63 | 1.35 - 16 July 2005 |
64 | |
65 | * Updated zlib source to 1.2.3 |
66 | |

f4c6fd49 |
83 | 1.34 - 30 January 2005 |
84 | |
85 | * Fixed typo in the README |
86 | |
87 | * Fixed examples.t on Win32 where paths have embedded whitespace. |
88 | |
89 | * Fix for Cygwin and core integration from Jos I. Boumans |
90 | |
91 | * Upgrade zlib source to 1.2.2 |
92 | |
93 | 1.33 - 14 January 2004 |
94 | |
95 | * Reworked Makefile.PL to avoid creating a private copy of zlib. |
96 | This both simplifies the build, plus it makes life easier for VMS. |
97 | |
98 | * Patches for Makefile.PL to get it to work on VMS supplied by |
99 | Craig A. Berry. |
100 | |
101 | * memGunzip has very slow on FreeBSD. Turns out to be down to |
102 | the way realloc works on FreeBSD. Changed both inflate & deflate |
103 | to use exponentially increasing buffer sizes when they need to |
104 | realloc. Thanks to Peter Jeremy for the lowdown on FreeBSD |
105 | memory allocation. |
106 | |
107 | 1.32 - 26 November 2003 |
108 | |
109 | * Steve Hay reported a problem on rt.cpan.org with Windows and |
110 | MSCV++ 6.0 where the source from the zlib directory was getting |
111 | installed with the rest of the module. |
112 | https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1741 |
113 | |
114 | This has been fixed by renaming the "zlib" directory to "zlib-src" |
115 | thus avoiding a conflict with the name of this Perl module. |
116 | |
117 | * Fixed a bug in the inflate method where the input buffer is an |
118 | lvalue (via substr). Problem & solution reported by Salvador Fandiqo. |
119 | |
120 | * Tightened up the logic in Makefile.PL when BUILD_ZLIB is |
121 | True. Issue spotted by Ralf S. Engelschall. |
122 | |
123 | 1.31 - 29 October 2003 |
124 | |
125 | * Reinstated the creation of .bak files - $^I seems to need a |
642e522c |
126 | backup file on Windows. For OpenVMS, the extenstion _bak is used. |
f4c6fd49 |
127 | |
128 | 1.30 - 28 October 2003 |
129 | |
130 | * Bundled a sub-set of the zlib source with the module and changed |
131 | the default make behaviour to build with the included zlib source. |
132 | The previous behaviour of using a pre-built zlib library is |
133 | still available for those that want it. |
134 | |
135 | * Added prototypes to the subs in Zlib.pm that didn't already have |
136 | them. Patch from Ed Avis. |
137 | |
138 | * No .bak files are created by Makefile.PL any more - this keep |
139 | distclean much happier. Patch suggested by Ed Avis. |
140 | This also fixes a similar problem reported by Dr. Martin Zinser |
141 | on OpenVMS. |
142 | |
143 | * Documentation for some of the gz functions updated. |
144 | |
145 | * Format strings modified in DispStream to keep OpenVMS happy. |
146 | Problem reported by Dr. Martin Zinser. |
147 | |
148 | |
149 | 1.22 - 17 June 2003 |
150 | |
151 | * Makefile.PL now displays a warning about not installing |
152 | Compress::Zlib via the CPAN shell. |
153 | |
154 | * Fix to allow intermingling of gzread & gzreadline - patch |
155 | supplied by Doug Perham. |
156 | |
157 | * memGunzip will silently now work if the gzip trailer is |
158 | missing. Some HTTP Origin Servers seem to leave it out. |
159 | |
160 | 1.21 - 28 April 2003 |
161 | |
162 | * Tests 148 & 150 from t/02zlib.t were failing on redhat 9. |
163 | |
164 | * Added a few words about the problems with Mac OS X to the README file. |
165 | |
166 | 1.20 - 4 April 2003 |
167 | |
168 | * Fixed bug in gzopen where $gzerrno wasn't being set correctly. |
169 | The symptom was $gzerrno was set to Z_MEM_ERROR although the file |
170 | was opened ok. If gzopen failed, $gzerrno was being set correctly. |
171 | This problem wasn't spotted before because the typical test |
172 | to determine whether gzopen passed or failed was to check its |
173 | return value. |
174 | |
175 | 1.19 - 31 October 2002 |
176 | |
177 | * fixed a problem with t/02zlib.t that was failing with redhat 8. |
178 | |
179 | 1.18 - 24 October 2002 |
180 | |
181 | * fixed a Win32 problem in t/02zlib.t by changing sysread to read. |
182 | |
183 | * zlib 1.0.5 & older doesn't have gzsetparams & gzeof. Added a new |
184 | variable to config.in to flag an old version of zlib. Split |
185 | out the tests for gzsetparams into t/05gzsetp.t |
186 | |
642e522c |
187 | 1.17 - 23 May 2002 |
f4c6fd49 |
188 | |
189 | * Moved the test to check the versions of libz & zlib.h into a separate |
190 | file and added troubleshooting notes to README. |
191 | |
192 | * In gzopen, only attempt to call "tell" for normal files. |
193 | |
642e522c |
194 | * Fixed to work in taint mode. |
195 | |
f4c6fd49 |
196 | * Broke changes out of README into Changes file. |
197 | |
198 | * Replaced internal use of Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH symbol with Z_SYNC_FLUSH. |
199 | zlib.h says /* will be removed, use Z_SYNC_FLUSH instead */ |
200 | |
f4c6fd49 |
201 | 1.16 - 13 December 2001 |
202 | |
203 | * Fixed bug in Makefile.PL that stopped "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=..." |
204 | working. |
205 | |
206 | 1.15 - 4th December 2001 |
207 | |
208 | * Changes a few types to get the module to build on 64-bit Solaris |
209 | |
210 | * Changed the up/downgrade logic to default to the older constructs, and |
211 | to only call a downgrade if specifically requested. Some older versions |
212 | of Perl were having problems with the in-place edit. |
213 | |
214 | * added the new XS constant code. |
215 | |
216 | 1.14 - 27th August 2001 |
217 | |
218 | * Memory overwrite bug fixed in "inflate". Kudos to Rob Simons for |
219 | reporting the bug and to Anton Berezin for fixing it for me. |
220 | |
221 | 1.13 - 31st June 2001 |
222 | |
642e522c |
223 | * Make sure config.in is consistant when released. |
f4c6fd49 |
224 | |
225 | 1.12 - 28th April 2001 |
226 | |
227 | * Modified Makefile.PL to only enable the warnings pragma if |
228 | using perl 5.6.1 or better. |
229 | |
230 | 1.11 - 17th February 2001 |
231 | |
232 | * Added logic in Makefile.PL to toggle between using $^W and |
233 | the warnings pragma in the module. |
234 | |
235 | * The module, the examples & the test harness are now all strict |
236 | & warnings clean. |
237 | |
238 | 1.10 - 5th February 2001 |
239 | |
240 | * fixed a bug in memGunzip. Used Z_ERR instead of Z_DATA_ERROR. |
241 | |
242 | 1.09 - 15th January 2001 |
243 | |
244 | * Silenced a few compiler warnings. |
245 | |
246 | * Updated zlib home site in README & Zlib.pm to www.info-zip.org |
247 | |
248 | * Minor typo in Zlib.pm - a link used AUTHORS instead of AUTHOR |
249 | -- spotted by Frank Martini. |
250 | |
251 | * Mention Archive::Zip |
252 | |
253 | * added memGunzip. This is largely based on code provided by Jim Leonard. |
254 | |
255 | * $deflate->flush can now take an optional parameter. Valid |
256 | values are Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH, Z_FULL_FLUSH |
257 | and Z_FINISH. The default is Z_FINISH. |
258 | |
259 | 1.08 - 6 Jan 2000 |
260 | |
261 | * uncompress was clobbering its input parameter. Now it doesn't. |
262 | This bug was spotted by Deven T. Corzine. |
263 | |
264 | * If a variable that only ever contained a number was given |
265 | to compress or deflate, it would not be compressed properly. Now |
266 | it will be coerced to a string and then compressed. This bug |
267 | was spotted by Deven T. Corzine. |
268 | |
269 | 1.07 - 27 Nov 1999 |
270 | |
271 | * ANSI-ified the static functions in Zlib.xs |
272 | |
273 | * Added the ability to build zlib along with the module. |
274 | This feature is 90% based on a Makefile provided by Gurusamy |
275 | Sarathy. |
276 | |
277 | 1.06 - 20 Sep 1999 |
278 | |
279 | * Fixed a nasty problem where inflate could truncate the data |
280 | returned. Thanks to Douglas Thomson <dougt@mugc.cc.monash.edu.au> |
281 | for both spotting the problem and fixing the bug. |
282 | |
283 | * Added a note about the undocumented features in zlib that are |
284 | required when accessing zip files. |
285 | |
286 | * gzclose will now get called automatically when the gzip object is |
287 | destroyed. |
288 | |
289 | 1.05 - 3 June 1999 |
290 | |
291 | * Previous release used newSVpvn, which doesn't exist in 5.004_04 |
292 | or earlier. Changed to use newSVpv instead. |
293 | |
294 | * The module needs Perl 5.004 or better, so updated the version |
295 | checking in Zlib.pm and Makefile.PL |
296 | |
297 | 1.04 - 27 May 1999 |
298 | |
299 | * Bug 19990527.001: compress(undef) core dumps -- Fixed. |
300 | |
301 | 1.03 - 17 Mar 1999 |
302 | |
303 | * Updated to use the new PL_ symbols. |
304 | Means the module can be built with Perl 5.005_5* |
305 | |
306 | 1.02 - 31 Jan 1999 |
307 | |
308 | * The return codes for gzread, gzreadline and gzwrite were |
309 | documented incorrectly as returning a status code. |
310 | |
311 | * The test harness was missing a "gzclose". This caused problem |
312 | showed up on an amiga. Thanks to Erik van Roode for reporting |
313 | this one. |
314 | |
315 | * Patched zlib.t for OS/2. Thanks to Ilya Zakharevich for the patch. |
316 | |
317 | 1.01 - 23 Nov 1997 |
318 | |
319 | * A number of fixes to the test suite and the example scripts to |
320 | allow them to work under win32. All courtesy of Gurusamy |
321 | Sarathy. |
322 | |
323 | 1.00 - 14 Nov 1997 |
324 | |
325 | * Fixed crc32 & adler32. They were very broken. |
326 | |
327 | * The following functions can now take a scalar reference in |
328 | place of a scalar for their buffer parameters: |
329 | |
330 | compress |
331 | uncompress |
332 | deflate |
333 | inflate |
334 | crc32 |
335 | adler32 |
336 | |
337 | This should mean applications that make use of the module don't |
338 | have to copy large buffers around. |
339 | |
340 | |
341 | * Normally the inflate method consumes I<all> of the input buffer |
342 | before returning. The exception to this is when inflate detects |
343 | the end of the stream (Z_STREAM_END). In this case the input |
344 | buffer need not be completely consumed. To allow processing of |
345 | file formats that embed a deflation stream (e.g. zip, gzip), |
346 | the inflate method now sets the buffer parameter to be what |
347 | remains after inflation. |
348 | |
349 | When the return status is Z_STREAM_END, it will be what remains |
350 | of the buffer (if any) after deflation. When the status is Z_OK |
351 | it will be an empty string. |
352 | |
353 | This change means that the buffer parameter must be a lvalue. |
354 | |
355 | * Fixed crc32 and adler32. They were both very broken. |
356 | |
357 | * Added the Compress::Zlib::memGzip function. |
358 | |
359 | 0.5 - Confirmed that no changes were necessary for zlib 1.0.3, or 1.0.4. |
360 | |
361 | The optional parameters for deflateInit and inflateInit can now |
362 | be specified as an associative array in addition to a reference |
363 | to an associative array. They can also accept the -Name |
364 | syntax. |
365 | |
366 | gzopen can now optionally take a reference to an open |
367 | filehandle in place of a filename. In this case it will call |
368 | gzdopen. |
369 | |
370 | Added gzstream example script. |
371 | |
372 | 0.4 - Upgrade to support zlib 0.99 |
373 | |
374 | Added dictionary interface. |
375 | |
376 | Fixed bug in gzreadline - previously it would keep returning |
377 | the same buffer. This bug was reported by Helmut Jarausch |
378 | |
379 | Removed dependency to zutil.h and so dropped support for |
380 | |
381 | DEF_MEM_LEVEL (use MAX_MEM_LEVEL instead) |
382 | DEF_WBITS (use MAX_WBITS instead) |
383 | |
384 | 0.3 - Added prototype specification. |
385 | |
386 | 0.2 - Fixed a minor allocation problem in Zlib.xs |
387 | |
388 | 0.1 - first alpha release. 2nd October 1995 |
