5 | - When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths |
6 | (e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm |
7 | needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into |
8 | absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround, |
9 | making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called |
10 | repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea] |
11 | |
12 | - Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39 |
13 | when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how |
14 | to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions |
15 | don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy] |
16 | |
17 | - Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was |
18 | returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by |
19 | Heinrich Tegethoff] |

21 | 3.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006 |
22 | |
23 | - Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be |
24 | treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards] |
25 | |
26 | - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar', |
27 | '/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao] |
28 | |
29 | - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/', |
30 | 'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes] |
31 | |
32 | 3.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006 |
33 | |
34 | - The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments |
35 | (which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since |
36 | that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a |
37 | subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping |
38 | if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf |
39 | when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden] |
40 | |
41 | 3.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006 |
42 | |
43 | - Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward |
44 | compatibility XS layers for older perl versions. |
45 | |
46 | - Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs() |
47 | methods that the cwd() function it discusses is |
48 | Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark] |
49 | |
50 | - Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5 |
51 | (and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps |
52 | as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error. |
53 | We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since |
54 | "PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted |
55 | by Eamon Daly and others] |

58 | |
59 | - The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to |
60 | the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is |
61 | safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did |
6a288e04 |
62 | abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in |
63 | which the XS version can't load, such as when running under |
64 | miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] |
fa52125f |
65 | |
66 | - When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop |
67 | after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We |
68 | also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already |
69 | found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or |
70 | /usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] |
71 | |
72 | - On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the |
73 | root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been |
74 | fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler] |
75 | |
76 | - In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so |
77 | that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file', |
78 | '[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John |
79 | E. Malmberg] |
80 | |
81 | - In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of |
82 | just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg] |
83 | |

84 | 3.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005 |
85 | |
86 | - canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a |
87 | //double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where |
88 | that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O |
89 | rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that |
90 | calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin |
91 | unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does. |
92 | |
93 | - Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes |
94 | create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it |
95 | shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")). |
96 | |
97 | 3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005 |
98 | |
99 | - Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing |
100 | some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if |
101 | they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself |
102 | (submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working |
103 | around. [Thomas L. Shinnick] |
104 | |
105 | - Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs |
106 | needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov] |
107 | |
108 | - abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments |
109 | were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns |
110 | curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden] |
111 | |
112 | - The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified. |
113 | |

114 | 3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005 |
115 | |
116 | - Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root |
117 | directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich] |
118 | |
119 | - Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on |
120 | Win32. [Gisle Aas] |
121 | |

122 | 3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005 |
123 | |
124 | - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for |
125 | File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik] |
126 | |
9596c75c |
127 | 3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005 |
128 | |
129 | - eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now |
130 | deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside |
131 | MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern] |
132 | |
133 | - canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections |
134 | correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously |
135 | doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these |
136 | sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern] |
137 | |
f6342b4b |
138 | 3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005 |
139 | |
140 | - Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS |
141 | function, which were necessary to separate the variable |
142 | declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not |
143 | defined. [Yves] |
144 | |
145 | - Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I |
146 | thought it was, so I simplified the code around it. |
147 | |
148 | - When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it |
149 | sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl |
150 | 5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now |
151 | fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss] |
152 | |

153 | 3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005 |
154 | |
155 | - Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was |
156 | sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay] |
157 | |
60598624 |
158 | 3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005 |
159 | |
160 | - Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become |
161 | tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern] |
162 | |
163 | - File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ . |
164 | [Michael Schwern] |
165 | |
166 | - We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly |
167 | necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance |
168 | boost. [Richard Soderberg] |
169 | |
170 | - Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works |
171 | (or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
172 | |
173 | 3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005 |
174 | |
175 | (No changes in functionality) |
176 | |
177 | - Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse |
178 | foo/../bar sections. |
179 | |
180 | - The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses |
181 | normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark] |
182 | |
b04f6d36 |
183 | 3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005 |
184 | |
185 | - Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and |
186 | backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq] |
187 | |
188 | - Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error |
189 | (though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build |
190 | process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael |
191 | Garcia-Suarez] |
192 | |
193 | - In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're |
194 | testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] |
195 | |
99f36a73 |
196 | 3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005 |
197 | |
198 | - For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available, |
199 | because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl |
200 | was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C |
201 | function is defined on their platform when their perl is old. |
202 | Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by |
203 | several parties] |
204 | |
205 | - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker |
206 | doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib |
207 | file. [Jerry Hedden] |
208 | |
209 | - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had |
210 | read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry] |
211 | |
212 | 3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005 |
213 | |
214 | - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root |
215 | directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac] |
216 | |
217 | - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during |
218 | testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments |
219 | and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end. |
220 | |
221 | - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually |
222 | pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not |
223 | to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`. |
224 | |
225 | 3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005 |
226 | |
227 | - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root |
228 | directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin] |
229 | |
230 | - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd |
231 | module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden] |
232 | |
233 | - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of |
234 | abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people |
235 | grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway. |
236 | |
237 | - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd |
238 | (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get |
239 | loaded instead of the one we're building & installing. |
240 | |
241 | - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't |
242 | require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois] |
243 | |
244 | - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay] |
245 | |
246 | - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on |
247 | older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root] |
248 | |
249 | - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there |
250 | won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of |
251 | disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke] |
252 | |
253 | - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a |
254 | syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern] |
255 | |
256 | - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were |
257 | lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're |
258 | restored now. [Craig A. Berry] |
259 | |
260 | - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat' |
261 | down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'. |
262 | This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax |
263 | parser. [Craig A. Berry] |
264 | |
265 | - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple |
266 | -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in |
267 | the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed |
268 | with the rest of the stuff. |
269 | |
270 | - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with |
271 | older perls like 5.005. |
272 | |
273 | - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted |
274 | by Neil MacMullen] |
275 | |
276 | - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm |
277 | file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski] |
278 | |
279 | 3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004 |
280 | |
281 | - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from |
282 | the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL. |
283 | |
284 | - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't |
285 | even begin to work. [Reported by many] |
286 | |
287 | 3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004 |
288 | |
289 | - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution. |
290 | This was done because the two modules use each other fairly |
291 | extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another |
292 | distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00 |
293 | of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and |
294 | File::Spec 0.90. |
295 | |
296 | ================================================================== |
297 | Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two |
298 | separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here. |
299 | The revision history for File::Spec is further below. |
300 | ================================================================== |

302 | Cwd 2.21 Tue Aug 31 22:50:14 CDT 2004 |
14815b0c |
303 | |
304 | - Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the |
305 | distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly] |
306 | |
307 | - Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work |
308 | (platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry] |
309 | |
99f36a73 |
310 | Cwd 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004 |
275e8705 |
311 | |
312 | - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?) |
313 | occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster] |
314 | |
315 | - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32. |
316 | |
317 | - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path() |
318 | that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark] |
319 | To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't |
320 | otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
321 | or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set. |
322 | |
99f36a73 |
323 | Cwd 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004 |
7ada78df |
324 | |
325 | - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's |
326 | fixed there. [Craig Berry] |
327 | |
99f36a73 |
328 | Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004 |
09122b95 |
329 | |
330 | - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could |
331 | only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This |
332 | was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path(). |
333 | |
334 | - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above. |
335 | |
336 | - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the |
337 | current working directory of the specified drive/volume. |
338 | [Steve Hay] |
339 | |
340 | - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY |
341 | compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] |
342 | |
343 | - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the |
344 | path separator is ':'. |
345 | |
346 | - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32), |
347 | don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed |
348 | up load time. [Stefan Scherer] |
349 | |
350 | - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as |
351 | the XS version (;$). |
352 | |
99f36a73 |
353 | Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004 |
ea067225 |
354 | |
355 | - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from |
356 | within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp -> |
357 | /private/tmp). |
358 | |
99f36a73 |
359 | Cwd 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004 |
821bf9a5 |
360 | |
361 | - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented |
362 | interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results |
363 | to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry] |
364 | |
99f36a73 |
365 | Cwd 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004 |
02cc4877 |
366 | |
367 | - Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating |
368 | Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from |
369 | blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac] |
370 | |
99f36a73 |
371 | Cwd 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004 |
ad78113d |
372 | |
373 | - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular |
374 | expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This |
375 | fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No |
376 | changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay] |
377 | |

378 | Cwd 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004 |
889f7a4f |
379 | |
380 | - Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that |
381 | it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
382 | |
383 | - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD |
384 | people] |

386 | Cwd 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
387 | |
388 | - Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been |
389 | tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant] |
390 | |
99f36a73 |
391 | Cwd 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
392 | |
393 | (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even |
394 | though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how |
395 | THAT happened...) |
396 | |
397 | - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which |
398 | isn't necessary. I've removed it. |
399 | |
99f36a73 |
400 | Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
401 | |
402 | - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl. |
403 | |
404 | - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of |
405 | Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard |
406 | lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if |
407 | you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL . |
408 | |
409 | - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim |
410 | of backporting this module to perl 5.005. |
411 | |
412 | - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls |
413 | carp()/croak(). |
414 | |
415 | - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael |
416 | Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich. |
417 | |
418 | - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression |
419 | tests. [Sam Vilain] |

422 | |
423 | - Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN |
424 | release by Ken Williams. |

426 | ================================================================== |
427 | Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two |
428 | separate distributions. The revision history for File::Spec is shown |
429 | here. The revision history for Cwd is above. |

432 | File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004 |
433 | |
434 | - On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so |
435 | rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with |
436 | paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry] |
437 | |
438 | File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004 |
439 | |
440 | - Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and |
441 | splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry] |
442 | |
443 | - Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative |
444 | path. [Craig A. Berry] |
445 | |
446 | File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004 |
447 | |
448 | - rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so |
449 | that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the |
450 | current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18. |
451 | [Steve Hay] |
452 | |
453 | - Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character |
454 | class. [Alexander Farber] |
455 | |
456 | - Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester] |
457 | |
458 | File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003 |
459 | |
460 | - With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004. |
461 | [Issue reported by Barry Kemble] |
462 | |
463 | File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003 |
464 | |
465 | - This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to |
466 | the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03. |
467 | |
468 | File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003 |
469 | |
470 | - On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first |
471 | two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument |
472 | only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which |
473 | included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the |
474 | catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02. |
475 | |
476 | - Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously |
477 | abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it |
478 | properly returns '[.t3]file'. |
479 | |
480 | File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003 |
481 | |
482 | - abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the |
483 | notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second |
484 | argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do |
485 | not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first |
486 | argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was |
487 | (usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output. |
488 | |
489 | - catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:") |
490 | in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first |
491 | volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used. |
492 | |
493 | - Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the |
494 | current working directory would get added to the second argument if |
495 | none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it |
496 | was contrary to the documented behavior. For example, |
497 | abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns |
498 | 'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo . |
499 | |
500 | - catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..', |
501 | and now it returns '/'. |
502 | |
503 | File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003 |
504 | |
505 | Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1. |
506 | |
507 | - The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting |
508 | its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
509 | |
510 | - We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael |
511 | Schwern, Tels] |
512 | |
513 | - Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm. |
514 | [Michael Schwern] |
515 | |
516 | - The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was |
517 | never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern] |
518 | |
519 | - Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant |
520 | strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there. |
521 | [Tels] |
522 | |
523 | - Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and |
524 | tests added for them: |
525 | catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
526 | catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '') |
527 | canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '') |
528 | canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
529 | canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
530 | canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
531 | catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo') |
532 | |
533 | - catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume |
534 | that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume, |
535 | catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms. |
536 | |
537 | File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003 |
538 | |
539 | A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a |
540 | "stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet |
541 | unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl |
542 | 5.8.1. |
543 | |
544 | - File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have |
545 | returned 1. |
546 | |
547 | - Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of |
548 | the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part |
549 | of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path |
550 | argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base |
551 | argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the |
552 | broken relative path previous versions returned. |
553 | |
554 | - Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning |
555 | \../foo into "foo" rather than \foo |
556 | |
557 | - Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir(). |
558 | |
559 | File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003 |
560 | |
561 | No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files |
562 | |
563 | - Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and |
564 | Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file. |
565 | |
566 | - The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping |
567 | on platforms where it can't run properly. |
568 | |
569 | File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003 |
570 | |
571 | I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release |
572 | from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights, |
573 | from what I can tell, are listed here. |
574 | |
575 | - A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in |
576 | line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely |
577 | done by Thomas Wegner. |
578 | |
579 | - The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported. |
580 | |
581 | - Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from |
582 | File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec. |
583 | |
584 | - A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via |
585 | Module::Build. |
586 | |
587 | - Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been |
588 | eliminated. [Michael Schwern] |
589 | |
590 | - canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the |
591 | beginning of a path. |
592 | |
593 | - Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor] |
594 | |
595 | - Various POD fixups |
596 | |
597 | - Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels] |
598 | |
599 | - When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir() |
600 | implementations now avoid returning a tainted path. |
601 | |
602 | - File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(), |
603 | splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather |
604 | than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix. |
605 | |
606 | - Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s |
607 | on Win32. |
608 | |
609 | - catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath() |
610 | on its final argument. |
611 | |
612 | - canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the |
613 | path. |
614 | |
615 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of |
616 | relativity when no base is given. |
617 | |
618 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in |
619 | the $path argument. |
620 | |
621 | - canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo]. |
622 | It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations. |
623 | |
624 | - tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'. |
625 | |
626 | - abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base. |
627 | |
628 | File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000 |
629 | - Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms |
630 | - Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so |
631 | underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone |
632 | needing to update the perl repository. |
633 | - abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks |
634 | - VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository. |
635 | - Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules. |
636 | - Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future |
637 | arrives where method prototypes are honored. |
