+
+ - 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]

+
+ - 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]

+
+ - 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]

+
+ - 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]
