There are some user visible changes which might cause "fixage" for those who
depend too closely on the output of Test::Builder.  Here's the new features
and feature changes.

New Test::More Features
* new_ok() combines a call to new() with isa_ok().
* note() is like diag() but only shows up in verbose output
* explain() is a handy data dumping function

New Test::Builder Features
* TODO tests can be declared more accurately using todo_start()
  and todo_end().

Feature Changes
* use Test::More no_plan => 1; now issues a warning
* A test's exit code is now preserved rather than exiting with 255.
* The "Looks like your test died" message is now "Looks like your test
  exited with $exit_code"
* The "extra tests" message shows the number of tests run rather than
  the number extra to avoid having to do mental math
* The diagnostics for isnt() are more obvious, rather than being
  recycled cmp_ok() output.


0.82  Tue Oct 14 23:06:56 EDT 2008
    Bug Fixes
    - 0.81_01 broke $TODO such that $TODO = '' was considered todo.


0.81_02  Tue Sep  9 04:35:40 PDT 2008
    New Features
    * Test::Builder->reset_outputs() to reset all the output methods back to
      their defaults.

    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed the file and line number reported by like when it gets a bad
      regex.

    Features Changed
    - Now preserves the tests' exit code if it exits abnormally, rather than
      setting it to 255.
    - Changed the "Looks like your test died" message to
      "Looks like your test exited with $exit_code"
    - no_plan now only warns if given an argument.  There were a lot of people
      doing that, and it's a sensible mistake.  [test-more.googlecode.com 13]


0.81_01  Sat Sep  6 15:13:50 PDT 2008
    New Features
    * Adam Kennedy bribed me to add new_ok().  The price was one DEFCON
license key.
      [rt.cpan.org 8891]
    * TODO tests can now start and end with 'todo_start' and 'todo_end'
      Test::Builder methods. [rt.cpan.org 38018]
    * Added Test::Builder->in_todo() for a safe way to check if a test is inside a
      TODO block.  This allows TODO tests with no reason.
    * Added note() and explain() to both Test::More and Test::Builder.
      [rt.cpan.org 14764] [test-more.googlecode.com 3]

    Features Changed
    * Changed the message for extra tests run to show the number of tests run
rather than
      the number extra to avoid the user having to do mental math.
      [rt.cpan.org 7022]

    Bug fixes
    - using a relative path to perl broke tests              [rt.cpan.org 34050]
    - use_ok() broke $SIG{__DIE__} in the used module        [rt.cpan.org 34065]
    - diagnostics for isnt() were confusing on failure       [rt.cpan.org 33642]
    - warnings when MakeMaker's version contained _          [rt.cpan.org 33626]
    - add explicit test that non-integer plans die correctly [rt.cpan.org 28836]
      (Thanks to Hans Dieter Pearcey [confound] for fixing the above)
    - die if no_plan is given an argument                    [rt.cpan.org 27429]
