[Sorry if this ends up twice, I didn't see it after 24+ hours] Some smokers have been testing the alpha snapshots and I feel it is now time to release this RC1.
The uploaded file Test-Smoke-1.19-RC1.tar.gz has entered CPAN as file: $CPAN/authors/id/A/AB/ABELTJE/develsnap/Test-Smoke-1.19-RC1.tar.gz size: 150674 bytes md5: 6e628b636d714dc245eae917d2e3c557 And will soon be on a CPAN near you. From the ReleasNotes: Major changes since 1.18 1 I finally got around to rewriting mkovz.pl and replaced it with Test::Smoke::Reporter and decided to use <mailrpt.pl> as the new front-end. 2 The new reports have better hardware/OS detection, with many thanks to Merijn Brand (most osses), Campo Weijerman (AIX), Allen Smith (IRIX), Alan Burlison (Solaris). The compiler info is now logged after each Configure, so this is will be available in reports even though the last Configure failed. 3 After "many" requests, the old stuff (mktest.pl, mkovz.pl etc) is now gone (although I had planned the 1.20)! 4 smokestatus.pl tries to give a better guesstimate for ETA. It also has the new "--matrix" option to also show the smoke-matrix with the status report. 5 Some work has been done on the Win32 side. Most notably a start has been made to try and support Win98. Also some work on the W32Con- figure.pl script. 6 The behaviour attached to the "cc" option for Test::Smoke::Mailer has changed so that it will now only send "Cc:" on failure. Good luck, Abe -- Perl "configure" is not GNU configure, Perl is not "other GNU program". Do not confuse one of Perl's licenses with the GNU project itself. -- Jarkko Hietaniemi on p5p @ 2002-05-27
