6 * IO::Compress::Gzip & IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
8 - RFC1952 says that the FNAME & FCOMMENT header fields must be ISO
9 8859-1 (LATIN-1) characters. The code can optionally police this.
10 Added a fix for this logic when running on EBCDIC.
14 - Check if IO::Compress::Bzip2 is already installed. If it is, add
15 to the PREREQ_PM list.
21 - Added Zip64 documentation.
23 - Fixed extended timestamp.
24 Creation time isn't available in Unix so only store the
25 modification time and the last access time in the extended field.
29 - Added ExtAttr option to control the value of the "external file
30 attributes" field in the central directory.
32 - Added Unix2 extended attribute ("Ux").
33 This stores the UID & GID.
37 - Fixed 050interop-gzip.t for Windows
41 * Added explicit version checking
43 2.002 29 December 2006
45 * Documentation updates.
51 2.000_14 26 October 2006
53 * IO::Uncompress::Deflate
54 Beefed up the magic signature check. Means less false positives
55 when auto-detecting the compression type.
57 * IO::Uncompress::UnZip
58 Tighten up the zip64 extra field processing to cope with the case
59 wheere only some of the local header fields are superceeded.
61 * IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate
62 Remove raw-deflate (RFC 1951) from the default list of compressors
64 It can still be included if the new RawInflate parameter is
66 This change was made because the only way to tell if content is
67 raw-deflate is to attempt to uncompress it - a few false positives
68 have popped up recently, which suggests that auto-detecting raw
69 deflate is far from perfect.
70 The equivalent change has been made to IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress.
75 * Preliminary support for reading zip files with zip64 members.
79 * Moved the code for creating and parsing the gzip extra field into
80 IO::Compress::Zlib::Extra.pm so that IO::Compress::Zip &
81 IO::Uncompress::Unzip can use it as well.
83 * Added ExtraFieldLocal & ExtraFieldCentral options to IO::Compress::Zip.
84 These allow the creation of user-defined extra fields in the local
85 and central headers, just like the ExtraField option in
88 * Moved the zip constants into IO::Compress::Zip::Constants
90 * Added exTime option to IO::Compress::Zip.
91 This allows creation of the extended timestamp extra field.
93 * Added Minimal option to IO::Compress::Zip.
94 This disables the creation of all extended fields.
96 * Added TextFlag option to IO::Compress::Zip.
98 * Documented Comment and ZipComment options in IO::Compress::Zip.
100 2.000_11 10 April 2006
102 * Updated Documentation for zip modules.
104 * Changed IO::Compress::Zip 'Store' option to 'Method' and added
105 symbolic constants ZIP_CM_STORE, ZIP_CM_DEFLATE and ZIP_CM_BZIP2 to
106 allow the compression method to be picked by the user.
108 * Added support to allow bzip2 compressed data to be written/read
109 with IO::Compress::Zip and IO::Uncompress::Unzip.
111 * Beefed up 050interop-gzip.t to check that the external gzip command
112 works as expected before starting the tests. This means that
113 this test harness will just be skipped on problematic systems.
115 * Merged core patch 27565 from Steve Peters. This works around a
116 problem with gzip on OpenBSD where it doesn't seem to like
117 compressing files < 10 bytes long.
119 2.000_10 13 March 2006
121 * Documentation updates.
123 2.000_09 3 March 2006
127 2.000_08 2 March 2006
129 * Split IO::Compress::Zlib into its own distribution.
131 * Beefed up support for zip/unzip
