Revision history for Perl module CPAN::Reporter::Smoker

0.11 Sat May 17 11:59:08 EDT 2008

    - Documented: support for 'build_dir_reuse' is experimental and needs
      CPAN 1.92_62 (as yet unreleased) to work properly
    
0.10 Fri May 16 08:27:47 EDT 2008

    - Added: 'clean_cache_after' argument to have CPAN clean its build cache
      after a certain number of distributions are smoked (default 100)

    - Added: 'set_term_title' boolean argument to control whether the terminal
      title is updated or not (default 1)

    - Changed: if CPAN config option 'build_dir_reuse' is true and CPAN has
      the 'reset_tested' method, then 'reset_tested' will be called prior
      to each distribution's smoke test to limit PERL5INC to direct
      dependencies only instead of all available build directories

    - Documented: how to use (and limitations of) CPAN's build_dir_reuse
      config option

0.09 Wed Apr 23 22:56:17 EDT 2008

    - Documented: CPAN distroprefs option is 'prefs_dir' not 'pref_dir'
      (Serguei Trouchelle)

0.08 Mon Mar 24 13:46:46 EDT 2008

    - Changed: smoker now maintains a cache of distributions seen during 
      a session to speed up skipping distributions already tested when
      the smoker rechecks indices and restarts testing
    
    - Fixed: our $SIG{INT} handler now installed *after* CPAN.pm installs its 
      handler so we take precedence

0.07 Mon Mar 10 08:32:50 EDT 2008

    - Added: Sets title of terminal window (xterm or Win32) to indicate 
      current distribution being smoked (adds Term::Title as prereq)

    - Changed: interrupting smoker with CTRL-C now shows what distribution
      was interrupted (helpful for disabling in distroprefs)

    - Changed: progress message -- added blank line before to help it stand out
      and localtime() timestamp to help see how long a test has been running
      (e.g is it hung?)

    - Documented: how to use 'trust_test_report_history' and 'halt_on_failure' 
      config options from the latest dev release of CPAN.pm

    - Documented: cache purge happens when indices are checked for new distros

0.06 Thu Mar  6 10:12:26 EST 2008

    - Added documentation on using distroprefs to skip building and testing
      certain distributions

    - Edited other usage hints for clarity

0.05 Tue Feb 26 22:56:12 EST 2008

    - Smoker now periodically checks for new distributions; added
      "restart_delay" option (default 12 hours) to control frequency
    
    - Added support for CPAN cache scanning on start and at each restart (if
      configured in CPAN::Config)
    
    - Changed invocation of CPAN so trust_test_report_history option will work

    - Skips Bundles and mod_perl

0.04 Mon Feb  4 11:51:16 EST 2008

    - Quick fix of broken distribution (added missing prereq and restored
      a private function that was mistakenly deleted)

0.03 Mon Feb  4 11:23:43 EST 2008

    - Vastly improved logic for selecting distributions to test

    - Test suite confirms smoke tester picks up a developer version
      (still could be improved)
