Revision history for Perl extension Test::Harness
+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.
- 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
+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
+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.
- 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
+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
