ReleaseNotes - These are the Release Notes for 1.16_15

=head1 SYNOPSIS

THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT!
(Sorry about the shouting, but it may have bugs or be incomplete)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

I have done a lot of refactoring and wrote loads of new code.

=over 4

=item 1

B<smokeperl.pl> is the new way to smoke. It is a wrapper script around
good ol' B<mktest.pl> and B<mkovz.pl>

It also uses the backends to B<synctree.pl> and B<mailrpt.pl>

=item 2

B<configsmoke.pl> helps you create a configuration for
B<perlsmoke.pl>. This configuration is stored in a separate file, so
that it is possible to have different configurations.

One can think of different perl versions or different compiler
versions.

=item 3

New ways to sync the source-tree (see L<synctree.pl> and
L<Test::Smoke::Syncer>).

=item 4

Distribution now contains Mail::Sendmail (esp. for Win32)

=item 5

-Uuseperlio will now only do one (1) testrun and it's back in B<smoke.cfg>

=item 6

An implementation of Nick Clark's 'Hardlink Forest', with the extra
B<< --forest <directory> >> option to B<mktest.pl>. This will change
the way to B<make distclean> to another (hopefully faster).

=item 7

The subject of the message  containing the report has changed:

 Smoke [perlversion] <patch> <summary> <os> - <osvers> (<arch>/<cpus>)

=item 8

If your platform supports B<UTF-8 locales> you will now be able to do
an extra run of B<make test>  with B<$ENV{LC_ALL}> set to such a
locale.

=head1 TODO

I don't know if all of this will make it into 1.17...
