Hi all! A new release - 0.0115 - of Test-Run ( http://web-cpan.berlios.de/modules/Test-Run/ ) a modular and improved harness for automated test scripts based the Test Anything Protocol ( http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ) has been released to the CPAN today.
The highlights of this release are: * The core Test-Run core code was fully re-written as a BSD-style licence (the MIT X11 Licence). Some perl5-style (GPL+Artistic) code remains as old (and possibly out-of-date) documentation and in the test harness, and is explicitly marked as such in the POD. * Due to this licence-induced rewrite and due to other unrelated work, there has been a lot of refactoring and factoring out of the code of Test-Run and its quality has been improved. * The Test::Run::Plugin::TrimDisplayedFilenames plugin was added: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Run-Plugin-TrimDisplayedFilenames/ It allows to customise the displayed parts of test files with excessively long paths. It offers only a very basic functionality so far, but that has proved adequate to the author. * Added full POD coverage to the modules' POD documentation. * Some of the internal API compatibility was broken. --------------------- Test::Run is still constantly evolving and is not guaranteed to remain entirely backwards-compatible, especially not with the plugins' API. Documentation may be lacking, but you can always look at the code or the test suite for help. Test::Run is written in perl 5, and makes use of TAP::Parser and other CPAN technologies. It has been derived from Test::Harness-2.x, but is not compatible with it.
