CHANGES

1.00

when inheriting httpd.conf on some platforms SERVER_CONFIG_FILE is an absolute path, so try to use that if found. [Haroon Rafique <haroon.rafique@utoronto.ca>]

new Apache::Test functions: have_min_apache_version - to require a minimal Apache version. have_apache_version - to require a specific Apache version. [Stas]

Apache::TestUtil API change: write_perl_script => t_write_perl_script write_shell_script => t_write_shell_script chown => t_chown All 3 functions are now optionally exported [Geoffrey Young].

Provide a new request macro _BODY_ASSERT to replace _BODY in cases where the client part of the test directly prints to the output, in order to avoid skipped tests instead of reporting the failure of the server side. Use it in automatically generated tests. [Stas]

httpd (1.3 && 2) / winFU have problems when the first path's segment includes ':' (security precaution which breaks the rfc) so we can't use /TestFoo::bar as path_info in Apache::Tests. Adjusting all tests to use /TestFoo__bar. [Stas]

change Apache::TestConfig::filter_args to accept arguments which aren't only key/value pairs, but also tokens like 'FOO=1' [Stas]

In autogenerated t/TEST, make sure not to include 'use Apache2' for the mod_perl 2.0 build itself [Stas]

avoid starting httpd with 'Group root' when running the test suite under root [Stas]

add support for 'make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 "TEST_FILES=foo bar"' [Stas]

Apache::Test now can run 'make test' under 'root', without permission problems (e.g. when files need to be written), it'll chown all the files under t/ to the user chosen to run the server with, before running the tests and will restore the permissions at the end. [Stas]

don't inherit loading of the mod_perl object from the system-wide config, since Apache::TestRunPerl already configures it [Stas]

Support two new shortcuts for skip functionality: - have_threads: checks whether both Apache and Perl support threads - under_construction: to print a consistent/clear skip reason [Stas]

Support <NoAutoConfig> </NoAutoConfig> blocks in .pm files, so we can have a full manual control over generated config sections. These sections are fully parsed and variables are substituted, including vhosts. [Stas]

Implement a more robust autogenerated client .t test in Apache::TestConfigPerl. Before this fix if the server side returned 500, the test would get skipped, not good. Now it will die a horrible death. [Stas]

Before v1.0 most changes were logged in modperl-2.0/Changes (see mod_perl <= v1.99_08).
