Hi: I seek the wisdom of any other module authors that might have come across this problem.
Recently, I uploaded a new version of Math::Random::ISAAC::XS and ran into a *lot* of regressions. I've looked at the diff and I didn't really change all that much, except for removing some things from Recommends. The smokers nonetheless output something that I can't reproduce, and I'm not sure if it has to do with my use of the 'version' pragma, or if the systems in question are using an older version than I test with. In at least one report, the version seems to be recent, so I'm not sure if it's a new issue: version 0 0.76_06 I get plenty of failing tests: http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/M/Math-Random-ISAAC-XS.html#Math-Random-ISAAC-XS-1.0.6 Here is the diff between my last (100% PASS) version, 1.05, and the latest version, which has a lot more failures than I'd like: http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=Math-Random-ISAAC-XS-1.0.5&to=Math-Random-ISAAC-XS-1.0.6 Any insight that the module-authors can provide would be greatly appreciated. Does this have to do with the latest version pragma? Maybe I should also agree that it's considered a Bad Thing and move to using the older, more Perlish version numbers :( Cheers, Jonathan
