Revision history for Test-File-Contents

0.20 2011-02-18

• Now require Perl 5.8.3 or higher. 5.8 has effectively been the required Perl all along thanks to the dependency on Digest::MD5.
• Added encoding option, to make sure that files are read in their proper encoding.
• Significant refactoring; only visible change should be that the actualy MD5 checksum will no longer be included in the `file_md5sum` failure diagnostics.
• Renamed `file_md5sum` to `file_md5sum_is`. The old name remains as an alias for backwards compatibility.
• Renamed `file_contents_identical` to `files_eq`. The old name remains as an alias for backwards compatibility.
• Added `file_contents_eq_or_diff()` and `files_eq_or_diff()`.

0.10 2011-02-18

• Maintainership taken by David E. Wheeler.
• Removed `examples/simple.pl`, since it wouldn't run anyway.
• Added prototypes to the test functions.
• Failure diagnostics now appear after the failure message, rather than before.
• Renamed `file_contents_is` and `file_contents_isnt` to `file_contents_eq` and `file_contents_ne`, respectively. The old names remain as aliases for backwards compatibility.
• Reworked default test descriptions to include the names of the files being tested.
• Wordsmithed some of the diagnostic messages.
