Revision history for Test-Valgrind
+1.17 2015-11-13 13:50 UTC
+ + Fix : [RT #108873] : Tests fail due to "Text file busy"
+ Thanks Paul Howarth for reporting.
+
+1.16 2015-11-12 23:30 UTC
+ + Chg : The Test::Valgrind tests will now be skipped when the default
+ and user-supplied suppressions files do not refer to any perl-
+ related symbol. This behaviour can be overridden by passing
+ 'allow_no_supp => 1' to Test::Valgrind->import.
+ This fixes the following RT issue.
+ + Fix : [RT #101934] : t/20-bad.t failing on armv7hl
+ While the root cause of this issue is probably not at
+ Test::Valgrind's level, it should nevertheless not run the
+ tests when the suppression files are obviously insufficient.
+ Thanks Paul Howarth for reporting and providing helpful
+ feedback.
+ + Fix : The accuracy of the default perl suppression file has been
+ improved.
+ + Fix : The tests will be more reliably skipped when no valgrind or
+ no suppressions are found.
+ + Fix : Segmentation faults during the analysis are now more gracefully
+ handled.
+ + Fix : 'no_def_supp => 1' will no longer cause the extra suppressions
+ to be ignored.
+ + Tst : t/20-bad.t will no longer run the extra tests when no valgrind
+ can be found (this was a regression in version 1.15).
+
+1.15 2015-10-30 16:15 UTC
+ + Add : The new 'regen_def_supp' option can be passed to
+ Test::Valgrind->import to forcefully regenerate the default
+ suppression file.
+ + Fix : Build failures of the dummy XS code with PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS
+ perls.
+ + Fix : Handshake failures in tests with recent perls built with
+ PERL_POISON.
+ + Tst : Improved diagnostics on failure.
+ + Upd : Freshen Makefile.PL.
+
+1.14 2013-09-01 17:10 UTC
+ This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+ Satisfied users of version 1.13 can skip this update.
+ + Doc : POD headings are now properly linkable.
+ + Tst : Author tests are no longer bundled with this distribution.
+ They are only made available to authors in the git repository.
+ + Tst : The stack traces used in t/20-bad.t have been made more
+ predictable when compiler optimizations are in use.
+
+1.13 2011-08-25 15:45 UTC
+ + Fix : The session will now call the finish() method at the right time.
+ + Fix : The README file is now properly UTF-8-encoded.
+ + Tst : Test demangling of Z-encoded symbols.
+
+1.12 2009-11-29 16:45 UTC
+ + Doc : The front documentation in Test::Valgrind was improved.
+ + Fix : Don't install Valgrind.so, as it's only used for testing.
+ + Fix : "Non-portable hex number" warnings.
+ + Fix : Old versions of valgrind could leave some Z-encoded symbols in
+ the stack traces. We now make sure they're always decoded.
+
+1.11 2009-10-08 20:55 UTC
+ + Doc : Completion and improvements.
+ + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
+ + Upd : Freshen Makefile.PL.
+
+1.10 2009-09-22 18:45 UTC
+ + Chg : valgrind is no longer required to be installed before installing
+ this module.
+ + Chg : The parser logic that used to be located inside the tool was
+ moved to a new Test::Valgrind::Parser hierarchy. The tool
+ decides which parser should be used by implementing the
+ "parser_class" method.
+ + Fix : Compatibility with valgrind 3.5.
+ + Fix : The "valgrind" option to Test::Valgrind::Session->new wasn't
+ doing anything.
+ + Fix : The "Test" action could generate inappropriate error messages.
+
+1.02 2009-05-02 12:05 UTC
+ + Add : Commands can now be aggregated.
+ + Add : The commands can now also filter and mangle reports.
+ + Chg : The perl suppressions are now stripped from everything below
+ Perl_runops_*.
+ + Doc : Typos, nits and clarifications.
+
+1.01 2009-04-14 21:15 UTC
+ + Add : Allow testing code given by -e. Hurray for source filters!
+ + Fix : Lazily load version.pm in Test::Valgrind::Session so that it's
+ not really needed at configure time.
+ + Fix : Don't unload dynamic extensions by default so that their symbols
+ still appear in the stack traces.

Complete rewrite. The options passed to Test::Valgrind->import have
changed, so please have a look at the doc.
