Changes in 1.4

Enhancements

Test suite is disabled by default.

There is a well intentioned effort to automatically test all new submissions to CPAN (see http://testers.cpan.org). Unfortunately, the AFS-Command package can't be tested automatically, since it requires a fair amount of configuration. You have to specify a cell name, some fileserver names and partitions, etc.

By default, the tests will all be skipped if the configured cell name in the CONFIG file has not been modified, thus allowing the automated CPAN testing to continue, automatically, without the author getting a bunch of bogus emails.

Bugs

Volume status value inconsistency

!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!

This change is NOT backwards compatible with previous releases, so verify that your code handles the new, consistent values correctly.

The ``status'' field returned from either vos->examine() or vos->listvol(), in previous releases, had inconsistent values. When a volume is online, the status would be one of: 

    online
    On-line

Likewise, when offline, one of: 

    offline
    Off-line

These values have all been normalized to: online, offline

AFS::Command::VOS->examine parses busy and offline messages

When a volume is busy or can not be attached, ``vos examine'' will be unable to display the volume headers. Instead, a one line message is printed, such as one of the following: 

    **** Volume 123456789 is busy ****
    **** Could not attach volume 123456789 ****

The examine method now parses these, and the AFS::Object::VolumeHeader object will have only the 'id' and 'status' attributes. Previously, those lines were incorrectly parsed and the 'name' attribute set to '****', which is pretty obviously wrong.
