The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.20 - 2011-02-18

  • Now require Perl 5.8.3 or higher. 5.8 has effectively been the required Perl all along thanks to the dependency on Digest::MD5.
  • Added encoding option, to make sure that files are read in their proper encoding.
  • Significant refactoring; only visible change should be that the actualy MD5 checksum will no longer be included in the `file_md5sum` failure diagnostics.
  • Renamed `file_md5sum` to `file_md5sum_is`. The old name remains as an alias for backwards compatibility.
  • Renamed `file_contents_identical` to `files_eq`. The old name remains as an alias for backwards compatibility.
  • Added `file_contents_eq_or_diff()` and `files_eq_or_diff()`.
