18 | * Fixed gzread to zap the output buffer to an empty string when zero |
19 | bytes are requested. This matches the behaviour of C::Z 1.x |

26 | |
27 | * Changed gzread so that its behaviour matches C::Z::gzread 1.x if it |
28 | is called after eof. In this case it will write an empty string |
29 | into the output parameter. This change is solely for backward |
30 | compatability reasons. |

06edba15 |
107 | 1.35 - 16 July 2005 |
108 | |
109 | * Updated zlib source to 1.2.3 |
110 | |
111 | * Fixed problem with where two calls to gzclose would hang the debugger. |
112 | See https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13789 |
113 | |
114 | * Added code from Alexey Tourbin to use XSLoader when available, |
115 | and DynaLoader otherwise. |
116 | |
117 | * Documented that the compress & uncompress functions were not |
118 | the same as the Unix utilities of the same name. |
119 | |

127 | 1.34 - 30 January 2005 |
128 | |
129 | * Fixed typo in the README |
130 | |
131 | * Fixed examples.t on Win32 where paths have embedded whitespace. |
132 | |
133 | * Fix for Cygwin and core integration from Jos I. Boumans |
134 | |
135 | * Upgrade zlib source to 1.2.2 |
136 | |
137 | 1.33 - 14 January 2004 |
138 | |
139 | * Reworked Makefile.PL to avoid creating a private copy of zlib. |
140 | This both simplifies the build, plus it makes life easier for VMS. |
141 | |
142 | * Patches for Makefile.PL to get it to work on VMS supplied by |
143 | Craig A. Berry. |
144 | |
145 | * memGunzip has very slow on FreeBSD. Turns out to be down to |
146 | the way realloc works on FreeBSD. Changed both inflate & deflate |
147 | to use exponentially increasing buffer sizes when they need to |
148 | realloc. Thanks to Peter Jeremy for the lowdown on FreeBSD |
149 | memory allocation. |
150 | |
151 | 1.32 - 26 November 2003 |
152 | |
153 | * Steve Hay reported a problem on rt.cpan.org with Windows and |
154 | MSCV++ 6.0 where the source from the zlib directory was getting |
155 | installed with the rest of the module. |
156 | https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1741 |
157 | |
158 | This has been fixed by renaming the "zlib" directory to "zlib-src" |
159 | thus avoiding a conflict with the name of this Perl module. |
160 | |
161 | * Fixed a bug in the inflate method where the input buffer is an |
162 | lvalue (via substr). Problem & solution reported by Salvador Fandiqo. |
163 | |
164 | * Tightened up the logic in Makefile.PL when BUILD_ZLIB is |
165 | True. Issue spotted by Ralf S. Engelschall. |
166 | |
167 | 1.31 - 29 October 2003 |
168 | |
169 | * Reinstated the creation of .bak files - $^I seems to need a |
642e522c |
170 | backup file on Windows. For OpenVMS, the extenstion _bak is used. |
f4c6fd49 |
171 | |
172 | 1.30 - 28 October 2003 |
173 | |
174 | * Bundled a sub-set of the zlib source with the module and changed |
175 | the default make behaviour to build with the included zlib source. |
176 | The previous behaviour of using a pre-built zlib library is |
177 | still available for those that want it. |
178 | |
179 | * Added prototypes to the subs in Zlib.pm that didn't already have |
180 | them. Patch from Ed Avis. |
181 | |
182 | * No .bak files are created by Makefile.PL any more - this keep |
183 | distclean much happier. Patch suggested by Ed Avis. |
184 | This also fixes a similar problem reported by Dr. Martin Zinser |
185 | on OpenVMS. |
186 | |
187 | * Documentation for some of the gz functions updated. |
188 | |
189 | * Format strings modified in DispStream to keep OpenVMS happy. |
190 | Problem reported by Dr. Martin Zinser. |
191 | |
192 | |
193 | 1.22 - 17 June 2003 |
194 | |
195 | * Makefile.PL now displays a warning about not installing |
196 | Compress::Zlib via the CPAN shell. |
197 | |
198 | * Fix to allow intermingling of gzread & gzreadline - patch |
199 | supplied by Doug Perham. |
200 | |
201 | * memGunzip will silently now work if the gzip trailer is |
202 | missing. Some HTTP Origin Servers seem to leave it out. |
203 | |
204 | 1.21 - 28 April 2003 |
205 | |
206 | * Tests 148 & 150 from t/02zlib.t were failing on redhat 9. |
207 | |
208 | * Added a few words about the problems with Mac OS X to the README file. |
209 | |
210 | 1.20 - 4 April 2003 |
211 | |
212 | * Fixed bug in gzopen where $gzerrno wasn't being set correctly. |
213 | The symptom was $gzerrno was set to Z_MEM_ERROR although the file |
214 | was opened ok. If gzopen failed, $gzerrno was being set correctly. |
215 | This problem wasn't spotted before because the typical test |
216 | to determine whether gzopen passed or failed was to check its |
217 | return value. |
218 | |
219 | 1.19 - 31 October 2002 |
220 | |
221 | * fixed a problem with t/02zlib.t that was failing with redhat 8. |
222 | |
223 | 1.18 - 24 October 2002 |
224 | |
225 | * fixed a Win32 problem in t/02zlib.t by changing sysread to read. |
226 | |
227 | * zlib 1.0.5 & older doesn't have gzsetparams & gzeof. Added a new |
228 | variable to config.in to flag an old version of zlib. Split |
229 | out the tests for gzsetparams into t/05gzsetp.t |
230 | |
642e522c |
231 | 1.17 - 23 May 2002 |
f4c6fd49 |
232 | |
233 | * Moved the test to check the versions of libz & zlib.h into a separate |
234 | file and added troubleshooting notes to README. |
235 | |
236 | * In gzopen, only attempt to call "tell" for normal files. |
237 | |
642e522c |
238 | * Fixed to work in taint mode. |
239 | |
f4c6fd49 |
240 | * Broke changes out of README into Changes file. |
241 | |
242 | * Replaced internal use of Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH symbol with Z_SYNC_FLUSH. |
243 | zlib.h says /* will be removed, use Z_SYNC_FLUSH instead */ |
244 | |
f4c6fd49 |
245 | 1.16 - 13 December 2001 |
246 | |
247 | * Fixed bug in Makefile.PL that stopped "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=..." |
248 | working. |
249 | |
250 | 1.15 - 4th December 2001 |
251 | |
252 | * Changes a few types to get the module to build on 64-bit Solaris |
253 | |
254 | * Changed the up/downgrade logic to default to the older constructs, and |
255 | to only call a downgrade if specifically requested. Some older versions |
256 | of Perl were having problems with the in-place edit. |
257 | |
258 | * added the new XS constant code. |
259 | |
260 | 1.14 - 27th August 2001 |
261 | |
262 | * Memory overwrite bug fixed in "inflate". Kudos to Rob Simons for |
263 | reporting the bug and to Anton Berezin for fixing it for me. |
264 | |
265 | 1.13 - 31st June 2001 |
266 | |
642e522c |
267 | * Make sure config.in is consistant when released. |
f4c6fd49 |
268 | |
269 | 1.12 - 28th April 2001 |
270 | |
271 | * Modified Makefile.PL to only enable the warnings pragma if |
272 | using perl 5.6.1 or better. |
273 | |
274 | 1.11 - 17th February 2001 |
275 | |
276 | * Added logic in Makefile.PL to toggle between using $^W and |
277 | the warnings pragma in the module. |
278 | |
279 | * The module, the examples & the test harness are now all strict |
280 | & warnings clean. |
281 | |
282 | 1.10 - 5th February 2001 |
283 | |
284 | * fixed a bug in memGunzip. Used Z_ERR instead of Z_DATA_ERROR. |
285 | |
286 | 1.09 - 15th January 2001 |
287 | |
288 | * Silenced a few compiler warnings. |
289 | |
290 | * Updated zlib home site in README & Zlib.pm to www.info-zip.org |
291 | |
292 | * Minor typo in Zlib.pm - a link used AUTHORS instead of AUTHOR |
293 | -- spotted by Frank Martini. |
294 | |
295 | * Mention Archive::Zip |
296 | |
297 | * added memGunzip. This is largely based on code provided by Jim Leonard. |
298 | |
299 | * $deflate->flush can now take an optional parameter. Valid |
300 | values are Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH, Z_FULL_FLUSH |
301 | and Z_FINISH. The default is Z_FINISH. |
302 | |
303 | 1.08 - 6 Jan 2000 |
304 | |
305 | * uncompress was clobbering its input parameter. Now it doesn't. |
306 | This bug was spotted by Deven T. Corzine. |
307 | |
308 | * If a variable that only ever contained a number was given |
309 | to compress or deflate, it would not be compressed properly. Now |
310 | it will be coerced to a string and then compressed. This bug |
311 | was spotted by Deven T. Corzine. |
312 | |
313 | 1.07 - 27 Nov 1999 |
314 | |
315 | * ANSI-ified the static functions in Zlib.xs |
316 | |
317 | * Added the ability to build zlib along with the module. |
318 | This feature is 90% based on a Makefile provided by Gurusamy |
319 | Sarathy. |
320 | |
321 | 1.06 - 20 Sep 1999 |
322 | |
323 | * Fixed a nasty problem where inflate could truncate the data |
324 | returned. Thanks to Douglas Thomson <dougt@mugc.cc.monash.edu.au> |
325 | for both spotting the problem and fixing the bug. |
326 | |
327 | * Added a note about the undocumented features in zlib that are |
328 | required when accessing zip files. |
329 | |
330 | * gzclose will now get called automatically when the gzip object is |
331 | destroyed. |
332 | |
333 | 1.05 - 3 June 1999 |
334 | |
335 | * Previous release used newSVpvn, which doesn't exist in 5.004_04 |
336 | or earlier. Changed to use newSVpv instead. |
337 | |
338 | * The module needs Perl 5.004 or better, so updated the version |
339 | checking in Zlib.pm and Makefile.PL |
340 | |
341 | 1.04 - 27 May 1999 |
342 | |
343 | * Bug 19990527.001: compress(undef) core dumps -- Fixed. |
344 | |
345 | 1.03 - 17 Mar 1999 |
346 | |
347 | * Updated to use the new PL_ symbols. |
348 | Means the module can be built with Perl 5.005_5* |
349 | |
350 | 1.02 - 31 Jan 1999 |
351 | |
352 | * The return codes for gzread, gzreadline and gzwrite were |
353 | documented incorrectly as returning a status code. |
354 | |
355 | * The test harness was missing a "gzclose". This caused problem |
356 | showed up on an amiga. Thanks to Erik van Roode for reporting |
357 | this one. |
358 | |
359 | * Patched zlib.t for OS/2. Thanks to Ilya Zakharevich for the patch. |
360 | |
361 | 1.01 - 23 Nov 1997 |
362 | |
363 | * A number of fixes to the test suite and the example scripts to |
364 | allow them to work under win32. All courtesy of Gurusamy |
365 | Sarathy. |
366 | |
367 | 1.00 - 14 Nov 1997 |
368 | |
369 | * Fixed crc32 & adler32. They were very broken. |
370 | |
371 | * The following functions can now take a scalar reference in |
372 | place of a scalar for their buffer parameters: |
373 | |
374 | compress |
375 | uncompress |
376 | deflate |
377 | inflate |
378 | crc32 |
379 | adler32 |
380 | |
381 | This should mean applications that make use of the module don't |
382 | have to copy large buffers around. |
383 | |
384 | |
385 | * Normally the inflate method consumes I<all> of the input buffer |
386 | before returning. The exception to this is when inflate detects |
387 | the end of the stream (Z_STREAM_END). In this case the input |
388 | buffer need not be completely consumed. To allow processing of |
389 | file formats that embed a deflation stream (e.g. zip, gzip), |
390 | the inflate method now sets the buffer parameter to be what |
391 | remains after inflation. |
392 | |
393 | When the return status is Z_STREAM_END, it will be what remains |
394 | of the buffer (if any) after deflation. When the status is Z_OK |
395 | it will be an empty string. |
396 | |
397 | This change means that the buffer parameter must be a lvalue. |
398 | |
399 | * Fixed crc32 and adler32. They were both very broken. |
400 | |
401 | * Added the Compress::Zlib::memGzip function. |
402 | |
403 | 0.5 - Confirmed that no changes were necessary for zlib 1.0.3, or 1.0.4. |
404 | |
405 | The optional parameters for deflateInit and inflateInit can now |
406 | be specified as an associative array in addition to a reference |
407 | to an associative array. They can also accept the -Name |
408 | syntax. |
409 | |
410 | gzopen can now optionally take a reference to an open |
411 | filehandle in place of a filename. In this case it will call |
412 | gzdopen. |
413 | |
414 | Added gzstream example script. |
415 | |
416 | 0.4 - Upgrade to support zlib 0.99 |
417 | |
418 | Added dictionary interface. |
419 | |
420 | Fixed bug in gzreadline - previously it would keep returning |
421 | the same buffer. This bug was reported by Helmut Jarausch |
422 | |
423 | Removed dependency to zutil.h and so dropped support for |
424 | |
425 | DEF_MEM_LEVEL (use MAX_MEM_LEVEL instead) |
426 | DEF_WBITS (use MAX_WBITS instead) |
427 | |
428 | 0.3 - Added prototype specification. |
429 | |
430 | 0.2 - Fixed a minor allocation problem in Zlib.xs |
431 | |
432 | 0.1 - first alpha release. 2nd October 1995 |
