6 * IO::Uncompress::Deflate
7 Beefed up the magic signature check. Means less false positives
8 when auto-detecting the compression type.
10 * IO::Uncompress::UnZip
11 Tighten up the zip64 extra field processing to cope with the case
12 wheere only some of the local header fields are superceeded.
14 * IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate
15 Remove raw-deflate (RFC 1951) from the default list of compressors
17 It can still be included if the new RawInflate parameter is
19 This change was made because the only way to tell if content is
20 raw-deflate is to attempt to uncompress it - a few false positives
21 have popped up recently, which suggests that auto-detecting raw
22 deflate is far from perfect.
23 The equivalent change has been made to IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress.
28 * Preliminary support for reading zip files with zip64 members.
32 * Moved the code for creating and parsing the gzip extra field into
33 IO::Compress::Zlib::Extra.pm so that IO::Compress::Zip &
34 IO::Uncompress::Unzip can use it as well.
36 * Added ExtraFieldLocal & ExtraFieldCentral options to IO::Compress::Zip.
37 These allow the creation of user-defined extra fields in the local
38 and central headers, just like the ExtraField option in
41 * Moved the zip constants into IO::Compress::Zip::Constants
43 * Added exTime option to IO::Compress::Zip.
44 This allows creation of the extended timestamp extra field.
46 * Added Minimal option to IO::Compress::Zip.
47 This disables the creation of all extended fields.
49 * Added TextFlag option to IO::Compress::Zip.
51 * Documented Comment and ZipComment options in IO::Compress::Zip.
53 2.000_11 10 April 2006
55 * Updated Documentation for zip modules.
57 * Changed IO::Compress::Zip 'Store' option to 'Method' and added
58 symbolic constants ZIP_CM_STORE, ZIP_CM_DEFLATE and ZIP_CM_BZIP2 to
59 allow the compression method to be picked by the user.
61 * Added support to allow bzip2 compressed data to be written/read
62 with IO::Compress::Zip and IO::Uncompress::Unzip.
64 * Beefed up 050interop-gzip.t to check that the external gzip command
65 works as expected before starting the tests. This means that
66 this test harness will just be skipped on problematic systems.
68 * Merged core patch 27565 from Steve Peters. This works around a
69 problem with gzip on OpenBSD where it doesn't seem to like
70 compressing files < 10 bytes long.
72 2.000_10 13 March 2006
74 * Documentation updates.
82 * Split IO::Compress::Zlib into its own distribution.
84 * Beefed up support for zip/unzip
