1 | Changes from 0.4.9 to 3.78 (Sep 6, 1999):
|
---|
2 |
|
---|
3 | Lots of new tests. Renamed to follow the GNU make scheme. Also
|
---|
4 | added some support for using Purify with make.
|
---|
5 |
|
---|
6 | Rob Tulloh contributed some changes to get the test suite running on
|
---|
7 | NT; I tweaked them a bit (hopefully I didn't break anything!) Note
|
---|
8 | that NT doesn't grok the self-exec funkiness that Unix shells use,
|
---|
9 | so instead I broke that out into a separate shell script
|
---|
10 | "run_make_tests" that invokes perl with the (renamed) script
|
---|
11 | run_make_tests.pl.
|
---|
12 |
|
---|
13 | Eli Zaretski contributed changes to get the test suite running on
|
---|
14 | DOS with DJGPP. I also meddled in these somewhat.
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | If you're on DOS or NT you should run "perl.exe run_make_tests.pl ..."
|
---|
17 | If you're on Unix, you can continue to run "./run_make_tests ..." as
|
---|
18 | before.
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | Changes from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9 (May 14, 1998):
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to
|
---|
23 | blame for problems in this version :).
|
---|
24 |
|
---|
25 | Add some perl to test_driver.pl to strip out GNU make clock skew
|
---|
26 | warning messages from the output before comparing it to the
|
---|
27 | known-good output.
|
---|
28 |
|
---|
29 | A new test for escaped :'s in filenames (someone on VMS found this
|
---|
30 | didn't work anymore in 3.77): scripts/features/escape.
|
---|
31 |
|
---|
32 | Changes from 0.4.7 to 0.4.8 (May 14, 1998):
|
---|
33 |
|
---|
34 | Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to
|
---|
35 | blame for problems in this version :).
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | New tests for features to be included in GNU make 3.77.
|
---|
38 |
|
---|
39 | Changes from 0.4.6 to 0.4.7 (August 18, 1997):
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 | Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to
|
---|
42 | blame for problems in this version :).
|
---|
43 |
|
---|
44 | Reworked some tests to make sure they all work with both perl4 and perl5.
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | Work around a bug in perl 5.004 which doesn't clean the environment
|
---|
47 | correctly in all cases (fixed in at least 5.004_02).
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | Updated functions/strip to test for newline stripping.
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
51 | Keep a $PURIFYOPTIONS env variable if present.
|
---|
52 |
|
---|
53 | Changes from 0.4.5 to 0.4.6 (April 07, 1997):
|
---|
54 |
|
---|
55 | Release by Paul D. Smith <psmith@baynetworks.com>; I'm the one to
|
---|
56 | blame for problems in this version :).
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | Updated to work with GNU make 3.76 (and pretests).
|
---|
59 |
|
---|
60 | Added new tests and updated existing ones. Note that the new tests
|
---|
61 | weren't tested with perl 4, however I think they should work.
|
---|
62 |
|
---|
63 | Ignore any tests whose filenames end in "~", so that Emacs backup
|
---|
64 | files aren't run.
|
---|
65 |
|
---|
66 | Changes from 0.4.4 to 0.4.5 (April 29, 1995):
|
---|
67 |
|
---|
68 | Updated to be compatible with perl 5.001 as well as 4.036.
|
---|
69 |
|
---|
70 | Note: the test suite still won't work on 14-char filesystems
|
---|
71 | (sorry, Kaveh), but I will get to it.
|
---|
72 |
|
---|
73 | Also, some tests and stuff still haven't made it in because I
|
---|
74 | haven't had time to write the test scripts for them. But they,
|
---|
75 | too, will get in eventually. Contributions of scripts (ie, tests
|
---|
76 | that I can just drop in) are particularly welcome and will be
|
---|
77 | incorporated immediately.
|
---|
78 |
|
---|
79 | Changes from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4 (March 1995):
|
---|
80 |
|
---|
81 | Updated for changes in make 3.72.12, and to ignore CVS directories
|
---|
82 | (thanks go to Jim Meyering for the patches for this).
|
---|
83 |
|
---|
84 | Fixed uname call to not make a mess on BSD/OS 2.0 (whose uname -a
|
---|
85 | is very verbose). Let me know if this doesn't work correctly on
|
---|
86 | your system.
|
---|
87 |
|
---|
88 | Changed to display test name while it is running, not just when it
|
---|
89 | finishes.
|
---|
90 |
|
---|
91 | Note: the test suite still won't work on 14-char filesystems
|
---|
92 | (sorry, Kaveh), but I will get to it.
|
---|
93 |
|
---|
94 | Also, some tests and stuff still haven't made it in because I
|
---|
95 | haven't had time to write the test scripts for them. But they,
|
---|
96 | too, will get in eventually.
|
---|
97 |
|
---|
98 | Changes from 0.4 to 0.4.3 (October 1994):
|
---|
99 |
|
---|
100 | Fixed bugs (like dependencies on environment variables).
|
---|
101 |
|
---|
102 | Caught up with changes in make.
|
---|
103 |
|
---|
104 | The load_limit test should now silently ignore a failure due to
|
---|
105 | make not being able to read /dev/kmem.
|
---|
106 |
|
---|
107 | Reorganized tests into subdirs and renamed lots of things so that
|
---|
108 | those poor souls who still have to deal with 14-char filename
|
---|
109 | limits won't hate me any more. Thanks very much to Kaveh R. Ghazi
|
---|
110 | <ghazi@noc.rutgers.edu> for helping me with the implementation and
|
---|
111 | testing of these changes, and for putting up with all my whining
|
---|
112 | about it...
|
---|
113 |
|
---|
114 | Added a $| = 1 so that systems that don't seem to automatically
|
---|
115 | flush their output for some reason will still print all the
|
---|
116 | output. I'd hate for someone to miss out on the smiley that
|
---|
117 | you're supposed to get when all the tests pass... :-)
|
---|
118 |
|
---|
119 | Changes from 0.3 to 0.4 (August 1993):
|
---|
120 |
|
---|
121 | Lost in the mists of time (and my hurry to get it out before I
|
---|
122 | left my job).
|
---|
123 |
|
---|
124 | Changes from 0.2 to 0.3 (9-30-92):
|
---|
125 |
|
---|
126 | Several tests fixed to match the fact that MAKELEVEL > 0 or -C now
|
---|
127 | imply -w.
|
---|
128 |
|
---|
129 | parallel_execution test fixed to not use double colon rules any
|
---|
130 | more since their behavior has changed.
|
---|
131 |
|
---|
132 | errors_in_commands test fixed to handle different error messages
|
---|
133 | and return codes from rm.
|
---|
134 |
|
---|
135 | Several tests fixed to handle -make_path with a relative path
|
---|
136 | and/or a name other than "make" for make.
|
---|
137 |
|
---|
138 | dash-e-option test fixed to use $PATH instead of $USER (since the
|
---|
139 | latter does not exist on some System V systems). This also
|
---|
140 | removes the dependency on getlogin (which fails under certain
|
---|
141 | weird conditions).
|
---|
142 |
|
---|
143 | test_driver_core changed so that you can give a test name like
|
---|
144 | scripts/errors_in_commands and it will be handled correctly (handy
|
---|
145 | if you have a shell with filename completion).
|
---|
146 |
|
---|
147 | Changes from 0.1 to 0.2 (5-4-92):
|
---|
148 |
|
---|
149 | README corrected to require perl 4.019, not 4.010.
|
---|
150 |
|
---|
151 | -make_path replaces -old.
|
---|
152 |
|
---|
153 | errors_in_commands test updated for change in format introduced in
|
---|
154 | make 3.62.6.
|
---|
155 |
|
---|
156 | test_driver_core now uses a better way of figuring what OS it is
|
---|
157 | running on (thanks to meyering@cs.utexas.edu (Jim Meyering) for
|
---|
158 | suggesting this, as well as discovering the hard way that the old
|
---|
159 | way (testing for /mnt) fails on his machine).
|
---|
160 |
|
---|
161 | Some new tests were added.
|
---|
