2
30.35 [2008-03-31]
4 Integrate changes from bleadperl:
5 - Silence Borland compiler warning (Steve Hay)
6 - Fix memory leak in Win32::GetOSVersion (Vincent Pit)
7 - Test Win32::GetCurrentThreadId on cygwin (Reini Urban, Steve Hay)
8
90.34 [2007-11-21]
10 - Document "WinVista" return value for Win32::GetOSName()
11 (Steve Hay).
12
130.33 [2007-11-12]
14 - Update version to 0.33 for Perl 5.10 release
15 - Add $^O test in Makefile.PL for CPAN Testers
16 - Use Win32::GetLastError() instead of $^E in t/Names.t for
17 cygwin compatibility (Jerry D. Hedden).
18
190.32 [2007-09-20]
20 - Additional #define's for older versions of VC++ (Dmitry Karasik).
21 - Win32::DomainName() doesn't return anything when the Workstation
22 service isn't running. Set $^E and adapt t/Names.t accordingly
23 (Steve Hay & Jerry D. Hedden).
24 - Fix t/Names.t to allow Win32::GetOSName() to return an empty
25 description as the 2nd return value (e.g. Vista without SP).
26 - Fix t/GetFileVersion.t for Perl 5.10
27
280.31 [2007-09-10]
29 - Apply Cygwin fixes from bleadperl (from Jerry D. Hedden).
30 - Make sure Win32::GetLongPathName() always returns drive
31 letters in uppercase (Jerry D. Hedden).
32 - Use uppercase environment variable names in t/Unicode.t
33 because the MSWin32 doesn't care, and Cygwin only works
34 with the uppercased version.
35 - new t/Names.t test (from Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni)
36
370.30 [2007-06-25]
38 - Fixed t/Unicode.t test for Cygwin (with help from Jerry D. Hedden).
39 - Fixed and documented Win32::GetShortPathName() to return undef
40 when the pathname doesn't exist (thanks to Steve Hay).
41 - Added t/GetShortPathName.t
42
430.29 [2007-05-17]
44 - Fixed to compile with Borland BCC (thanks to Steve Hay).
45
460.28_01 [2007-05-16]
47 - Increase version number as 0.28 was already used by an ActivePerl
48 release (for essentially 0.27 plus the Win32::IsAdminUser() change).
49
50 - Add MODULE and PROTOTYPES directives to silence warnings from
51 newer versions of xsubpp.
52
53 - Use the Cygwin codepath in Win32::GetFullPathName() when
54 PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS is not defined, because the other code
55 relies on the virtualization code in win32/vdir.h.
56
570.27_02 [2007-05-15]
58 - We need Windows 2000 or later for the Unicode support because
59 WC_NO_BEST_FIT_CHARS is not supported on Windows NT.
60
61 - Fix Win32::GetFullPathName() on Windows NT to return an
62 empty file part if the original argument ends with a slash.
63
640.27_01 [2007-04-18]
65 - Update Win32::IsAdminUser() to use the IsUserAnAdmin() function
66 in shell32.dll when available. On Windows Vista this will only
67 return true if the process is running with elevated privileges
68 and not just when the owner of the process is a member of the
69 "Administrators" group.
70
71 - Win32::ExpandEnvironmentStrings() may return a Unicode string
72 (a string containing characters outside the system codepage)
73
74 - new Win32::GetANSIPathName() function returns a pathname in
75 a form containing only characters from the system codepage
76
77 - Win32::GetCwd() will return an ANSI version of the directory
78 name if the long name contains characters outside the system
79 codepage.
80
81 - Win32::GetFolderPath() will return an ANSI pathname. Call
82 Win32::GetLongPathName() to get the canonical Unicode
83 representation.
84
85 - Win32::GetFullPathName() will return an ANSI pathname. Call
86 Win32::GetLongPathName() to get the canonical Unicode
87 representation.
88
89 - Win32::GetLongPathName() may return a Unicode path name.
90 Call Win32::GetANSIPathName() to get a representation using
91 only characters from the system codepage.
92
93 - Win32::LoginName() may return a Unicode string.
94
95 - new Win32::OutputDebugString() function sends a string to
96 the debugger.
97
98 - new Win32::GetCurrentThreadId() function returns the thread
99 id (to complement the process id in $$).
100
101 - new Win32::CreateDirectory() creates a new directory. The
102 name of the directory may contain Unicode characters outside
103 the system codepage.
104
105 - new Win32::CreateFile() creates a new file. The name of the
106 file may contain Unicode characters outside the system codepage.
107
108
1090.27 [2007-03-07]
110 - Extracted from the libwin32 distribution to simplify maintenance
111 because Win32 is a dual-life core module since 5.8.4.
112
113 - Win32.pm and Win32.xs updated to version in bleadperl.
114 This includes all the Win32::* function from win32/win32.c
115 in core Perl, except for Win32::SetChildShowWindows().
116
117 - Install into 'perl' directory instead of 'site' for Perl 5.8.4
118 and later.
119
120 - Add some simple tests.
