Changes for version 0.54 - 2004-12-15

  • $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

Changes for version 0.53_01 - 2004-12-11

  • 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]
