9 | \r |
10 | 0.38 [2008-06-27]\r |
11 | - Fix Cygwin releated problems in t/GetCurrentThreadId.t\r |

16 | \r |
17 | 0.36 [2008-04-17]\r |
18 | - Add typecasts for Win64 compilation\r |
19 | \r |
20 | 0.35 [2008-03-31]\r |
21 | Integrate changes from bleadperl:\r |
22 | - Silence Borland compiler warning (Steve Hay)\r |
23 | - Fix memory leak in Win32::GetOSVersion (Vincent Pit)\r |
24 | - Test Win32::GetCurrentThreadId on cygwin (Reini Urban, Steve Hay)\r |
25 | \r |
26 | 0.34 [2007-11-21]\r |
27 | - Document "WinVista" return value for Win32::GetOSName()\r |
28 | (Steve Hay).\r |
29 | \r |
30 | 0.33 [2007-11-12]\r |
31 | - Update version to 0.33 for Perl 5.10 release\r |
32 | - Add $^O test in Makefile.PL for CPAN Testers\r |
33 | - Use Win32::GetLastError() instead of $^E in t/Names.t for\r |
34 | cygwin compatibility (Jerry D. Hedden).\r |
35 | \r |
36 | 0.32 [2007-09-20]\r |
37 | - Additional #define's for older versions of VC++ (Dmitry Karasik).\r |
38 | - Win32::DomainName() doesn't return anything when the Workstation\r |
39 | service isn't running. Set $^E and adapt t/Names.t accordingly\r |
40 | (Steve Hay & Jerry D. Hedden).\r |
41 | - Fix t/Names.t to allow Win32::GetOSName() to return an empty\r |
42 | description as the 2nd return value (e.g. Vista without SP).\r |
43 | - Fix t/GetFileVersion.t for Perl 5.10\r |
44 | \r |
45 | 0.31 [2007-09-10]\r |
46 | - Apply Cygwin fixes from bleadperl (from Jerry D. Hedden).\r |
47 | - Make sure Win32::GetLongPathName() always returns drive\r |
48 | letters in uppercase (Jerry D. Hedden).\r |
49 | - Use uppercase environment variable names in t/Unicode.t\r |
50 | because the MSWin32 doesn't care, and Cygwin only works\r |
51 | with the uppercased version.\r |
52 | - new t/Names.t test (from Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni)\r |
53 | \r |
54 | 0.30 [2007-06-25]\r |
55 | - Fixed t/Unicode.t test for Cygwin (with help from Jerry D. Hedden).\r |
56 | - Fixed and documented Win32::GetShortPathName() to return undef\r |
57 | when the pathname doesn't exist (thanks to Steve Hay).\r |
58 | - Added t/GetShortPathName.t\r |
59 | \r |
60 | 0.29 [2007-05-17]\r |
61 | - Fixed to compile with Borland BCC (thanks to Steve Hay).\r |
62 | \r |
63 | 0.28_01 [2007-05-16]\r |
64 | - Increase version number as 0.28 was already used by an ActivePerl\r |
65 | release (for essentially 0.27 plus the Win32::IsAdminUser() change).\r |
66 | \r |
67 | - Add MODULE and PROTOTYPES directives to silence warnings from\r |
68 | newer versions of xsubpp.\r |
69 | \r |
70 | - Use the Cygwin codepath in Win32::GetFullPathName() when\r |
71 | PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS is not defined, because the other code\r |
72 | relies on the virtualization code in win32/vdir.h.\r |
73 | \r |
74 | 0.27_02 [2007-05-15]\r |
75 | - We need Windows 2000 or later for the Unicode support because\r |
76 | WC_NO_BEST_FIT_CHARS is not supported on Windows NT.\r |
77 | \r |
78 | - Fix Win32::GetFullPathName() on Windows NT to return an\r |
79 | empty file part if the original argument ends with a slash.\r |
80 | \r |
81 | 0.27_01 [2007-04-18]\r |
82 | - Update Win32::IsAdminUser() to use the IsUserAnAdmin() function\r |
83 | in shell32.dll when available. On Windows Vista this will only\r |
84 | return true if the process is running with elevated privileges\r |
85 | and not just when the owner of the process is a member of the\r |
86 | "Administrators" group.\r |
87 | \r |
88 | - Win32::ExpandEnvironmentStrings() may return a Unicode string\r |
89 | (a string containing characters outside the system codepage)\r |
90 | \r |
91 | - new Win32::GetANSIPathName() function returns a pathname in\r |
92 | a form containing only characters from the system codepage\r |
93 | \r |
94 | - Win32::GetCwd() will return an ANSI version of the directory\r |
95 | name if the long name contains characters outside the system\r |
96 | codepage.\r |
97 | \r |
98 | - Win32::GetFolderPath() will return an ANSI pathname. Call\r |
99 | Win32::GetLongPathName() to get the canonical Unicode\r |
100 | representation.\r |
101 | \r |
102 | - Win32::GetFullPathName() will return an ANSI pathname. Call\r |
103 | Win32::GetLongPathName() to get the canonical Unicode\r |
104 | representation.\r |
105 | \r |
106 | - Win32::GetLongPathName() may return a Unicode path name.\r |
107 | Call Win32::GetANSIPathName() to get a representation using\r |
108 | only characters from the system codepage.\r |
109 | \r |
110 | - Win32::LoginName() may return a Unicode string.\r |
111 | \r |
112 | - new Win32::OutputDebugString() function sends a string to\r |
113 | the debugger.\r |
114 | \r |
115 | - new Win32::GetCurrentThreadId() function returns the thread\r |
116 | id (to complement the process id in $$).\r |
117 | \r |
118 | - new Win32::CreateDirectory() creates a new directory. The\r |
119 | name of the directory may contain Unicode characters outside\r |
120 | the system codepage.\r |
121 | \r |
122 | - new Win32::CreateFile() creates a new file. The name of the\r |
123 | file may contain Unicode characters outside the system codepage.\r |
124 | \r |
125 | \r |
126 | 0.27 [2007-03-07]\r |
127 | - Extracted from the libwin32 distribution to simplify maintenance\r |
128 | because Win32 is a dual-life core module since 5.8.4.\r |
129 | \r |
130 | - Win32.pm and Win32.xs updated to version in bleadperl.\r |
131 | This includes all the Win32::* function from win32/win32.c\r |
132 | in core Perl, except for Win32::SetChildShowWindows().\r |
133 | \r |
134 | - Install into 'perl' directory instead of 'site' for Perl 5.8.4\r |
135 | and later.\r |
136 | \r |
137 | - Add some simple tests.\r |
