4 | extended character sets. (RT #42154) [John Malmberg] |
5 | |
6 | - VMS support for Unix and extended file specifications in File::Spec |

9 | 3.29 - Wed Oct 29 20:48:11 2008 |
10 | |
11 | - Promote to stable release. |
12 | |
4a4ab19c |
13 | 3.28_03 - Mon Oct 27 22:12:11 2008 |
14 | |
15 | - In Cwd.pm, pass the un-munged $VERSION to XSLoader/DynaLoader, |
16 | otherwise development releases fail tests on Win32. |
17 | |
18 | 3.28_02 - Mon Oct 27 20:13:11 2008 |
19 | |
20 | - Fixed some issues on QNX/NTO related to paths with double |
21 | slashes. [Matt Kraai & Nicholas Clark] |
22 | |
23 | 3.28_01 - Fri Jul 25 21:18:11 2008 |
24 | |
fa89a9ae |
25 | - Fixed and clarified the behavior of splitpath() with a $no_file |
26 | argument on VMS. [Craig A. Berry, Peter Edwards] |
27 | |
28 | - Removed some function prototypes and other Perl::Critic violations. |
29 | |
30 | - canonpath() and catdir() and catfile() on Win32 now make an |
31 | explicit (and unnecessary) copy of their arguments right away, |
32 | because apparently if we don't, we sabotage all of Win32dom. [RT |
33 | #33675] |
34 | |
35 | - The Makefile.PL now has 'use 5.005;' to explicitly show what |
36 | minimum version of perl we support. [Spotted by Alexandr Ciornii] |
37 | |
38 | 3.2701 - Mon Feb 11 21:43:51 2008 |
39 | |
40 | - Fixed an edge case for Win32 catdir('C:', 'foo') and catfile('C:', |
41 | 'foo.txt') (which the caller's not really supposed to do, that's |
42 | what catpath() is for) that changed between versions. Now we're |
43 | back to the old behavior, which was to return C:\foo and C:\foo.txt . |
44 | [Audrey Tang] |
45 | |
46 | 3.27 - Wed Jan 16 20:20:49 2008 |
47 | |
48 | - If strlcpy() and strlcat() aren't available on the user's system, |
49 | we now use ppport.h to provide them, so our C code works. [Steve |
50 | Peters] |
51 | |
52 | - Upgraded to a newer version of ppport.h [Steve Peters] |
53 | |
54 | 3.26 - Sun Jan 13 21:59:20 2008 |
55 | |
56 | - case_tolerant() on Cygwin will now avoid a painful death when |
57 | Cygwin::mount_flags() isn't defined, as is the case for perl < |
58 | 5.10. It will now just return 1, which is what it always did |
59 | before it got so smart. [Spotted by Emanuele Zeppieri] |
60 | |
61 | - abs_path() on Unix(ish) platforms has been upgraded to a much later |
62 | version of the underlying C code from BSD. [Michael Schwern] |
63 | |
64 | 3.2501 - Mon Dec 24 20:33:02 2007 |
65 | |
66 | - Reimplemented abs_path() on VMS to use |
67 | VMS::Filespec::vms_realpath() when it's available. [John E. Malmberg] |
68 | |
69 | - tmpdir() on Cygwin now also looks in $ENV{TMP} and $ENV{TEMP}. |
70 | |
71 | - case_tolerant() on Cygwin and Win32 now take an optional path |
72 | argument, defaulting to the C drive, to check for case tolerance, |
73 | because this fact can vary on different volumes. |
74 | |
75 | - File::Spec on Unix now uses Cwd::getcwd() rather than Cwd::cwd() to |
76 | get the current directory because I guess someone on p5p thought it |
77 | was more appropriate. |
78 | |
79 | - Added a large set of File::Spec tests for the Cygwin platform. |
80 | |
81 | - abs_path() now behaves correctly with symbolic links on VMS. |
82 | |
83 | - Someone fixed a couple of mysterious edge cases in VMS' canonpath() |
84 | and splitdir(). |
85 | |
86 | 3.25_01 - Sat Oct 13 21:13:57 2007 |
87 | |
88 | - Major fixes on Win32, including a rewrite of catdir(), catfile(), |
89 | and canonpath() in terms of a single body of code. [Heinrich Tegethoff] |
90 | |
91 | - For Win32 and Cygwin, case-tolerance can vary depending on the |
92 | volume under scrutiny. When Win32API::File is available, it will |
93 | be employed to determine case-sensitivity of the given filesystem |
94 | (C: by default), otherwise we still return the default of 1. [Reini |
95 | Urban] |
96 | |
97 | - On Cygwin, we added $ENV{'TMP'} and $ENV{'TEMP'} to the list of |
98 | possible places to look for tmpdir() return values. [Reini Urban] |
99 | |
100 | - Added lots more tests for Cygwin. [Reini Urban] |
101 | |
102 | - canonpath() with no arguments and canonpath(undef) now consistently |
103 | return undef on all platforms. [Spotted by Peter John Edwards] |
104 | |
105 | - Fixed splitdir('') and splitdir(undef) and splitdir() to return an |
106 | empty list on VMS and MacOS, like it does on other platforms. |
107 | [Craig A. Berry] |
108 | |
109 | - All .pm files now have the same $VERSION number, rather than a |
110 | hodgepodge of various numbers. |
111 | |
112 | 3.25 - Mon May 21 21:07:26 2007 |
113 | |
dfa4e5d3 |
114 | - Added a workaround for auto-vivication-of-function-args Perl bug |
115 | (triggered by OS/2-specific code). [Ilya Zakharevich] |
116 | |
117 | - Sync with a bleadperl change: miniperl can no longer use Win32::* |
118 | functions because it cannot load Win32.dll. [Jan Dubois] |
119 | |
120 | - We only need to load ppport.h when building outside the core, so we |
121 | avoid using it when in the core. |
122 | |
123 | 3.24 - Sun Nov 19 22:52:49 2006 |
124 | |
e9475de8 |
125 | - Fixed a bug in the $ENV{PWD}-updating of Cwd::chdir() when a |
126 | dirhandle is passed in. [Steve Peters] |
127 | |
128 | - Add perl 5.005 to the list of requirements in the |
129 | Build.PL/Makefile.PL/META.yml. |
130 | |
131 | - Add ExtUtils::CBuilder to the list of build_requires in Build.PL. |
132 | |
133 | - Improved performance of canonpath() on Unix-ish platforms - on my |
134 | OS X laptop it looks like it's about twice as fast. [Ruslan Zakirov] |
135 | |
136 | 3.23 - Wed Oct 11 12:11:25 2006 |
137 | |
c1e8580e |
138 | - Yet more Win32 fixes (sigh... seems like I'm fighting a neverending |
139 | waterbed...). This time, fixed file_name_is_absolute() to know |
140 | what it's doing when the path includes a volume but a relative |
141 | path, like C:foo.txt . This bug had impact in rel2abs() on Win32 |
142 | too. |
143 | |
144 | 3.22 - Mon Oct 9 21:50:52 2006 |
81a4c762 |
145 | |
146 | - Fixed the t/crossplatform.t test on Win32 (and possibly other |
147 | volume-aware platforms) now that rel2abs() always adds a drive |
148 | letter. [Reported by several parties] |
149 | |
150 | 3.21 - Wed Oct 4 21:16:43 2006 |
110c90cc |
151 | |
152 | - Added a bunch of X<> tags to the File::Spec docs to help |
153 | podindex. [Gabor Szabo] |
154 | |
155 | - On Win32, abs2rel('C:\one\two\t\foo', 't\bar') should return |
156 | '..\foo' when the cwd is 'C:\one\two', but it wasn't noticing that |
157 | the two relevant volumes were the same so it would return the full |
158 | path 'C:\one\two\t\foo'. This is fixed. [Spotted by Alexandr |
159 | Ciornii] |
160 | |
161 | - On Win32, rel2abs() now always adds a volume (drive letter) if the |
162 | given path doesn't have a volume (drive letter or UNC volume). |
163 | Previously it could return a value that didn't have a volume if the |
164 | input was a semi-absolute path like /foo/bar instead of a |
165 | fully-absolute path like C:/foo/bar . |
166 | |
c47834cd |
167 | 3.19 Tue Jul 11 22:40:26 CDT 2006 |
168 | |
169 | - When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths |
170 | (e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm |
171 | needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into |
172 | absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround, |
173 | making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called |
174 | repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea] |
175 | |
176 | - Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39 |
177 | when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how |
178 | to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions |
179 | don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy] |
180 | |
181 | - Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was |
182 | returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by |
183 | Heinrich Tegethoff] |
184 | |
259de58f |
185 | 3.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006 |
186 | |
187 | - Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be |
188 | treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards] |
189 | |
190 | - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar', |
191 | '/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao] |
192 | |
193 | - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/', |
194 | 'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes] |
195 | |
196 | 3.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006 |
197 | |
198 | - The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments |
199 | (which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since |
200 | that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a |
201 | subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping |
202 | if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf |
203 | when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden] |
204 | |
205 | 3.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006 |
206 | |
207 | - Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward |
208 | compatibility XS layers for older perl versions. |
209 | |
210 | - Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs() |
211 | methods that the cwd() function it discusses is |
212 | Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark] |
213 | |
214 | - Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5 |
215 | (and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps |
216 | as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error. |
217 | We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since |
218 | "PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted |
219 | by Eamon Daly and others] |
220 | |
6a288e04 |
221 | 3.15 Tue Dec 27 14:17:39 CST 2005 |
fa52125f |
222 | |
223 | - The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to |
224 | the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is |
225 | safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did |
6a288e04 |
226 | abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in |
227 | which the XS version can't load, such as when running under |
228 | miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] |
fa52125f |
229 | |
230 | - When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop |
231 | after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We |
232 | also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already |
233 | found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or |
234 | /usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons] |
235 | |
236 | - On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the |
237 | root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been |
238 | fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler] |
239 | |
240 | - In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so |
241 | that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file', |
242 | '[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John |
243 | E. Malmberg] |
244 | |
245 | - In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of |
246 | just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg] |
247 | |
9d5071ba |
248 | 3.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005 |
249 | |
250 | - canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a |
251 | //double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where |
252 | that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O |
253 | rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that |
254 | calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin |
255 | unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does. |
256 | |
257 | - Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes |
258 | create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it |
259 | shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")). |
260 | |
261 | 3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005 |
262 | |
263 | - Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing |
264 | some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if |
265 | they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself |
266 | (submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working |
267 | around. [Thomas L. Shinnick] |
268 | |
269 | - Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs |
270 | needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov] |
271 | |
272 | - abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments |
273 | were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns |
274 | curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden] |
275 | |
276 | - The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified. |
277 | |
f5f48b4d |
278 | 3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005 |
279 | |
280 | - Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root |
281 | directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich] |
282 | |
283 | - Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on |
284 | Win32. [Gisle Aas] |
285 | |
b2b4ec81 |
286 | 3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005 |
287 | |
288 | - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for |
289 | File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik] |
290 | |
9596c75c |
291 | 3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005 |
292 | |
293 | - eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now |
294 | deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside |
295 | MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern] |
296 | |
297 | - canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections |
298 | correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously |
299 | doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these |
300 | sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern] |
301 | |
f6342b4b |
302 | 3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005 |
303 | |
304 | - Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS |
305 | function, which were necessary to separate the variable |
306 | declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not |
307 | defined. [Yves] |
308 | |
309 | - Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I |
310 | thought it was, so I simplified the code around it. |
311 | |
312 | - When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it |
313 | sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl |
314 | 5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now |
315 | fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss] |
316 | |
000abefc |
317 | 3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005 |
318 | |
319 | - Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was |
320 | sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay] |
321 | |
60598624 |
322 | 3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005 |
323 | |
324 | - Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become |
325 | tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern] |
326 | |
327 | - File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ . |
328 | [Michael Schwern] |
329 | |
330 | - We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly |
331 | necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance |
332 | boost. [Richard Soderberg] |
333 | |
334 | - Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works |
335 | (or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
336 | |
337 | 3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005 |
338 | |
339 | (No changes in functionality) |
340 | |
341 | - Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse |
342 | foo/../bar sections. |
343 | |
344 | - The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses |
345 | normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark] |
346 | |
b04f6d36 |
347 | 3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005 |
348 | |
349 | - Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and |
350 | backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq] |
351 | |
352 | - Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error |
353 | (though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build |
354 | process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael |
355 | Garcia-Suarez] |
356 | |
357 | - In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're |
358 | testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] |
359 | |
99f36a73 |
360 | 3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005 |
361 | |
362 | - For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available, |
363 | because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl |
364 | was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C |
365 | function is defined on their platform when their perl is old. |
366 | Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by |
367 | several parties] |
368 | |
369 | - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker |
370 | doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib |
371 | file. [Jerry Hedden] |
372 | |
373 | - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had |
374 | read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry] |
375 | |
376 | 3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005 |
377 | |
378 | - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root |
379 | directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac] |
380 | |
381 | - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during |
382 | testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments |
383 | and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end. |
384 | |
385 | - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually |
386 | pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not |
387 | to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`. |
388 | |
389 | 3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005 |
390 | |
391 | - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root |
392 | directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin] |
393 | |
394 | - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd |
395 | module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden] |
396 | |
397 | - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of |
398 | abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people |
399 | grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway. |
400 | |
401 | - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd |
402 | (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get |
403 | loaded instead of the one we're building & installing. |
404 | |
405 | - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't |
406 | require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois] |
407 | |
408 | - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay] |
409 | |
410 | - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on |
411 | older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root] |
412 | |
413 | - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there |
414 | won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of |
415 | disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke] |
416 | |
417 | - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a |
418 | syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern] |

420 | - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were |
421 | lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're |
422 | restored now. [Craig A. Berry] |
423 | |
424 | - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat' |
425 | down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'. |
426 | This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax |
427 | parser. [Craig A. Berry] |
428 | |
429 | - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple |
430 | -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in |
431 | the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed |
432 | with the rest of the stuff. |
433 | |
434 | - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with |
435 | older perls like 5.005. |
436 | |
437 | - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted |
438 | by Neil MacMullen] |
439 | |
440 | - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm |
441 | file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski] |
442 | |
443 | 3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004 |
444 | |
445 | - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from |
446 | the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL. |
447 | |
448 | - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't |
449 | even begin to work. [Reported by many] |
450 | |
451 | 3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004 |
452 | |
453 | - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution. |
454 | This was done because the two modules use each other fairly |
455 | extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another |
456 | distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00 |
457 | of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and |
458 | File::Spec 0.90. |
459 | |
460 | ================================================================== |
461 | Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two |
462 | separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here. |
463 | The revision history for File::Spec is further below. |

468 | - Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the |
469 | distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly] |
470 | |
471 | - Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work |
472 | (platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry] |
473 | |

475 | |
476 | - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?) |
477 | occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster] |
478 | |
479 | - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32. |
480 | |
481 | - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path() |
482 | that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark] |
483 | To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't |
484 | otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE} |
485 | or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set. |

489 | - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's |
490 | fixed there. [Craig Berry] |

492 | Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004 |
09122b95 |
493 | |
494 | - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could |
495 | only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This |
496 | was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path(). |
497 | |
498 | - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above. |
499 | |
500 | - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the |
501 | current working directory of the specified drive/volume. |
502 | [Steve Hay] |
503 | |
504 | - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY |
505 | compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] |
506 | |
507 | - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the |
508 | path separator is ':'. |
509 | |
510 | - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32), |
511 | don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed |
512 | up load time. [Stefan Scherer] |
513 | |
514 | - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as |
515 | the XS version (;$). |

517 | Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004 |

518 | |
519 | - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from |
520 | within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp -> |
521 | /private/tmp). |

524 | |
525 | - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented |
526 | interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results |
527 | to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry] |

536 | |
537 | - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular |
538 | expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This |
539 | fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No |
540 | changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay] |

545 | it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
546 | |
547 | - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD |

557 | (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even |
558 | though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how |
559 | THAT happened...) |
560 | |
561 | - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which |
562 | isn't necessary. I've removed it. |
563 | |

564 | Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003 |
fb8d82a2 |
565 | |
566 | - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl. |
567 | |
568 | - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of |
569 | Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard |
570 | lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if |
571 | you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL . |
572 | |
573 | - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim |
574 | of backporting this module to perl 5.005. |
575 | |
576 | - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls |
577 | carp()/croak(). |
578 | |
579 | - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael |
580 | Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich. |
581 | |
582 | - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression |
583 | tests. [Sam Vilain] |

596 | File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004 |
597 | |
598 | - On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so |
599 | rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with |
600 | paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry] |
601 | |
602 | File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004 |
603 | |
604 | - Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and |
605 | splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry] |
606 | |
607 | - Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative |
608 | path. [Craig A. Berry] |
609 | |
610 | File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004 |
611 | |
612 | - rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so |
613 | that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the |
614 | current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18. |
615 | [Steve Hay] |
616 | |
617 | - Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character |
618 | class. [Alexander Farber] |
619 | |
620 | - Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester] |
621 | |
622 | File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003 |
623 | |
624 | - With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004. |
625 | [Issue reported by Barry Kemble] |
626 | |
627 | File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003 |
628 | |
629 | - This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to |
630 | the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03. |
631 | |
632 | File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003 |
633 | |
634 | - On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first |
635 | two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument |
636 | only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which |
637 | included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the |
638 | catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02. |
639 | |
640 | - Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously |
641 | abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it |
642 | properly returns '[.t3]file'. |
643 | |
644 | File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003 |
645 | |
646 | - abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the |
647 | notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second |
648 | argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do |
649 | not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first |
650 | argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was |
651 | (usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output. |
652 | |
653 | - catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:") |
654 | in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first |
655 | volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used. |
656 | |
657 | - Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the |
658 | current working directory would get added to the second argument if |
659 | none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it |
660 | was contrary to the documented behavior. For example, |
661 | abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns |
662 | 'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo . |
663 | |
664 | - catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..', |
665 | and now it returns '/'. |
666 | |
667 | File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003 |
668 | |
669 | Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1. |
670 | |
671 | - The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting |
672 | its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] |
673 | |
674 | - We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael |
675 | Schwern, Tels] |
676 | |
677 | - Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm. |
678 | [Michael Schwern] |
679 | |
680 | - The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was |
681 | never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern] |
682 | |
683 | - Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant |
684 | strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there. |
685 | [Tels] |
686 | |
687 | - Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and |
688 | tests added for them: |
689 | catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
690 | catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '') |
691 | canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '') |
692 | canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
693 | canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..') |
694 | canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '') |
695 | catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo') |
696 | |
697 | - catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume |
698 | that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume, |
699 | catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms. |
700 | |
701 | File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003 |
702 | |
703 | A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a |
704 | "stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet |
705 | unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl |
706 | 5.8.1. |
707 | |
708 | - File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have |
709 | returned 1. |
710 | |
711 | - Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of |
712 | the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part |
713 | of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path |
714 | argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base |
715 | argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the |
716 | broken relative path previous versions returned. |
717 | |
718 | - Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning |
719 | \../foo into "foo" rather than \foo |
720 | |
721 | - Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir(). |
722 | |
723 | File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003 |
724 | |
725 | No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files |
726 | |
727 | - Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and |
728 | Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file. |
729 | |
730 | - The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping |
731 | on platforms where it can't run properly. |
732 | |
733 | File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003 |
734 | |
735 | I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release |
736 | from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights, |
737 | from what I can tell, are listed here. |
738 | |
739 | - A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in |
740 | line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely |
741 | done by Thomas Wegner. |
742 | |
743 | - The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported. |
744 | |
745 | - Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from |
746 | File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec. |
747 | |
748 | - A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via |
749 | Module::Build. |
750 | |
751 | - Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been |
752 | eliminated. [Michael Schwern] |
753 | |
754 | - canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the |
755 | beginning of a path. |
756 | |
757 | - Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor] |
758 | |
759 | - Various POD fixups |
760 | |
761 | - Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels] |
762 | |
763 | - When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir() |
764 | implementations now avoid returning a tainted path. |
765 | |
766 | - File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(), |
767 | splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather |
768 | than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix. |
769 | |
770 | - Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s |
771 | on Win32. |
772 | |
773 | - catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath() |
774 | on its final argument. |
775 | |
776 | - canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the |
777 | path. |
778 | |
779 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of |
780 | relativity when no base is given. |
781 | |
782 | - abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in |
783 | the $path argument. |
784 | |
785 | - canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo]. |
786 | It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations. |
787 | |
788 | - tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'. |
789 | |
790 | - abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base. |
791 | |
792 | File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000 |
793 | - Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms |
794 | - Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so |
795 | underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone |
796 | needing to update the perl repository. |
797 | - abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks |
798 | - VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository. |
799 | - Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules. |
800 | - Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future |
801 | arrives where method prototypes are honored. |
