * diag() properly escapes blank lines.
99
100    Feature Changes
101    * cmp_ok() now reports warnings and errors as coming from inside cmp_ok,
102      as well as reporting the caller's file and line.  This let's the user
103      know where cmp_ok() was called from while reminding them that it is
104      being run in a different context.
105
106    Other
107    * Dependency on ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.27 only on Windows otherwise the
108      nested tests won't run.
109
110
1110.84  Wed Oct 15 09:06:12 EDT 2008
112    Other
113    * 0.82 accidentally shipped with experimental Mouse dependency.
114
115
1160.82  Tue Oct 14 23:06:56 EDT 2008
117    Bug Fixes
118    - 0.81_01 broke $TODO such that $TODO = '' was considered todo.
119
120
1210.81_02  Tue Sep  9 04:35:40 PDT 2008
122    New Features
123    * Test::Builder->reset_outputs() to reset all the output methods back to
124      their defaults.
125
126    Bug Fixes
127    - Fixed the file and line number reported by like when it gets a bad
128      regex.
129
130    Features Changed
131    - Now preserves the tests' exit code if it exits abnormally, rather than
132      setting it to 255.
133    - Changed the "Looks like your test died" message to
134      "Looks like your test exited with $exit_code"
135    - no_plan now only warns if given an argument.  There were a lot of people
136      doing that, and it's a sensible mistake.  [test-more.googlecode.com 13]
137
138
1390.81_01  Sat Sep  6 15:13:50 PDT 2008
140    New Features
141    * Adam Kennedy bribed me to add new_ok().  The price was one DEFCON license key.
142      [rt.cpan.org 8891]
143    * TODO tests can now start and end with 'todo_start' and 'todo_end'
144      Test::Builder methods. [rt.cpan.org 38018]
145    * Added Test::Builder->in_todo() for a safe way to check if a test is inside a
146      TODO block.  This allows TODO tests with no reason.
147    * Added note() and explain() to both Test::More and Test::Builder.
148      [rt.cpan.org 14764] [test-more.googlecode.com 3]
149
150    Features Changed
151    * Changed the message for extra tests run to show the number of tests run rather than
152      the number extra to avoid the user having to do mental math.
153      [rt.cpan.org 7022]    
154
155    Bug fixes
156    - using a relative path to perl broke tests              [rt.cpan.org 34050]
157    - use_ok() broke $SIG{__DIE__} in the used module        [rt.cpan.org 34065]
158    - diagnostics for isnt() were confusing on failure       [rt.cpan.org 33642]
159    - warnings when MakeMaker's version contained _          [rt.cpan.org 33626]
160    - add explicit test that non-integer plans die correctly [rt.cpan.org 28836]
161      (Thanks to Hans Dieter Pearcey [confound] for fixing the above)
162    - die if no_plan is given an argument                    [rt.cpan.org 27429]
163
164
1650.80  Sun Apr  6 17:25:01 CEST 2008
166    Test fixes
167    - Completely disable the utf8 test.  It was causing perl to panic on some OS's.
168
169
1700.79_01  Wed Feb 27 03:04:54 PST 2008
171    Bug fixes
172    - Let's try the IO layer copying again, this time with the test
173      fixed for 5.10.
174
175
1760.78  Wed Feb 27 01:59:09 PST 2008
177    Bug fixes
178    * Whoops, the version of Test::Builder::Tester got moved backwards.
179
180
1810.77  Wed Feb 27 01:55:55 PST 2008
182    Bug fixes
183    - "use Test::Builder::Module" no longer sets exported_to() or does
184      any other importing.
185    - Fix the $TODO finding code so it can find $TODO without the benefit
186      of exported_to(), which is often wrong.
187    - Turn off the filehandle locale stuff for the moment, there's a 
188      problem on 5.10.  We'll try it again next release.
189      
190    Doc improvements
191    - Improve the Test::Builder SYNOPSIS to use Test::Builder::Module
192      rather than write it's own import().
193
194
1950.76_02  Sun Feb 24 13:12:55 PST 2008
196    Bug fixes
197    * The default test output filehandles will NOT use utf8.
198      They will now copy the IO layers from STDOUT and STDERR.
199      This means if :utf8 is on then it will honor it and not
200      warn about wide characters.
201
202
2030.76_01  Sat Feb 23 20:44:32 PST 2008
204    Bug fixes
205    * Test::Builder no longer uses a __DIE__ handler.  This resolves a number
206      of problems with exit codes being swallowed or other module's handlers
207      being interfered with.  [rt.cpan.org 25294]
208    - Allow maybe_regex() to detect blessed regexes.  [bleadperl @32880]
209    - The default test output filehandles will now use utf8.
210      [rt.cpan.org 21091]
211
212    Test fixes
213    - Remove the signature test.  Adds no security and just generates
214      failures.
215
216
2170.75  Sat Feb 23 19:03:38 PST 2008
218    Incompatibilities
219    * The minimum version is now 5.6.0.
220
221    Bug fixes
222    - Turns out require_ok() had the same bug as use_ok() in a BEGIN block.
223    - ok() was not honoring exported_to() when looking for $TODO as it
224      should be.
225    
226    Test fixes
227    * is_deeply_with_threads.t will not run unless AUTHOR_TESTING is set.
228      This is because it tickles intermittent threading bugs in many perls
229      and causes a lot of bug reports about which I can do nothing.
230    
231    Misc
232    - Ran through perlcritic and did some cleaning.
233
2340.74  Thu Nov 29 15:39:57 PST 2007
235    Misc
236    - Add abstract and author to the meta information.
237
2380.73_01  Mon Oct 15 20:35:15 EDT 2007
239    Bug fixes
240    * Put the use_ok() fix from 0.71 back.
241
2420.72  Wed Sep 19 20:08:07 PDT 2007
243    Bug unfixes
244    * The BEGIN { use_ok } fix for [rt.cpan.org 28345] revealed a small pile of 
245      mistakes in CPAN module test suites.  Rolling the fix back to give the
246      authors a bit of time to fix their tests.
247
2480.71  Thu Sep 13 20:42:36 PDT 2007
249    Bug fixes
250    - Fixed a problem with BEGIN { use_ok } silently failing when there's no
251      plan set.  [rt.cpan.org 28345]  Thanks Adriano Ferreira and Yitzchak.
252    - Fixed an obscure problem with is_deeply() and overloading ==
253      [rt.cpan.org 20768].  Thanks Sisyphus.
254
255    Test fixes
256    - Removed dependency on Text::Soundex [rt.cpan.org 25022]
257    - Fixed a 5.5.x failure in fail-more.t
258    * Got rid of the annoying sort_bug.t test that revealed problems with some
259      threaded perls.  It was testing the deprecated eq_* functions and not
260      worth the bother.  Now it tests is_deeply().  [rt.cpan.org 17791]
261
262    Doc fixes
263    - Minor POD mistake in Test::Builder [rt.cpan.org 28869]
264    * Test::FAQ has been updated with some more answers.
265
266    Install fixes
267    - Fixed the "LICENSE is not a known MakeMaker parameter name" warning
268      on older MakeMakers for real this time.
269
2700.70  Thu Mar 15 15:53:05 PDT 2007
271    Bug Fixes
272    * The change to is_fh() in 0.68 broke the case where a reference to
273      a tied filehandle is used for perl 5.6 and back.  This made the tests
274      puke their guts out.
275
2760.69  Wed Mar 14 06:43:35 PDT 2007
277    Test fixes
278    - Minor filename compatibility fix to t/fail-more.t [rt.cpan.org 25428]
279
2800.68  Tue Mar 13 17:27:26 PDT 2007
281    Bug fixes
282    * If your code has a $SIG{__DIE__} handler in some cases functions like
283      use_ok(), require_ok(), can_ok() and isa_ok() could trigger that
284      handler. [rt.cpan.org 23509]
285    - Minor improvement to TB's filehandle detection in the case of overridden
286      isa(). [rt.cpan.org 20890]
287    - Will now install as a core module in 5.6.2 which ships with Test::More.
288      [rt.cpan.org 25163]
289
290    New Features
291    - Test::Builder->is_fh() provides a way to determine if a thing
292      can be used as a filehandle.
293
294    Documentation improvements
295    - Improved the docs for $Test::Builder::Level showing the encouraged
296      use (increment, don't set)
297    - Documented the return value of Test::Builder's test methods
298    - Split out TB's method documentation to differenciate between test
299      methods (ok, is_eq...), methods useful in testing (skip, BAILOUT...)
300      and methods useful for building your own tests (maybe_regex...).
301
302    Test fixes
303    - We required too old a version of Test::Pod::Coverage.  Need 1.08 and not
304      1.00. [rt.cpan.org 25351]
305
3060.67  Mon Jan 22 13:27:40 PST 2007
307    Test fixes
308    - t/pod_coverage.t would fail if Test::Pod::Coverage between 1.07 and
309      1.00 were installed as it depended on all_modules being exported.
310      [rt.cpan.org 24483]
311
3120.66  Sun Dec  3 15:25:45 PST 2006
313    - Restore 5.4.5 compatibility (unobe@cpan.org) [rt.cpan.org 20513]
314
3150.65  Fri Nov 10 10:26:51 CST 2006
316
3170.64_03  Sun Nov  5 13:09:55 EST 2006
318    - Tests will no longer warn when run against an alpha version of
319      Test::Harness [rt.cpan.org #20501]
320    - Now testing our POD and POD coverage.
321    - Added a LICENSE field.
322    - Removed warning from the docs about mixing numbered and unnumbered
323      tests.  There's nothing wrong with that. [rt.cpan.org 21358]
324    - Change doc examples to talk about $got and $expected rather than
325      $this and $that to correspond better to the diagnostic output
326      [rt.cpan.org 2655]
327
3280.64_02  Sat Sep  9 12:16:56 EDT 2006
329    - Last release broke Perls earlier than 5.8.
330
3310.64_01  Mon Sep  4 04:40:42 EDT 2006
332    - Small improvement to the docs to avoid user confusion over
333      "use Test::More tests => $num_tests" (Thanks Eric Wilhelm)
334    - Minor fix for a test failure in is_deeply_fail for some Windows
335      users.  Not a real bug.  [rt.cpan.org 21310]
336    - _print_diag() accidentally leaked into the public documentation.
337      It is a private method.
338    * Added Test::Builder->carp() and croak()
339    * Made most of the error messages report in the caller's context.
340      [rt.cpan.org #20639]
341    * Made the failure diagnostic message file and line reporting portion
342      match Perl's for easier integration with Perl aware editors.
343      (so its "at $file line $line_num." now)
344      [rt.cpan.org #20639]
345    * 5.8.0 threads are no longer supported.  There's too many bugs.
346
3470.64  Sun Jul 16 02:47:29 PDT 2006
348    * 0.63's change to test_fail() broke backwards compatibility.  They
349      have been removed for the time being.  test_pass() went with it.
350      This is [rt.cpan.org 11317] and [rt.cpan.org 11319].
351    - skip() will now warn if you get the args backwards.
352
3530.63  Sun Jul  9 02:36:36 PDT 2006
354    * Fixed can_ok() to gracefully handle no class name.
355      Submitted by "Pete Krawczyk" <perl@bsod.net>
356      Implemented by "Richard Foley" <richard.foley@rfi.net>
357      [rt.cpan.org 15654]
358    * Added test_pass() to Test::Builder::Tester rather than having to
359      call test_out("ok 1 - foo"). <chromatic@wgz.org> [rt.cpan.org 11317]
360    * test_fail() now accepts a test diagnostic rather than having to
361      call test_out() separately. <chromatic@wgz.org> [rt.cpan.org 11319]
362    - Changed Test::Builder::Tester docs to show best practice using
363      test_fail() and test_pass().
364    - isnt_num() doc example wrongly showed is_num(). <chromatic@wgz.org>
365    - Fixed a minor typo in the BAIL_OUT() docs. <Jeff Deifik>
366    - Removed the LICENSE field from the Makefile.PL as the release of
367      MakeMaker with that feature has been delayed.
368
3690.62  Sat Oct  8 01:25:03 PDT 2005
370    * Absorbed Test::Builder::Tester.  The last release broke it because its
371      screen scraping Test::More and the failure output changed.  By
372      distributing them together we ensure TBT won't break again.
373    * Test::Builder->BAILOUT() was missing.
374    - is_deeply() can now handle function and code refs in a very limited
375      way.  It simply looks to see if they have the same referent.
376      [rt.cpan.org 14746]
377
3780.61  Fri Sep 23 23:26:05 PDT 2005
379    - create.t was trying to read from a file before it had been closed
380      (and thus the changes may not have yet been written).
381    * is_deeply() would call stringification methods on non-object strings
382      which happened to be the name of a string overloaded class.
383      [rt.cpan.org 14675]
384
3850.60_02  Tue Aug  9 00:27:41 PDT 2005
386    * Added Test::Builder::Module.
387    - Changed Test::More and Test::Simple to use Test::Builder::Module
388    - Minor Win32 testing nit in fail-more.t
389    * Added no_diag() method to Test::Builder and changed Test::More's
390      no_diag internals to use that. [rt.cpan.org 8655]
391    * Deprecated no_diag() as an option to "use Test::More".  Call the
392      Test::Builder method instead.
393
3940.60_01  Sun Jul  3 18:11:58 PDT 2005
395    - Moved the docs around a little to better group all the testing
396      functions together. [rt.cpan.org 8388]
397    * Added a BAIL_OUT() function to Test::More [rt.cpan.org 8381]
398    - Changed Test::Builder->BAILOUT to BAIL_OUT to match other method's
399      naming conventions.  BAILOUT remains but is deprecated.
400    * Changed the standard failure diagnostics to include the test name.
401      [rt.cpan.org 12490]
402    - is_deeply() was broken for overloaded objects in the top level in
403      0.59_01.  [rt.cpan.org 13506]
404    - String overloaded objects without an 'eq' or '==' method are now
405      handled in cmp_ok() and is().
406    - cmp_ok() will now treat overloaded objects as numbers if the comparison
407      operator is numeric. [rt.cpan.org 13156]
408    - cmp_ok(), like() and unlike will now throw uninit warnings if their
409      arguments are undefined. [rt.cpan.org 13155]
410    - cmp_ok() will now throw warnings as if the comparison were run 
411      normally, for example cmp_ok(2, '==', 'foo') will warn about 'foo' 
412      not being numeric.  Previously all warnings in the comparison were
413      supressed. [rt.cpan.org 13155]
414    - Tests will now report *both* the number of tests failed and if the
415      wrong number of tests were run.  Previously if tests failed and the
416      wrong number were run it would only report the latter. 
417      [rt.cpan.org 13494]
418    - Missing or extra tests are not considered failures for the purposes
419      of calculating the exit code.  Should there be no failures but the
420      wrong number of tests the exit code will be 254.
421    - Avoiding an unbalanced sort in eq_set() [bugs.perl.org 36354]
422    - Documenting that eq_set() doesn't deal well with refs.
423    - Clarified how is_deeply() compares a bit.
424    * Once again working on 5.4.5.

429    * Test::Builder now has a create() method which allows you to create
430      a brand spanking new Test::Builder object.
431    * require_ok() was not working for single letter module names.
432    * is_deeply() and eq_* now work with circular scalar references
433      (Thanks Fergal)
434    * Use of eq_* now officially discouraged.
435    - Removed eq_* from the SYNOPSIS.
436    - is_deeply(undef, $not_undef); now works. [rt.cpan.org 9441]
437    - is_deeply() was mistakenly interpeting the same reference used twice
438      in a data structure as being circular causing failures.
439      [rt.cpan.org 11623]
440    - Loading Test::Builder but not using it would interfere with the
441      exit code if the code exited. [rt.cpan.org 12310]
442    - is_deeply() diagnostics now disambiguate between stringified references
443      and references. [rt.cpan.org 8865]
444    - Files opened by the output methods are now autoflushed.
445    - todo() now honors $Level when looking for $TODO.
446
4470.54  Wed Dec 15 04:18:43 EST 2004
448    * $how_many is optional for skip() and todo_skip().  Thanks to 
449      Devel::Cover for pointing this out.
450    - Removed a user defined function called err() in the tests to placate
451      users of older versions of the dor patch before err() was weakend.
452      [rt.cpan.org 8734]
453
4540.53_01  Sat Dec 11 19:02:18 EST 2004

458    - maybe_regex() now handles 'm,foo,' style regexes.
459    - sort_bug.t wasn't checking for threads properly.  Would fail on
460      5.6 that had ithreads compiled in. [rt.cpan.org 8765]
461
4620.53  Mon Nov 29 04:43:24 EST 2004
463    - Apparently its possible to have Module::Signature installed without
464      it being functional.  Fixed the signature test to account for this.
465      (not a real bug)
466
4670.52  Sun Nov 28 21:41:03 EST 2004
468    - plan() now better checks that the given plan is valid. 
469      [rt.cpan.org 2597]
470

472    * is_deeply() and all the eq_* functions now handle circular data
473      structures.  [rt.cpan.org 7289]
474    * require_ok() now handles filepaths in addition to modules.
475    - Clarifying Test::More's position on overloaded objects 
476    - Fixed a bug introduced in 0.51_01 causing is_deeply() to pierce
477      overloaded objects.
478    - Mentioning rt.cpan.org for reporting bugs.
479
4800.51_01  Fri Nov 26 02:59:30 EST 2004
481    - plan() was accidentally exporting functions [rt.cpan.org 8385]
482    * diag @msgs would insert # between arguments. [rt.cpan.org 8392]
483    * eq_set() could cause problems under threads due to a weird sort bug
484      [rt.cpan.org 6782]
485    * undef no longer equals '' in is_deeply() [rt.cpan.org 6837]
486    * is_deeply() would sometimes compare references as strings.
487      [rt.cpan.org 7031]
488    - eq_array() and eq_hash() could hold onto references if they failed
489      keeping them in memory and preventing DESTROY.  [rt.cpan.org 7032]
490    * is_deeply() could confuse [] with a non-existing value
491      [rt.cpan.org 7030]
492    - is_deeply() diagnostics a little off when scalar refs were inside
493      an array or hash ref [rt.cpan.org 7033]
494    - Thanks to Fergal Daly for ferretting out all these long standing 
495      is_deeply and eq_* bugs.
496
4970.51  Tue Nov 23 04:51:12 EST 2004
498    - Fixed bug in fail_one.t on Windows (not a real bug).
499    - TODO reasons as overloaded objects now won't blow up under threads.
500      [Autrijus Tang]
501    - skip() in 0.50 tickled yet another bug in threads::shared.  Hacked
502      around it.
503
5040.50  Sat Nov 20 00:28:44 EST 2004
505    - Fixed bug in fail-more test on Windows (not a real bug).
506      [rt.cpan.org 8022]

510    - Change from Aegis back to CVS
511
5120.49  Thu Oct 14 21:58:50 EDT 2004
513    - t/harness_active.t would fail for frivolous reasons with older
514      MakeMakers (test bug) [thanks Bill Moseley for noticing]
515
5160.48_02  Mon Jul 19 02:07:23 EDT 2004
517    * Overloaded objects as names now won't blow up under threads
518      [rt.cpan.org 4218 and 4232]
519    * Overloaded objects which stringify to undef used as test names
520      now won't cause internal uninit warnings. [rt.cpan.org 4232]
521    * Failure diagnostics now come out on their own line when run in 
522      Test::Harness.
523    - eq_set() sometimes wasn't giving the right results if nested refs 
524      were involved [rt.cpan.org 3747]
525    - isnt() giving wrong diagnostics and warning if given any undefs.
526    * Give unlike() the right prototype [rt.cpan.org 4944]
527    - Change from CVS to Aegis
528    - is_deeply() will now do some basic argument checks to guard against
529      accidentally passing in a whole array instead of its reference.

531    - Removed dependency on File::Spec.
532    - Fixing the grammar of diagnostic outputs when only a single test
533      is run or failed (ie. "Looks like you failed 1 tests").
534      [Darren Chamberlain]
535
5360.48_01  Mon Nov 11 02:36:43 EST 2002
537    - Mention Test::Class in Test::More's SEE ALSO
538    * use_ok() now DWIM for version checks
539    - More problems with ithreads fixed.
540    * Test::Harness upgrade no longer optional.  It was causing too
541      many problems when the T::H upgrade didn't work.

543      off all diag() statements.
544    * Test::Builder/More no longer automatically loads threads.pm
545      when threads are enabled.  The user must now do this manually.
546    * Alex Francis added reset() reset the state of Test::Builder in 
547      persistent environments.
548    - David Hand noted that Test::Builder/More exit code behavior was
549      not documented.  Only Test::Simple.
550
5510.47  Mon Aug 26 03:54:22 PDT 2002 
552    * Tatsuhiko Miyagawa noticed Test::Builder was accidentally storing 
553      objects passed into test functions causing problems with tests 
554      relying on object destruction.
555    - Added example of calculating the number of tests to Test::Tutorial
556    - Peter Scott made the ending logic not fire on child processes when
557      forking.
558    * Test::Builder is once again ithread safe.
559
5600.46  Sat Jul 20 19:57:40 EDT 2002
561    - Noted eq_set() isn't really a set comparision.

595
5960.42  Wed Mar  6 15:00:24 EST 2002
597    - Setting Test::Builder->current_test() now works (see what happens
598      when you forget to test things?)
599    - The change in is()'s undef/'' handling in 0.34 was an API change, 
600      but I forgot to declare it as such.

609    * isa_ok() now accepts unblessed references gracefully
610    - Nick Clark found a bug with like() and a regex with % in it.
611    - exit.t was hanging on 5.005_03 VMS perl.  Test now skipped.
612    - can_ok() would pass if no methods were given.  Now fails.
613    - isnt() diagnostic output format changed

615    * Added Test::More->builder
616    * Added cmp_ok()

6220.36  Thu Nov 29 14:07:39 EST 2001
623    - Matthias Urlichs found that intermixed prints to STDOUT and test 
624      output came out in the wrong order when piped.
625
6260.35  Tue Nov 27 19:57:03 EST 2001
627    - Little glitch in the test suite.  No actual bug.

658    * Added Test::Builder
659      (Thanks muchly to chromatic for getting this off the ground!)
660    * Diagnostics are back to using STDERR *unless* it's from a todo
661      test.  Those go to STDOUT.
662    - Fixed it so nothing is printed if a test is run with a -c flag.
663      Handy when a test is being deparsed with B::Deparse.
664

708    * Will no longer warn about testing undef values
709    - Escaping # in test names
710    - Ensuring that ok() returns true or false and not undef
711    - Minor doc typo in the example

760    - First working version released to CPAN
761
