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] + +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,
