    • Test::Builder::Tester now sets $tb->todo_output to the output handle and not the error handle (to be in accordance with the default behaviour of Test::Builder and allow for testing TODO test behaviour).

    • Protect against subtests setting $Level (Nick Cleaton)
    • New Features
    • subtests without a 'plan' or 'no_plan' have an implicit 'done_testing()' added to them.
    • is_deeply() performance boost for large structures consisting of mostly non-refs (Nick Cleaton)

    • done_testing() allows you to declare that you have finished running tests, and how many you ran. It is a safer no_plan and effectively replaces it.
    • output() now supports scalar references.
    • Feature Changes
    • You can now run a test without first declaring a plan. This allows done_testing() to work.
    • You can now call current_test() without first declaring a plan.

    • Feature Changes
    • cmp_ok() now reports warnings and errors as coming from inside cmp_ok, as well as reporting the caller's file and line. This let's the user know where cmp_ok() was called from while reminding them that it is being run in a different context.

    • Added note() and explain() to both Test::More and Test::Builder. [rt.cpan.org 14764] [test-more.googlecode.com 3]

    • Whoops, the version of Test::Builder::Tester got moved backwards.
  • Test-Simple 0.77 2008-Feb-27 01:55-08:00 PST Bug fixes
    • "use Test::Builder::Module" no longer sets exported_to() or does any other importing.
    • Fix the $TODO finding code so it can find $TODO without the benefit of exported_to(), which is often wrong.
    • Turn off the filehandle locale stuff for the moment, there's a problem on 5.10. We'll try it again next release.
    • Doc improvements
    • Improve the Test::Builder SYNOPSIS to use Test::Builder::Module rather than write it's own import().
  • Test-Simple 0.76_02 2008-Feb-24 13:12-08:00 PST Bug fixes
    • The default test output filehandles will NOT use utf8. They will now copy the IO layers from STDOUT and STDERR. This means if :utf8 is on then it will honor it and not warn about wide characters.
  • Test-Simple 0.76_01 2008-Feb-23 20:44-08:00 PST Bug fixes
    • Test::Builder no longer uses a __DIE__ handler. This resolves a number of problems with exit codes being swallowed or other module's handlers being interfered with. [rt.cpan.org 25294]
    • Allow maybe_regex() to detect blessed regexes. [bleadperl @32880]
    • The default test output filehandles will now use utf8.
      • rt.cpan.org 21091

    • The minimum version is now 5.6.0.
    • Bug fixes

    • ok() was not honoring exported_to() when looking for $TODO as it should be.
    • Test fixes
    • is_deeply_with_threads.t will not run unless AUTHOR_TESTING is set. This is because it tickles intermittent threading bugs in many perls and causes a lot of bug reports about which I can do nothing.
    • Misc
    • Ran through perlcritic and did some cleaning.
  • Test-Simple 0.74 2007-Nov-29 15:39-08:00 PST Misc

  • Test-Simple 0.71 2007-Sep-13 20:42-08:00 PDT Bug fixes
    • Fixed a problem with BEGIN { use_ok } silently failing when there's no plan set. [rt.cpan.org 28345] Thanks Adriano Ferreira and Yitzchak.

    • Fixed a 5.5.x failure in fail-more.t
    • Got rid of the annoying sort_bug.t test that revealed problems with some threaded perls. It was testing the deprecated eq_* functions and not worth the bother. Now it tests is_deeply(). [rt.cpan.org 17791]
    • Doc fixes
    • Minor POD mistake in Test::Builder [rt.cpan.org 28869]
    • Test::FAQ has been updated with some more answers.

    • If your code has a $SIG{__DIE__} handler in some cases functions like use_ok(), require_ok(), can_ok() and isa_ok() could trigger that handler. [rt.cpan.org 23509]
    • Minor improvement to TB's filehandle detection in the case of overridden isa(). [rt.cpan.org 20890]
    • Will now install as a core module in 5.6.2 which ships with Test::More.
      • rt.cpan.org 25163
    • New Features
    • Test::Builder->is_fh() provides a way to determine if a thing can be used as a filehandle.
    • Documentation improvements
    • Improved the docs for $Test::Builder::Level showing the encouraged use (increment, don't set)
    • Documented the return value of Test::Builder's test methods
    • Split out TB's method documentation to differenciate between test methods (ok, is_eq...), methods useful in testing (skip, BAILOUT...) and methods useful for building your own tests (maybe_regex...).
    • Test fixes
    • We required too old a version of Test::Pod::Coverage. Need 1.08 and not 1.00. [rt.cpan.org 25351]
  • Test-Simple 0.67 2007-Jan-22 13:27-08:00 PST Test fixes

    • Now testing our POD and POD coverage.
    • Added a LICENSE field.
    • Removed warning from the docs about mixing numbered and unnumbered tests. There's nothing wrong with that. [rt.cpan.org 21358]

    • Minor fix for a test failure in is_deeply_fail for some Windows users. Not a real bug. [rt.cpan.org 21310]
    • _print_diag() accidentally leaked into the public documentation. It is a private method.
    • Added Test::Builder->carp() and croak()
    • Made most of the error messages report in the caller's context.
    • Made the failure diagnostic message file and line reporting portion match Perl's for easier integration with Perl aware editors. (so its "at $file line $line_num." now)
    • 5.8.0 threads are no longer supported. There's too many bugs.
  • Test-Simple 0.64 2006-Jul-16 02:47-08:00 PDT
    • 0.63's change to test_fail() broke backwards compatibility. They have been removed for the time being. test_pass() went with it. This is [rt.cpan.org 11317] and [rt.cpan.org 11319].

    • test_fail() now accepts a test diagnostic rather than having to call test_out() separately. <chromatic@wgz.org> [rt.cpan.org 11319]
    • Changed Test::Builder::Tester docs to show best practice using test_fail() and test_pass().
    • isnt_num() doc example wrongly showed is_num(). <chromatic@wgz.org>
    • Fixed a minor typo in the BAIL_OUT() docs. <Jeff Deifik>
    • Removed the LICENSE field from the Makefile.PL as the release of MakeMaker with that feature has been delayed.
  • Test-Simple 0.62 2005-Oct-8 01:25-08:00 PDT
    • Absorbed Test::Builder::Tester. The last release broke it because its screen scraping Test::More and the failure output changed. By distributing them together we ensure TBT won't break again.
    • Test::Builder->BAILOUT() was missing.
    • is_deeply() can now handle function and code refs in a very limited way. It simply looks to see if they have the same referent.
      • rt.cpan.org 14746
  • Test-Simple 0.61 2005-Sep-23 23:26-08:00 PDT
    • create.t was trying to read from a file before it had been closed (and thus the changes may not have yet been written).
    • is_deeply() would call stringification methods on non-object strings which happened to be the name of a string overloaded class.
      • rt.cpan.org 14675
  • Test-Simple 0.60_02 2005-Aug-9 00:27-08:00 PDT

    • Added no_diag() method to Test::Builder and changed Test::More's no_diag internals to use that. [rt.cpan.org 8655]
    • Deprecated no_diag() as an option to "use Test::More". Call the Test::Builder method instead.
  • Test-Simple 0.60_01 2005-Jul-3 18:11-08:00 PDT
    • Moved the docs around a little to better group all the testing functions together. [rt.cpan.org 8388]
    • Added a BAIL_OUT() function to Test::More [rt.cpan.org 8381]

    • cmp_ok(), like() and unlike will now throw uninit warnings if their arguments are undefined. [rt.cpan.org 13155]
    • cmp_ok() will now throw warnings as if the comparison were run normally, for example cmp_ok(2, '==', 'foo') will warn about 'foo' not being numeric. Previously all warnings in the comparison were suppressed. [rt.cpan.org 13155]
    • Tests will now report *both* the number of tests failed and if the wrong number of tests were run. Previously if tests failed and the wrong number were run it would only report the latter.
      • rt.cpan.org 13494
    • Missing or extra tests are not considered failures for the purposes of calculating the exit code. Should there be no failures but the wrong number of tests the exit code will be 254.
    • Avoiding an unbalanced sort in eq_set() [bugs.perl.org 36354]
    • Documenting that eq_set() doesn't deal well with refs.
    • Clarified how is_deeply() compares a bit.
    • Once again working on 5.4.5.

      • 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]
