  3.3 Changes

    Changes are as follows:

    Test-Tester-0.01
        Originated.

    Test-Tester-0.02
        Minor changes to this SVD.

    Test-Tech-0.01
        Due to a non-registered namespace conflict with CPAN, changed the
        namespace from Test::Tester to Test::Tech

    Test-Tech-0.02
        Fixed prototype for &Test::Tech::skip_rest Test::Tech line 84

    Test-Tech-0.03
        The &Data::Dumper::Dumper subroutine stringifies the internal Perl
        variable. Different Perls keep the have different internal formats
        for numbers. Some keep them as binary numbers, while others as
        strings. The ones that keep them as strings may be well spec. In any
        case they have been let loose in the wild so the test scripts that
        use Data::Dumper must deal with them.

        Added a probe to determine how a Perl stores its internal numbers
        and added code to the test script to adjust for the difference in
        Perl

    Test::Tech 0.04
        *   Added functions with the same name as the "Test" functions. This
            make it easier to upgrade from "Test" to "Test::Tech"

        *   Added tests not only for Test 1.15 but also Test 1.24

        *   Added tests for the new "Test" functions.

    Test-Tech-0.05
        Replaced using Test::Util that has disappeared with its
