43.14
5 - Created a proper (ha!) API for prove state results and tests.
6 - Added --count and --nocount options to prove to control X/Y display
7 while running tests.
8 - Added 'fresh' state option to run test scripts that have been
9 touched since the test run.
10 - fixed bug where PERL5OPT was not properly split
11 - fixed regex in _filtered_inc. Fixes #39248. Thanks Slaven.
12
f7c69158 133.13 2008-07-27
14 - fixed various closure related leaks
15 - made prove honour HARNESS_TIMER
16 - Applied patches supplied by Alex Vandiver
17 - add 'rules' switch to prove: allows parallel execution rules
18 to be specified on the command line.
19 - allow '**' (any path) wildcard in parallel rules
20 - fix bug report address
21 - make tprove_gtk example work again.
22
233.12 2008-06-22
24 - applied Steve Purkis' huge refactoring patch which adds
25 configurable factories for most of the major internal classes.
26 - applied David Wheeler's patch to allow exec to be a code
27 reference.
28 - made tests more robust in the presence of -MFoo in PERL5OPT.
29
303.11 2008-06-09
31 - applied Jim Keenan's patch that makes App::Prove::run return a
32 rather than exit (#33609)
33 - prove -r now recurses cwd rather than 't' by default (#33007)
34 - restored --ext switch to prove (#33848)
35 - added ignore_exit option to TAP::Parser and corresponding
36 interfaces to TAP::Harness and Test::Harness. Requested for
37 Parrot.
38 - Implemented rule based parallel scheduler.
39 - Moved filename -> display name mapping out of formatter. This
40 prevents the formatter's strip-extensions logic from stripping
41 extensions from supplied descriptions.
42 - Only strip extensions from test names if all tests have the
43 same extension. Previously we stripped extensions if all names
44 had /any/ extension making it impossible to distinguish tests
45 whose name differed only in the extension.
46 - Removed privacy test that made it impossible to subclass
47 TAP::Parser.
48 - Delayed initialisation of grammar making it easier to replace
49 the TAP::Parser stream after instantiation.
50 - Make it possible to supply import parameters to a replacement
51 harness with prove.
52 - Make it possible to replace either _grammar /or/ _stream
53 before reading from a TAP::Parser.
54
553.10 2008-02-26
56 - fix undefined value warnings with bleadperl.
57 - added pragma support.
58 - fault unknown TAP tokens under strict pragma.
59
603.09 2008-02-10
61 - support for HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES containing things like
62 '-e "system(shift)"'.
63 - set HARNESS_IS_VERBOSE during verbose testing.
64 - documentation fixes.
65
663.08 2008-02-08
67 - added support for 'out' option to
68 Test::Harness::execute_tests. See #32476. Thanks RENEEB.
69 - Fixed YAMLish handling of non-alphanumeric hash keys.
70 - Added --dry option to prove for 2.64 compatibility.
71
723.07 2008-01-13
53bc175b 73 - prove now supports HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES.
74 - restored TEST_VERBOSE to prove.
75
763.06 2008-01-01
69f36734 77 - Skip t/unicode.t if PERL_UNICODE set. Fixes #31731.
78 Thanks Lukas.
79 - App::Prove::State no longer complains about tests that
80 are deleted.
81 - --state=new and --state=old now consider the modification time
82 of test scripts.
53bc175b 83 - Made test suite core-compatible.
69f36734 84
b965d173 853.05 2007-12-09
86 - Skip unicode.t if Encode unavailable
87 - Support for .proverc files.
88 - Clarified prove documentation.
89
903.04 2007-12-02
91 - Fixed output leakage with really_quiet set.
92 - Progress reports for tests without plans now show
93 "143/?" instead of "143/0".
94 - Made TAP::Harness::runtests support aliases for test names.
95 - Made it possible to pass command line args to test programs
96 from prove, TAP::Harness, TAP::Parser.
97 - Added --state switch to prove.
98
993.03 2007-11-17
100 - Fixed some little bugs-waiting-to-happen inside
101 TAP::Parser::Grammar.
102 - Added parser_args callback to TAP::Harness.
103 - Made @INC propagation even more compatible with 2.64 so that
104 parrot still works *and* #30796 is fixed.
105
1063.02 2007-11-15
107 - Process I/O now unbuffered, uses sysread, plays better with
108 select. Fixes #30740.
109 - Made Test::Harness @INC propagation more compatible with 2.64.
110 Was breaking Parrot's test suite.
111 - Added HARNESS_OPTIONS (#30676)
112
1133.01 2007-11-12
114 - Fix for RHEL incpush.patch related failure.
115 - Output real time of test completion with --timer
116 - prove -b adds blib/auto to @INC
117 - made SKIP plan parsing even more liberal for pre-v13 TAP
118
1193.00 2007-11-06
120 - Non-dev release. No changes since 2.99_09.
121
1222.99_09 2007-11-05
123 - Implemented TODO-in-PLAN syntax for TAP version 12 and earlier.
124
1252.99_08 2007-11-04
126 - Tiny changes. New version pushed to get some smoke coverage.
127
1282.99_07 2007-11-01
129 - Fix for #21938: Unable to handle circular links
130 - Fix for #24926: prove -b and -l should use absolute paths
131 - Fixed prove switches. Big oops. How the hell did we miss that?
132 - Consolidated quiet, really_quiet, verbose into verbosity.
133 - Various VMS related fixes to tests
134
1352.99_06 2007-10-30
136 - Added skip_all method to TAP::Parser.
137 - Display reason for skipped tests.
138 - make test now self tests.
139
1402.99_05 2007-10-30
141 - Fix for occasional rogue -1 exit code on Windows.
142 - Fix for @INC handling under CPANPLUS.
143 - Added real time to prove --timer output
144 - Improved prove error message in case where 't' not found and
145 no tests named.
146
1472.99_04 2007-10-11
148 - Fixed bug where 'All tests successful' would not be printed if bonus
149 tests are seen.
150 - Fixed bug where 'Result: FAIL' would be printed at the end of a test
151 run if there were unexpectedly succeeding tests.
152 - Added -M, -P switches to allow arbitrary modules to be loaded
153 by prove. We haven't yet defined what they'll do once they
154 load but it's a start...
155 - Added testing under simulated non-forking platforms.
156
1572.99_03 2007-10-06
158 - Refactored all display specific code out of TAP::Harness.
159 - Relaxed strict parsing of skip plan for pre v13 TAP.
160 - Elapsed hi-res time is now displayed in integer milliseconds
161 instead of fractional seconds.
162 - prove stops running if any command-line switches are invalid.
163 - prove -v would try to print an undef.
164 - Added support for multiplexed and forked parallel tests. Use
165 prove -j 9 to run tests in parallel and prove -j 9 --fork to
166 fork. These features are experimental and currently
167 unavailable on Windows.
168 - Rationalized the management of the environment that we give to
169 test scripts (PERL5LIB, PERL5OPT, switches).
170 - Fixed handling of STDIN (we no longer close it) for test
171 scripts.
172 - Performance enhancements. Parser is now 30% - 40% faster.
173
1742.99_02 2007-09-07
175 - Ensure prove (and App::Prove) sort any recursively
176 discovered tests
177 - It is now possible to register multiple callback handlers for
178 a particular event.
179 - Added before_runtests, after_runtests callbacks to
180 TAP::Harness.
181 - Moved logic of prove program into App::Prove.
182 - Added simple machine readable summary.
183 - Performance improvement: The processing pipeline within
184 TAP::Parser is now a closure which speeds up access to the
185 various attribtes it needs.
186 - Performance improvement: Test count spinner now updates
187 exponentially less frequently as the count increases which
188 saves a lot of I/O on big tests.
189 - More improvements in test coverage from Leif.
190 - Fixes to TAP spooling - now captures YAML blocks correctly.
191 - Fix YAMLish handling of empty arrays, hashes.
192 - Renamed TAP::Harness::Compatible to Test::Harness,
193 runtests to prove.
194 - Fixes to @INC handling. We didn't always pass the correct path
195 to subprocesses.
196 - We now observe any switches in HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES.
197 - Changes to output formatting for greater compatibility with
198 Test::Harness 2.64.
199 - Added unicode test coverage and fixed a couple of
200 unicode issues.
201 - Additions to documentation.
202 - Added support for non-forking Perls. If forking isn't
203 available we fall back to open and disable stream merging.
204 - Added support for simulating non-forking Perls to improve our
205 test coverage.
206
207========================================================================
208Version numbers below this point relate to TAP::Parser - which was the
209name of this version of Test::Harness during its development.
210========================================================================
211
2120.54
213 - Optimized I/O for common case of 'runtests -l'
214 - Croak if supplied an empty (0 lines) Perl script.
215 - Made T::P::Result::YAML return literal input YAML correctly.
216 - Merged speed-ups from speedy branch.
217
2180.53 18 August 2007
219 - Fixed a few docs nits.
220 - Added -V (--version) switch to runtests. Suggested by markjugg on
221 Perlmonks.
222 - Fixed failing t/030-grammer.t under 5.9.5. Exact cause still
223 unknown; something to do with localisation of $1 et all I think.
224 - Fixed use of three arg open in t/compat/test-harness-compat; was
225 failing on 5.6.2.
226 - Fixed runtests --exec option. T::H wasn't passing the exec option
227 to T::P.
228 - Merged Leif Eriksen's coverage enhancing changes to
229 t/080-aggregator.t, t/030-grammar.t
230 - Made various changes so that we test cleanly on 5.0.5.
231 - Many more coverage enhancements by Leif.
232 - Applied Michael Peters' patch to add an EOF callback to
233 TAP::Parser.
234 - Added --reverse option to runtests to run tests in reverse order.
235 - Made runtests exit with non-zero status if the test run had
236 problems.
237 - Stopped TAP::Parser::Iterator::Process from trampling on STDIN.
238
2390.52 14 July 2007
240 - Incorporate Schwern's investigations into TAP versions.
241 Unversioned TAP is now TAP v12. The lowest explicit version number
242 that can be specified is 13.
243 - Renumbered tests to eliminate gaps.
244 - Killed execrc. The '--exec' switch to runtests handles all of this for
245 us.
246 - Refactored T::P::Iterator into
247 T::P::Iterator::(Array|Process|Stream) so that we have a
248 process specific iterator with which to experiment with
249 STDOUT/STDERR merging.
250 - Removed vestigial exit status handling from T::P::I::Stream.
251 - Removed unused pid interface from T::P::I::Process.
252 - Fixed infinite recursion in T::P::I::Stream and added regression
253 coverage for same.
254 - Added tests for T::P::I::Process.
255 - TAP::Harness now displays the first five TAP syntax errors and
256 explains how to pass the -p flag to runtests to see them all.
257 - Added merge option to TAP::Parser::Iterator::Process,
258 TAP::Parser::Source, TAP::Parser and TAP::Harness.
259 - Added --merge option to runtests to enable STDOUT/STDERR merging.
260 This behaviour used to be the default.
261 - Made T::P::I::Process use open3 for both merged and non-merged
262 streams so that it works on Windows.
263 - Implemented Eric Wilhelm's IO::Select based multiple stream
264 handler so that STDERR is piped to us even if stream merging is
265 turned off. This tends to reduce the temporal skew between the
266 two streams so that error messages appear closer to their
267 correct location.
268 - Altered the T::P::Grammar interface so that it gets a stream
269 rather than the next line from the stream in preparation for
270 making it handle YAML diagnostics.
271 - Implemented YAML syntax. Currently YAML may only follow a
272 test result. The first line of YAML is '---' and the last
273 line is '...'.
274 - Made grammar version-aware. Different grammars may now be selected
275 depending on the TAP version being parsed.
276 - Added formatter delegate mechanism for test results.
277 - Added prototype stream based YAML(ish) parser.
278 - Added more tests for T::P::YAMLish
279 - Altered T::P::Grammar to use T::P::YAMLish
280 - Removed T::P::YAML
281 - Added raw source capture to T::P::YAMLish
282 - Added support for double quoted hash keys
283 - Added TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer and renamed T::P::YAMLish as
284 T::P::YAMLish::Reader.
285 - Added extra TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer output options
286 - Inline YAML documents must now be indented by at least one space
287 - Fixed broken dependencies in bin/prove
288 - Make library paths absolute before running tests in case tests
289 chdir before loading modules.
290 - Added libs and switches handling to T::H::Compatible. This and the
291 previous change fix [24926]
292 - Added PERLLIB to libraries stripped in _default_inc [12030]
293 - Our version of prove now handles directories containing circular
294 links correctly [21938]
295 - Set TAP_VERSION env var in Parser [11595]
296 - Added setup, teardown hooks to T::P::I::Process to facilitate the
297 setup and cleanup of the test script's environment
298 - Any additional libs added to the command line are also added to
299 PERL5LIB for the duration of a test run so that any Perl children
300 of the test script inherit the same library paths.
301 - Fixed handling of single quoted hash keys in T::P::Y::Reader
302 - Made runtests return the TAP::Parser::Aggregator
303 - Fixed t/120-harness.t has failures if TAP::Harness::Color cannot
304 load optional modules [27125] - thanks DROLSKY
305 - Fixed parsing of \# in test description
3060.51 12 March 2007
307 - 'execrc' file now allows 'regex' matches for tests.
308 - rename 'TAPx' --> 'TAP'
309 - Reimplemented the parse logic of TAP::Parser as a state machine.
310 - Removed various ad-hoc state variables from TAP::Parser and moved
311 their logic into the state machine.
312 - Removed now-unused is_first / is_last methods from Iterator and
313 simplified remaining logic to suit.
314 - Removed now-redundant t/140-varsource.t.
315 - Implemented TAP version syntax.
316 - Tidied TAP::Harness::Compatible documentation
317 - Removed redundant modules below TAP::Harness::Compatible
318 - Removed unused compatibility tests
319
3200.50_07 5 March 2007
321 - Fixed bug where we erroneously checked the test number instead of number
322 of tests run to determine if we've run more tests than we planned.
323 - Add a --directives switch to 'runtests' which only shows test results
324 with directives (such as 'TODO' or 'SKIP').
325 - Removed some dead code from TAPx::Parser.
326 - Added color support for Windows using Win32::Console.
327 - Made Color::failure_output reset colors before printing
328 the trailing newline.
329 - Corrected some issues with the 'runtests' docs and removed some
330 performance notes which no longer seem accurate.
331 - Fixed bug whereby if tests without file extensions were included then
332 the spacing of the result leaders would be off.
333 - execrc file is now a YAML file.
334 - Removed white background on the test failures. It was too garish for
335 me. Just more proof that we need better ways of overriding color
336 support.
337 - Started work on TAPx::Harness::Compatible. Right now it's mainly just
338 a direct lift of Test::Harness to make sure the tests work.
339 - Commented out use Data::Dumper::Simple in T::Harness.pm - it's not
340 a core module.
341 - Added next_raw to TAPx::Parser::Iterator which skips any fixes for
342 quirky TAP that are implemented by next. Used to support
343 TAPx::Harness::Compatible::Iterator
344 - Applied our version number to all T::H::Compatible modules
345 - Removed T::H::C::Assert. It's documented as being private to
346 Test::Harness and we're not going to need it.
347 - Refactored runtests to call aggregate_tests to expose the
348 interface we need for the compatibility layer.
349 - Make it possible to pass an end time to summary so that it needn't
350 be called immediately after the tests complete.
351 - Moved callback handling into TAPx::Base and altered TAPx::Parser
352 to use it.
353 - Made TAPx::Harness into a subclass of TAPx::Base and implemented
354 made_parser callback.
355 - Moved the dispatch of callbacks out of run and into next so that
356 they're called when TAPx::Harness iterates through the results.
357 - Implemented PERL_TEST_HARNESS_DUMP_TAP which names a directory
358 into which the raw TAP of any tests run via TAPx::Harness will
359 be written.
360 - Rewrote the TAPx::Grammar->tokenize method to return a
361 TAPx::Parser::Result object. Code is much cleaner now.
362 - Moved the official grammar from TAPx::Parser to TAPx::Parser::Grammar,
363 provided a link and updated the grammar.
364 - Fixed bug where a properly escaped '# TODO' line in a test description
365 would still be reported as a TODO test.
366 - Added patches/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.31.patch - a patch against EUMM
367 that makes test_harness use TAPx::Harness instead of Test::Harness
368 if PERL_EUMM_USE_TAPX is true and TAPx::Harness is installed. In
369 other words cause 'make test' for EUMM based models to use
370 TAPx::Harness.
371 - Added support for timer option to TAPx::Harness which causes the
372 elapsed time for each test to be displayed.
373 - Setup tapx-dev@hexten.net mailing list.
374 - Fixed accumulating @$exec bug in TAPx::Harness.
375 - Made runtests pass '--exec' option as an array.
376 - (#24679) TAPx::Harness now reports failure for tests that die
377 after completing all subtests.
378 - Added in_todo attribute on TAPx::Parser which is true while the
379 most recently seen test was a TODO.
380 - (#24728) TAPx::Harness now supresses diagnostics from failed
381 TODOs. Not sure if the semantics of this are correct yet.
382
3830.50_06 18 January 2007
384 - Fixed doc typo in examples/README [rt.cpan.org #24409]
385 - Colored test output is now the default for 'runtests' unless
386 you're running under windows or -t STDOUT is false.
387 [rt.cpan.org #24310]
388 - Removed the .t extension from t/source_tests/*.t since those are
389 'test tests' which caused false negatives when running recursive
390 tests. [Adrian Howard]
391 - Somewhere along the way, the exit status started working again.
392 Go figure.
393 - Factored color output so that disabling it under Windows is
394 cleaner.
395 - Added explicit switch to :crlf layer after open3 under Windows.
396 open3 defaults to raw mode resulting in spurious \r characters input
397 parsed input.
398 - Made Iterator do an explicit wait for subprocess termination.
399 Needed to get process status correctly on Windows.
400 - Fixed bug which didn't allow t/010-regression.t to be run directly
401 via Perl unless you specified Perl's full path.
402 - Removed SIG{CHLD} handler (which we shouldn't need I think because
403 we explicitly waitpid) and made binmode ':crlf' conditional on
404 IS_WIN32. On Mac OS these two things combined to expose a problem
405 which meant that output from test scripts was sometimes lost.
406 - Made t/110-source.t use File::Spec->catfile to build path to
407 test script.
408 - Made Iterator::FH init is_first, is_last to 0 rather than undef
409 for consistency with array iterator.
410 - Added t/120-varsource.t to test is_first and is_last semantics
411 over files with small numbers of lines.
412 - Added check for valid callback keys.
413 - Added t/130-results.t for Result classes.
414
4150.50_05 15 January 2007
416 - Removed debugging code accidentally left in bin/runtests.
417 - Removed 'local $/ = ...' from the iterator. Hopefully that will fix the
418 line ending bug, but I don't know about the wstat problem.
419
4200.50_04 14 January 2007
421 - BACKWARDS IMCOMPATIBLE: Renamed all '::Results' classes to '::Result'
422 because they represent a single result.
423 - Fixed bug where piping would break verbose output.
424 - IPC::Open3::open3 now takes a @command list rather than a $command
425 string. This should make it work under Windows.
426 - Added 'stdout_sterr' sample test back to regression tests. IPC::Open3
427 appears to make it work.
428 - Bug fix: don't print 'All tests successful' if no tests are run.
429 - Refactored 'runtests' to make it a bit easier to follow.
430 - Bug fix: Junk and comments now allowed before a leading plan.
431 - HARNESS_ACTIVE and HARNESS_VERSION environment variables now set.
432 - Renamed 'problems' in TAPx::Parser and TAPx::Aggregator to
433 'has_problems'.
434
4350.50_03 08 January 2007
436
437 - Fixed bug where '-q' or '-Q' with colored tests weren't suppressing all
438 information.
439 - Fixed an annoying MANIFEST nit.
440 - Made '-h' for runtests now report help. Using a new harness requires
441 the full --harness switch.
442 - Added 'problems' method to TAPx::Parser and TAPx::Parser::Aggregator.
443 - Deprecatd 'todo_failed' in favor of 'todo_passed'
444 - Add -I switch to runtests.
445 - Fixed runtests doc nit (smylers)
446 - Removed TAPx::Parser::Builder.
447 - A few more POD nits taken care of.
448 - Completely removed all traces of C<--merge> as IPC::Open3 seems to be
449 working.
450 - Moved the tprove* examples to examples/bin in hopes of them no longer
451 showing up in CPAN's docs.
452 - Made the 'unexpectedly succeeded' message clearer (Adam Kennedy)
453
4540.50_02 06 January 2007
455 - Added some files I left out of the manifest (reported by Florian
456 Ragwitz).
457 - Added strict to Makefile.PL and changed @PROGRAM to @program (reported
458 Florian Ragwitz).
459
4600.50_01 06 January 2007
461 - Added a new example which shows to how test Perl, Ruby, and URLs all at
462 the same time using 'execrc' files.
463 - Fixed the diagnostic format mangling bug.
464 - We no longer override Test::Builder to merge streams. Instead, we go
465 ahead and use IPC::Open3. It remains to be seen whether or not this is
466 a good idea.
467 - Fixed vms nit: for failing tests, vms often has the 'not' on a line by
e4fc8a1e 468 itself.
b965d173 469 - Fixed bugs where unplanned tests were not reporting as a failure (test
470 number greater than tests planned).
471 - TAPx::Parser constructor can now take an 'exec' option to tell it what
472 to execute to create the stream (huge performance boost).
473 - Added TAPx::Parser::Source. This allows us to run tests in just about
474 any programming language.
475 - Renamed the filename() method to source() in TAPx::Parser::Source::Perl.
476 - We now cache the @INC values found for TAPx::Parser::Source::Perl.
477 - Added two test harnesses, TAPx::Harness and TAPx::Harness::Color.
478 - Removed references to manual stream construction from TAPx::Parser
479 documentation. Users should not (usually) need to worry about streams.
480 - Added bin/runtests utility. This is very similar to 'prove'.
481 - Renumbered tests to make it easier to add new ones.
482 - Corrected some minor documentation nits.
483 - Makefile.PL is no longer auto-generated (it's built by hand).
484 - Fixed regression test bug where driving tests through the harness I'm
485 testing caused things to break.
486 - BUG: exit() values are now broken. I don't know how to capture them
487 with IPC::Open3. However, since no one appears to be using them, this
488 might not be an issue.
489
4900.41 12 December 2006
491 - Fixed (?) 10-regression.t test which failed on Windows. Removed the
492 segfault test as it has no meaning on Windows. Reported by PSINNOTT
493 <link@redbrick.dcu.ie> and fix recommended by Schwern based on his
494 Test::Harness experience.

496
4970.40 05 December 2006
498 - Removed TAPx::Parser::Streamed and folded its functionality into
499 TAPx::Parser.
500 - Fixed bug where sometimes is_good_plan() would return a false positive
501 (exposed by refactoring).
502 - A number of tiny performance enhancements.
503
5040.33 22 September 2006
505 - OK, I'm getting ticked off by some of the comments on Perl-QA so I
506 rushed this out the door and broke it :( I'm backing out one test and
507 slowing down a bit.
508
5090.32 22 September 2006
510 - Applied patch from Schwern which fixed the Builder package name (TAPx::
511 instead of TAPX:: -- stupid case-insensitive package names!).
512 [rt.cpan.org #21605]
513
5140.31 21 September 2006
515 - Fixed bug where Carp::croak without parens could cause Perl to fail to
516 compile on some platforms. [Andreas J. Koenig]
517 - Eliminated the non-portable redirect of STDERR to STDOUT (2>&1) and
518 fixed the synchronization issue. This involves overridding
519 Test::Builder::failure_output() in a very sneaky way. I may have to
520 back this out.
521 - Renamed boolean methods to begin with 'is_'. The methods they replace
522 are documented, deprecated, and will not be removed prior to version
523 1.00.
524
5250.30 17 September 2006
526 - Fixed bug where no output would still claim to have a good plan.
527 - Fixed bug where no output would cause parser to die.
528 - Fixed bug where failing to specify a plan would be two parse errors
529 instead of one.
530 - Fixed bug where a correct plan count in an incorrect place would still
531 report as a 'good_plan'.
532 - Fixed bug where comments could accidently be misparsed as directives.
533 - Eliminated testing of internal structure of result objects. The other
534 tests cover this.
535 - Allow hash marks in descriptions. This was causing a problem because
536 many test suites (Regexp::Common and Perl core) allowed them to exist.
537 - Added support for SKIP directives in plans.
538 - Did some work simplifying &TAPx::Parser::_initialize. It's not great,
539 but it's better than it was.
540 - TODO tests now always pass, regardless of actual_passed status.
541 - Removed 'use warnings' and now use -w
542 - 'switches' may now be passed to the TAPx::Parser constructor.
543 - Added 'exit' status.
544 - Added 'wait' status.
545 - Eliminated 'use base'. This is part of the plan to make TAPx::Parser
546 compatible with older versions of Perl.
547 - Added 'source' key to the TAPx::Parser constructor. Making new parsers
548 is now much easier.
549 - Renamed iterator first() and last() methods to is_first() and is_last().
550 Credit: Aristotle.
551 - Planned tests != tests run is now a parse error. It was really stupid
552 of me not to do that in the first place.
553 - Added massive regression test suite in t/100-regression.t
554 - Updated the grammar to show that comments are allowed.
555 - Comments are now permitted after an ending plan.
556
5570.22 13 September 2006
558 - Removed buggy support for multi-line chunks from streams. If your
559 streams or iterators return anything but single lines, this is a bug.
560 - Fixed bug whereby blank lines in TAP would confuse the parser. Reported
561 by Torsten Schoenfeld.
562 - Added first() and last() methods to the iterator.
563 - TAPx::Parser::Source::Perl now has a 'switches' method which allows
564 switches to be passed to the perl executable running the test file.
565 This allows tprove to accept a '-l' argument to force lib/ to be
566 included in Perl's @INC.
567
5680.21 8 September 2006
569 - Included experimental GTK interface written by Torsten Schoenfeld.
570 - Fixed bad docs in examples/tprove_color
571 - Applied patch from Shlomi Fish fixing bug where runs from one stream
572 could leak into another when bailing out. [rt.cpan.org #21379]
573 - Fixed some typos in the POD.
574 - Corrected the grammar to allow for a plan of "1..0" (infinite stream).
575 - Started to add proper acknowledgements.
576
5770.20 2 September 2006
578 - Fixed bug reported by GEOFFR. When no tap output was found, an
579 "Unitialized value" warning occurred. [rt.cpan.org #21205]
580 - Updated tprove to now report a test failure when no tap output found.
581 - Removed examples/tprove_color2 as tprove_color now works.
582 - Vastly improved callback system and updated the docs for how to use
356733da 583 them.
b965d173 584 - Changed TAPx::Parser::Source::Perl to use Symbol::gensym() instead of a
585 hard-to-guess filehandle name.
586
5870.12 30 July 2006
588 - Added a test colorization script
589 - Callback support added.
590 - Added TAPx::Parser::Source::Perl.
591 - Added TAPx::Parser::Aggregator.
592 - Added version numbers to all classes.
593 - Added 'todo_failed' test result and parser.
594 - 00-load.t now loads all classes instead of having individual tests load
595 their supporting classes.
596 - Changed $parser->results to $parser->next
597
5980.11 25 July, 2006
599 - Renamed is_skip and is_todo to has_skip and has_todo. Much less
600 confusing since a result responding true to those also responded true to
601 is_test.
602 - Added simplistic bin/tprove to run tests. Much harder than I thought
603 and much code stolen from Test::Harness.
604 - Modified stolen iterator to fix a bug with stream handling when extra
605 newlines were encountered.
606 - Added TAPx::Parser::Iterator (stolen from Test::Harness::Iterator)
607 - Normalized internal structure of result objects.
608 - All tokens now have a 'type' key. This greatly simplifies internals.
609 - Copied much result POD info into the main docs.
610 - Corrected the bug report URLs.
611 - Minor updates to the grammar listed in the POD.
612
6130.10 23 July, 2006
614 - Oh my Larry, we gots docs!
615 - _parse and _tap are now private methods.
616 - Stream support has been added.
617 - Moved the grammar into its own class.
618 - Pulled remaining parser functionality out of lexer.
619 - Added type() method to Results().
620 - Parse errors no longer croak(). Instead, they are available through the
621 parse_errors() method.
622 - Added good_plan() method.
623 - tests_planned != tests_run is no longer a parse error.
624 - Renamed test_count() to tests_run().
625 - Renamed num_tests() to tests_planned().
626
6270.03 17 July, 2006
628 - 'Bail out!' is now handled.
629 - The parser is now data driven, thus skipping a huge if/else chain
630 - We now track all TODOs, SKIPs, passes and fails by test number.
631 - Removed all non-core modules.
632 - Store original line for each TAP line. Available through
633 $result->raw().
634 - Renamed test is_ok() to passed() and added actual_passed(). The former
635 method takes into account TODO tests and the latter returns the actual
636 pass/fail status.
637 - Fixed a bug where SKIP tests would not be identified correctly.
638
6390.02 8 July, 2006
640 - Moved some lexer responsibility to the parser. This will allow us to
641 eventually parse streams.
642 - Properly track passed/failed tests, even accounting for TODO.
643 - Added support for comments and unknown lines.
644 - Allow explicit and inferred test numbers to be mixed.
645 - Allow escaped hashes in the test description.
646 - Renamed to TAPx::Parser. Will probably rename it again.
647
6480.01 Date/time
649 - First version, unreleased on an unsuspecting world.
650 - No, you'll never know when ...
