0.46.1 2016-03-31 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- [dist] Forgot to bump prereq version Bencher::Backend 0.46. UPDATE:
this version number is broken because 0.46 > 0.46.1 because 0.46
normalizes to 0.460.000 while 0.46.1 is 0.046.100. This has happened a
few times to me in other distributions too, so perhaps it's time to
consider switching to a 3-digit minor version.

perls/module versions).
- Add option --noreturn-meta to disable returning extra metadata.
- Add action: show-items-codes.
0.37 2016-03-13 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- In addition to 'cmdline', you can also use 'cmdline_template' in
participant (which can also be a string or array of strings). This is
like 'code' and 'code_template'.
0.36 2016-03-11 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- [Bugfix] Reorder formatters to avoid division by zero ('rates'
field removed by ModuleStartup formatter).
- Replace JSON with JSON::MaybeXS.
0.35 2016-02-18 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- Add option: --sort.
- Add result field: vs_slowest to compare items more easily.
- Scenarios often use 'precision' property instead of
'default_precision', so let's accept that too.
- Allow precision >= 1 (this means number of samples).
0.34 2016-01-22 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- [formatter] Don't delete constant columns if there are less than
two rows in result.
- Replace POSIX::round() with sprintf(%d) because older version of

- Move executing before_bench hook before testing code (which is
the first time we run the codes).

- Add option: --note.
0.32 2016-01-21 Released-By: PERLANCAR

0.30 2016-01-19 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- [internal][refactor] Modularize formatting process into formatter
modules & roles.
- Tweak formatted result ('seq' field is by default removed, unit is now
moved to header to keep the time fields as pure numbers).
0.29 2016-01-11 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- [ux] Remove notes column in results table when there are no
notes.
0.28 2016-01-11 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- [Bugfix] Fix for on_result_failure='warn', forgot to remove 'next'
statement, derp.
- Add example scenarios: Example::MultipleArgValues::Array &
Example::MultipleArgValues::Hash.
- Instead of just adding item's "name" (which was convoluted
JSON-encoded string) to the result, we now add permutation keys from
the item, e.g. "participant", "dataset", and other permutations.
Including each multiple argument value permutation (run included
scenario Example::MultipleArgValues::Array for a demonstration). This
makes for a more readable result table. As well as a more useful
results data as we can later more easily filter/re-sort the results.
- As an added human readability aid, when formatting result as text
table, we now remove item permutation columns that are constant, to
reduce clutter. For example, if you are benchmarking only a single
dataset, the "dataset" column will be omitted from display because we
know it only contains the same value. The JSON result will still
contain the complete columns though.
- In dataset's "args" property, multiple-valued argument can now be hash
as an alternative to array. This makes for a more readable result
because we use the hash keys as the permutation key instead of value
(which might be long or less unreadable to human).
0.27 2016-01-11 Released-By: PERLANCAR
- Add on_result_failure.
- Check item's result and assume failure if item's result is not as
expected.

before_list_datasets, before_list_participants.

'bencher-fmt FILENAME' when perisga-argv tries to decode FILENAME
as JSON first.

Devel::Platform::Info).
