Changes for version 2.99_06

  • Added skip_all method to TAP::Parser.
  • Display reason for skipped tests.

Changes for version 2.99_05 - 2007-10-30

  • Fix for occasional rogue -1 exit code on Windows.
  • Fix for @INC handling under CPANPLUS.
  • Added real time to prove --timer output
  • Improved prove error message in case where 't' not found and no tests named.

Changes for version 2.99_04 - 2007-10-11

  • Fixed bug where 'All tests successful' would not be printed if bonus tests are seen.
  • Fixed bug where 'Result: FAIL' would be printed at the end of a test run if there were unexpectedly succeeding tests.
  • Added -M, -P switches to allow arbitrary modules to be loaded by prove. We haven't yet defined what they'll do once they load but it's a start...
  • Added testing under simulated non-forking platforms.

Changes for version 2.99_03 - 2007-10-06

  • Refactored all display specific code out of TAP::Harness.
  • Relaxed strict parsing of skip plan for pre v13 TAP.
  • Elapsed hi-res time is now displayed in integer milliseconds instead of fractional seconds.
  • prove stops running if any command-line switches are invalid.
  • prove -v would try to print an undef.
  • Added support for multiplexed and forked parallel tests. Use prove -j 9 to run tests in parallel and prove -j 9 --fork to fork. These features are experimental and currently unavailable on Windows.
  • Rationalized the management of the environment that we give to test scripts (PERL5LIB, PERL5OPT, switches).
  • Fixed handling of STDIN (we no longer close it) for test scripts.
  • Performance enhancements. Parser is now 30% - 40% faster.

Changes for version 2.99_02 - 2007-09-07

  • Ensure prove (and App::Prove) sort any recursively discovered tests
  • It is now possible to register multiple callback handlers for a particular event.
  • Added before_runtests, after_runtests callbacks to TAP::Harness.
  • Moved logic of prove program into App::Prove.
  • Added simple machine readable summary.
  • Performance improvement: The processing pipeline within TAP::Parser is now a closure which speeds up access to the various attribtes it needs.
  • Performance improvement: Test count spinner now updates exponentially less frequently as the count increases which saves a lot of I/O on big tests.
  • More improvements in test coverage from Leif.
  • Fixes to TAP spooling - now captures YAML blocks correctly.
  • Fix YAMLish handling of empty arrays, hashes.
  • Renamed TAP::Harness::Compatible to Test::Harness, runtests to prove.
  • Fixes to @INC handling. We didn't always pass the correct path to subprocesses.
  • We now observe any switches in HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES.
  • Changes to output formatting for greater compatibility with Test::Harness 2.64.
  • Added unicode test coverage and fixed a couple of unicode issues.
  • Additions to documentation.
  • Added support for non-forking Perls. If forking isn't available we fall back to open and disable stream merging.
  • Added support for simulating non-forking Perls to improve our test coverage.
  • Version numbers below this point relate to TAP::Parser - which was the name of this version of Test::Harness during its development.
