I've released berrybrew version 1.13.

The most notable change is the addition of the register command, which allows you to copy/move existing Strawberry Perl portable editions from your local/remote systems and have them operate as custom instances within berrybrew. Before registering a new instance:

> berrybrew available

The following Strawberry Perls are available:

    5.26.0_64
    5.26.0_64_PDL
    5.26.0_32
    5.24.1_64       [installed] *
    5.24.1_64_PDL
    5.24.1_32
    5.22.3_64
    5.22.3_64_PDL
    5.22.3_32
    5.20.3_64
    5.20.3_64_PDL
    5.20.3_32
    5.18.4_64
    5.18.4_32
    5.16.3_64
    5.16.3_32
    5.14.4_64
    5.14.4_32
    5.12.3_32
    5.10.1_32
    5.8.9_32

* Currently using

Now, copy your new instance into the instance directory (by default c:/berrybrew), then register it. I've used new_instance as the example instance directory in this case:

> berrybrew register new_instance

> berrybrew available

The following Strawberry Perls are available:

    5.26.0_64
    5.26.0_64_PDL
    5.26.0_32

    new_instance    [custom] [installed]

* Currently using

That instance can now be used under berrybrew.

Other notable changes:

• pryrt/PETERCJ sent in a very large pull request that did a sweeping overhaul on the unit test framework which makes it much more flexible and reliable (thanks!)
• added new exception handling for certain edge cases
• documentation updates
• closing of several minor issues

Because I took over maintanership, I will be updating dnmfarrell's berrybrew repo in the coming days to bring it up to speed.
