5 | - canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a |
6 | //double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where |
7 | that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O |
8 | rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that |
9 | calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin |
10 | unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does. |
11 | |
12 | - Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes |
13 | create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it |
14 | shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")). |
15 | |
16 | 3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005 |
17 | |
18 | - Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing |
19 | some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if |
20 | they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself |
21 | (submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working |
22 | around. [Thomas L. Shinnick] |
23 | |
24 | - Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs |
25 | needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov] |
26 | |
27 | - abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments |
28 | were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns |
29 | curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden] |
30 | |
31 | - The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified. |
32 | |

33 | 3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005 |
34 | |
35 | - Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root |
36 | directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich] |
37 | |
38 | - Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on |
39 | Win32. [Gisle Aas] |
40 | |
b2b4ec81 |
41 | 3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005 |
42 | |
43 | - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for |
44 | File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik] |
45 | |
9596c75c |
46 | 3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005 |
47 | |
48 | - eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now |
49 | deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside |
50 | MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern] |
51 | |
52 | - canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections |
53 | correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously |
54 | doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these |
55 | sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern] |
56 | |
f6342b4b |
57 | 3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005 |
58 | |
59 | - Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS |
60 | function, which were necessary to separate the variable |
61 | declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not |
62 | defined. [Yves] |
63 | |
64 | - Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I |
65 | thought it was, so I simplified the code around it. |
66 | |
67 | - When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it |
68 | sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl |
69 | 5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now |
70 | fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss] |
71 | |
000abefc |
72 | 3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005 |
73 | |
74 | - Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was |
75 | sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay] |
76 | |
60598624 |
77 | 3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005 |
78 | |
79 | - Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become |
80 | tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern] |
81 | |
82 | - File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ . |
83 | [Michael Schwern] |
84 | |
85 | - We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly |
86 | necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance |
87 | boost. [Richard Soderberg] |
88 | |
89 | - Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works |
90 | (or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
91 | |
92 | 3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005 |
93 | |
94 | (No changes in functionality) |
95 | |
96 | - Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse |
97 | foo/../bar sections. |
98 | |
99 | - The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses |
100 | normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark] |
101 | |
b04f6d36 |
102 | 3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005 |
103 | |
104 | - Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and |
105 | backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq] |
106 | |
107 | - Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error |
108 | (though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build |
109 | process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael |
110 | Garcia-Suarez] |
111 | |
112 | - In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're |
113 | testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] |
114 | |
99f36a73 |
115 | 3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005 |
116 | |
117 | - For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available, |
118 | because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl |
119 | was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C |
120 | function is defined on their platform when their perl is old. |
121 | Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by |
122 | several parties] |
123 | |
124 | - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker |
125 | doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib |
126 | file. [Jerry Hedden] |
127 | |
128 | - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had |
129 | read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry] |
130 | |
131 | 3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005 |
132 | |
133 | - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root |
134 | directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac] |
135 | |
136 | - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during |
137 | testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments |
138 | and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end. |
139 | |
140 | - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually |
141 | pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not |
142 | to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`. |
143 | |
144 | 3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005 |
145 | |
146 | - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root |
147 | directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin] |
148 | |
149 | - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd |
150 | module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden] |
151 | |
152 | - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of |
153 | abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people |
154 | grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway. |
155 | |
156 | - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd |
157 | (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get |
158 | loaded instead of the one we're building & installing. |
159 | |
160 | - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't |
161 | require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois] |
162 | |
163 | - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay] |
164 | |
165 | - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on |
166 | older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root] |
167 | |
168 | - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there |
169 | won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of |
170 | disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke] |
171 | |
172 | - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a |
173 | syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern] |
174 | |
175 | - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were |
176 | lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're |
177 | restored now. [Craig A. Berry] |
178 | |
179 | - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat' |
180 | down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'. |
181 | This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax |
182 | parser. [Craig A. Berry] |
183 | |
184 | - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple |
185 | -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in |
186 | the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed |
187 | with the rest of the stuff. |
188 | |
189 | - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with |
190 | older perls like 5.005. |
191 | |
192 | - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted |
193 | by Neil MacMullen] |
194 | |
195 | - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm |
196 | file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski] |
197 | |
198 | 3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004 |
199 | |
200 | - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from |
201 | the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL. |
202 | |
203 | - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't |
204 | even begin to work. [Reported by many] |
205 | |
206 | 3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004 |
207 | |
208 | - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution. |
209 | This was done because the two modules use each other fairly |
210 | extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another |
211 | distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00 |
212 | of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and |
213 | File::Spec 0.90. |
214 | |
215 | ================================================================== |
216 | Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two |
217 | separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here. |
218 | The revision history for File::Spec is further below. |
219 | ================================================================== |
220 | |
221 | Cwd 2.21 Tue Aug 31 22:50:14 CDT 2004 |
14815b0c |
222 | |
223 | - Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the |
224 | distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly] |
225 | |
226 | - Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work |
227 | (platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry] |
228 | |
99f36a73 |
229 | Cwd 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004 |
275e8705 |
230 | |
231 | - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?) |
232 | occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster] |
233 | |
234 | - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32. |
235 | |
236 | - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path() |
237 | that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark] |
238 | To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't |
239 | otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
240 | or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set. |
241 | |
99f36a73 |
242 | Cwd 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004 |
7ada78df |
243 | |
244 | - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's |
245 | fixed there. [Craig Berry] |
246 | |
99f36a73 |
247 | Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004 |
09122b95 |
248 | |
249 | - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could |
250 | only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This |
251 | was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path(). |
252 | |
253 | - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above. |
254 | |
255 | - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the |
256 | current working directory of the specified drive/volume. |
257 | [Steve Hay] |
258 | |
259 | - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY |
260 | compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] |
261 | |
262 | - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the |
263 | path separator is ':'. |
264 | |
265 | - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32), |
266 | don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed |
267 | up load time. [Stefan Scherer] |
268 | |
269 | - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as |
270 | the XS version (;$). |
271 | |
99f36a73 |
272 | Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004 |
ea067225 |
273 | |
274 | - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from |
275 | within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp -> |
276 | /private/tmp). |
277 | |
99f36a73 |
278 | Cwd 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004 |
821bf9a5 |
279 | |
280 | - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented |
281 | interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results |
282 | to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry] |
283 | |
99f36a73 |
284 | Cwd 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004 |
02cc4877 |
285 | |
286 | - Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating |
287 | Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from |
288 | blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac] |
289 | |
99f36a73 |
290 | Cwd 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004 |
ad78113d |
291 | |
292 | - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular |
293 | expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This |
294 | fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No |
295 | changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay] |
296 | |
99f36a73 |
297 | Cwd 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004 |
889f7a4f |
298 | |
299 | - Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that |
300 | it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
301 | |
302 | - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD |
303 | people] |
304 | |
99f36a73 |
305 | Cwd 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
306 | |
307 | - Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been |
308 | tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant] |
309 | |
99f36a73 |
310 | Cwd 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
311 | |
312 | (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even |
313 | though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how |
314 | THAT happened...) |
315 | |
316 | - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which |
317 | isn't necessary. I've removed it. |
318 | |
99f36a73 |
319 | Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
320 | |
321 | - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl. |
322 | |
323 | - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of |
324 | Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard |
325 | lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if |
326 | you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL . |
327 | |
328 | - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim |
329 | of backporting this module to perl 5.005. |
330 | |
331 | - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls |
332 | carp()/croak(). |
333 | |
334 | - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael |
335 | Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich. |
336 | |
337 | - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression |
338 | tests. [Sam Vilain] |
339 | |
99f36a73 |
340 | Cwd 2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
341 | |
342 | - Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN |
343 | release by Ken Williams. |
344 | |
99f36a73 |
345 | ================================================================== |
346 | Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two |
347 | separate distributions. The revision history for File::Spec is shown |
348 | here. The revision history for Cwd is above. |
349 | ================================================================== |
350 | |
351 | File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004 |
352 | |
353 | - On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so |
354 | rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with |
355 | paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry] |
356 | |
357 | File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004 |
358 | |
359 | - Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and |
360 | splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry] |
361 | |
362 | - Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative |
363 | path. [Craig A. Berry] |
364 | |
365 | File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004 |
366 | |
367 | - rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so |
368 | that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the |
369 | current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18. |
370 | [Steve Hay] |
371 | |
372 | - Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character |
373 | class. [Alexander Farber] |
374 | |
375 | - Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester] |
376 | |
377 | File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003 |
378 | |
379 | - With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004. |
380 | [Issue reported by Barry Kemble] |
381 | |
382 | File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003 |
383 | |
384 | - This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to |
385 | the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03. |
386 | |
387 | File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003 |
388 | |
389 | - On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first |
390 | two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument |
391 | only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which |
392 | included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the |
393 | catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02. |
394 | |
395 | - Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously |
396 | abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it |
397 | properly returns '[.t3]file'. |
398 | |
399 | File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003 |
400 | |
401 | - abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the |
402 | notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second |
403 | argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do |
404 | not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first |
405 | argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was |
406 | (usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output. |
407 | |
408 | - catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:") |
409 | in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first |
410 | volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used. |
411 | |
412 | - Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the |
413 | current working directory would get added to the second argument if |
414 | none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it |
415 | was contrary to the documented behavior. For example, |
416 | abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns |
417 | 'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo . |
418 | |
419 | - catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..', |
420 | and now it returns '/'. |
421 | |
422 | File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003 |
423 | |
424 | Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1. |
425 | |
426 | - The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting |
427 | its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
428 | |
429 | - We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael |
430 | Schwern, Tels] |
431 | |
432 | - Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm. |
433 | [Michael Schwern] |
434 | |
435 | - The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was |
436 | never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern] |
437 | |
438 | - Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant |
439 | strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there. |
440 | [Tels] |
441 | |
442 | - Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and |
443 | tests added for them: |
444 | catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
445 | catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '') |
446 | canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '') |
447 | canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
448 | canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
449 | canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
450 | catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo') |
451 | |
452 | - catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume |
453 | that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume, |
454 | catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms. |
455 | |
456 | File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003 |
457 | |
458 | A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a |
459 | "stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet |
460 | unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl |
461 | 5.8.1. |
462 | |
463 | - File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have |
464 | returned 1. |
465 | |
466 | - Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of |
467 | the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part |
468 | of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path |
469 | argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base |
470 | argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the |
471 | broken relative path previous versions returned. |
472 | |
473 | - Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning |
474 | \../foo into "foo" rather than \foo |
475 | |
476 | - Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir(). |
477 | |
478 | File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003 |
479 | |
480 | No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files |
481 | |
482 | - Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and |
483 | Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file. |
484 | |
485 | - The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping |
486 | on platforms where it can't run properly. |
487 | |
488 | File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003 |
489 | |
490 | I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release |
491 | from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights, |
492 | from what I can tell, are listed here. |
493 | |
494 | - A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in |
495 | line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely |
496 | done by Thomas Wegner. |
497 | |
498 | - The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported. |
499 | |
500 | - Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from |
501 | File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec. |
502 | |
503 | - A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via |
504 | Module::Build. |
505 | |
506 | - Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been |
507 | eliminated. [Michael Schwern] |
508 | |
509 | - canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the |
510 | beginning of a path. |
511 | |
512 | - Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor] |
513 | |
514 | - Various POD fixups |
515 | |
516 | - Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels] |
517 | |
518 | - When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir() |
519 | implementations now avoid returning a tainted path. |
520 | |
521 | - File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(), |
522 | splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather |
523 | than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix. |
524 | |
525 | - Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s |
526 | on Win32. |
527 | |
528 | - catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath() |
529 | on its final argument. |
530 | |
531 | - canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the |
532 | path. |
533 | |
534 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of |
535 | relativity when no base is given. |
536 | |
537 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in |
538 | the $path argument. |
539 | |
540 | - canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo]. |
541 | It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations. |
542 | |
543 | - tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'. |
544 | |
545 | - abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base. |
546 | |
547 | File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000 |
548 | - Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms |
549 | - Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so |
550 | underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone |
551 | needing to update the perl repository. |
552 | - abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks |
553 | - VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository. |
554 | - Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules. |
555 | - Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future |
556 | arrives where method prototypes are honored. |
