1 | Revision history for Perl extension Cwd. |
2 | |
275e8705 |
3 | 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004 |
4 | |
5 | - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?) |
6 | occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster] |
7 | |
8 | - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32. |
9 | |
10 | - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path() |
11 | that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark] |
12 | To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't |
13 | otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
14 | or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set. |

16 | 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004 |
17 | |
18 | - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's |
19 | fixed there. [Craig Berry] |

21 | 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004 |

22 | |
23 | - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could |
24 | only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This |
25 | was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path(). |
26 | |
27 | - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above. |
28 | |
29 | - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the |
30 | current working directory of the specified drive/volume. |
31 | [Steve Hay] |
32 | |
33 | - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY |
34 | compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] |
35 | |
36 | - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the |
37 | path separator is ':'. |
38 | |
39 | - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32), |
40 | don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed |
41 | up load time. [Stefan Scherer] |
42 | |
43 | - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as |
44 | the XS version (;$). |

46 | 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004 |
47 | |
48 | - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from |
49 | within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp -> |
50 | /private/tmp). |

52 | 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004 |
53 | |
54 | - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented |
55 | interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results |
56 | to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry] |

59 | |
60 | - Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating |
61 | Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from |
62 | blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac] |

64 | 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004 |
65 | |
66 | - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular |
67 | expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This |
68 | fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No |
69 | changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay] |

71 | 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004 |
72 | |
73 | - Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that |
74 | it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
75 | |
76 | - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD |
77 | people] |

79 | 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003 |
80 | |
81 | - Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been |
82 | tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant] |
83 | |
84 | 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003 |
85 | |
86 | (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even |
87 | though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how |
88 | THAT happened...) |
89 | |
90 | - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which |
91 | isn't necessary. I've removed it. |
92 | |
93 | 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003 |
94 | |
95 | - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl. |
96 | |
97 | - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of |
98 | Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard |
99 | lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if |
100 | you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL . |
101 | |
102 | - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim |
103 | of backporting this module to perl 5.005. |
104 | |
105 | - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls |
106 | carp()/croak(). |
107 | |
108 | - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael |
109 | Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich. |
110 | |
111 | - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression |
112 | tests. [Sam Vilain] |
113 | |
114 | 2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003 |
115 | |
116 | - Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN |
117 | release by Ken Williams. |
