Revision history for Perl distribution PathTools.
+3.19 Tue Jul 11 22:40:26 CDT 2006
+
+ - When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths
+ (e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm
+ needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into
+ absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround,
+ making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called
+ repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea]
+
+ - Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39
+ when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how
+ to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions
+ don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy]
+
+ - Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was
+ returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by
+ Heinrich Tegethoff]
+
+3.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006
+
+ - Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be
+ treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards]
+
+ - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar',
+ '/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao]
+
+ - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/',
+ 'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes]
+
+3.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006
+
+ - The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments
+ (which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since
+ that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a
+ subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping
+ if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf
+ when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden]
+
+3.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006
+
+ - Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward
+ compatibility XS layers for older perl versions.
+
+ - Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs()
+ methods that the cwd() function it discusses is
+ Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark]
+
+ - Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5
+ (and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps
+ as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error.
+ We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since
+ "PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted
+ by Eamon Daly and others]
+
+3.15 Tue Dec 27 14:17:39 CST 2005
+
+ - The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to
+ the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is
+ safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did
+ abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in
+ which the XS version can't load, such as when running under
+ miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons]
+
+ - When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop
+ after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We
+ also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already
+ found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or
+ /usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons]
+
+ - On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the
+ root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been
+ fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler]
+
+ - In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so
+ that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file',
+ '[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John
+ E. Malmberg]
+
+ - In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of
+ just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg]
+
+3.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005
+
+ - canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a
+ //double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where
+ that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O
+ rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that
+ calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin
+ unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does.
+
+ - Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes
+ create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it
+ shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")).
+
+3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005
+
+ - Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing
+ some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if
+ they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself
+ (submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working
+ around. [Thomas L. Shinnick]
+
+ - Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs
+ needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov]
+
+ - abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments
+ were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns
+ curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden]
+
+ - The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified.
+
+3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005
+
+ - Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root
+ directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich]
+
+ - Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on
+ Win32. [Gisle Aas]
+
+3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005
+
+ - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for
+ File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik]
+
+3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005
+
+ - eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now
+ deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside
+ MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections
+ correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously
+ doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these
+ sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern]
+
+3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005
+
+ - Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS
+ function, which were necessary to separate the variable
+ declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not
+ defined. [Yves]
+
+ - Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I
+ thought it was, so I simplified the code around it.
+
+ - When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it
+ sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl
+ 5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now
+ fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss]
+
+3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005
+
+ - Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was
+ sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay]
+
+3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005
+
+ - Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become
+ tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ .
+ [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly
+ necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance
+ boost. [Richard Soderberg]
+
+ - Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works
+ (or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
+
+3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005
+
+ (No changes in functionality)
+
+ - Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse
+ foo/../bar sections.
+
+ - The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses
+ normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark]
