On Tuesday the first [insert desired time period here] Devel::Cover hackathon
was held at the hacker kitchen (aka clkao's flat), sponsored by Best
Practical.

I think the day was a great success.  We had a bunch of commits comprising bug
fixes, new functionality and refactoring, culminating in the 0.56 release.

We also had wonderful food - duck from Four Seasons for lunch
(http://flickr.com/photos/clkao/204377886/) and clkao cooked dinner including
mackerel with vinegar, tuna, steamed prawns, steak with frozen tofu and
strawberry lassi.  Follow the links from

Highlights of the coding included fixing the overload/bool problem, syntax
highlighting in HTML reports, refactoring duplicated code in the criteria
classes and not worrying about the results of conditionals in void context,
this work being done by Chia-liang Kao, Norman Nunley, Leon Brocard and me.

Nicholas Clark managed to arrive in time for dinner, but too late to get his
patch into the release, so I have just made a 0.57 release also including some
nice changes to the reports from Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni.

The RT queue is also a little shorter, but there is still lots to do.

So all in all, a very productive and enjoyable day.  Lots and lots of thanks
to everyone.
