NAME

ReleaseNotes - These are the Release Notes for 1.20.01

SYNOPSIS

These are the major changes since version 1.19

DESCRIPTION

Thanks to Bernd Ulmann for giving me access to his VAX and the help of the vmsperl community, I have added support for OpenVMS.

Major changes since 1.20.00

  1. Test::Smoke::SysInfo is a work in progress. Some more tweaking for Darwin on Intel was done with the help of David Cantrell.

Major changes since 1.19

This release is two years overdue.

1

Test::Smoke::SysInfo is a work in progress. Some more tweaking for Solaris was done with the help of Alan Burlison and Davis Woolger.

2

I order to support systems without rsync(1) access, I have added Test::Smoke::FTPClient that syncs source-trees with Net::FTP from the ActiveState ftp repository. It is slow, but gets the job done.

3

A lot of filename/directoryname issues with VMS were resolved.

4

A new way to get test results directly from "make test_harness" was introduced to help VMS (and perhaps Win32).

5

Jarkko Hietaniemi supplied a way to add C compiler messages to the smoke report.

6

Patches applied through the pfile mechanism now support a third argument that represents a patch description. This (optional) description is also added to patchlevel.h.

Added a new "Locally applied patches:" section to the smoke report.

7

The longtime TODO item of patching with forest setup has been resolved. For this type of setup, first the intermediate tree is patched and then the build tree is resynced from that.

8

I added an option to indicate that tests should only be run once and by harness (harnessonly).

9

The defaultenv option is now on by default for MSWin32.

10

In a UTF-8 environment ($LANG) a charset=UTF8 header will be added to the e-mail when possible.
