Greetings from Vienna! As a direct result of the Perl QA Hackathon in Vienna Devel::Cover version 0.66 is currently winging its way around the CPAN. It's also available here for the impatient:
http://www.pjcj.net/Devel-Cover-0.66.tar.gz Highlights of this release: - The method of collecting coverage data has been changed. Rather than replacing the runops loop, various opcodes are now replaced with custom versions. This has the major advantage of increasing speed, sometimes by three times the speed of 0.65, but normally by a little under two times, but it might also cause some problems so there is also an option to return to the original algorithm. - It works with Perl 5.12.0. - Er, that's probably about it. Not related to the release, but the code is now available on github at http://github.com/pjcj/Devel--Cover Many thanks to vienna.pm and everybody involved in organising the hackathon. I realise that I am rather behind on RT tickets (I've been working on a few this weekend). I'm also behind on Devel::Cover mail here and also personally. Sorry about that, I just don't have as much time for this sort of work as I would like to have. If anyone would like to answer messages, send patches or help out in any other way I'm always grateful for such assistance. Enjoy. -- Paul Johnson - p...@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net
