<p><i>After the first month of work, in his grant, Chad reports the following news:</i></p><br /><div>I
have been working with Ricardo Signes, and other members of the
community to fine-tune the project Out of these discussions have come the
following developments:</div><div><ul><li> Test-Stream is being split into 2 parts, only 1 part applies to this grant, and it is going to be called 'Test2'.</li><li>Several parts of Test-Stream (now Test2) have been changed based on feedback</li><li>Several packages have been reorganized or renamed.</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div>This
makes the name of the grant ironically incorrect as Test2 is the part
of Test-Stream that applies, and it is now a separate package.</div><div><br /></div><div>Other developments on the grant:</div><div><ul><li>I have been devoting extra time over the Christmas holiday to the grant.</li><li>I have created a set of patches to blead that bring Test2+Test-Simple in, these can be found here: <a href="https://rt.perl.org/SelfService/Display.html?id=127000">https://rt.perl.org/SelfService/Display.html?id=127000</a></li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div>I have also progressed on the punch-list items, which can be seen in this set of tickets: <a href="https://github.com/Test-More/test-more/labels/Test-Stream">https://github.com/Test-More/test-more/labels/Test-Stream</a></div><div><br /></div><div>I have also published tools and results for comparing the blead test suite output between the new and old versions: <a href="https://github.com/exodist/blead_stream_diff">https://github.com/exodist/blead_stream_diff</a>.
This work has already produced results and found a couple places where
TAP output differed unintentionally, these bugs have all been fixed.</div><div><br /></div><div>At
this point the punch-list items are largely blocked on external input
from other people who have volunteered to verify my work and findings.</div>
