The main body of F<ReleaseNotes>
1 Jarkko suggested a timeout mechanism so that smokes are stopped on a
specific time or after a specified duration.
{killtime} eq '07:30' stops the smoke at 07:30 (AM)
{killtime} eq '+9:30' stop after 9.5 hours
(this change was integrated into 1.17.02 MAINT)
2 Test::Smoke::BuildCFG is a new interface for handling build
configurations. This OO interface will serialize the parsed build
configurations and give you the ability to iterate over them.
3 Test::Smoke::Smoker is a new interface for running a smoke cycle. It
basically replaces the inner works of mktest.pl.
mktest.pl is hereby deprecated and runsmoke.pl is its replacement
front-end to Test::Smoke/Test::Smoke::Smoker
4 Merijn was in dire need of a "--continue" option and it was on
Abigail's wishlist as well as on mine. So I hacked it.
5 I wanted support for Jarkko's 5.8.x snapshots. These are only
available via HTTP without a directory listing. There was already
support for a specific snapshot file but not for HTTP. If you have
LWP installed, Test::Smoke will use "LWP::Simple::mirror()" to fetch
the snapshot. (You should create a separate configuration for this.)
Use this feature together with the new "--snapshot=i" switch for
smokeperl.pl:
$ ./snap58x.sh --snapshot 19876
(these changes were integrated from 1.17.07 MAINT)
6 The new "--defaultenv" switch allows you to run the test-suite
without $ENV{PERLIO} (a single pass for "make test").
7 configsmoke.pl now does a basic check for unsupported build-options
in the build-configurations file.
This feature is still in its infancy, so if you have any information
regarding your platform, please let us know.
8 The keys in the *_config files will now be ordered if
"Data::Dumper->can('Sortkeys')". This was a feature request from
Merijn.
9 In some cases miniperl gets build but no perl. Hugo suggested we
should run "make minitest" in this case. The new status M will
appear in the reports and if there are test failures they are marked
with [minitest].
10 Now that we have a new Champion for 5.6.2 (thank you Rafael) there
are some extra defaults to help configuring Test::Smoke for this
release.
