Test-Pod - Changes

Change log for Test::Pod

1.45 2011-03-09T20:00:59

Removed Module::Build from `build_requires`, since it does nothing out-of-the ordinary, and this keeps it out of the `Makefile.PL`'s `PM_PREREQ`. Per gripe from Peter Scott.

1.44 2010-04-26T17:33:02

Restored the `Makefile.PL` by using Module::Build::Compat's "traditional" configuration.

1.43 2010-04-21T02:33:59

Reduced prereq for Test::More to 0.62, prereq for Pod::Simple to 3.05, and added File::Spec to the list of prereqs. The prerequisites were needlessly high, and by reducing them Test::Pod can rely on the core versions of those modules in on Perl 5.8.8. Thanks to Chris Wittmer for the patch.

1.42 - 2010-03-10T19:41:20

Fixed invalid Pod link. Thanks to Markus Sonderegger.
Changed license in the POD to "Same as Perl" to match the license listed in `META.yml`.
Changed `Build.PL` to require Module::Build 0.30. It already does in `configure_requires`, but also doing so on the `use` line helps provide a more useful error message in older toolchain tools that don't use `configure_requires`.
Updated `MANIFEST` so that the `README` is actually included in the distribution.
Now recognizes `.bat` files as Perl files when they contain "---Perl---" on the first line. Thanks to Olivier 'dolmen' MenguÃ© for the patch (RT #46973).
`all_pod_files_ok()` now operates on directories as well as files. Thanks to Adriano Ferreira for the patch (RT #33025).
Files with no POD now have " (no pod)" added to test name. Thanks to Adriano Ferreira for the patch (RT #34955).
Updated documentation to note that `.PL` files are considered Perl files. Thanks to Adriano Ferreira for the spot (RT #34955).
`all_pod_files_ok()` now lets `pod_file_ok()` set the default test name, rather than doing so itself. Thanks to Adriano Ferreira for the spot (RT #34955).

1.41 - 2010-01-14T20:09:25

Maintenance transfered to David Wheeler.
Test::Pod no longer complains about the construct L<text|url>, as it is no longer illegal (as of Perl 5.11.3).
Switched to Module::Build.

1.40 - Sun Jul 12 23:32:11 CDT 2009

[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]
Test::Pod now requires Perl 5.8.0.

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Test::Pod now complains about the illegal construct L<text|url>. Thanks to Paul Miller.

The list of directories to exclude is now much longer, and is available in %Test::Pod::ignore_dirs. This list is right now:

        '.bzr' => 'Bazaar',
        '.git' => 'Git',
        '.hg'  => 'Mercurial',
        '.pc'  => 'quilt',
        '.svn' => 'Subversion',
        CVS    => 'CVS',
        RCS    => 'RCS',
        SCCS   => 'SCCS',
        _darcs => 'darcs',
        _sgbak => 'Vault/Fortress',

1.26 - Wed Jul 19 09:54:48 CDT 2006

No new functionality in this version.

[FIXES]

Fixed a Win32 build bug.
Fixed a bug in the SYNOPSIS.

1.24 - Wed Feb 1 15:18:06 PST 2006

[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]

The long-deprecated pod_ok() is now gone, along with all its constants.

[ENHANCEMENTS]

Now runs properly under VMS. Thanks to Peter Edwards.

1.22 - Sun Oct 23 23:45:51 CDT 2005

[ENHANCEMENTS]

Added check for lines with only whitespace before or after a directive. Older POD formatters can get confused by such lines since they goof up paragraph mode. (RT #6467)

[FIXES]

Bumped up requirements to Test::Simple 0.62.

1.20 - Wed Jun 23 00:28:35 CDT 2004

[ENHANCEMENTS]

Looks in blib/ if there is one, otherwise looks in lib/
Thanks to David Wheeler for nudging.

1.18 - Fri May 28 23:48:28 CDT 2004

[FIXES]

Now exports all_pod_files() as advertised.
Also includes *.t files as Pod.

1.16 - Fri Apr 30 17:42:50 CDT 2004

[FIXES]

Fixed a warning under 5.8.3. Also explicitly closes dir handles when searching for POD.

1.14 - Wed Apr 28 23:38:29 CDT 2004

[ENHANCEMENTS]

Now runs taint-safe. No longer uses File::Find. I'm trying to get all my modules to run under -T correctly, so this is big.

1.12 - Sat Mar 13 10:34:06 CST 2004

[ENHANCEMENTS]

all_pod_files() now picks up *.PL files.

1.10 - Tue Mar 9 23:27:16 CST 2004

[ENHANCEMENTS]

Almost all of my coverage is almost to 100%.

[FIXES]

Fixed some test bugs on Win32.
Message problems if the file is missing.

1.08 - Wed Jan 21 00:40:07 CST 2004

No new features or fixes.

[FIXES]

t/all_pod_files.t failed because in my zeal to be a good cross-platform guy, I used File::Spec separators on lists to compare against those coming from File::Find, which uses slashes.

1.06 - Sat Jan 10 08:47:55 CST 2004

No new features or fixes.

[FIXES]

t/all_pod_files.t failed because all_pod_files() returns an unsorted list. Fixed.

1.04 - Fri Jan 9 22:39:15 CST 2004

[ENHANCEMENTS]

all_pod_files() can now take multiple start directories. Thanks to David Wheeler for the patch.

1.03

[FIXES]

All the *ok() functions now return the value of the underlying ok().

[DOCUMENTATION]

All functions are now documented.

[INTERNALS]

Removed valid_file, which was not being used.

1.02 - Mon Nov 10 09:07:39 CST 2003

No new functionality. If 1.00 installed for you, then you don't need 1.02.

[FIXES]

Fixed dumb test failure in t/all_pod_files.t.

[DOCUMENTATION]

Spiffed up the SYNOPSIS.

1.00 - Mon Nov 10 00:06:30 CST 2003

0.96 - Sat Oct 11 22:46:00 CST 2003

Removed dependency on IO::Scalar, which was wrong.
Requires newest, most-lenient Pod::Simple.
Added various tests to the t/ hierarchy. Thanks to David Wheeler for help on this.

0.95 - Mon Mar 3 09:35:00 CST 2002

Rewrote to use Pod::Simple instead of Pod::Checker
Deprecated the pod_ok function.
Added pod_file_ok() to replace pod_ok().
