Changes for version 0.85_01 - 2008-10-23

  • New Features
  • cmp_ok() now displays the error if the comparison throws one. For example, broken overloaded objects.
  • Bug Fixes
  • cmp_ok() no longer stringifies or numifies its arguments before comparing. This makes cmp_ok() properly test overloaded ops. [rt.cpan.org 24186] [code.google.com 16]
  • diag() properly escapes blank lines.
  • 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.
  • Other
  • Dependency on ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.27 only on Windows otherwise the nested tests won't run.
