6 * Fixed problem that meant Perl 5.10 could not upgrade this module.
13 - Added exUnix2 option to allow storing of UID & GID.
14 - When running on a Unix derivative the ExtAttr option now defaults
15 to the equivalent of 0666. For all other systems the default
20 * Minor documentation changes in README
22 * t/compress/truncate.pl
25 * IO::Compress::Gzip::Constants.pm
26 Tidied up the character classes used to defined invalid
27 FNAME & FCOMMENT fields for EBCDIC.
29 2.006 1 September 2007
32 Added INSTALLDIRS directive to install as a core module when built
35 * IO::Uncompress::RawDeflate
37 - Fixed export problem - "$RawDeflateError" and "rawdeflate" were
38 not being exported with ":all".
42 * IO::Compress::Gzip & IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
44 - RFC1952 says that the FNAME & FCOMMENT header fields must be ISO
45 8859-1 (LATIN-1) characters. The code can optionally police this.
46 Added a fix for this logic when running on EBCDIC.
50 - Check if IO::Compress::Bzip2 is already installed. If it is, add
51 to the PREREQ_PM list.
57 - Added Zip64 documentation.
59 - Fixed extended timestamp.
60 Creation time isn't available in Unix so only store the
61 modification time and the last access time in the extended field.
65 - Added ExtAttr option to control the value of the "external file
66 attributes" field in the central directory.
68 - Added Unix2 extended attribute ("Ux").
69 This stores the UID & GID.
73 - Fixed 050interop-gzip.t for Windows
77 * Added explicit version checking
79 2.002 29 December 2006
81 * Documentation updates.
87 2.000_14 26 October 2006
89 * IO::Uncompress::Deflate
90 Beefed up the magic signature check. Means less false positives
91 when auto-detecting the compression type.
93 * IO::Uncompress::UnZip
94 Tighten up the zip64 extra field processing to cope with the case
95 wheere only some of the local header fields are superceeded.
97 * IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate
98 Remove raw-deflate (RFC 1951) from the default list of compressors
100 It can still be included if the new RawInflate parameter is
102 This change was made because the only way to tell if content is
103 raw-deflate is to attempt to uncompress it - a few false positives
104 have popped up recently, which suggests that auto-detecting raw
105 deflate is far from perfect.
106 The equivalent change has been made to IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress.
109 2.000_13 20 June 2006
111 * Preliminary support for reading zip files with zip64 members.
115 * Moved the code for creating and parsing the gzip extra field into
116 IO::Compress::Zlib::Extra.pm so that IO::Compress::Zip &
117 IO::Uncompress::Unzip can use it as well.
119 * Added ExtraFieldLocal & ExtraFieldCentral options to IO::Compress::Zip.
120 These allow the creation of user-defined extra fields in the local
121 and central headers, just like the ExtraField option in
124 * Moved the zip constants into IO::Compress::Zip::Constants
126 * Added exTime option to IO::Compress::Zip.
127 This allows creation of the extended timestamp extra field.
129 * Added Minimal option to IO::Compress::Zip.
130 This disables the creation of all extended fields.
132 * Added TextFlag option to IO::Compress::Zip.
134 * Documented Comment and ZipComment options in IO::Compress::Zip.
136 2.000_11 10 April 2006
138 * Updated Documentation for zip modules.
140 * Changed IO::Compress::Zip 'Store' option to 'Method' and added
141 symbolic constants ZIP_CM_STORE, ZIP_CM_DEFLATE and ZIP_CM_BZIP2 to
142 allow the compression method to be picked by the user.
144 * Added support to allow bzip2 compressed data to be written/read
145 with IO::Compress::Zip and IO::Uncompress::Unzip.
147 * Beefed up 050interop-gzip.t to check that the external gzip command
148 works as expected before starting the tests. This means that
149 this test harness will just be skipped on problematic systems.
151 * Merged core patch 27565 from Steve Peters. This works around a
152 problem with gzip on OpenBSD where it doesn't seem to like
153 compressing files < 10 bytes long.
155 2.000_10 13 March 2006
157 * Documentation updates.
159 2.000_09 3 March 2006
163 2.000_08 2 March 2006
165 * Split IO::Compress::Zlib into its own distribution.
167 * Beefed up support for zip/unzip
