Test::Harness 3.0 is Out

After a long wait, Test::Harness 3.0 is now available for download. Current, the default distribution still points to Test::Harness 2.65_02, but hopefully that will be resolved soon. As it stands, Andy Armstrong did the bulk of the work finishing things up, and the team is quite grateful for this.

There are now only six bugs left in the RT queue, most of which are wishlist items or unlikely to have a wide impact. Until recently, there were 46 bugs in said queue.

There has also been a surprisingly large number of projects already started basing their work on the underlying TAP::Parser module, including:

The following organization use or plan to use the new tools available: Yahoo!, BBC, XMMS2.

As a final piece of good news, Test::Harness::Straps has been released as a separate distribution in case you need time to rely on this module before converting over.

Cheers,

Has Test::More been updated to use T::H3 ? My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

There's no need for it to be. We happily read the output from Test::More. That being said, we do provide more tools (YAML diagnostics) which we'd like to see support for in Test::Builder, but that's something on the roadmap. Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.	[reply]
