10.62 Sat Oct 8 01:25:03 PDT 2005 2 * Aborbed Test::Builder::Tester. The last release broke it because its 3 screen scraping Test::More and the failure output changed. By 4 distributing them together we ensure TBT won't break again. 5 * Test::Builder->BAILOUT() was missing. 6 - is_deeply() can now handle function and code refs in a very limited 7 way. It simply looks to see if they have the same referent. 8 [rt.cpan.org 14746] 9 100.61 Fri Sep 23 23:26:05 PDT 2005 11 - create.t was trying to read from a file before it had been closed 12 (and thus the changes may not have yet been written). 13 * is_deeply() would call stringification methods on non-object strings 14 which happened to be the name of a string overloaded class. 15 [rt.cpan.org 14675] 16 170.60_02 Tue Aug 9 00:27:41 PDT 2005 18 * Added Test::Builder::Module. 19 - Changed Test::More and Test::Simple to use Test::Builder::Module 20 - Minor Win32 testing nit in fail-more.t 21 * Added no_diag() method to Test::Builder and changed Test::More's 22 no_diag internals to use that. [rt.cpan.org 8655] 23 * Deprecated no_diag() as an option to "use Test::More". Call the 24 Test::Builder method instead. 25 260.60_01 Sun Jul 3 18:11:58 PDT 2005 27 - Moved the docs around a little to better group all the testing 28 functions together. [rt.cpan.org 8388] 29 * Added a BAIL_OUT() function to Test::More [rt.cpan.org 8381] 30 - Changed Test::Builder->BAILOUT to BAIL_OUT to match other method's 31 naming conventions. BAILOUT remains but is deprecated. 32 * Changed the standard failure diagnostics to include the test name. 33 [rt.cpan.org 12490] 34 - is_deeply() was broken for overloaded objects in the top level in 35 0.59_01. [rt.cpan.org 13506] 36 - String overloaded objects without an 'eq' or '==' method are now 37 handled in cmp_ok() and is(). 38 - cmp_ok() will now treat overloaded objects as numbers if the comparison 39 operator is numeric. [rt.cpan.org 13156] 40 - cmp_ok(), like() and unlike will now throw uninit warnings if their 41 arguments are undefined. [rt.cpan.org 13155] 42 - cmp_ok() will now throw warnings as if the comparison were run 43 normally, for example cmp_ok(2, '==', 'foo') will warn about 'foo' 44 not being numeric. Previously all warnings in the comparison were 45 supressed. [rt.cpan.org 13155] 46 - Tests will now report *both* the number of tests failed and if the 47 wrong number of tests were run. Previously if tests failed and the 48 wrong number were run it would only report the latter. 49 [rt.cpan.org 13494] 50 - Missing or extra tests are not considered failures for the purposes 51 of calculating the exit code. Should there be no failures but the 52 wrong number of tests the exit code will be 254. 53 - Avoiding an unbalanced sort in eq_set() [bugs.perl.org 36354] 54 - Documenting that eq_set() doesn't deal well with refs. 55 - Clarified how is_deeply() compares a bit. 56 * Once again working on 5.4.5. 57 580.60 Tue May 3 14:20:34 PDT 2005 59 600.59_01 Tue Apr 26 21:51:12 PDT 2005 61 * Test::Builder now has a create() method which allows you to create 62 a brand spanking new Test::Builder object. 63 * require_ok() was not working for single letter module names. 64 * is_deeply() and eq_* now work with circular scalar references 65 (Thanks Fergal) 66 * Use of eq_* now officially discouraged. 67 - Removed eq_* from the SYNOPSIS. 68 - is_deeply(undef, $not_undef); now works. [rt.cpan.org 9441] 69 - is_deeply() was mistakenly interpeting the same reference used twice 70 in a data structure as being circular causing failures. 71 [rt.cpan.org 11623] 72 - Loading Test::Builder but not using it would interfere with the 73 exit code if the code exited. [rt.cpan.org 12310] 74 - is_deeply() diagnostics now disambiguate between stringified references 75 and references. [rt.cpan.org 8865] 76 - Files opened by the output methods are now autoflushed. 77 - todo() now honors $Level when looking for $TODO. 78 790.54 Wed Dec 15 04:18:43 EST 2004 80 * $how_many is optional for skip() and todo_skip(). Thanks to 81 Devel::Cover for pointing this out. 82 - Removed a user defined function called err() in the tests to placate 83 users of older versions of the dor patch before err() was weakend. 84 [rt.cpan.org 8734] 85 860.53_01 Sat Dec 11 19:02:18 EST 2004 87 - current_test() can now be set backward. 88 - *output() methods now handle tied handles and *FOO{IO} properly. 89 - maybe_regex() now handles undef gracefully. 90 - maybe_regex() now handles 'm,foo,' style regexes. 91 - sort_bug.t wasn't checking for threads properly. Would fail on 92 5.6 that had ithreads compiled in. [rt.cpan.org 8765] 93 940.53 Mon Nov 29 04:43:24 EST 2004 95 - Apparently its possible to have Module::Signature installed without 96 it being functional. Fixed the signature test to account for this. 97 (not a real bug) 98 990.52 Sun Nov 28 21:41:03 EST 2004 100 - plan() now better checks that the given plan is valid. 101 [rt.cpan.org 2597] 102 1030.51_02 Sat Nov 27 01:25:25 EST 2004 104 * is_deeply() and all the eq_* functions now handle circular data 105 structures. [rt.cpan.org 7289] 106 * require_ok() now handles filepaths in addition to modules. 107 - Clarifying Test::More's position on overloaded objects 108 - Fixed a bug introduced in 0.51_01 causing is_deeply() to pierce 109 overloaded objects. 110 - Mentioning rt.cpan.org for reporting bugs. 111 1120.51_01 Fri Nov 26 02:59:30 EST 2004 113 - plan() was accidentally exporting functions [rt.cpan.org 8385] 114 * diag @msgs would insert # between arguments. [rt.cpan.org 8392] 115 * eq_set() could cause problems under threads due to a weird sort bug 116 [rt.cpan.org 6782] 117 * undef no longer equals '' in is_deeply() [rt.cpan.org 6837] 118 * is_deeply() would sometimes compare references as strings. 119 [rt.cpan.org 7031] 120 - eq_array() and eq_hash() could hold onto references if they failed 121 keeping them in memory and preventing DESTROY. [rt.cpan.org 7032] 122 * is_deeply() could confuse [] with a non-existing value 123 [rt.cpan.org 7030] 124 - is_deeply() diagnostics a little off when scalar refs were inside 125 an array or hash ref [rt.cpan.org 7033] 126 - Thanks to Fergal Daly for ferretting out all these long standing 127 is_deeply and eq_* bugs. 128 1290.51 Tue Nov 23 04:51:12 EST 2004 130 - Fixed bug in fail_one.t on Windows (not a real bug). 131 - TODO reasons as overloaded objects now won't blow up under threads. 132 [Autrijus Tang] 133 - skip() in 0.50 tickled yet another bug in threads::shared. Hacked 134 around it. 135 1360.50 Sat Nov 20 00:28:44 EST 2004 137 - Fixed bug in fail-more test on Windows (not a real bug). 138 [rt.cpan.org 8022] 139 - Change from CVS to SVK.

[rt.cpan.org 4232] 153 * Failure diagnostics now come out on their own line when run in 154 Test::Harness. 155 - eq_set() sometimes wasn't giving the right results if nested refs 156 were involved [rt.cpan.org 3747] 157 - isnt() giving wrong diagnostics and warning if given any undefs. 158 * Give unlike() the right prototype [rt.cpan.org 4944] 159 - Change from CVS to Aegis 160 - is_deeply() will now do some basic argument checks to guard against 161 accidentally passing in a whole array instead of its reference. 162 - Mentioning Test::Differences, Test::Deep and Bundle::Test. 163 - Removed dependency on File::Spec. 164 - Fixing the grammar of diagnostic outputs when only a single test 165 is run or failed (ie.
