3 | - Fixed a bug in the $ENV{PWD}-updating of Cwd::chdir() when a |
4 | dirhandle is passed in. [Steve Peters] |
5 | |
6 | - Add perl 5.005 to the list of requirements in the |
7 | Build.PL/Makefile.PL/META.yml. |
8 | |
9 | - Add ExtUtils::CBuilder to the list of build_requires in Build.PL. |
10 | |
11 | - Improved performance of canonpath() on Unix-ish platforms - on my |
12 | OS X laptop it looks like it's about twice as fast. [Ruslan Zakirov] |

16 | - Yet more Win32 fixes (sigh... seems like I'm fighting a neverending |
17 | waterbed...). This time, fixed file_name_is_absolute() to know |
18 | what it's doing when the path includes a volume but a relative |
19 | path, like C:foo.txt . This bug had impact in rel2abs() on Win32 |
20 | too. |
21 | |
22 | 3.22 - Mon Oct 9 21:50:52 2006 |
81a4c762 |
23 | |
24 | - Fixed the t/crossplatform.t test on Win32 (and possibly other |
25 | volume-aware platforms) now that rel2abs() always adds a drive |
26 | letter. [Reported by several parties] |
27 | |
28 | 3.21 - Wed Oct 4 21:16:43 2006 |
110c90cc |
29 | |
30 | - Added a bunch of X<> tags to the File::Spec docs to help |
31 | podindex. [Gabor Szabo] |
32 | |
33 | - On Win32, abs2rel('C:\one\two\t\foo', 't\bar') should return |
34 | '..\foo' when the cwd is 'C:\one\two', but it wasn't noticing that |
35 | the two relevant volumes were the same so it would return the full |
36 | path 'C:\one\two\t\foo'. This is fixed. [Spotted by Alexandr |
37 | Ciornii] |
38 | |
39 | - On Win32, rel2abs() now always adds a volume (drive letter) if the |
40 | given path doesn't have a volume (drive letter or UNC volume). |
41 | Previously it could return a value that didn't have a volume if the |
42 | input was a semi-absolute path like /foo/bar instead of a |
43 | fully-absolute path like C:/foo/bar . |
44 | |

45 | 3.19 Tue Jul 11 22:40:26 CDT 2006 |
46 | |
47 | - When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths |
48 | (e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm |
49 | needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into |
50 | absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround, |
51 | making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called |
52 | repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea] |
53 | |
54 | - Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39 |
55 | when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how |
56 | to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions |
57 | don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy] |
58 | |
59 | - Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was |
60 | returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by |
61 | Heinrich Tegethoff] |
62 | |
259de58f |
63 | 3.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006 |
64 | |
65 | - Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be |
66 | treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards] |
67 | |
68 | - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar', |
69 | '/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao] |
70 | |
71 | - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/', |
72 | 'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes] |
73 | |
74 | 3.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006 |
75 | |
76 | - The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments |
77 | (which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since |
78 | that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a |
79 | subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping |
80 | if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf |
81 | when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden] |
82 | |
83 | 3.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006 |
84 | |
85 | - Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward |
86 | compatibility XS layers for older perl versions. |
87 | |
88 | - Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs() |
89 | methods that the cwd() function it discusses is |
90 | Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark] |
91 | |
92 | - Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5 |
93 | (and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps |
94 | as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error. |
95 | We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since |
96 | "PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted |
97 | by Eamon Daly and others] |
98 | |

100 | |
101 | - The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to |
102 | the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is |
103 | safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did |
6a288e04 |
104 | abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in |
105 | which the XS version can't load, such as when running under |
106 | miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] |
fa52125f |
107 | |
108 | - When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop |
109 | after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We |
110 | also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already |
111 | found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or |
112 | /usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] |
113 | |
114 | - On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the |
115 | root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been |
116 | fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler] |
117 | |
118 | - In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so |
119 | that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file', |
120 | '[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John |
121 | E. Malmberg] |
122 | |
123 | - In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of |
124 | just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg] |
125 | |
9d5071ba |
126 | 3.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005 |
127 | |
128 | - canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a |
129 | //double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where |
130 | that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O |
131 | rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that |
132 | calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin |
133 | unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does. |
134 | |
135 | - Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes |
136 | create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it |
137 | shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")). |
138 | |
139 | 3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005 |
140 | |
141 | - Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing |
142 | some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if |
143 | they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself |
144 | (submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working |
145 | around. [Thomas L. Shinnick] |
146 | |
147 | - Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs |
148 | needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov] |
149 | |
150 | - abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments |
151 | were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns |
152 | curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden] |
153 | |
154 | - The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified. |
155 | |

156 | 3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005 |
157 | |
158 | - Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root |
159 | directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich] |
160 | |
161 | - Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on |
162 | Win32. [Gisle Aas] |
163 | |
b2b4ec81 |
164 | 3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005 |
165 | |
166 | - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for |
167 | File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik] |
168 | |
9596c75c |
169 | 3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005 |
170 | |
171 | - eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now |
172 | deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside |
173 | MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern] |
174 | |
175 | - canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections |
176 | correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously |
177 | doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these |
178 | sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern] |
179 | |
f6342b4b |
180 | 3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005 |
181 | |
182 | - Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS |
183 | function, which were necessary to separate the variable |
184 | declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not |
185 | defined. [Yves] |
186 | |
187 | - Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I |
188 | thought it was, so I simplified the code around it. |
189 | |
190 | - When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it |
191 | sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl |
192 | 5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now |
193 | fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss] |
194 | |

195 | 3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005 |
196 | |
197 | - Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was |
198 | sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay] |
199 | |
60598624 |
200 | 3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005 |
201 | |
202 | - Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become |
203 | tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern] |
204 | |
205 | - File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ . |
206 | [Michael Schwern] |
207 | |
208 | - We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly |
209 | necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance |
210 | boost. [Richard Soderberg] |
211 | |
212 | - Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works |
213 | (or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
214 | |
215 | 3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005 |
216 | |
217 | (No changes in functionality) |
218 | |
219 | - Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse |
220 | foo/../bar sections. |
221 | |
222 | - The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses |
223 | normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark] |
224 | |
b04f6d36 |
225 | 3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005 |
226 | |
227 | - Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and |
228 | backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq] |
229 | |
230 | - Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error |
231 | (though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build |
232 | process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael |
233 | Garcia-Suarez] |
234 | |
235 | - In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're |
236 | testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] |
237 | |
99f36a73 |
238 | 3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005 |
239 | |
240 | - For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available, |
241 | because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl |
242 | was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C |
243 | function is defined on their platform when their perl is old. |
244 | Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by |
245 | several parties] |
246 | |
247 | - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker |
248 | doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib |
249 | file. [Jerry Hedden] |
250 | |
251 | - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had |
252 | read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry] |
253 | |
254 | 3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005 |
255 | |
256 | - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root |
257 | directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac] |
258 | |
259 | - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during |
260 | testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments |
261 | and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end. |
262 | |
263 | - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually |
264 | pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not |
265 | to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`. |
266 | |
267 | 3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005 |
268 | |
269 | - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root |
270 | directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin] |
271 | |
272 | - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd |
273 | module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden] |
274 | |
275 | - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of |
276 | abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people |
277 | grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway. |
278 | |
279 | - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd |
280 | (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get |
281 | loaded instead of the one we're building & installing. |
282 | |
283 | - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't |
284 | require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois] |
285 | |
286 | - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay] |
287 | |
288 | - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on |
289 | older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root] |
290 | |
291 | - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there |
292 | won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of |
293 | disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke] |
294 | |
295 | - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a |
296 | syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern] |
297 | |
298 | - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were |
299 | lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're |
300 | restored now. [Craig A. Berry] |
301 | |
302 | - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat' |
303 | down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'. |
304 | This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax |
305 | parser. [Craig A. Berry] |
306 | |
307 | - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple |
308 | -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in |
309 | the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed |
310 | with the rest of the stuff. |
311 | |
312 | - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with |
313 | older perls like 5.005. |
314 | |
315 | - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted |
316 | by Neil MacMullen] |
317 | |
318 | - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm |
319 | file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski] |
320 | |
321 | 3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004 |
322 | |
323 | - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from |
324 | the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL. |
325 | |
326 | - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't |
327 | even begin to work. [Reported by many] |
328 | |
329 | 3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004 |
330 | |
331 | - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution. |
332 | This was done because the two modules use each other fairly |
333 | extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another |
334 | distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00 |
335 | of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and |
336 | File::Spec 0.90. |
337 | |
338 | ================================================================== |
339 | Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two |
340 | separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here. |
341 | The revision history for File::Spec is further below. |

344 | Cwd 2.21 Tue Aug 31 22:50:14 CDT 2004 |
14815b0c |
345 | |
346 | - Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the |
347 | distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly] |
348 | |
349 | - Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work |
350 | (platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry] |
351 | |
99f36a73 |
352 | Cwd 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004 |
275e8705 |
353 | |
354 | - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?) |
355 | occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster] |
356 | |
357 | - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32. |
358 | |
359 | - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path() |
360 | that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark] |
361 | To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't |
362 | otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
363 | or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set. |
364 | |

7ada78df |
366 | |
367 | - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's |
368 | fixed there. [Craig Berry] |
369 | |
99f36a73 |
370 | Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004 |
09122b95 |
371 | |
372 | - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could |
373 | only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This |
374 | was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path(). |
375 | |
376 | - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above. |
377 | |
378 | - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the |
379 | current working directory of the specified drive/volume. |
380 | [Steve Hay] |
381 | |
382 | - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY |
383 | compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] |
384 | |
385 | - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the |
386 | path separator is ':'. |
387 | |
388 | - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32), |
389 | don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed |
390 | up load time. [Stefan Scherer] |
391 | |
392 | - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as |
393 | the XS version (;$). |
394 | |

395 | Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004 |
ea067225 |
396 | |
397 | - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from |
398 | within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp -> |
399 | /private/tmp). |

401 | Cwd 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004 |
821bf9a5 |
402 | |
403 | - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented |
404 | interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results |
405 | to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry] |
406 | |
99f36a73 |
407 | Cwd 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004 |

408 | |
409 | - Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating |
410 | Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from |
411 | blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac] |
412 | |

413 | Cwd 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004 |
ad78113d |
414 | |
415 | - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular |
416 | expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This |
417 | fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No |
418 | changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay] |

422 | - Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that |
423 | it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
424 | |
425 | - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD |

430 | - Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been |
431 | tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant] |

434 | |
435 | (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even |
436 | though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how |
437 | THAT happened...) |
438 | |
439 | - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which |
440 | isn't necessary. I've removed it. |

442 | Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
443 | |
444 | - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl. |
445 | |
446 | - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of |
447 | Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard |
448 | lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if |
449 | you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL . |
450 | |
451 | - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim |
452 | of backporting this module to perl 5.005. |
453 | |
454 | - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls |
455 | carp()/croak(). |
456 | |
457 | - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael |
458 | Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich. |
459 | |
460 | - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression |
461 | tests. [Sam Vilain] |

474 | File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004 |
475 | |
476 | - On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so |
477 | rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with |
478 | paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry] |
479 | |
480 | File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004 |
481 | |
482 | - Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and |
483 | splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry] |
484 | |
485 | - Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative |
486 | path. [Craig A. Berry] |
487 | |
488 | File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004 |
489 | |
490 | - rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so |
491 | that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the |
492 | current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18. |
493 | [Steve Hay] |
494 | |
495 | - Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character |
496 | class. [Alexander Farber] |
497 | |
498 | - Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester] |
499 | |
500 | File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003 |
501 | |
502 | - With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004. |
503 | [Issue reported by Barry Kemble] |
504 | |
505 | File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003 |
506 | |
507 | - This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to |
508 | the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03. |
509 | |
510 | File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003 |
511 | |
512 | - On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first |
513 | two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument |
514 | only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which |
515 | included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the |
516 | catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02. |
517 | |
518 | - Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously |
519 | abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it |
520 | properly returns '[.t3]file'. |
521 | |
522 | File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003 |
523 | |
524 | - abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the |
525 | notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second |
526 | argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do |
527 | not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first |
528 | argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was |
529 | (usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output. |
530 | |
531 | - catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:") |
532 | in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first |
533 | volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used. |
534 | |
535 | - Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the |
536 | current working directory would get added to the second argument if |
537 | none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it |
538 | was contrary to the documented behavior. For example, |
539 | abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns |
540 | 'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo . |
541 | |
542 | - catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..', |
543 | and now it returns '/'. |
544 | |
545 | File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003 |
546 | |
547 | Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1. |
548 | |
549 | - The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting |
550 | its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
551 | |
552 | - We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael |
553 | Schwern, Tels] |
554 | |
555 | - Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm. |
556 | [Michael Schwern] |
557 | |
558 | - The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was |
559 | never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern] |
560 | |
561 | - Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant |
562 | strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there. |
563 | [Tels] |
564 | |
565 | - Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and |
566 | tests added for them: |
567 | catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
568 | catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '') |
569 | canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '') |
570 | canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
571 | canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
572 | canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
573 | catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo') |
574 | |
575 | - catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume |
576 | that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume, |
577 | catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms. |
578 | |
579 | File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003 |
580 | |
581 | A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a |
582 | "stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet |
583 | unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl |
584 | 5.8.1. |
585 | |
586 | - File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have |
587 | returned 1. |
588 | |
589 | - Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of |
590 | the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part |
591 | of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path |
592 | argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base |
593 | argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the |
594 | broken relative path previous versions returned. |
595 | |
596 | - Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning |
597 | \../foo into "foo" rather than \foo |
598 | |
599 | - Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir(). |
600 | |
601 | File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003 |
602 | |
603 | No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files |
604 | |
605 | - Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and |
606 | Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file. |
607 | |
608 | - The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping |
609 | on platforms where it can't run properly. |
610 | |
611 | File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003 |
612 | |
613 | I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release |
614 | from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights, |
615 | from what I can tell, are listed here. |
616 | |
617 | - A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in |
618 | line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely |
619 | done by Thomas Wegner. |
620 | |
621 | - The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported. |
622 | |
623 | - Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from |
624 | File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec. |
625 | |
626 | - A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via |
627 | Module::Build. |
628 | |
629 | - Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been |
630 | eliminated. [Michael Schwern] |
631 | |
632 | - canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the |
633 | beginning of a path. |
634 | |
635 | - Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor] |
636 | |
637 | - Various POD fixups |
638 | |
639 | - Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels] |
640 | |
641 | - When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir() |
642 | implementations now avoid returning a tainted path. |
643 | |
644 | - File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(), |
645 | splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather |
646 | than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix. |
647 | |
648 | - Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s |
649 | on Win32. |
650 | |
651 | - catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath() |
652 | on its final argument. |
653 | |
654 | - canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the |
655 | path. |
656 | |
657 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of |
658 | relativity when no base is given. |
659 | |
660 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in |
661 | the $path argument. |
662 | |
663 | - canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo]. |
664 | It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations. |
665 | |
666 | - tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'. |
667 | |
668 | - abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base. |
669 | |
670 | File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000 |
671 | - Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms |
672 | - Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so |
673 | underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone |
674 | needing to update the perl repository. |
675 | - abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks |
676 | - VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository. |
677 | - Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules. |
678 | - Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future |
679 | arrives where method prototypes are honored. |
