Fixed the "requests_redirectable" parameter to
Apache::TestRequest::user_agent() so that it works as docmented when
passed a negative value. [Boris Zentner]

Documented support for passing an array reference to the
"requests_redirectable" parameter to Apache::TestRequest::user_agent()
to be passed to LWP::UserAgent if LWP ist installed. [David]


=item 1.12 - June 28, 2004

Force projects that use Apache::TestReportPerl to implement
report_to() if they use t/REPORT in their projects. [Stas]

Add redirect tests [David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>]

add -no-httpd runtime option to allow tests to run without configuring,
starting, or stopping Apache.  this essentially provides a direct
Test::Harness interface through t/TEST, useful for running single tests
that do not depend on Apache.  [Geoffrey Young]

Add support for Module::Build, with a new module: Apache::TestMB (a
"clone" of Apache::TestMM for ExtUtils::MakeMaker). [David Wheeler
<david@kineticode.com>]

switch the order of arguments in t_cmp() and t_is_equal() so that
the order matches Test::More::is() and other Test::More functions.
the new call is: t_cmp($received, $expected, $comment);  support
for $expected as the first argument marked as deprecated and will
be removed in the course of the next few release cycles.
[Geoffrey Young]

add skip_reason() to Apache::Test, which provides a mechanism for
user-specified skip messages [Geoffrey Young]

Tweak Apache::TestRun to support test filenames starting with
/(.\\)?t\\/ prefixes, windows style (needed for t/SMOKE) [Steve Hay]



=item 1.11 - May 21, 2004

if we fail to match the Apache revision (which is OK at the early
stages, like 'perl Makefile.PL', default to a non-existing revision
0. But provide no more misleading defaults (used to default to
revision 2 and then looking for mod_perl2). [Stas]

Improve the regex to match the Apache revision out of 'httpd -v'
[Michael A Nachbaur <mike@nachbaur.com>]

-minclients is now what -maxclients used to be, -maxclients is now
really what it says it is [Stas]

Fix Apache::TestRequest::lwp_as_string to work with LWP 5.79 [Stas]




=item 1.10 - April 18, 2004

Quote and escape the executables in the shell calls [Ken Coar, Stas]

Quote and escape filtered args received during 'perl Makefile.PL'
[Geoffrey Young, Ken Coar]

add :withtestmore import tag to Apache::Test, which will export
all standard Apache::Test symbols except those that collide with
Test::More.  [Geoffrey Young]

Use function prototypes in Apache::TestUtil functions t_cmp() and
t_is_equal() to handle the case when an argument to the function, is a
function call itself which may return undef (previously had to
explicitly force a scalar context to get the undef value). The idea
was borrowed from Test::More. [Stas]

Fixed a Windows-only segment which would result in a
'use of uninitialised value' error if a hash being traversed
had an entry with a key but an undefined value.  [Ken]

Support continuous configuration line when parsing the inherited
configuration file [Stas]

Since some of the inherited from the global httpd.conf modules require
mod_perl to be loaded first, arrange for that to happen. [Stas]

Don't try to set ulimit unlimited for coredumps on Solaris, unless run
as root [Rob Kinyon <Rob.Kinyon@progressive-medical.com>]

Added '-httpd_conf_extra <filename>' configuration option to
allow a file of server config directives to be inherited
in addition to the server's own httpd.conf file (or the one
specified by -httpd_conf).  [Ken and Stas]

Generated Listen directive now listen on 0.0.0.0 to force using
IPv4 addresses on IPv6 systems until LWP supports IPv6. [Gozer]

improved docs [David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>]

Add a virtual method Apache::TestRun::pre_configure, and fix the
documentation to say that subclasses must not forget to run the
superclass' method. [Stas]

Apache::TestRunPerl now performs an early check whether it can load
the right mod_perl environment. [William McKee <william@knowmad.com>,
Stas]

$ENV{APACHE_TEST_NO_STICKY_PREFERENCES}, if true, will both suppress
generation of persistent preferences and ignore any that already exist.
[Geoffrey Young]

make the project's test suite relocatable, handling the case where
after Apache-Test configuration was created and not cleaned up before
the directory was moved. This is especially important for those cases
where users try to run 'make test' as root from /root, A-T tells them
that they can't do that (because of the perms) and suggests to try
again, afer moving the whole project under /tmp or similar. [Stas]

When running as 'root' make the client side drop the root permissions
and run with the same permissions as the server side
(e.g. nobody). This is needed in case the client side creates any
files after the initial check (during server side startup and beyond),
so that the server side could read/write them. [Stas]
