[Expectperl-discuss] Prerelease Expect v1.11

[Roland G. <r.g...@xs...>]

Hi Friends and Netizens!

I intend to release Expect v1.11 next week.  As there is no
testsuite yet, I thought I'd post the version here and ask
you to try it out as beta-testers so I can clean up remaining
problems.  Find the prerelease version attached.

Also, if you have small scripts or code snippets that may
be suitable for a testsuite, please send them to me so I
can finally get some tests written.
 
Thanks for participating!

Roland


Bugs fixed (hopefully):

- expect() didn't return the correct error state upon EOF

- soft_close() was re-reading the filehandle even when an EOF
  had already been detected, resulting in a very long delay.

- exp_continue() returned a value that got truncated with certain
  perl versions on certain systems

- max_accum now finally really restricts the match-buffer-size

Features added:

- some diagnosis messages now use cluck to print a stacktrace

- Expect now has it's own print() so we can show what's getting
  sent to the spawned program when exp_internal is set.

- SIGWINCH is now propagated to child processes; unfortunately 
  this is only the first part to make resizing a window work
  for the underlying application
