1 Revision history for Perl extension Cwd.
3 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004
5 - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's
6 fixed there. [Craig Berry]
8 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004
10 - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could
11 only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This
12 was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path().
14 - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above.
16 - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the
17 current working directory of the specified drive/volume.
20 - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY
21 compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
23 - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the
24 path separator is ':'.
26 - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32),
27 don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed
28 up load time. [Stefan Scherer]
30 - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as
33 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004
35 - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from
36 within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp ->
39 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004
41 - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented
42 interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results
43 to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry]
45 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004
47 - Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating
48 Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from
49 blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac]
51 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004
53 - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular
54 expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This
55 fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No
56 changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay]
58 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004
60 - Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that
61 it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
63 - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD
66 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003
68 - Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been
69 tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant]
71 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003
73 (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even
74 though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how
77 - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which
78 isn't necessary. I've removed it.
80 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003
82 - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl.
84 - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of
85 Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard
86 lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if
87 you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL .
89 - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim
90 of backporting this module to perl 5.005.
92 - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls
95 - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael
96 Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich.
98 - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression
101 2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003
103 - Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN
104 release by Ken Williams.
