I'm pleased at announce that CPAN::Reporter 1.00 has been released and
should soon be appearing on a CPAN mirror near you. Now, anyone with
CPAN and a relatively modern version of Perl can contribute to CPAN
Testers.
Version 1.00, combined with CPAN.pm 1.92 or better, provides several
major enhancements over the 0.XX series. From the Changes file:
* Added support for reporting for *.PL and make/Build stages; bumped
CPAN.pm prerequisite to 1.9203 to take advantage of this support
* Added support for the forthcoming Test::Harness 3.00
* Changed the name and format of the history file of sent reports to track
history by PL/make/test phase. Old history.db will be automatically
upgraded to new reports-sent.db.
* Moved 'cc_author' and 'send_duplicates' options from interactive to
advanced (manual) configuration; defaults are strongly recommended
* Bumped Test::Reporter prereq to 1.34 for transport() method and set
default transport to Net::SMTP on all platforms
Anyone using an older version of CPAN::Reporter is strongly encouraged
to upgrade.
Getting started with CPAN::Reporter is easy. From the CPAN shell:
cpan> install CPAN::Reporter
cpan> reload cpan
cpan> o conf init test_report
A note to module authors -- CPAN::Reporter is getting smarter about
handling prerequisite failures and unsupported Perl versions or
platforms. But there are best practices you can follow to make this
easier. See "Notes for CPAN Authors" on the CPAN Testers Wiki for more
details: http://cpantest.grango.org/
Sincerely,
David Golden
