+ * Test::Builder now has a create() method which allows you to create
+ a brand spanking new Test::Builder object.
+ * require_ok() was not working for single letter module names.
+ * is_deeply() and eq_* now work with circular scalar references
+ (Thanks Fergal)
+ * Use of eq_* now officially discouraged.
+ - Removed eq_* from the SYNOPSIS.
+ - is_deeply(undef, $not_undef); now works. [rt.cpan.org 9441]
+ - is_deeply() was mistakenly interpeting the same reference used twice
+ in a data structure as being circular causing failures.
+ [rt.cpan.org 11623]
+ - Loading Test::Builder but not using it would interfere with the
+ exit code if the code exited. [rt.cpan.org 12310]
+ - is_deeply() diagnostics now disambiguate between stringified references
+ and references. [rt.cpan.org 8865]
+ - Files opened by the output methods are now autoflushed.
+ - todo() now honors $Level when looking for $TODO.
+
+0.54 Wed Dec 15 04:18:43 EST 2004
+ * $how_many is optional for skip() and todo_skip(). Thanks to
+ Devel::Cover for pointing this out.
+ - Removed a user defined function called err() in the tests to placate
+ users of older versions of the dor patch before err() was weakend.
+ [rt.cpan.org 8734]
+
+0.53_01 Sat Dec 11 19:02:18 EST 2004
+ - current_test() can now be set backward.
+ - *output() methods now handle tied handles and *FOO{IO} properly.
+ - maybe_regex() now handles undef gracefully.
+ - maybe_regex() now handles 'm,foo,' style regexes.
+ - sort_bug.t wasn't checking for threads properly. Would fail on
+ 5.6 that had ithreads compiled in. [rt.cpan.org 8765]
+
+0.53 Mon Nov 29 04:43:24 EST 2004
+ - Apparently its possible to have Module::Signature installed without
+ it being functional. Fixed the signature test to account for this.
+ (not a real bug)
+
+0.52 Sun Nov 28 21:41:03 EST 2004
+ - plan() now better checks that the given plan is valid.
+ [rt.cpan.org 2597]
+
+0.51_02 Sat Nov 27 01:25:25 EST 2004
+ * is_deeply() and all the eq_* functions now handle circular data
+ structures. [rt.cpan.org 7289]
+ * require_ok() now handles filepaths in addition to modules.
+ - Clarifying Test::More's position on overloaded objects
+ - Fixed a bug introduced in 0.51_01 causing is_deeply() to pierce
+ overloaded objects.
+ - Mentioning rt.cpan.org for reporting bugs.
+
+0.51_01 Fri Nov 26 02:59:30 EST 2004
+ - plan() was accidentally exporting functions [rt.cpan.org 8385]
+ * diag @msgs would insert # between arguments. [rt.cpan.org 8392]
+ * eq_set() could cause problems under threads due to a weird sort bug
+ [rt.cpan.org 6782]
+ * undef no longer equals '' in is_deeply() [rt.cpan.org 6837]
+ * is_deeply() would sometimes compare references as strings.
+ [rt.cpan.org 7031]
+ - eq_array() and eq_hash() could hold onto references if they failed
+ keeping them in memory and preventing DESTROY. [rt.cpan.org 7032]
+ * is_deeply() could confuse [] with a non-existing value
+ [rt.cpan.org 7030]
+ - is_deeply() diagnostics a little off when scalar refs were inside
+ an array or hash ref [rt.cpan.org 7033]
+ - Thanks to Fergal Daly for ferretting out all these long standing
+ is_deeply and eq_* bugs.
+
+0.51 Tue Nov 23 04:51:12 EST 2004
+ - Fixed bug in fail_one.t on Windows (not a real bug).
+ - TODO reasons as overloaded objects now won't blow up under threads.
+ [Autrijus Tang]
+ - skip() in 0.50 tickled yet another bug in threads::shared. Hacked
+ around it.
+
+0.50 Sat Nov 20 00:28:44 EST 2004
+ - Fixed bug in fail-more test on Windows (not a real bug).
+ [rt.cpan.org 8022]
+ - Change from CVS to SVK. Hopefully this is the last time I move
+ version control systems.
+ - Again removing File::Spec dependency (came back in 0.48_02)
+ - Change from Aegis back to CVS
+
+0.49 Thu Oct 14 21:58:50 EDT 2004
+ - t/harness_active.t would fail for frivolous reasons with older
+ MakeMakers (test bug) [thanks Bill Moseley for noticing]
+
+0.48_02 Mon Jul 19 02:07:23 EDT 2004
+ * Overloaded objects as names now won't blow up under threads
+ [rt.cpan.org 4218 and 4232]
+ * Overloaded objects which stringify to undef used as test names
+ now won't cause internal uninit warnings. [rt.cpan.org 4232]
+ * Failure diagnostics now come out on their own line when run in
+ Test::Harness.
+ - eq_set() sometimes wasn't giving the right results if nested refs
+ were involved [rt.cpan.org 3747]
+ - isnt() giving wrong diagnostics and warning if given any undefs.
+ * Give unlike() the right prototype [rt.cpan.org 4944]
+ - Change from CVS to Aegis
+ - is_deeply() will now do some basic argument checks to guard against
+ accidentally passing in a whole array instead of its reference.
+ - Mentioning Test::Differences, Test::Deep and Bundle::Test.
+ - Removed dependency on File::Spec.
+ - Fixing the grammar of diagnostic outputs when only a single test
+ is run or failed (ie. "Looks like you failed 1 tests").
+ [Darren Chamberlain]
+
+0.48_01 Mon Nov 11 02:36:43 EST 2002
+ - Mention Test::Class in Test::More's SEE ALSO
+ * use_ok() now DWIM for version checks
+ - More problems with ithreads fixed.

+ many problems when the T::H upgrade didn't work.
+ * Drew Taylor added a 'no_diag' option to Test::More to switch
+ off all diag() statements.
+ * Test::Builder/More no longer automatically loads threads.pm
+ when threads are enabled. The user must now do this manually.
+ * Alex Francis added reset() reset the state of Test::Builder in
+ persistent environments.
+ - David Hand noted that Test::Builder/More exit code behavior was
+ not documented. Only Test::Simple.
+
+0.47 Mon Aug 26 03:54:22 PDT 2002
+ * Tatsuhiko Miyagawa noticed Test::Builder was accidentally storing
+ objects passed into test functions causing problems with tests
+ relying on object destruction.
+ - Added example of calculating the number of tests to Test::Tutorial
+ - Peter Scott made the ending logic not fire on child processes when
+ forking.
+ * Test::Builder is once again ithread safe.
+
+0.46 Sat Jul 20 19:57:40 EDT 2002
+ - Noted eq_set() isn't really a set comparision.
+ - Test fix, exit codes are broken on MacPerl (bleadperl@16868)
+ - Make Test::Simple install itself into the core for >= 5.8
+ - Small fixes to Test::Tutorial and skip examples
+ * Added TB->has_plan() from Adrian Howard
+ - Clarified the meaning of 'actual_ok' from TB->details
+ * Added TB->details() from chromatic
+ - Neil Watkiss fixed a pre-5.8 test glitch with threads.t
+ * If the test died before a plan, it would exit with 0 [ID 20020716.013]
+
+0.45 Wed Jun 19 18:41:12 EDT 2002

+ (from chromatic)
+ - chromatic provided a fix so can_ok() honors can() overrides.
+ - Nick Ing-Simmons suggested todo_skip() be a bit clearer about
+ the skipping part.
+ - Making plan() vomit if it gets something it doesn't understand.
+ - Tatsuhiko Miyagawa fixed use_ok() with pragmata on older perls.

+ - Adrian Howard added TB->maybe_regex()
+ - Adding Mark Fowler's suggestion to make diag() return
+ false.
+ - TB->current_test() still not working when no tests were run via
+ TB itself. Fixed by Dave Rolsky.
+
+0.42 Wed Mar 6 15:00:24 EST 2002
+ - Setting Test::Builder->current_test() now works (see what happens
+ when you forget to test things?)
+ - The change in is()'s undef/'' handling in 0.34 was an API change,
+ but I forgot to declare it as such.
+ - The apostrophilic jihad attacks! Philip Newtons patch for
+ grammar mistakes in the doc's.
+
+0.41 Mon Dec 17 22:45:20 EST 2001

+ output came out in the wrong order when piped.
