33 | 2.000_12 16 April 2006 |
34 | |
35 | * Fixed gzread to zap the output buffer to an empty string when zero |
36 | bytes are requested. This matches the behaviour of C::Z 1.x |

42 | 2.000_10 13 March 2006 |
43 | |
44 | * Changed gzread so that its behaviour matches C::Z::gzread 1.x if it |
45 | is called after eof. In this case it will write an empty string |
46 | into the output parameter. This change is solely for backward |
47 | compatability reasons. |

109 | |
5993747c |
110 | 1.37 - 12 August 2005 |
111 | |
112 | * Change to t/03examples.t for VMS from Abe Timmerman |
113 | |

06edba15 |
124 | 1.35 - 16 July 2005 |
125 | |
126 | * Updated zlib source to 1.2.3 |
127 | |
128 | * Fixed problem with where two calls to gzclose would hang the debugger. |
129 | See https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13789 |
130 | |
131 | * Added code from Alexey Tourbin to use XSLoader when available, |
132 | and DynaLoader otherwise. |
133 | |
134 | * Documented that the compress & uncompress functions were not |
135 | the same as the Unix utilities of the same name. |
136 | |

f4c6fd49 |
144 | 1.34 - 30 January 2005 |
145 | |
146 | * Fixed typo in the README |
147 | |
148 | * Fixed examples.t on Win32 where paths have embedded whitespace. |
149 | |
150 | * Fix for Cygwin and core integration from Jos I. Boumans |
151 | |
152 | * Upgrade zlib source to 1.2.2 |
153 | |
154 | 1.33 - 14 January 2004 |
155 | |
156 | * Reworked Makefile.PL to avoid creating a private copy of zlib. |
157 | This both simplifies the build, plus it makes life easier for VMS. |
158 | |
159 | * Patches for Makefile.PL to get it to work on VMS supplied by |
160 | Craig A. Berry. |
161 | |
162 | * memGunzip has very slow on FreeBSD. Turns out to be down to |
163 | the way realloc works on FreeBSD. Changed both inflate & deflate |
164 | to use exponentially increasing buffer sizes when they need to |
165 | realloc. Thanks to Peter Jeremy for the lowdown on FreeBSD |
166 | memory allocation. |
167 | |
168 | 1.32 - 26 November 2003 |
169 | |
170 | * Steve Hay reported a problem on rt.cpan.org with Windows and |
171 | MSCV++ 6.0 where the source from the zlib directory was getting |
172 | installed with the rest of the module. |
173 | https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1741 |
174 | |
175 | This has been fixed by renaming the "zlib" directory to "zlib-src" |
176 | thus avoiding a conflict with the name of this Perl module. |
177 | |
178 | * Fixed a bug in the inflate method where the input buffer is an |
179 | lvalue (via substr). Problem & solution reported by Salvador Fandiqo. |
180 | |
181 | * Tightened up the logic in Makefile.PL when BUILD_ZLIB is |
182 | True. Issue spotted by Ralf S. Engelschall. |
183 | |
184 | 1.31 - 29 October 2003 |
185 | |
186 | * Reinstated the creation of .bak files - $^I seems to need a |
642e522c |
187 | backup file on Windows. For OpenVMS, the extenstion _bak is used. |
f4c6fd49 |
188 | |
189 | 1.30 - 28 October 2003 |
190 | |
191 | * Bundled a sub-set of the zlib source with the module and changed |
192 | the default make behaviour to build with the included zlib source. |
193 | The previous behaviour of using a pre-built zlib library is |
194 | still available for those that want it. |
195 | |
196 | * Added prototypes to the subs in Zlib.pm that didn't already have |
197 | them. Patch from Ed Avis. |
198 | |
199 | * No .bak files are created by Makefile.PL any more - this keep |
200 | distclean much happier. Patch suggested by Ed Avis. |
201 | This also fixes a similar problem reported by Dr. Martin Zinser |
202 | on OpenVMS. |
203 | |
204 | * Documentation for some of the gz functions updated. |
205 | |
206 | * Format strings modified in DispStream to keep OpenVMS happy. |
207 | Problem reported by Dr. Martin Zinser. |
208 | |
209 | |
210 | 1.22 - 17 June 2003 |
211 | |
212 | * Makefile.PL now displays a warning about not installing |
213 | Compress::Zlib via the CPAN shell. |
214 | |
215 | * Fix to allow intermingling of gzread & gzreadline - patch |
216 | supplied by Doug Perham. |
217 | |
218 | * memGunzip will silently now work if the gzip trailer is |
219 | missing. Some HTTP Origin Servers seem to leave it out. |
220 | |
221 | 1.21 - 28 April 2003 |
222 | |
223 | * Tests 148 & 150 from t/02zlib.t were failing on redhat 9. |
224 | |
225 | * Added a few words about the problems with Mac OS X to the README file. |
226 | |
227 | 1.20 - 4 April 2003 |
228 | |
229 | * Fixed bug in gzopen where $gzerrno wasn't being set correctly. |
230 | The symptom was $gzerrno was set to Z_MEM_ERROR although the file |
231 | was opened ok. If gzopen failed, $gzerrno was being set correctly. |
232 | This problem wasn't spotted before because the typical test |
233 | to determine whether gzopen passed or failed was to check its |
234 | return value. |
235 | |
236 | 1.19 - 31 October 2002 |
237 | |
238 | * fixed a problem with t/02zlib.t that was failing with redhat 8. |
239 | |
240 | 1.18 - 24 October 2002 |
241 | |
242 | * fixed a Win32 problem in t/02zlib.t by changing sysread to read. |
243 | |
244 | * zlib 1.0.5 & older doesn't have gzsetparams & gzeof. Added a new |
245 | variable to config.in to flag an old version of zlib. Split |
246 | out the tests for gzsetparams into t/05gzsetp.t |
247 | |
642e522c |
248 | 1.17 - 23 May 2002 |
f4c6fd49 |
249 | |
250 | * Moved the test to check the versions of libz & zlib.h into a separate |
251 | file and added troubleshooting notes to README. |
252 | |
253 | * In gzopen, only attempt to call "tell" for normal files. |
254 | |
642e522c |
255 | * Fixed to work in taint mode. |
256 | |
f4c6fd49 |
257 | * Broke changes out of README into Changes file. |
258 | |
259 | * Replaced internal use of Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH symbol with Z_SYNC_FLUSH. |
260 | zlib.h says /* will be removed, use Z_SYNC_FLUSH instead */ |
261 | |
f4c6fd49 |
262 | 1.16 - 13 December 2001 |
263 | |
264 | * Fixed bug in Makefile.PL that stopped "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=..." |
265 | working. |
266 | |
267 | 1.15 - 4th December 2001 |
268 | |
269 | * Changes a few types to get the module to build on 64-bit Solaris |
270 | |
271 | * Changed the up/downgrade logic to default to the older constructs, and |
272 | to only call a downgrade if specifically requested. Some older versions |
273 | of Perl were having problems with the in-place edit. |
274 | |
275 | * added the new XS constant code. |
276 | |
277 | 1.14 - 27th August 2001 |
278 | |
279 | * Memory overwrite bug fixed in "inflate". Kudos to Rob Simons for |
280 | reporting the bug and to Anton Berezin for fixing it for me. |
281 | |
282 | 1.13 - 31st June 2001 |
283 | |
642e522c |
284 | * Make sure config.in is consistant when released. |
f4c6fd49 |
285 | |
286 | 1.12 - 28th April 2001 |
287 | |
288 | * Modified Makefile.PL to only enable the warnings pragma if |
289 | using perl 5.6.1 or better. |
290 | |
291 | 1.11 - 17th February 2001 |
292 | |
293 | * Added logic in Makefile.PL to toggle between using $^W and |
294 | the warnings pragma in the module. |
295 | |
296 | * The module, the examples & the test harness are now all strict |
297 | & warnings clean. |
298 | |
299 | 1.10 - 5th February 2001 |
300 | |
301 | * fixed a bug in memGunzip. Used Z_ERR instead of Z_DATA_ERROR. |
302 | |
303 | 1.09 - 15th January 2001 |
304 | |
305 | * Silenced a few compiler warnings. |
306 | |
307 | * Updated zlib home site in README & Zlib.pm to www.info-zip.org |
308 | |
309 | * Minor typo in Zlib.pm - a link used AUTHORS instead of AUTHOR |
310 | -- spotted by Frank Martini. |
311 | |
312 | * Mention Archive::Zip |
313 | |
314 | * added memGunzip. This is largely based on code provided by Jim Leonard. |
315 | |
316 | * $deflate->flush can now take an optional parameter. Valid |
317 | values are Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH, Z_FULL_FLUSH |
318 | and Z_FINISH. The default is Z_FINISH. |
319 | |
320 | 1.08 - 6 Jan 2000 |
321 | |
322 | * uncompress was clobbering its input parameter. Now it doesn't. |
323 | This bug was spotted by Deven T. Corzine. |
324 | |
325 | * If a variable that only ever contained a number was given |
326 | to compress or deflate, it would not be compressed properly. Now |
327 | it will be coerced to a string and then compressed. This bug |
328 | was spotted by Deven T. Corzine. |
329 | |
330 | 1.07 - 27 Nov 1999 |
331 | |
332 | * ANSI-ified the static functions in Zlib.xs |
333 | |
334 | * Added the ability to build zlib along with the module. |
335 | This feature is 90% based on a Makefile provided by Gurusamy |
336 | Sarathy. |
337 | |
338 | 1.06 - 20 Sep 1999 |
339 | |
340 | * Fixed a nasty problem where inflate could truncate the data |
341 | returned. Thanks to Douglas Thomson <dougt@mugc.cc.monash.edu.au> |
342 | for both spotting the problem and fixing the bug. |
343 | |
344 | * Added a note about the undocumented features in zlib that are |
345 | required when accessing zip files. |
346 | |
347 | * gzclose will now get called automatically when the gzip object is |
348 | destroyed. |
349 | |
350 | 1.05 - 3 June 1999 |
351 | |
352 | * Previous release used newSVpvn, which doesn't exist in 5.004_04 |
353 | or earlier. Changed to use newSVpv instead. |
354 | |
355 | * The module needs Perl 5.004 or better, so updated the version |
356 | checking in Zlib.pm and Makefile.PL |
357 | |
358 | 1.04 - 27 May 1999 |
359 | |
360 | * Bug 19990527.001: compress(undef) core dumps -- Fixed. |
361 | |
362 | 1.03 - 17 Mar 1999 |
363 | |
364 | * Updated to use the new PL_ symbols. |
365 | Means the module can be built with Perl 5.005_5* |
366 | |
367 | 1.02 - 31 Jan 1999 |
368 | |
369 | * The return codes for gzread, gzreadline and gzwrite were |
370 | documented incorrectly as returning a status code. |
371 | |
372 | * The test harness was missing a "gzclose". This caused problem |
373 | showed up on an amiga. Thanks to Erik van Roode for reporting |
374 | this one. |
375 | |
376 | * Patched zlib.t for OS/2. Thanks to Ilya Zakharevich for the patch. |
377 | |
378 | 1.01 - 23 Nov 1997 |
379 | |
380 | * A number of fixes to the test suite and the example scripts to |
381 | allow them to work under win32. All courtesy of Gurusamy |
382 | Sarathy. |
383 | |
384 | 1.00 - 14 Nov 1997 |
385 | |
386 | * Fixed crc32 & adler32. They were very broken. |
387 | |
388 | * The following functions can now take a scalar reference in |
389 | place of a scalar for their buffer parameters: |
390 | |
391 | compress |
392 | uncompress |
393 | deflate |
394 | inflate |
395 | crc32 |
396 | adler32 |
397 | |
398 | This should mean applications that make use of the module don't |
399 | have to copy large buffers around. |
400 | |
401 | |
402 | * Normally the inflate method consumes I<all> of the input buffer |
403 | before returning. The exception to this is when inflate detects |
404 | the end of the stream (Z_STREAM_END). In this case the input |
405 | buffer need not be completely consumed. To allow processing of |
406 | file formats that embed a deflation stream (e.g. zip, gzip), |
407 | the inflate method now sets the buffer parameter to be what |
408 | remains after inflation. |
409 | |
410 | When the return status is Z_STREAM_END, it will be what remains |
411 | of the buffer (if any) after deflation. When the status is Z_OK |
412 | it will be an empty string. |
413 | |
414 | This change means that the buffer parameter must be a lvalue. |
415 | |
416 | * Fixed crc32 and adler32. They were both very broken. |
417 | |
418 | * Added the Compress::Zlib::memGzip function. |
419 | |
420 | 0.5 - Confirmed that no changes were necessary for zlib 1.0.3, or 1.0.4. |
421 | |
422 | The optional parameters for deflateInit and inflateInit can now |
423 | be specified as an associative array in addition to a reference |
424 | to an associative array. They can also accept the -Name |
425 | syntax. |
426 | |
427 | gzopen can now optionally take a reference to an open |
428 | filehandle in place of a filename. In this case it will call |
429 | gzdopen. |
430 | |
431 | Added gzstream example script. |
432 | |
433 | 0.4 - Upgrade to support zlib 0.99 |
434 | |
435 | Added dictionary interface. |
436 | |
437 | Fixed bug in gzreadline - previously it would keep returning |
438 | the same buffer. This bug was reported by Helmut Jarausch |
439 | |
440 | Removed dependency to zutil.h and so dropped support for |
441 | |
442 | DEF_MEM_LEVEL (use MAX_MEM_LEVEL instead) |
443 | DEF_WBITS (use MAX_WBITS instead) |
444 | |
445 | 0.3 - Added prototype specification. |
446 | |
447 | 0.2 - Fixed a minor allocation problem in Zlib.xs |
448 | |
449 | 0.1 - first alpha release. 2nd October 1995 |
