7 - Fixed problem that prevented the creation of a zip file that
8 contained more than one compression method.
10 * IO::Compress::Base::Common
11 - The private Validator class in this module clashes with another
12 CPAN module. Moved Validator into the IO::Compress::Base::Common
18 * Fixed problem that meant Perl 5.10 could not upgrade this module.
23 * Removed the alpha status from File::GlobMapper
26 When writing output never output a zero length buffer.
27 Done to improve interoperability with other tied filenandle
30 * Changed IO::Uncompress::Base to not use the offset parameter of
31 the read method when reading from a filehandle.
33 The object returned from Net::FTP::retr implements a non-standard
34 read method. The third parameter is used for a timeout value
35 rather than an offset.
38 * Changed IO::Uncompress::Base to not use the eof method when
39 reading from a filehandle.
41 The object returned from Net::FTP::retr implements both the read
42 method and the eof method. Unfortunately the implementation of
43 the read method uses non-buffered IO (by using sysread) while
44 the eof method uses buffered IO. Mixing buffered and non-buffered
45 IO results in data corruption.
49 * Minor documentation changes in README
51 2.006 1 September 20007
54 Added INSTALLDIRS directive to install as a core module when built
59 * Stephen Turner reported a problem when using IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
60 with XML::Parser. Turns out there were two issues.
62 Firstly an IO::Uncompress object isn't an IO::Handle. It is now.
64 Secondly the implementation of "read" wasn't honouring this
66 SCALAR will be grown or shrunk to the length actually read.
68 In particular it didn't do the right thing on EOF.
73 * Made seek less wasteful of memory.
77 * Added explicit version checking
79 2.002 29 December 2006
81 * Documentation updates.
83 * Added IO::Handle to the ISA test in isaFilehandle
85 * Add an explicit use_ok test for Scalar::Util in the test harness.
86 The error message reported by 01misc implied the problem was
88 Also explictly check that 'dualvar' is available.
94 2.000_14 26 October 2006
96 * IO::Uncompress::Base
97 Added support for $/ in record mode
99 * IO::Uncompress::Base
100 The readline interface was substantially slower than the 1.x
101 equivalent. This has now been sorted.
102 Thanks to Andreas J. Koenig for spotting the problem.
104 * IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress
105 Added IO::Uncompress::Lzf to the list of supported uncompresors.
107 * IO::Uncompress::Base
108 Added TrailingData to one-shot interface.
110 * IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress
111 Remove raw-deflate (RFC1951) from the default list of compressors
113 It can still be included if the new RawInflate parameter is
115 This change was made because the only way to tell if content is
116 raw-deflate is to attempt to uncompress it - a few false positives
117 have popped up recently, which suggests that auto-detecting raw
118 deflate is far from perfect.
119 The equivalent change has been made to IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate.
122 * Don't check that filehandles are writable. It would seem that
123 "-w *STDOUT" on windows returns false.
126 2.000_13 20 June 2006
128 * Store compress & uncompressed sizes as 64-bit.
130 * For one-shot uncompression, like this
132 unzip "some.zip" => \@a, MultiStream => 1;
134 Push each uncompressed stream from "some.zip" onto @a.
136 * Added IO::Compress::Base::FilterEnvelope
138 * Added IO::Uncompress::Base::nextStream
140 * The '-' filehandle now maps to either *STDIN or *STDOUT.
141 This keeps mod_perl happier. Was using these before
148 2.000_11 10 April 2006
150 * Transparent + InputLength made more robust where input data is not
153 2.000_10 13 March 2006
155 * AnyUncompress doesn't assume that IO-Compress-Zlib is installed any
158 2.000_09 3 March 2006
162 2.000_08 2 March 2006
164 * Split IO::Compress::Base into its own distribution.
166 * Added opened, autoflush and input_line_number.
168 * Beefed up support for $.
