[ANNOUNCE] Test::Builder/More/Simple 0.72
This release unfixes a bug. 0.71 fixed a bug where if you ran a use_ok()
inside a BEGIN block without a plan it would silently fail and the test would
continue. For example...
use Test::More;
plan tests = 10;
BEGIN { use_ok(Some::Module) }
It looks like you planned before the use_ok() test ran, but it's actually run
afterwards because of the BEGIN block.
This turned out to be a pretty common mistake effecting a couple dozen CPAN
modules. This means the new Test::More causes a bunch of test suites that
previously worked fine to fail.
You tried to run a test without a plan at - line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 5.
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
Because of this I'm TEMPORARILY rolling the fix back at least a week to give
CPAN authors a little breathing room to make their fixes. The fix is usually
to plan in a BEGIN block.

Bug unfixes
* The BEGIN { use_ok } fix for [rt.cpan.org 28345] revealed a small pile
of mistakes in CPAN module test suites. Rolling the fix back to give
the authors a bit of time to fix their tests.

Bug fixes
- Fixed a problem with BEGIN { use_ok } silently failing when there's no
plan set. [rt.cpan.org 28345] Thanks Adriano Ferreira and Yitzchak.
- Fixed an obscure problem with is_deeply() and overloading ==
[rt.cpan.org 20768]. Thanks Sisyphus.
Test fixes
- Removed dependency on Text::Soundex [rt.cpan.org 25022]
- Fixed a 5.5.x failure in fail-more.t
* Got rid of the annoying sort_bug.t test that revealed problems with some
threaded perls. It was testing the deprecated eq_* functions and not
worth the bother. Now it tests is_deeply(). [rt.cpan.org 17791]
Doc fixes
- Minor POD mistake in Test::Builder [rt.cpan.org 28869]
* Test::FAQ has been updated with some more answers.
Install fixes
- Fixed the LICENSE is not a known MakeMaker parameter name warning
on older MakeMakers for real this time.

For something as high profile as Test::Simple, it would get much more exposure than most modules. Plus, there wasn't much in the changelog which suggested this was a rush OMG Must Deliver Now sort of change (it had been six months since the last release). And it would be nice to have this run against a substantial portion of a minicpan install since breaking the toolchain is a very, very bad thing to do (as Schwern as *repeatedly* pounded into my head :) Cheers, Ovid -- Buy the book - http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlhks/ Perl and CGI - http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/cgi_course/ Personal blog - http://publius-ovidius.livejournal.com/ Tech blog - http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/

Something as high profile as a bleadperl release (or a maintperl RC) doesn't get much testing. I have my doubts that most dev releases get *any* attention. -- c
