Changes
1
Revision history for Perl distribution PathTools.
2
3
- Fixed a bug in the $ENV{PWD}-updating of Cwd::chdir() when a
4
dirhandle is passed in. [Steve Peters]
5
6
- Add perl 5.005 to the list of requirements in the
7
Build.PL/Makefile.PL/META.yml.
8
9
- Add ExtUtils::CBuilder to the list of build_requires in Build.PL.
10
11
- Improved performance of canonpath() on Unix-ish platforms - on my
12
OS X laptop it looks like it's about twice as fast. [Ruslan Zakirov]
13
14
3.23 - Wed Oct 11 12:11:25 2006
15
16
- Yet more Win32 fixes (sigh... seems like I'm fighting a neverending
17
waterbed...). This time, fixed file_name_is_absolute() to know
18
what it's doing when the path includes a volume but a relative
19
path, like C:foo.txt . This bug had impact in rel2abs() on Win32
20
too.
21
22
3.22 - Mon Oct 9 21:50:52 2006
23
24
- Fixed the t/crossplatform.t test on Win32 (and possibly other
25
volume-aware platforms) now that rel2abs() always adds a drive
26
letter. [Reported by several parties]
27
28
3.21 - Wed Oct 4 21:16:43 2006
29
30
- Added a bunch of X<> tags to the File::Spec docs to help
31
podindex. [Gabor Szabo]
32
33
- On Win32, abs2rel('C:\one\two\t\foo', 't\bar') should return
34
'..\foo' when the cwd is 'C:\one\two', but it wasn't noticing that
35
the two relevant volumes were the same so it would return the full
36
path 'C:\one\two\t\foo'. This is fixed. [Spotted by Alexandr
37
Ciornii]
38
39
- On Win32, rel2abs() now always adds a volume (drive letter) if the
40
given path doesn't have a volume (drive letter or UNC volume).
41
Previously it could return a value that didn't have a volume if the
42
input was a semi-absolute path like /foo/bar instead of a
43
fully-absolute path like C:/foo/bar .
44
45
3.19 Tue Jul 11 22:40:26 CDT 2006
46
47
- When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths
48
(e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm
49
needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into
50
absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround,
51
making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called
52
repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea]
53
54
- Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39
55
when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how
56
to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions
57
don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy]
58
59
- Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was
60
returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by
61
Heinrich Tegethoff]
62
63
3.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006
64
65
- Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be
66
treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards]
67
68
- Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar',
69
'/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao]
70
71
- Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/',
72
'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes]
73
74
3.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006
75
76
- The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments
77
(which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since
78
that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a
79
subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping
80
if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf
81
when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden]
82
83
3.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006
84
85
- Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward
86
compatibility XS layers for older perl versions.
87
88
- Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs()
89
methods that the cwd() function it discusses is
90
Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark]
91
92
- Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5
93
(and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps
94
as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error.
95
We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since
96
"PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted
97
by Eamon Daly and others]
98
99
3.15 Tue Dec 27 14:17:39 CST 2005
100
101
- The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to
102
the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is
103
safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did
104
abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in
105
which the XS version can't load, such as when running under
106
miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons]
107
108
- When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop
109
after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We
110
also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already
111
found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or
112
/usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons]
113
114
- On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the
115
root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been
116
fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler]
117
118
- In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so
119
that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file',
120
'[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John
121
E. Malmberg]
122
123
- In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of
124
just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg]
125
126
3.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005
127
128
- canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a
129
//double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where
130
that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O
131
rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that
132
calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin
133
unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does.
134
135
- Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes
136
create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it
137
shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")).
138
139
3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005
140
141
- Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing
142
some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if
143
they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself
144
(submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working
145
around. [Thomas L. Shinnick]
146
147
- Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs
148
needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov]
149
150
- abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments
151
were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns
152
curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden]
153
154
- The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified.
155
156
3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005
157
158
- Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root
159
directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich]
160
161
- Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on
162
Win32. [Gisle Aas]
163
164
3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005
165
166
- Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for
167
File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik]
168
169
3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005
170
171
- eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now
172
deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside
173
MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern]
174
175
- canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections
176
correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously
177
doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these
178
sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern]
179
180
3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005
181
182
- Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS
183
function, which were necessary to separate the variable
184
declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not
185
defined. [Yves]
186
187
- Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I
188
thought it was, so I simplified the code around it.
189
190
- When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it
191
sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl
192
5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now
193
fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss]
194
195
3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005
196
197
- Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was
198
sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay]
199
200
3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005
201
202
- Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become
203
tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern]
204
205
- File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ .
206
[Michael Schwern]
207
208
- We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly
209
necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance
210
boost. [Richard Soderberg]
211
212
- Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works
213
(or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
214
215
3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005
216
217
(No changes in functionality)
218
219
- Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse
220
foo/../bar sections.
221
222
- The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses
223
normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark]
224
225
3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005
226
227
- Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and
228
backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq]
229
230
- Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error
231
(though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build
232
process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael
233
Garcia-Suarez]
234
235
- In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're
236
testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
237
238
3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005
239
240
- For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available,
241
because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl
242
was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C
243
function is defined on their platform when their perl is old.
244
Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by
245
several parties]
246
247
- Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker
248
doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib
249
file. [Jerry Hedden]
250
251
- Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had
252
read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry]
253
254
3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005
255
256
- Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root
257
directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac]
258
259
- Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during
260
testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments
261
and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end.
262
263
- Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually
264
pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not
265
to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`.
266
267
3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005
268
269
- Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root
270
directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin]
271
272
- Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd
273
module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden]
274
275
- Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of
276
abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people
277
grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway.
278
279
- Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd
280
(the version already installed on the user's machine) would get
281
loaded instead of the one we're building & installing.
282
283
- Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't
284
require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois]
285
286
- Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay]
287
288
- Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on
289
older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root]
290
291
- Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there
292
won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of
293
disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke]
294
295
- Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a
296
syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern]
297
298
- The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were
299
lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're
300
restored now. [Craig A. Berry]
301
302
- File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat'
303
down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'.
304
This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax
305
parser. [Craig A. Berry]
306
307
- In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple
308
-> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in
309
the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed
310
with the rest of the stuff.
311
312
- Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with
313
older perls like 5.005.
314
315
- abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted
316
by Neil MacMullen]
317
318
- Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm
319
file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski]
320
321
3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004
322
323
- Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from
324
the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL.
325
326
- Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't
327
even begin to work. [Reported by many]
328
329
3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004
330
331
- Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution.
332
This was done because the two modules use each other fairly
333
extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another
334
distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00
335
of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and
336
File::Spec 0.90.
337
338
==================================================================
339
Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two
340
separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here.
341
The revision history for File::Spec is further below.
342
==================================================================
343
344
Cwd 2.21 Tue Aug 31 22:50:14 CDT 2004
345
346
- Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the
347
distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly]
348
349
- Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work
350
(platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry]
351
352
Cwd 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004
353
354
- On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?)
355
occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster]
356
357
- Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32.
358
359
- Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path()
360
that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark]
361
To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't
362
otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE}
363
or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set.
364
365
Cwd 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004
366
367
- The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's
368
fixed there. [Craig Berry]
369
370
Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004
371
372
- Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could
373
only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This
374
was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path().
375
376
- Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above.
377
378
- On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the
379
current working directory of the specified drive/volume.
380
[Steve Hay]
381
382
- Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY
383
compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
384
385
- When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the
386
path separator is ':'.
387
388
- On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32),
389
don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed
390
up load time. [Stefan Scherer]
391
392
- The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as
393
the XS version (;$).
394
395
Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004
396
397
- The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from
398
within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp ->
399
/private/tmp).
400
401
Cwd 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004
402
403
- For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented
404
interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results
405
to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry]
406
407
Cwd 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004
408
409
- Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating
410
Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from
411
blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac]
412
413
Cwd 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004
414
415
- We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular
416
expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This
417
fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No
418
changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay]
419
420
Cwd 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004
421
422
- Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that
423
it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
424
425
- Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD
426
people]
427
428
Cwd 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003
429
430
- Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been
431
tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant]
432
433
Cwd 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003
434
435
(Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even
436
though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how
437
THAT happened...)
438
439
- There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which
440
isn't necessary. I've removed it.
441
442
Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003
443
444
- The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl.
445
446
- We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of
447
Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard
448
lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if
449
you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL .
450
451
- Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim
452
of backporting this module to perl 5.005.
453
454
- Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls
455
carp()/croak().
456
457
- Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael
458
Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich.
459
460
- Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression
461
tests. [Sam Vilain]
462
463
Cwd 2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003
464
465
- Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN
466
release by Ken Williams.
467
468
==================================================================
469
Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two
470
separate distributions. The revision history for File::Spec is shown
471
here. The revision history for Cwd is above.

File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004
475
476
- On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so
477
rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with
478
paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry]
479
480
File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004
481
482
- Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and
483
splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry]
484
485
- Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative
486
path. [Craig A. Berry]
487
488
File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004
489
490
- rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so
491
that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the
492
current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18.
493
[Steve Hay]
494
495
- Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character
496
class. [Alexander Farber]
497
498
- Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester]
499
500
File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003
501
502
- With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004.
503
[Issue reported by Barry Kemble]
504
505
File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003
506
507
- This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to
508
the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03.
509
510
File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003
511
512
- On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first
513
two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument
514
only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which
515
included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the
516
catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02.
517
518
- Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously
519
abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it
520
properly returns '[.t3]file'.
521
522
File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003
523
524
- abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the
525
notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second
526
argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do
527
not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first
528
argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was
529
(usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output.
530
531
- catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:")
532
in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first
533
volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used.
534
535
- Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the
536
current working directory would get added to the second argument if
537
none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it
538
was contrary to the documented behavior. For example,
539
abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns
540
'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo .
541
542
- catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..',
543
and now it returns '/'.
544
545
File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003
546
547
Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1.
548
549
- The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting
550
its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
551
552
- We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael
553
Schwern, Tels]
554
555
- Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm.
556
[Michael Schwern]
557
558
- The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was
559
never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern]
560
561
- Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant
562
strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there.
563
[Tels]
564
565
- Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and
566
tests added for them:
567
catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..')
568
catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '')
569
canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '')
570
canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '')
571
canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..')
572
canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '')
573
catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo')
574
575
- catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume
576
that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume,
577
catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms.
578
579
File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003
580
581
A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a
582
"stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet
583
unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl
584
5.8.1.
585
586
- File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have
587
returned 1.
588
589
- Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of
590
the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part
591
of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path
592
argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base
593
argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the
594
broken relative path previous versions returned.
595
596
- Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning
597
\../foo into "foo" rather than \foo
598
599
- Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir().
600
601
File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003
602
603
No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files
604
605
- Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and
606
Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file.
607
608
- The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping
609
on platforms where it can't run properly.
610
611
File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003
612
613
I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release
614
from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights,
615
from what I can tell, are listed here.
616
617
- A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in
618
line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely
619
done by Thomas Wegner.
620
621
- The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported.
622
623
- Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from
624
File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec.
625
626
- A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via
627
Module::Build.
628
629
- Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been
630
eliminated. [Michael Schwern]
631
632
- canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the
633
beginning of a path.
634
635
- Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor]
636
637
- Various POD fixups
638
639
- Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels]
640
641
- When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir()
642
implementations now avoid returning a tainted path.
643
644
- File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(),
645
splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather
646
than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix.
647
648
- Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s
649
on Win32.
650
651
- catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath()
652
on its final argument.
653
654
- canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the
655
path.
656
657
- abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of
658
relativity when no base is given.
659
660
- abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in
661
the $path argument.
662
663
- canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo].
664
It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations.
665
666
- tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'.
667
668
- abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base.
669
670
File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000
671
- Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms
672
- Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so
673
underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone
674
needing to update the perl repository.
675
- abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks
676
- VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository.
677
- Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules.
678
- Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future
679
arrives where method prototypes are honored.
