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.

17
18 - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's
19 fixed there. [Craig Berry]

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 (;$).

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).

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]
63

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]

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]
78

80
81 - Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been
82 tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant]
83
842.10 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
932.09 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
1142.08 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.
