-2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004
+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]
+
+3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005
+
+ - Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and
+ backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq]
+
+ - Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error
+ (though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build
+ process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael
+ Garcia-Suarez]
+
+ - In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're
+ testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
+
+3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005
+
+ - For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available,
+ because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl
+ was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C
+ function is defined on their platform when their perl is old.
+ Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by
+ several parties]
+
+ - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker
+ doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib
+ file. [Jerry Hedden]
+
+ - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had
+ read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005
+
+ - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root
+ directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac]
+
+ - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during
+ testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments
+ and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end.
+
+ - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually
+ pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not
+ to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`.
+
+3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005
+
+ - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root
+ directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin]
+
+ - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd
+ module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden]
+
+ - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of
+ abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people
+ grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway.
+
+ - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd
+ (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get
+ loaded instead of the one we're building & installing.
+
+ - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't
+ require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois]
+
+ - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay]
+
+ - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on
+ older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root]
+
+ - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there
+ won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of
+ disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke]
+
+ - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a
+ syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern]
+
+ - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were
+ lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're
+ restored now. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+ - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat'
+ down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'.
+ This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax
+ parser. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+ - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple
+ -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in
+ the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed
+ with the rest of the stuff.
+
+ - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with
+ older perls like 5.005.
+
+ - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted
+ by Neil MacMullen]
+
+ - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm
+ file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski]
+
+3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004
+
+ - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from
+ the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL.
+
+ - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't
+ even begin to work. [Reported by many]
+
+3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004
+
+ - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution.
+ This was done because the two modules use each other fairly
+ extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another
+ distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00
+ of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and
+ File::Spec 0.90.
+
+==================================================================
+Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two
+separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here.
+The revision history for File::Spec is further below.
+==================================================================
+
+Cwd 2.21 Tue Aug 31 22:50:14 CDT 2004
+
+ - Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the
+ distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly]
+
+ - Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work
+ (platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry]
+
+Cwd 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004
+
+ - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?)
+ occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster]
+
+ - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32.
+
+ - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path()
+ that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark]
+ To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't
+ otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE}
+ or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set.
+
+Cwd 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004
+
+ - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's
+ fixed there. [Craig Berry]
+
+Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004
+
+ - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could
+ only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This
+ was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path().
+
+ - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above.
+
+ - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the
+ current working directory of the specified drive/volume.
+ [Steve Hay]
+
+ - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY
+ compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
+
+ - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the
+ path separator is ':'.
+
+ - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32),
+ don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed
+ up load time. [Stefan Scherer]
+
+ - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as
+ the XS version (;$).
+
+Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004
+
+ - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from
+ within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp ->
+ /private/tmp).
+
+Cwd 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004
+
+ - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented
+ interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results
+ to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+Cwd 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004
+
+ - Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating
+ Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from
+ blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac]
+
+Cwd 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004
- We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular
expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This
fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No
changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay]
-2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004
+Cwd 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004
- Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that
it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
- Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD
people]
-2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003
+Cwd 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003
- Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been
tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant]
-2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003
+Cwd 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003
(Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even
though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how
- There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which
isn't necessary. I've removed it.
-2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003
+Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003
- The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl.
- Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression
tests. [Sam Vilain]
-2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003
+Cwd 2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003
- Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN
release by Ken Williams.
+==================================================================
+Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two
+separate distributions. The revision history for File::Spec is shown
+here. The revision history for Cwd is above.
+==================================================================
+
+File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004
+
+ - On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so
+ rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with
+ paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004
+
+ - Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and
+ splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry]
+
+ - Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative
+ path. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004
+
+ - rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so
+ that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the
+ current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18.
+ [Steve Hay]
+
+ - Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character
+ class. [Alexander Farber]
+
+ - Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester]
+
+File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003
+
+ - With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004.
+ [Issue reported by Barry Kemble]
+
+File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003
+
+ - This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to
+ the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03.
+
+File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003
+
+ - On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first
+ two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument
+ only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which
+ included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the
+ catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02.
+
+ - Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously
+ abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it
+ properly returns '[.t3]file'.
+
+File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003
+
+ - abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the
+ notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second
+ argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do
+ not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first
+ argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was
+ (usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output.
+
+ - catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:")
+ in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first
+ volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used.
+
+ - Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the
+ current working directory would get added to the second argument if
+ none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it
+ was contrary to the documented behavior. For example,
+ abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns
+ 'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo .
+
+ - catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..',
+ and now it returns '/'.
+
+File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003
+
+ Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1.
+
+ - The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting
+ its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
+
+ - We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael
+ Schwern, Tels]
+
+ - Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm.
+ [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was
+ never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant
+ strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there.
+ [Tels]
+
+ - Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and
+ tests added for them:
+ catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..')
+ catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '')
+ canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '')
+ canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '')
+ canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..')
+ canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '')
+ catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo')
+
+ - catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume
+ that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume,
+ catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms.
+
+File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003
+
+ A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a
+ "stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet
+ unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl
+ 5.8.1.
+
+ - File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have
+ returned 1.
+
+ - Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of
+ the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part
+ of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path
+ argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base
+ argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the
+ broken relative path previous versions returned.
+
+ - Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning
+ \../foo into "foo" rather than \foo
+
+ - Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir().
+
+File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003
+
+ No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files
+
+ - Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and
+ Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file.
+
+ - The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping
+ on platforms where it can't run properly.
+
+File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003
+
+ I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release
+ from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights,
+ from what I can tell, are listed here.
+
+ - A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in
+ line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely
+ done by Thomas Wegner.
+
+ - The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported.
+
+ - Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from
+ File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec.
+
+ - A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via
+ Module::Build.
+
+ - Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been
+ eliminated. [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the
+ beginning of a path.
+
+ - Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor]
+
+ - Various POD fixups
+
+ - Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels]
+
+ - When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir()
+ implementations now avoid returning a tainted path.
+
+ - File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(),
+ splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather
+ than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix.
+
+ - Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s
+ on Win32.
+
+ - catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath()
+ on its final argument.
+
+ - canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the
+ path.
+
+ - abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of
+ relativity when no base is given.
+
+ - abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in
+ the $path argument.
+
+ - canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo].
+ It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations.
+
+ - tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'.
+
+ - abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base.
+
+File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000
+ - Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms
+ - Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so
+ underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone
+ needing to update the perl repository.
+ - abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks
+ - VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository.
+ - Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules.
+ - Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future
+ arrives where method prototypes are honored.
