What is Test-Run?
-----------------
Test-Run is an improved test harness for TAP based test streams. Originally
forked from Test-Harness-2.x, it has been heavily modularised and extended,
and was ported to use TAP-Parser. It has been split into a front-end, a back-
end, a prove-like script-in-a-module, all with several OOP classes, and has
several optional plugins on CPAN for such things as colouring the output,
using alternate interpreters for running the TAP scripts and trimming the
displayed filenames. More plugins can be written.
What's new in this release?
---------------------------
The primary change was the Moosification of Test-Run, which made the code
cleaner and more modern. Moreover, NEXT.pm was ditched in favour of the more
modern MRO::Compat (which defaults to mro.pm in perl-5.10.x and above).
YAML.pm was replaced with the faster and better YAML::XS . Finally, the
META.yml was enhanced with resources and keywords.

Have fun!

God gave us two eyes and ten fingers so we will type five times as much as we
