26 * This is a stable release for 5.10.1. It does not include
27 the subtest() work in 0.89_01.

29
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
3e887aae 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
45 [bleadperl c76230386fc5e6fba9fdbeab473abbf4f4adcbe3]

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.

87
88
82d700dc 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
73039790 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
bdff39c7 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
00881caa 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
4d845874 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
00881caa 245 mistakes in CPAN module test suites. Rolling the fix back to give the
246 authors a bit of time to fix their tests.
4d845874 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
00881caa 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]
4d845874 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
0753bcb5 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
c00d8759 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
f9e5c490 3150.65 Fri Nov 10 10:26:51 CST 2006
316
004caa16 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
b7f9bbeb 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.
004caa16 338 * Added Test::Builder->carp() and croak()
b7f9bbeb 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
1be77ff7 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
68938d83 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
845d7e37 3690.62 Sat Oct 8 01:25:03 PDT 2005
68938d83 370 * Absorbed Test::Builder::Tester. The last release broke it because its
845d7e37 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
b1ddf169 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.
425
5143c659 4260.60 Tue May 3 14:20:34 PDT 2005
427
4280.59_01 Tue Apr 26 21:51:12 PDT 2005
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
0257f296 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.
